You want weird bugs?

Retail version of Casualities of War played on 3.6.9.

In one mission, you'd turn into a Volition Bravos three out of ten times. :P

Difficulty. The higher the difficulty, the more beams will fire at the Phoenicia. If enough beams hit her, she will be pushed to 0 health so fast that the sexp that is supposed to guardian her when she hits 4% health doesn't have time to engage.

That could probably be a candidate for an FSU tweak, one would think.  Just re-write the SEXP to trigger whenever the Phoenicia's hull falls below 5%, or something along those lines.

It can't be dependent on difficulty alone. The very first time I played FS2 (on very easy) it got destroyed on my end.
And on medium it seems to be a 50/50 chance on my computer.

Difficulty is the most deciding factor. On medium, there's a chance she might get away, on lower difficulty she will almost always make it, on higher ones her death is almost guaranteed.

I'm fairly sure the Sath engages with fire-beam as even on Very Easy it will fire all four beams if you're looking its way. People from the coding side have put it down to vagaries of processor speed when asked.

Well, to answer your question, Max, you can read this: http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Fly_as_a_capital_ship

You can steer it, but since every gun port is a turret, you won't be able to stop it from firing. Then there's the whole turning issue when it comes to large ships...

The Bravos is actually quite playable, 55m/s top speed, turning's not so great but it has a good rate of roll to let you bring your heavy flaks to bear.

has anyone ever summoned one and killed it?  if so, what did you use and how long did it take?

Klaus, you can summon a Bravos in front of a Sathanas and the Shivan Juggernaut won't even be able to grind through 1% of its health even if you gave it an hour.

Nope. The Shivans are much, much larger than one Dante.

Which is why the GTVA trying to fight them with hard power is simply idiotic, and the war against the UEF is utterly pointless.

HOWEVER GTVA FTW
