There are the Shivan freighters - SFr Mephisto, SFrAsmodeus. They were in a couple of missions in the main Freespace2 campaign...

Well, as far as the obvious goes, those are Shivan freighters. They played a bigger role in FS1.

However, the skins are different, and probably result from a mod you downloaded containing them. I've seen the mod before a while back, but don't remember the name of it...

Anyways, that doesn't help much, but I tried...   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Those came right out of the the game's VP files.  That's why I was a little confused  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Thanx though  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

As already said, those are the Mephisto and Asmodeus. But if we're talking about ships never before seen in game, why not go on about the Ganymede and Bes...  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I was disappointed about the Ganymede... it'd featured in the concept art of the Colossus, I wanted to blow one up!

they look different coz they're not warships I think. I don't want to use the word civilian, but...

  I think the Mephisto's reskin makes it look kind of like a warship... just needs a resize.

How about this ship:

  (http://home.swipnet.se/~w-81377/fs2/vas_frei.jpg)  

I can't remember which mission I've seen this ship in. Must be in ST, but I dunno what mission it was (or if it was in any at all).

  I think thats the cargo holder that is used when the freighters were taking all the boxes out of the system... after the station was almost destroyed

  They should have trashed the unused freighters and kept the Valkyrie and Athena..

Pez: Thats a Vasudan freighter from FS1.  It was rarely used, mostly because it was totally unarmed if I remember correctly.

I do remember blasting one or two with my unshielded Apollo and worrying more about the blast rather than the ships defenses  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I thought that was the terran freighter that was used to tow the Taranus back to Tombaugh Station.

It might be an Amazon Advanced, or the Vasudan freighter from A Small Deadly Space.

Post by: The Claw on August 28, 2001, 04:12:00 pm
The amazon advanced is a reskin of the old Terran Freighter, the name of which I can't remember dammit...

That was a GTFr Chronos, also destroyed by Shivan fighters during the evacuation of Vasudan refugees after V Prime got toasted.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I only ever remember taking down a Bast in the FS1 demo. Mmmm, my first taste of Hornets! Yes, that's right. And my trusty ML-16 by my side, too. And no shields. *sigh* Those were the ... 'good' ole days.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
