Hathesput. Forever burned into my mind as the first capship I saw in FS.

Plus, it has that glorious HTL job coming.

[Killer Whale]

Lucy, the red, the black, the shape... It's just so cool!! A fact increased by the storylines of derelict and Descent: Freespace.

Orion is a box.

[stuart133]

A box with character though?
But on the other hand the Hecate is not a box with character

[Droid803]

The Hecate isn't a box at all.
Its a collection of oddly shaped boxes welded together.

I don't get why people say that the retail Orion has character...
It's...bland, generic space brick!

[Colonol Dekker]

So's the Ursa, but they both have Character.. Just check the command anis that feature the Orion.. Gorgeous, The first Orion to show up in retail, defending the Knossos when you spy your first Asteroth... That was buh-reel-eeant!

[Droid803]

I've never played much of FS2 in retail (only up to mission with the Roman's Blunder) before switching over to MVPs. I saw the HTL Orion first, so I'm more used to it's features as compared to the retail one which looks really low poly.

Yeah, I meant that it's not a box, and it has character. Also the Orion does have character, every time I see it I see the Bastion and the Galatea

[Snail]

The Orion only had character in FS1, where there were only two really important ones, the Galatea and Bastion.

In FS2 they're thrown around like used toilet paper.

[Droid803]

Yeah...and I played FS2 first which pretty much portrayed them as "Space Brick #12781738", also with MVPs on (which makes me more accustomed to the high-poly version, hence it's greebles look natural to me). I couldn't bring Myself to go Über old school and play pure retail...

That may have ruined it for me...

Which is exactly what a warship should be. A massive, slab-sided collection of armor plate, weapons, and flight deck.

The Orion.

[Akalabeth Angel]

Actually, I like the Demon too.

Too bad TrashMan's is... bleh.

Is what? Unfinished?

Which is yours??? In themedia VPs? That one in the VPs, it looks nice except for those two big dumbass pipes near the engine. I don't know what that's about but it really turns me off to be honest.

[TrashMan]

There's a SD DEMON in the media VP? Where? When? How?

[Vasudan Admiral]

Three very valid questions.
Akalabeth?

[Akalabeth Angel]

Oh, no negative. I was talking about the Deimos. I quoted the last message re: the Deimos in the conversation but in hindsight I see that was misleading.

[Vasudan Admiral]

Well that does clear that up, but also another question I have is why do people complain about those pipes on the deimos so much? I've never seen anything wrong about them. :\

[Mongoose]

I rather like them myself, though you do get a rather amusing effect in a mission like that one from Derelict where one is repeatedly getting disabled and repaired.

[Stormkeeper]

Rakshasa. I think it's very cool looking, even if it's not that powerful.

The Orion.

It still has no character in FS2...
