Title: Freespace trivia
Post by: Joey_21 on May 21, 2003, 07:15:46 pm
I was searching through past threads for the trivia that was posted near the end of last year but I think it somehow got deleted because I couldn't find it.

You know the rules: Post a question only if you have answered the previous one correctly and post only questions that you are sure that you know the answer to.

I'll start us off with this one: Which two cains appear in the last FS2 main campaign mission?

The Melchom, and the Bane.

Who was taken away by Shivans, along with Bosch.

Post by: CP5670 on May 21, 2003, 09:00:23 pm
"...Gibson and Sarno and about a dozen others." :D

well I can't think of anything good so I will just throw in a simple one: what GTVA fleets/battle groups reclaimed Sirius from the NTF?
Title: Freespace trivia
Post by: Exarch on May 21, 2003, 10:39:17 pm
13th Vasudan Battle Group.

What were the names of the 3 cruisers escorting the Bastion as it approached the Epsilon Pegasi node?
Title: Freespace trivia
Post by: CP5670 on May 21, 2003, 11:16:11 pm
Actually there were two fleets there; you got one right, so any guesses at the other one? :D

anyway, Ertanax, Malta and Templar, all of which were of the Aeolus class.

No one else have a question?

How many ground troops were landed on Cygnus Prime, after the first mission?
Title: Freespace trivia
Post by: Stunaep on May 22, 2003, 11:43:20 am
250 000?

What keyboard keys allow the Mara to strafe?
Title: Freespace trivia
Post by: CP5670 on May 22, 2003, 12:06:09 pm
well since nobody seems to be getting it, it is the 11th Vasudan battle group. come on, you people should know your FS facts cold. :D

Petrarch: 600000 I think.

Stunaep: The keys are 1, 3, + and - on the numeric keypad by default (although fs2_open can change them).

as for my question, how many vasudans can be seen through the windows of the Ra escape pod? (including the one in the back :D)

It's really not that hard.

I'll give you a clue, it's off the West Coast, about level with Glasgow.

If you want to cheat: Look here (http://www.multimaps.com/map/browse.cgi?X=220000&Y=655000&width=500&height=300&client=public&gride=&gridn=&srec=0&coordsys=gb&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&scale=100000&left.x=10&left.y=4)

Title: Freespace trivia
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on May 22, 2003, 01:36:19 pm
An army of stupid cattle?

Presuming I'm right, what household object is the Aeolus design based on?
Title: Freespace trivia
Post by: Exarch on May 22, 2003, 01:45:55 pm
Guessing that would be Isle of Islay maybe? Was there once, fits with the location at least, and shape sort of too. And the Aeolus design has got to be based on a hand-held vacuum cleaner :D

If I'm right: What's so special about Zenith (SC Lilith), compared to all other capital ships in the FS1 main campaign?
Title: Freespace trivia
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on May 22, 2003, 01:48:14 pm
It's name is pronounced wrongly. "zeeenith" as opposed to the correct "Zennith"?

I don't know.

And the Aten is the Great Cumbrae Island, as teabag said.
Title: Freespace trivia
Post by: Nuclear1 on May 22, 2003, 05:03:56 pm
I think it might be because the name is not "Zenith" but "The Zenith".

If I'm right: What was the name of the Shivan Lucifer from Derelict? *evil*

Title: Freespace trivia
Post by: CP5670 on May 24, 2003, 09:12:19 pm
Aside from the stuff already mentioned, the only things I can think of are that the tiny flak bolts that come out of them look silly in comparison with their huge barrel size and that Volition accidentally switched the strength values in the table for two of the turrets, making the rearmost big turret really weak and some other "normal" turret really strong.

Title: Freespace trivia
Post by: CP5670 on May 25, 2003, 12:33:56 pm
That isn't at all unique to the Hecate and Iceni though; many other ships in the game have turrets that seem to be totally randomly numbered.

