all righty, let's play a trivia game. I ask a question. You answer. If I confirm your answer, you get to ask the question. And so on. Fun, aye?
So, let's start with something simple: What is the special natural condition of the Gamma Draconis system (compared to other FS inhabited systems)?
Oh, and I'll allow someone else to confirm this, time for me to go to sleep. :p
-
Ah, I like these threads. Too bad I have already asked my harder questions before around here. :D
It has no planets.
Here is mine: How many men escaped the NTC Alexandria before it was destroyed?
-
20 or something like that?
And if I'm right here's my question: "Who is the C.O. of the GVD Psamtik?"
Cor
-
Admiral Kahfre (s/p)
Q: What's the first thing that goes through a pilot's mind when he or she sees a Zephyrus?
-
Thank God I'm not flying that tub!
Q: What is the name of the Cain that triggers the Capella supernova?
-
The SC Nereid. (thanks, GW 2009!)
What was the :V: team originally planning on naming the Sathanas-class vessels?
-
Bob :P
Meh, I use to know that.
-
Dreadnoughts?
Or are you talking about the actual name of the ship?(ala, Ravan, Azreal, Lucifer)

SC Nereid? :wtf: The only Nereid ever mentioned was in the briefing for the last mission... the GTD Nereid, which collapsed the node from Vega to Capella.
The nova starts Resheph and Sesmu are either destroyed or departed, when libra has arrived, and 11 minutes and 50 seconds has elapsed. :doubt:
All you people need to play through the campaign again! Or at least look through FRED :p
-
Meh, I was close! 3 off ain't bad!
-
The SC Nereid
Nereid is the Destroyer that closes the Vega - Capella node supposedly..
lets make it so you can't confirm your own answers unless you have proof.

SJ Cockroach :D?
In the showdown (ha) between the Sathanas and the Phoenecia, how much of her crew does the destroyer's captain report losing?
-
Diablo?
-
No idea about the Sathanas one...
In the showdown (ha) between the Sathanas and the Phoenecia, how much of her crew does the destroyer's captain report losing?
25%
This I bet nobody will get unless they have seen the VBB quiz thread:
Where was the Hammer of Light headquarters situated during FS1?
-
Ah, time to get answering :D -
Sandwich: The Sathanas was originally named Apocalypse.
The HOL headquarters? I have no idea.
Anyway, my question is: What was the original name of the Galatea, before it was changed by :V:
-
HOL Headquarters
Hmm...this sounds like it might be a trick question. I would say it's in Altair, but I seem to remember that the HOL and the PVN were headquartered in the same system (oddly enough)...could it be Aldebaran?
Galatea
Ahhhh - I used to know this one. It's a familiar name... [wild guess] was it the Colossus?
EDIT: No wait a minute - the Repulse!
Here's my question :nervous::
What is the name of the Orion in the FS2 intro?
*runs away very very fast* :p
-
Well, it WASN'T the Galatea! :D
Q: What are the complete 'Sales Promo' stats for the Colossus?
-
er...company names, or the list of all the technology that is in it?
if that's the case...
"The Colossus is the most powerful space fareing warship ever constructed, spanning 6000 metres from bow to stern, it has taken 20 years to complete. It's state of the art weaponry include: 45 laser turrets, 15 flak guns, 12 missile batteries, and 12 beam cannons. The Colossus has more fire power that 5 Orion class destroyers combined. 60 fighter and bomber wings are housed in it's vast hanger, and it's crew numbers 30,000. Some of the major contractors are, Triton Dynamics, Subach Imes, and the Akhteton Corporation. The Alliance now wages war across mutiple front, in Deneb, Alpha Centari, Epsilon Pegasi and the mysterious nebula beyond Gamma Draconis. Once deployed, the Colossus will end these conflicts swiftly and decicively, if ever the shivans were to return, we would be read for them, securing peace for today, and for generations to come..."
Close enough ;)

2360. Don't bother confirming, rechecked it from the Ships.tbl.

Hmm, then if you mean only Vega then we're both wrong, because in the mission "Their Finest Hour", every thing was fought at Gamma Draconis, and I doubt anything could be more massive than that Sathanas, so... :p
(note: you have to look at it this way: the bastion was well on its way to the node by the time "Their Finest Hour" started)
I guess there would be a fight at Vega too, but no mention of a Sathanas there... oh well. :doubt:

