I'm always reading peoples comments about how they can see the wreck of the Hades in the intro movie of Freespace 2.  I have personally watched this too many times to count on YouTube and all I can see is the wreck of what could be the GTD Legion.  Does anyone have a screenshot or a timecode so I could actually see it at all?
I reject your reality and substitute my own, hence my existance on the Galatea!

After the 'Freespace 2' title.

It's on the surface of the planet, with the dead pilot and his flickering hologram.

Just kidding.
I think that might have been Bosch's try at the Hades.

Uh, Bosch never did anything related to the Hades (unless he was in the attack on the Joutenheim). :wtf:

I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

I think I saw that in the FS2 tech description or the intelligence.
Besides the FSST's Hades was no where near a planet.

Is that really a Hades? It doesn't look similar at all, or any GTVA ship in fact.

That makes total sense of it. But if it was unfinished, why put it in a sequel that WAS finished? If you have the time to make a whole sequel, why bother leave a released expansion unfinished?
Fun while it lasted.

YOU HAVE PROBLEMS! I FLAMZ YOUS! RAWRZ!

be nice to the oblivious. For i am one of them. he is right about it not looking GTVA, as the hades is purple which is very different from terran or vasudan designs, cause it was made from shivan parts.

Then again, it does look like a hades, even to me.
Fun while it lasted.

Nope.... I still don't see the resemblance. Are you sure it's not a Cain, Lilth, or something? It just looks like 3 tubes sticking out the dirt.

 
have you seen a hades before? remember the four engines?
Fun while it lasted.

Ive always thought that the character you play as in Silent Threat was a young Aken Bosch. and that is distinctly a Hades...Now whether it it the GTI Original or a failed GTVA attempt to rebuild it, it is up to your own belief

IMHO, actual gameplay takes precedence over cutscenes in regards to canonity. IIRC the cutscenes were made by interplay, not volition. Or at least that one was.

 
guess that makes sense?

Look again. The Hades is definitely blue. It's even bluer than the Orion.
