I wonder what the best format is for a System Shock 2 single level FM. The game is obviously designed around an entire campaign with its stats and skills but it's unreasonable to expect every fan mission author to make something of the quality of a Christine campaign, it's probably a big reason why SS2 has so few FMs compared to Thief 1 & 2.
I haven't actually played any of the non-campaign SS2 FMs yet to explore this concept, just Christine's three and RttUNN which are all multi level campaigns with enough time for character building.
So how do you go about a single level FM? Start with all your stats up and skip the cyber modules entirely? Make cyber module injections much higher? The game also doesn't lend itself to easy objective-making like Thief where you just tell the player to go steal something and they figure out the rest. Anyone got any actual thoughts on this?

>I used that word because everyone is put to work equally.
Even then they're obviously not. You have the retards dragging corpses to the mouth chamber, the ones actually patrolling with shotguns, pic relateds being lazy asses, gestator bitches being the backbone of the entire thing and then you have the aristocrats who become basically part of the cortex. Its like you say, its a lot of bullshit with how they do it in general.

Pacing is a killer if you let too much freedom exist Anon. Trust me on this.
