Am I the only one her who wonders how the GTVA got such powerful weaponry in 32 years?
And why Alpha 1 is allowed to use it al just by being in the wing that destroyed a Ravana?
I liked FS1 so much better, in the missions like the one where you escort the Galatea through the asteroid feild, and there are shivans who cannot be seen on sensors... You can either chose to leave Alpha 2 to fight them, and you deal with the asteroids, which eventually pummel the ship to critical, or fight the bastards, and still have the ship go to critical, or worse...
I think that in FS2 they were more interested in giving you hella fast ships, and hella powerful weapons. They lost grasp of the integrity of the story...
The shivans were not super powerful death machines bent on destroying our homeworlds, like they were in FS1...
In FS1, they set traps, ambushes, and the like... They blew up cargo containers when the Elysiums docked to them... They made fake cargo dumps to lure us out into the open, and then smash us with teir hella powerful weaponry...
They had an bloodlust. They wanted us dead. And they stopped at nothing. Once the Lucifer was destroyed, they continued attacking. Like a chicken with it's head cut off, but they still attacked...(I read that somewhere... forget where tho)
I miss the days of the Avenger Cannon. The slow and not-so powerful ships. The futile fleeing from the shivan's dark grasp.
What happened to that? Huh?! What?! We get one dumbass in a custom ship, who opens a portal to 'Shivan infested space', like he knew for sure Shivans were there... And then he sends some stupid signal to them.
Then they kidnap him?! WTF? I mean c'mon... What the hell would they want with him? He was the G.W. Bush of the GTVA...(It'll happen soon, watch...)
And why would the shivans ignore us this time around? Us and our 'Flying Ray gun' the colossus... What a hunk of scrap that was... A waste of 20 years... If you ever want to blame the Vasudans for something, blame them for that... Stupid ship...
Koth was gonna ram it (Which would have killed it), but alpha 1 saves the day, and disables the sucker...(Or atleast I did) and I had to sit there for 20 minutes listening to the Coll tell it's decks to close off... I finally entered the cheat and killed the Orion, only because I got tired of sitting there...
What the... what the hell was the original subject of this topic anyway...?! Ah spoot! I went OT again... crap!