Or something like that... I know I'm wrong do I'm not gonna post a question.
-
Oopsy - I forgot to post a question. :)
Which squadron leader shares his voice with Admiral Khafre and the Aquitaine comm officer?
I think this is more or less the description, but I may have bludgeoned it a bit:
Har! The FS2 Volition Bravos is the scurviest ship in the universe! Lower your planks, furl your sails, and prepare to be boarded by the Freespace 2 team!
And a second question. :)
In Silent Threat, what are the names of the two Orions in the mission where you recover the escape pods? (Not the one with the Krios; the mission after that.)
And the Orion in the FS2 intro was the GTD Legion. I answer my own question, so I get to replace it with yet another. :p Name all the systems referenced in FS1 that are not on the official Volition node map. ;7
-
A1: Lt. Cmd. Cordova
A2: GTD ???(doesn't say in the mission, it just says "GTD" ), and the GTD Myrmidon.
someone else ask a question
(And to tell ya about the colossus question, I know almost the entire cutscene off by heart :D)

A) Talania, Rexias, and Gulnara.
1) What jump node is (indirectly) mentioned numerous times in the first 10 missions of FS1, but never shown on the nodemap?
2) On the original nodemap in FS1 (i.e. the cbani version), Sol had three nodes. Where did each one lead to?
-

Delta Serpentis
Beta Aquilae
Deneb
or its:
Delta Serp
Beta Aquil
Alpha Centari
-
yep, its DS, BA, and Deneb. Good memory.
Now how about my 1st question? :D
-
is it Betelgeuse? I remember it talked about that system alot in the beginning of the camp.
[edit] or Antares "Operation Thresher in the Antares system..."

Ah, I know this one well: :D
Harr! The FS2 Volition Bravos is the scurviest ship in the known universe. Furl yer sails, strike yer colors and prepare to boarded by the FreeSpace 2 team!
Possibly a word or two off, but I think it is about right. :D
I'm not really sure about the FS1 jumpnode one, so I will let someone else get that.
BTW if nobody can get the answer after a while, should we just post it? (I don't think anyone but a total FS nut can get the exact answer to that HOL one :D)
-
Yes, enlighten us with the HOL (no pun intended). :) I gave the answer to my own GTD Legion question.
Here's an additional question: Name all the squadrons (numbers plus names, if named) that you fly in in FS2, in order, without looking them up if possible. :)

"The following is classified Level Rho. Unauthorised access is punishable under the GTVA Security Act, Deneb Convention, section 12, 3, 5.
We vanquished the Shivans in the Great War but the hard questions still remain. How would confront the threat of future invasion? How would we fight for the very existence of our species?
In 2345, on the tenth anniversary of the Shivan attack on Ross 128, the Vasudan Emperor, Khonsu II addressed the newly formed GTVA General Assembly. The Emperor initiated a bold and unprecedented joint endeavour - the GTVA Colussus.
*Vasudan* Together we've built a civilization on the ruins of the Great War and now we stand on the threshold of a new era of harmony and prosperity. With Project Colossus the Vasudan people celebrate a new period of co-operation and mutual defense with our Terran Allies.
The Colossus is the most powerful space-faring warship ever constructed. Spanning six kilometres from bow to stern, the Colossus has taken over twenty years to complete. Twelve Lucifer-class Destroyers can fit within its massive hull. Its state of the art weaponry includes: Forty-five laser turrets, fifteen flak guns, twelve missile batteries, and twelve beam cannons. The Colossus wields more firepower than five Orion-class destroyers combined. Sixty fighter and bomber wings are housed within its vast hangar, and the crew numbers nearly 30,000. Amongst its major contractors are industy giants Triton Dynamics, Subach Innes and the Akheton Corporation.
Currently the Alliance faces threats on multiple fronts in Deneb, Alpha Centauri, Epsilon Pegasi and the mysterious nebula beyond Gamma Draconis. Once deployed the Colossus will end these conflicts swiftly and decisively. If ever the Shivans return to threaten our worlds we will be ready to face the challenge securing peace for today, and for generations to come."
Okay, I'm a Geek! :D
Name all the squadrons (numbers plus names, if named) that you fly in in FS2, in order, without looking them up if possible.
Uh........I'm probably going to get this wrong but:
- 107th Hammerheads
- 242nd Suicide Kings
- Something here (NTF squadron)
- something else here (TacEval squadron)
- and here (Vasudan Squadrons)
- 99th Skulls (techinically for the second loop as it's SOC's own squadron)
- 170th Blue Lions

