Feint! Parry! Reposite! as well as Return to Babel were both excellent in my not so humble opinion.

I still remember the Iceni within the nebula...

But before I get down to doing it, what kind of ships are you looking for? What races? Or I decide?

Thanks!

Simple enough, would be GTVA vs. Shivans. Give the player at least 2 fighter wings, with another 2 in reinforcements - as for enemy forces, your guess is as good as mine

Okay, Setekh. The mission is done. Not quite your "Battle of Endor" mission but I think it should be enough of a fight for you on, say, Insane?

I've sent it to your email address. I'm emailing it on Volition Watch Archives as well.

If you hadn't asked for it, I don't think I'lll touch FRED2. Hehehe....

Fav mission = Slaying Ravana...

Reason?  i dont really like the mission, but i like the briefing...  it uses the FS2Credits2 music & ive altered that for TM needs...  Samsa's voice sounds SO cool against it...

Least Fav = the Hammerhead missions...

ok, so they were beginner missions, but FS1 beginner missions were harder due to the lack of shields, hence they were more exciting...  The Hammerhead missions were jsut plot builders...  there was no 'real' substance...  maybe utilising the Myrmidons REAL S.S. abilities & conducitng a Helios strike on a destroyer or sumin...

im rambling

ME!!

The myrmadon is one of my absolute favorite fighters. It can do ANYTHING. I'll dogfight a wing of dragons then procede to do heavy dammage to a Corvet, then head off to intercept a bomber flight attacking my carrier.
I fly the Myrmadon all the way through the game, for the last two missions it's the only ship for me.
Another ship that gets picked on is the Ptah. In the one mission you get a chance to fly it (distruction of the knossos) it's the absolute best for taking on wing after wing of Mara's alone.

The GTF Myrmidon is not a bad fighter overall. It is a Space Superiority Fighter after all.

It all depends on each person's preference. Some might like hard hitting fighters and go for maybe the GTF Hercules Mark 2 Heavy Assault Fighter or the GTF Erinyes Heavy Assault Fighter. Others may like speed over firepower and go with the GTF Perseus Interceptor.

For me, I like the GTF Erinyes Heavy Assault Fighter. Load it with UD-8 Kaysers, Maxims, Harpoons and Tornadoes and you got one fighter which can dish out as much as it can take. I believe it can do even better in the right hands.

If I have a choice I'd chose an interceptor. Heavy assault fighters are to slow, and I just never liked the Myrmidon or the Ulysses(spelling?). Give me speed and manuverability anyday, and I'll run fighter cover for you all day.

I personally prefer heavy assault. Yes, they are slower and less maneuvrable, but when flying intercept in a Perseus, Serapis or Ulysses, I really have to keep on my toes - especially on Insane, where the AI gangs up on you. A volley of double Harpoons will take off a good chunk of an Interceptors' hull, and you can forget about getting anywhere near a cruiser or corvette, as the AAA will tear you apart. I'd rather be able to do some serious damage  

But you know, kudos to Volition for balancing the Interceptors and Heavy Assault player ships so that both are very usable.

I too prefer heavy assault. I really dislike interceptors, because they never have enough primary weapons. That's why I like the Erinyes and Ares so much. If more speed is needed, I just take out a Myrmidon. It's almost as fast as an interceptor, and has more primary weapon power.

Myrmidon would be a super ship if it had some more shielding and hull

I like NeoHunter's Tormentor mission. Needs more Shivans, though.

I perfer the heavy assault fighters to interceptors because heavy assault fighters actually have some real armerments and real protection as compared to an interceptor, which has speed (which the 2nd generation interceptors can be outran by a Nahema bomber!), but not enough protection and firepower to really get the job done!

my no. 1 reason for hating it!

the shields just cave in if you sneeze on them & the hull is made of recycled Daikatana CD's (like the game itself...very weak  )