3. Name the first cap-ship destroyed in the FS2 Campaign (in game not breifings)

Post by: Garfield3d on June 16, 2003, 09:34:00 pm
This might just be me, but are corvettes and crusiers considered capital ships? I had always considered capital ships to be the carriers and the large ships of a fleet that launched crafts, which in this case, would be a Hectates, Typhons, Orions, and Hatshepsuts of the GTVA fleet. Following my mindset, though, I'm not too sure what a capital ship would be for the Shivans (maybe a Rakshasa and up.) Using this definition, though, I think the first chance that a capital ship gets blown up is in Slaying Ravana, a Hatshepsut class thingy. Beyond that, I don't know. Maybe the Orion that you get to blow up in one of those bombing missions...
Title: Freespace trivia
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on June 17, 2003, 02:54:28 am
In a fair world, cap ships would only be destroyers in FS, but then that leaves the other classes without a collective noun, and so all large ships from cruiser upwards are classed as cap-ships.

Big Freaking Red, but Big F..ing Red is also good :D
It's the Bakha, it has two weapons subsystems and it is adequate for any roles. <-Is this the right answer, of you are thinking to something else?

I have Modelview v1.0 Beta 03 Build 16 - 01/06/2001. Quite old, where can I update it?

That'more or less what I was after. It's classed as a bomber, but the model has a fighter name.

So I was correct in a field of view. It is truly a special thing in the Bakha, at least the player can have 2 weapon subsystems to be destroyed when hit by and insect and had only 99% shields :)

hmmmm. Wonders if it's possible to get through the entire campaign without making a single Shivan kill :) Theoretically maybe.

As I said before it's theoretically possible to go through the entire game without killing anything so the question is pretty meaningless. Your first kill could be for just about anything.
Title: Freespace trivia
Post by: TopAce on June 23, 2003, 03:30:13 pm
Truly. Ships which are invisible to radars are not counted as kills. I would have known t2he answer at once, but I hadn't visited HLP in the last few days. Unfortunately. :(

Otherwise, I thought I can get kills to ships which are hidden from radars, I was forced to realize it while testing my campaign. I was curious how many shielded invisible ships have I killed with the ML-16 Super Destroyer gun :D , and I saw the Kills: 0!
My head was something like this: :mad2:

I did say theoretically! :D

My point is that unless there was a mission where alpha flys solo AND has to kill a certain shivan ship to progress there is no way to be absolutly certain which class gets killed first by the player.

If you concentrate on only knocking enemy shields down and never do more than 20% damage to any ship you could in theory make it through quite a few missions without any kills. Of course you would have to be very lucky (and so would your wingmen) and very skillful. Whether there is a player skillful and lucky enough to do it is another matter but it is theoretically possible :D

I don't think you can beat the third mission in the first SOC loop (...But Hate the Traitor) without killing the first wave of ships. The Skulls won't arrive until the second wave of ships has been around for some time.

Title: Freespace trivia
Post by: TopAce on June 23, 2003, 05:24:46 pm
Hippo supposed we are flying 'grinder mode'. despite, it is not certain what our first kill is. A sentry or a Basilisk. If we don't manage to take down any of the Belials, we can take down one Basilisk for sure in the following mission. The very first time I played the mission to escort the shields(Avenging Angels?), I was firing my Fury missiles continously in order to defend the cargo, and then I have quite a good chance to achieve my first Shivan kill of Basilisk.

Not important, but I completed FS2 earlier than FS1, so I knew what the Basilisk is able to do when not taken care, and surely that led me to follow the 'grinder mode'  to shoot without aiming, and much.

Allow me to suggest some reform in this topic: If somebody answers a question, but does not ask another one, may the first visitor ask the following one.
If a question is unanswered correctly for a determinated amount of time(30 days?), may there be another question, of course asked by the man who asked the question we were not able to answer.