Here's a nice question: What happened to Zeta Squadron in the Nebula?
-
Most of the time, Zeta wing gets killed defending the Trinity. I don't suppose you're thinking of Kappa, are you?
Q: List each medal in the order in which you get them (for those medals handed out twice, list each chance you have of getting them)
And if that's too easy for you, try telling us the requirment for each medal. Or try it for FS1 :D

-
Cookie monster's dead. Forget about him.

Here is the answer to that HOL one: the HOL command post was located inside the ruins of a large temple-like structure on Altair V which is thought to have been constructed by the Ancients.
Name all the squadrons (numbers plus names, if named) that you fly in in FS2, in order, without looking them up if possible.
53rd Hammerheads
107th Ravens
242nd Suicide Kings
185th (NTF squad)
134th Barracudas
64th Raptors
203rd (vasudan)
99th Skulls (SOC squad)
70th Blue Lions
Q: In what mission is the Kayser first seen (note, this is a trick question)
The loop1-2.fs2 mission, "Love the treason..." (the 99th pilots use it)
gimme a cookie... :D
[edit] oh wait, just thought of an earlier occurence. The Kayser has been around for a long time in testing and is even available in all of the Operation Templar missions.

Technically the loop1-2.fs2 is correct, because Templar is a MP campaign, and therefore doesn't count.

Fill in the blanks, ladies! :D

The HoL's base of operations in FS1 was Altair. (Check the PVF Thoth info if you dont believe me, its also where the PVD Anvil was destroyed.)
Is everyone stumped as to my question? Here it is again:
1) What jump node is (indirectly) mentioned numerous times in the first 10 missions of FS1, but never shown on any incarnation of the nodemap?
-

I dunno. The Vega\Antares node? the vega\deneb node?
I give up.
-
I dunno too, the Ross 128 - Shivan Space node?
-
Gamma Dranois/Capella?
-
the only one that was remotely close was R128-Shivan, but that isn't mentioned in the first 10 missions of FS1. (good try tho.)
All the rest of them are on the nodemap, except Vega-Antares, which never existed. (The one where the Lucifer skipped over the blockade was Ribos-Vega, but that doesn't count because only Shivans could use it.)
Here's a clue, since you all seem to be stumped.
"The Antares-Beta Cygni jump node lies in the center of a dense asteroid field, making it one of the least-used jump nodes in the galaxy. Standard procedure would have us circumvent this node completely, requiring two jumps. Now we have no choice."
(And no, the answer is not the Antares-BC node.)
-
The only other node to Beta Cygni is from Betelgeuse. And Betelgeuse can only be accessed by Beta Cygni. The only node to Beta Cygni is from Antares. Though maybe it is from Ribos.
EDIT: I wasn't paying attention to the fs1 part.
-
All right, we're too hung up on this one. Let's start adding new questions until Mad Bomber gives us the answer. :)
What's the name of the cruiser that's on the comm officer's screen in the FS1 intro?
In the FS2 intro, after the Medusa gets blown up by a missle, the camera shifts and you can see several Shivan fighters zip by at a high rate of speed. What class are they? :D
Post the entire coded transmission sent by Lt. Cmdr. Snipes in the second SOC loop. Bonus points if you name the codec. :)
Name the three systems seized by the NTF, and the three systems contested at the start of FS2. Also name the three systems accessible from Capella.
What is the name of the Shivan wing (not Arjuna) that spots you as you head toward the Lucifer's docking bay in Playing Judas?
What's the name of the cruiser that's supposed to help you protect the Bastion in Clash of the Titans but never shows up? (kind of a trick question)
That ought to jump start things. :D
-
I think I can answer some of those:
Post the entire coded transmission sent by Lt. Cmdr. Snipes in the second SOC loop. Bonus points if you name the codec. :)
Granite Mountain, this is Black Dove requesting immediate extraction. Engines and jump drives are inoperative. Location Delta 429 by 372. Deployed Pharos beacons to assist search. Heavy Shivan presence. Severe nebula storms. Probability of survival not good...
Codec: JLS 5.97
(I memorized this one completely, and I gave the codec as a question before myself, I gotta know that :D)
Name the three systems seized by the NTF, and the three systems contested at the start of FS2. Also name the three systems accessible from Capella.
NTF systems: Polaris, Regulus, Sirius
Conflicted systems: Alpha Centauri, Deneb, Epsilon Pegasi
Capella nodes: Epsilon Pegasi, Gamma Draconis, Vega
What is the name of the Shivan wing (not Arjuna) that spots you as you head toward the Lucifer's docking bay in Playing Judas?

