And so me and a friend were playing the campaign online when we were faced with the impossible task of distracting the Shivian Fleet from the other jump nodes where a Sathanas jumped in and proceeded to pummel the Colossus to death. We jumped onto the task and managed to destroy the four beam cannons just before they could fire again and take down the Colossus. After that it just seemed to wander about unsure of what to do. We destroyed it and had to exit because we had the choice of either:

A. Going AWOL and being executed.
- OR -
B. Destroying the GTVA's largest warship, killing over 30 000, and getting a pat on the back for it too.

Personally I think the MP mission has some major bugs in it.

ADDENDUM: The Colossus did fire it's beam cannons many times, but the AOA (Angle of Attack) restricted most cannons due to their firing arcs.

Screenshots (sorry, the blastwave from the Sathanas blew me to hell so I missed it):

What about the Saths fifth Beam Cannon.

[tinfoil]

that one's at the back

And hence out of arc.

Well, I do remember someone saved Capella once ... i.e the supernova failed to trigger.

[Aardwolf]

That would be Grey Wolf.

You've doomed us all!!!!!  Now instead on 80 Juggernauts they'll send hundreds.  There will be supernova's all over the place.

Hey, what's special about your radar? How did you do that? I'm new here.

Also, lmao at saving the Colossus. First time I've ever heard of that.

[Titan]

it's on multiplayer, but it was simply converted, not rebaleced. meanng its easy to do, and not atapted to having ore than one intelligent ship out in the field.

and the radar is a SCP-optional feature.

[Socio]

How do I do it? what's the function of it?

[General Battuta]

Download FS2Open and enable the '3d radar' flag in the launcher.

If you have a good computer, get the MediaVPs to make the game prettier.

Check The Classics. Also, if you want to save Capella, read the Apocalypse article on FreeSpace Wiki. I tried it out once and I saved everyone except the Terrans on the Lemnos and the Vasudans on the Ptah-Nu.

You disarmed ALL 4 cannons so fast?! With a fighter?!


If you only could do that with all 80...

As more or less approved geek, I'll have to point out the plural of supernova is supernovae.

As a person who gladly approves loanwords, "supernovas" is also acceptable.

[Goober5000]

No, it shouldn't.

[Romanmolf]

Why?

[Snail]

It's not funny.

At least, not as funny as the void of spam thread.

[Mobius]

Meh. I did that many months ago. I took two screenshots(exploding Sathanas and death camera with the debris clearly visible in the background), too. Let's see if I can find them but I'm afraid they're gone due to the repair op of my PC. Anyway, just ike you, I've been destroyed by the exploding Sathanas.

So no, I'm the true Savior of the Colossus!

BTW this reminds me the Colossus' strange behavior when fighting the first Sathanas. In Retail FS2 the Colossus' maneuver was regular while in FSO it's not(the Colossus shakes for a while or moves strangely). More than funny things to look at these seem minor FSO bugs, IMO. 

EDIT: No offense to the coders...

Convenient.