Since there are no questions to be answered, ill take the liberty of asking one :D

In the last mission of FS2 main campaign, there are 4 lambda troop transports that jump in. After that a $h!tload of bombers jumps in to destroy them. Which bomber is invulnerable? (looking for wing name, #, and class)
Title: Freespace trivia
Post by: TopAce on June 27, 2003, 01:40:42 pm
The bombers attacking the Lambda transports are Leo, Seraphim class, but none of them is invulnerable.

I have checked it, went through all ships' misc menu and events, i don't see anything invulnerable. Expect the 'radar can spot juggernaugts' invulnerable, and hidden from sensors Ulysses fighters, but they are not attacking the transports, and they are Terrans. :D

Must be a very tricky question.

Eh... A Failure to Communicate had the Lucifer, the Aquilae installation, the Hope, and some other Vasudan Typhon lurking in FRED in case the Hope was destroyed in the previous mission.  So that makes three, four if you count FRED.

The Great Hunt had the Bastion, the Lucifer, and the Prophecy - also three.

Playing Judas only had two - the Eva and the Lucifer.  I can't think of any others that had three or more.

Failure to Communicate had 4 cap-ships, The Installation, the lucifer, the Hope, and the Aquilae communications terminal.

Playing Judas had 4 cap-ships also, 2 cruisers (forget the names), the Eva, and the Lucifer.

(edit: \/ \/ thanks Petrarch. )

(edit 2: OH CRAP! I just remembered another one!

I think it's called "Last Hope" It had the PVD Hope, the shivan cruiser Lightning, the Shivan cruiser Thunder, and the PVC Macross (I think that's the name)

Eh, I thought that this meant cruisers were not included.  Otherwise, you should say "anything cruiser size and over". :nod:


Hmm...

Name all the destroyer-class vessels destroyed or reported destroyed in FS1. :)

If by class, you mean type (IE; Orion, Typhoon) then you have the Orion (Galatae, Legion, Krios [or whatever that ST one was]) Typhoon (Anvil) Demon (Eva Tantaleous) Lucifer (Lucifer) Hades (Hades)

The Orion Amadeus was also destroyed. Hippo hasn't told it. Hades in FS1? At most Silent threat, but that's NOT the OFFICIAL Great War campaign. It's far not sure the Tantalus is destroyed, you can leave it in the mission 'Clash of the Titans', it jumps out, and is not a condtion to proceed to the next mission. Wasn't the Eisenhower destroyed?

When was the GTVA formed?

but ST is still part of FS1...
The eisenhower isn't mentioned in FS1...

But the Tantalus was a mistake anyway, it is FAR not sure it is destroyed.

Yeah, and the Hope doesn't have to survive ether... We can't go just by how the player does, becase every players stats and records are dfferent...

Yeah, but as the question was about, only the ships CERTAINLY destroyed. Reported destroyed in a CB, the player had to destroy it to proceed to the next mission, or had a scripted death like the Galatea had. Otherwise, the Anvil is I think also secondary to be destroyed, the main goal is to get both(or at least one) Omega to the node.

The list of certainly destroyed destroyers is:
GTD Galatea, GTD Legion(the intro), GTD Amadeus, SD Eva, SD Lucifer.

Well, we don't hear that the GTD Legion was destroyed until we see the FS2 intro, so technically that's not FS1.

And you're forgetting - there were two PVD Anvils, one of which is in fact destroyed as a primary goal.  So the minimum list (in the order they happen in the campaign) would be:
GTD Amadeus, PVD Anvil, SD Eva, GTD Galatea, SD Lucifer.

The maximum list would be:
GTD Amadeus, PVD Anvil, PVD Hope, SD Eva, GTD Galatea, PVD Anvil, SD Tantalus, SD Lucifer.

I wonder if it's possible to destroy the PVD Prophecy in The Great Hunt and still complete the mission before time is up. :drevil:

Possible! But not recommended. You get nothing for it. Except if you can destroy it fully alone, but FS scoring is ... no comment, so leave it and make the jump :D  You will lost all your wingmen before the real 'Great hunt' ;)