Thats easy: Manticore and or Scorpien (it says fighters so...)
Q: What gives Commander Snipes the "creeps"?
"What's the name of the cruiser that's on the comm officer's screen in the FS1 intro?"

All the rest of them are on the nodemap, except Vega-Antares, which never existed. (The one where the Lucifer skipped over the blockade was Ribos-Vega, but that doesn't count because only Shivans could use it.)
Here's a clue, since you all seem to be stumped.
"The Antares-Beta Cygni jump node lies in the center of a dense asteroid field, making it one of the least-used jump nodes in the galaxy. Standard procedure would have us circumvent this node completely, requiring two jumps. Now we have no choice."
(And no, the answer is not the Antares-BC node.)
The Antares-Ribos Node...
"Welcome to the Bastion pilot, we just recived word the Galetae has safely reached Antares...The shivans have a base of operations in the Ikeya system..."
So, it Had to be the Antares-Ribos node...

MTD Auriga. :D
Some of my questions are still unanswered. :)

I think we need another question or two here: :D
In one of the FS2 missions, you are told buring briefing that a certain capital ship will arrive to provide fire support but in thye mission a different one comes instead. What mission is this and what are the names of the ships?
What power reactor does the Ares operate on?

The GVCv Sopedu is intended to arrive, but the Thutmose arrives instead.
Can I have a cookie?
Oh yeah, a *few* questions...
1) How many total Orions are mention in Freespace 2 *name if possible*?
2) What is the name of the vessel intended to help you at the Capella node in SM-301? *hint: it didn't stick around too long*
3) What did the first, second, and third waves of convoys consist of in the final mission (according to Allied Command)? Also, name the Terran/Vasudan warships that either provide fire support or escort convoys.
4) Name the three Aeolus cruisers in Clash of the Titans II.
5) Triton Dynamics, Subach Imes, and the Akheton Corporation are mentioned in the Colossus cutscene. Name as many other corporations and contractors listed in the cutscene (behind the TD, SI, and AC names).
6) (this is true or false. hey, need some variety) T or F: The 53rd Hammerheads, the 107th Ravens, and the 242nd are all Great War-era squadrons?
7) Freespace 2 starts and ends in what system?
8) Name two corporations who have weapons named after them and one that has a ship named after it.
9) The first Hatshepsut was released in what year?
10) What year, anniversary, and Vasudan announced the construction of the Colossus (write his speech if possible)?
11) T or F: The Great War lasted from 2335-2336.
12) If the Great War ended the 14-year T-V War in 2335, when did the T-V War begin? [/p1mpage]
13) T or F: The GVB Sekhmet was designed with Shivan technologies in mind.
14) Beam weapons were designed to defeat what vessel (its Shivan)?
15) The GVD Psamtik was destroyed in the nebula while at the gate of the 2nd Knossos. What destroyed it? *if you want, write out the conversation going on between Command and the Psamtik during the encounter*
-
anyone mind if I convert this thread into an IRC trivia game? :D (that is, use the questions here for IRC)
-
I can answer some (spellings will be wrong in many cases)
1) Carthage
Bastion
Messana
Nerdie (the one's that's going to collasp the Vega node.
Galatea metioned a few times
Repulse
Vinidcator
there's some more but I can't remember them.
2) Phenisca (Hecate class destroyer)
3) Medical ships and transports. Lemnos was the Deimos, pass on the ships providing support although one was a Mentu-class cruiser.
4) Malta, Ertinax, Templar
5) Pass.
6) Hammarheads involved in the destroyion of the Lucifier
Kings helped capure McCarthy
Ravens...uh can't remember, but I'll still say: True
7) Starts in Deneb, ends in Capella
8) Akaton, Subach and Mechuah (the Vasudan Subach).
9) Guess: 2355
10) '10th Annervisary of the Shiavn attack on Ross 128' 'Together we built a civilisation from the ruin of the Great War and we stand on the verge of prosperity and harmony. With the *somethinbg* Collouse we celabrate our renewed providence and mutural defence of our Terran allies.'
11) False. 'by the end of 2335, the Great War was over' - Techroom database.
12) 2321 (14 years before 2335)
13 True. It was based on a HOL design which in turn was based Shivan design. (Anyone notice that it looks, from above like a Nahema - although these were never encountered in the Great War.)
14) Lucifier probably.
15) Sathanas number 2!
My turn: What's odd about both the Comms officer of Rivera Installation and the guy of give the cutscene briefing about the Taranis in FS1?
-
8.
- subach
- akethon
- ?
anyway, another question:
what`s the explosive power (in kilo/mega tons tnt) of a helios?
bonus: howmany times hiroshima is that?

