I'd like to see a Colossus fight a Ravanna or any other vessel ...
Just for fun watching the fight as i hated not having time to watch teh capital ships wipe our each other due to me having to kill hundreds of enemy fighters and bombers, so:
How can i create a custom missions (just a single mission, not a cmpgn) i can select all fighters/bombers and weapons and let some some large ships fight some other ones.
What do i have to do to create such a mission?
Ne tutorials u know?
Software (Will need to run on Linux)?
THX4YA'HELP!

FRED is everything you need,place ships and make their beams fire either with mission specs(if you're using FRED2 Open)or beam-free-all for every ship(FRED2).
However keep in mind,if you have played the main campaign only,that FreeSpace and FRED have limits.Putting hundreds of warships is impossible,this "mania" or simply the curiosity a FS fan has to re-create enormous battles is called "Battle Of Endor Syndrome".
Click on the first link on my signature :D
I'm making a campaign with the Colossus as protegonist,I made four missions but now I'm concentrating on Steadfast and The Sagitta Project,I'll continue it later.

uh, dude, notebook FREDing is hard as hell, for one. If he's a newb and asking for help to create a capship dogfight, he doesn't know how.

First we need him to have FRED compatible with Linux,then I can give some help.

FRED is everything you need
FRED was everything, everything that I wanted;
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but it crashed then.
And all of the new SEXPs, so close to me, just fade away...
All this time I was not saving,
So much for my happy ending.
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

Know that if you want to make a simple capship fight, do not forget the beam-free-all on all capships involved! (Or else it will be pretty boring)

Run a recent FSO build in Wine. It supposedly works.