Triton Dynamics
9) The first Hatshepsut was released in what year?

I can't say the speech, but it was the 10th anniversary of the Shivan attack on Ross 128, thus 2345, and he was Khonsu the Secodn.
11) T or F: The Great War lasted from 2335-2336.
False. 2335 only.

Here is a copy of a post I made here many months ago:
I was looking through some of the command briefing and tech room animations and found at least 15 new corporation names that I did not know of before; I have not heard these anywhere, so I am guessing that some are not known in the community yet. If you look in the credits, it can be seen that almost all of them correspond to the last names of Volition staff. (there are a lot more than the known Baranec one)
Akheton Corporation
Agay Fluctuators
Baranec Acquisitions
Bessmer-Kohn
Comet Propulsion Systems
Capezzuto Textiles

Enricco Ergonomic Systems
Gulisano Precision Gear
Han-Ronald Corporation
Hoffoss Ballistics (not quite sure on this one)

You forgot the Galatea!!! Ok, so she was destroyed 32 years before FS2, but she was in at least one cutscene. If you don't want to count the Colossus scene, though, that is understandable. But who could forget the prestegious Order of Galatea...
Admiral Petrarch
For saving a capital ship of the GTVA from immanent destruction, you are hereby awarded the Order of Galatea

No, the Pinnacle is part of the PVN. Try again.

I'm going to take a stab in the dark, but is it a part of the HEADZ animation?
-
nope, sorry :D
I posted a topic about it here a really long time ago when I first found out about this, if anyone remembers it...
-
It's the FS1 options screen. You can see it in the hi-res render of the science cutscene.
Here's a tricky one. What is the only standard FS2 primary the Erinyes cannot carry? And that's not counting the dogfight versions, Shivan or turret weapons...
-
Mekhu HL-7?
-
It is the Mekhu, all right, but that's a trick question. As a terran fighter, it should not be able to carry a weapon modified to work optimally with Vasudan power grids. No Terran ship is supposed to use the Mekhu, and no Vasudan fighter is supposed to use the Subach.
-
Close enough; it's the control config screen. :D
For the next question, I am also pretty sure it's the Mekhu HL-7 from a purely technical point of view.
-
I have done the test, the Erinyes can carry any unique weapon (thus excluding dogfight variants) except the Mekhu. So, it's Shiva Archon's ball.
But until he posts that, what hull strength must the Bastion maintain in Clash of the Titans (FS1) in order for the mission to be a success?
-
1% :p
For it to be a complete success, the hull should be above 35%. But that's a secondary objective. :)
Someone finish answering my question! :mad2: :)
-
I'll guess the Prophecy, though I couldn't actually find where it was destroyed. It's assumed at the end of the next to last mission. As for clash of the titans, you do fail the mission if the bastion gets too weak, and it isn't 1%. Of course, the Demon tends to blow up just as the Bastion is broadsiding it, so for me if the Bastion isn't over 35% she is dead from the explosion and collision with debris. Not that it would matter, it doesn't actually play a part in the remaining missions.
-
Couldn't be the anvil, could it?
Ptah.
-
what HOL destroyer was destroyed twice?
i'd say probably the Anvil? perhaps? cause it was destroyed in single and multiplayer :)
-
Yes, the Anvil. :nod:
I don't know about multiplayer, but you can destroy it in two singleplayer missions: 2-4 and 3-6 (sorry, don't have the names at the moment).

EDIT: To answer your question Stunaep:
Break-warp stops you from exiting subspace, but that can be fixed with a Support Ship.
Never-warp can be altered only by Allow-warp

OK, i'm joining the trivia after answering the previous question:
- What are the two modes of subspace travel,

good luck answering... ;)

The two types and differences:
Inter-system jump- between star systems
Intra-system jump- within a starsystem
Who invented them - Prof. Whiteside.

very good! nice use of the Freespace Bible i'm guessing, since i don't know anyone that knows that offhand except for myself :)
now it's your turn to make a question :) go for it!

well, im not one to leave people guessing (well maybe)

GTD Messana
GTD Delacroix (guess)
NTD Jacobus
NTD Andronicus
NTD Vasa
NTD Uhuru
NTD Cyrene
NTD Vindicator
2. The GTD Phoenicia (Sathanas either wastes it or it jumps out due to low hull integrity)
3. 1st Wave: Four frieghters, one gas mine, and a transport. Protected by the GVC Ptah-Nu and the GTCv Lemnos
2nd Wave: A science vessel and two medical ships. The GTC Zollner was assigned to escort them. Several freighters came in later.
3rd: Two medical ships and four troop transports. The GTC Sparta covered them.
4. The GTC Malta, Ertanax, and Templar
5. I don't even want to go there.... lets just say CP named em
6. False. The 107th was never introduced as a Great-War era squadron.
7. Vega (if you survive)
8. (made a mess up here) Akheton Corp, Subach Imes, Mekhu Enterprises all have weapons named after them. Triton Dynamics has the GTFr Triton carrying its name.
9. The first Hatshepsut was released in 2360, boasting the newest beam weaponry.
10. In 2335, on the 10th anniversary of the Shivan attack on Ross 128, the Vasudan Emperor Khonsu II addressed the GTVA General Assembly. The Emperor inaugurated an ambitious and unprecedented joint endeavor: the GTVA Colossus.
11. False. The Great War barely lasted 8-9 months.
12. The T-V War began in 2323.
13. True.
14. Beam weapons were specifically designed to destroy the Lucifer.
15. The 2nd Sathanas.
"Command, we are detecting an incoming jump signature through the subspace portal."
"What is it, Psamtik? Can you identify?"
"Affirmative. Sathanas configuration. Repeat, Sathanas configuration!"
"That's impossible, Psamtik!"
"The Sathanas has opened fire! We are sustaining massive hull damage!"
"Psamtik, get out of there, NOW! We're pulling you out!"
"Jump drive inoperative! All systems comprimised! Catastrophic hull failure imminent!"
"Psamtik, do you copy? Come in Psamtik! This is Allied Command, do you read me? (just how we like to hear Command, poor and helpless :D )"

Since no one has asked a question, tell me the name of the GTI transport that captures the Rasputin in FS1
-
It's either the GTT Spomer (something like that) the GTT Comet. I think it's the first, the second being the one that picks up the capured Dragon in 'Enter the Dragon', but it could be the other way around.
The answer to my question of long ago (what was odd about the Comm officer of Rivera Installtion and the bloke who give the cutscene briefing about the Taranus?)
The answer is there name tags both show the same name (which I can't remember off hand). Methinks V used the same body model for both people.
-
GTT Comet?
-
Here's a hard one:
You know that GTD for example stands for: Galatic Terran Destroyer, or GTC for Galactic Terran Cruiser but what stands GTVA for according to the Colossus.
-
I guess it is just Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance, since although it was a military vessel, it carried far more symbolic meaning to the people than the other ships. They could have called it GTVD or GTVJ, but I guess GTVA sounds a bit cooler. But its current designation makes it sound like Galactic Terran-Vasudan AWACS. :p :D
On a side note, has anyone noticed that the Rahu has the incorrect designation of SSG, where it should be SG? Probably a typo or something...
-
everyone interested in ship designations, click the "S" under my name or follow this link: http://www.stealth.mirrorz.com and click on "information" then "ship designations"
-
I don't know it myself but maybe it stands for Galatic Terran Vasudan Anhilator or something like that :D
-
Aboard the GTD Goober, orbiting Echelon IV...
Captain: What happen?
Officer: Someone set up us a newbie!
Captain: Main beam turn on!

i followed you link and
GTVA: GALACTIC TERRAN VASUDAN AWACS ?
there is no such thing.
hmm, should be GTA galactic terran awacs, since you miss that one.
GV´s are vasudan build
GV´s are terran build
so GTV´s must be ships built in joint effort as the collosus, which should really have been called GTVJ, which would mean Galactic Terran Vasudan juggernaut.
but someone at V forgot to think about the games terminology when they gave it a class abrrivation
so that GTVA simply would mean Galactic Terran Vasudan Alliance
but then again, only we, "the fs2 nerds" care :D.

The transport was part of a wing. GT Intelligence 1 arrived with a Valkyrie as escort, GT Intelligence 2 .
-
And the Valkyrie had a Prometheus for some reason. I remember now.
Here's one. In Clash of the Titans II, all sorts of Shivan bombers were thrown at you; except one. That one class you didn't fight was shown in the Bastion Dies cutscene! What was it?
-
Taurvi or what ever you spell it.
My turn!
Name the planet where the ancients "bunker" was discovered(the place where the GTA found out how to defeat the Lucifer)
or if that's too easy, name ALL the ships(capships) that get destroyed in FS2( ;) ;7 I'm EVIL I know :devil: )

Altair for the first one.
-
You know how many of them there are? :p Read this: http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/procyon/fs2csd.rtf :D

Exits are to the right and left and flamethrowers are under your seat. Make sure to keep some food on you at all times - the Shivans are pretty hungry around here. Better your lunch than you. ;)
Always a pleasure to see new faces here. Echelon IV, please make yourself at home. :)
Ah yes... we need this too...
Whatever you do, don't go near the airvents and if you see some black, spiney, penatlimbed things near the airvents, RUN LIKE HECK!!

:wtf: Who are you talking to?
And the question: it was Apocalypse and Armageddon, I believe. Not sure on the second, though, so I'll wait for confirmation.

Echelon IV. :)

Yes for Apocalypse, no for Armageddon. Hint: Look in the source code. :)

Note: If someone asked the question asked below, don't throw tomatoes at me.
Question: According to Lt. Snipes, what is his description of taking care of enemy units after activating the fail-safes on the NTF fighters in the second SOC NTF mission?
-
Not fail-safes...sabotage. Good question - I don't think it has been asked. The answer is "sterilizing".
The answer to my question is Beast. :) So I'll ask another...
What are the names of the cruisers in the second FS2 demo mission? ;)
-

Sorry, it's "sanitizing". :p

Cruisers only? Then its the GTC Adamant and the SC Armaros.
If you mean the two cruisers and the corvette, its the GTC Adamant, SC Armaros, and the SCv Balam.
Now its my turn ;)
What three things does the Colossus complain about in High Noon (Sathanas vs. Colossus mission)?
Hehehe.... i'm evil :D
-

It's more than three:
"Heat sinks were not made for this kind of abuse, Command! We'll ment down our cannons if we push any harder."
"Colossus here. We have sustained moderate damage. Hull breach on forward decks 140 through 200. Damage control report auxiliary systems compromised."
"Command, this is the Colossus. Hull integrity dropping. Multiple systems approaching critical. Casualty rate escalating."
"Colossus here! Our hull will not sustain another salvo! We must withdraw immediately, Command!"
"Secondary and tertiary reactors are down! Fire control is on the verge of redline! We're giving it all we got!"
-
What model has the highest polycount and number of subobjects in Freespace 2?
-
NTF Boadacea. 1741 polies, 1490 verts, and 87 submodels. Nasty.
-
That's exactly right. Not as many polies in LOD0 as the colossus, but more in the lower LODs. And it's got a ship inside and 16 multi-LOD subobjects, so it really pushes the engine to the max. And it was only used in one mission.
-

Eh, does it really? I always assumed that the Iceni effect in that mission was accomplished by simply placing the Boadicea and the Iceni at the same coordinates. When the Boadicea was destroyed, the Iceni was left.
Kind of like what happens at the end of the ST:Voyager episode "Deadlock", if you've seen it. :)

nope there is a ship inside, all what is outside("the asteroid") is set to be subsystems of this this ship, and some events trigger theire destruction. check from fred2
-
Also notice that when the Iceni warps out, the blue 'warp node' is considerably larger than when the Iceni warps out in following missions. That's because size of the warp node is calculated based on the width/height of the model.
-
Very interesting. I shall have to take a look. :)
-
Anyway, next ques...
What do the names of the Shivan destroyers from Derelict have in common (Nyarlathotep, Cthon, Azathoth)?
-
all are gods? a wild guess.
-

Too easy: all are deities created by H.P.Lovecraft in his collection of novels and essays today referred as Cthulhu books.
-
and your question mister would be...
pending his reply, answer me this:
in more than one occasions, the Deimos class corvette is incorrectly referred to as...?
talking about FS2 main campaign here, yes.
-
Cruiser? :confused: (GTC instead of GTCv kekekeke)
Question: How many Typhons there were left in operational use in the beginning of FS2?
-
To quote the tech description, " Though a handful of modified Typhons remain in service"
I can't remember it ever having been mentioned. I know that you see one in game.
-
Nm. 8 is mentioned somewhere (sources? what are them)
StratComm, ask.
-
Deimos class corvette is incorrectly referred to as...?
talking about FS2 main campaign here, yes.
The 'GTCv Monitor' is called the 'GTA Monitor' in the briefing for 'Endgame'.
-
Due to the extreme yeild of the Harbringer bomb, what was the maximum number allowed on one ship at any given time in FS1?
-
Six? Two in each Ursa secondary bank, I believe.
I guess Boanerges pilots need special permission, then, as they can carry eight (I believe.)
-
Six is right :nod:, and the Boanerges wasn't around when that cap was in place. It's in the tech description for them though (or maybe it's the command briefing, whatever) so I figured that it was fair game. Next question!
-
The Deimos class corvette is occasionally referred to instead of "GTCv" as "GTC"
Ex: We're deploying Delta wing and the GTC Diomedes to assist. Standby. (The Sicilian Defense)
"This is the GTC Parapet. We have orders to blockade the Capella jump node and we must not leave our position..."
All NTF corvettes (with the exception of the Amakuni from Rebel Intercept) are all designated "NTCv"
-
I guess it's my turn, then.
What do all the new bombers for FS2 have in common?
-
Lack of turret, perhaps - was going to ask that.
-
They all have incredible amounts of speed (for bombers)
-

all of you who answered something like that were correct.
as for the question, none of them have turrets.
-
Correct, no turrets. For the record, in FS1, the heavy Terran bombers had one turret each, the Vasudans had two, and the Shivans had four.
Jacc, you're at bat. What's the question?
-
What do all the new bombers for FS2 have in common?
They don't look as good as the FS1 ones! :D
-
God damnit, again..
Easy one here: What does the name Rakshasa mean and what is it?
-
Rakshasa was a humanoid tiger-demon from Hindu mythology.
Can't think beyond there...
w00t! 300 POSTS! [/size]

The rakshasa is a character from the Lion King! :D
What is the difference between the Artemis and the D.H?

The D.H is a version with a modified engine that gives it better maneuverability and speed, with virtually unchanged armor and loadout (and a sexier texture too :D)
Now my ques:
Which corporation produced the original Hercules? Which one now produces the Herc II?

heh... look at the manufacturers for both
-
Without looking...I believe Han-Ronald for the original. I forget who made the Herc II though.
So that's not a full answer. :)
-
Han-Ronald made almost everything Terran in FS1. (except for Athena and Zeus, I think) The Hercules II is made by RNI; I have memorized all this corporation stuff completely. :D
-
What is the difference between the Artemis and the D.H?
In modifiyed FS2 isn't the answer nothing save the textures?
-
Well done, I see you must read the tbls a lot.

All right....
GTF Hercules: Manufactured by Triton Dynamics
GTF Hercules Mark II: Manufactured by RNI Systems!
