The only problem with FS1 Command was that his brothers had taken over the entire GTA fleet.

It's probably not discrimination, it's just that most of us (well, at least me) still hate the FS2 Command for the "Avoid The Beams And You Won't Get Hit" Moment.  :hopping:

i preferred the fs2 command, he gave you an order, and you had to follow it to the letter, you failed its your problem. he also gives support to the collossus to destroy the sath.

and the 'you fly into it, what do you expect!', he makes an example if you get it wrong. i always learn from a second mistake thanks to fs2 command.

I'll vote for FS1 command. They just seem to be a bit better with the pilot.

"see if you can get into the lucifers bay, pilot!"

FS2 command.  I don't like him, but at least he didn't send me into a shivan armada in a broken down fighter, then advise me to dock with the enemy command ship.

"Avoid the beams and you won't get hit" annoyed me, but "Oh my god, it's the lucifer!  See if you can get into it's fighter bay!"  annoyed me much, much more.

Freespace 2 command felt like there was a much deeper plot behind it, whereas Freespace 1 it was just a voice in your head

I thought that was a cool idea actually. Infiltrate the sucker, fire some weapons inside its fighterbay, cause some damage. See also: Anakin Skywalker, Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace

Which, would've made perfect sense, if command hadn't made it perfectly clear that if you fire one shot, the shivans are gonna say "Hey,lookie there, a broken down dragon with terran weapons.....KILL IT!".

I found him annoying because of the stupid things he told you to do, such as to destroy the Maelstrom's cannon (not a bad idea in itself, but if you didn't, the other idiot got mad at you) or to lure the Shivans to the Renenet before destroying them.

Fs1 command was like the inexperienced space faring command with only it's own experiences to draw upon. Fs2 command was the intermediate experienced space faring command with more than it's own experiences to draw upon and with stuff to hide. I think it's obvious to say and say again command had one hell of a big secret objective in the works.
They knew about bosch and etak, so they probably knew about the knossos much ahead of time, so they probably also had the meson bomb ready to go and appear to be in meer testing :drevil:

FS2 Command. The guy is so mean to the player that I actually like him  ;)

"Alpha 1, we've 42 Sathanas incoming, go intercept them."
"But Command, I'm not even carrying any bombs!"
"Just follow your orders, pilot!"

Actually I think FS1 command wanted you to board the Lucy and single handedly destroy it from inside out like in STAR WARS: Dark Forces.

Semirelated question: Are the FS1 voices in the FS2 to FS1 port? Cause I've only played FS2, so I'd be a bit biased.

what's wrong with that ? I always found I had to lure them to the Corvette as my wing buddies would almost immediatley get wasted. Usually followed by me, unless I hide behind the 'vette. Or I just sack trying to play on "hard"  :doubt:
On a side note I thought the music especially suited that mission (a flaming sword ?)

i perfered NTF command myself, even though thats not an option.... lol....

"You did not have authorization to return to base. Your actions jeopardized the lives of those involved in this mission and the NTF's objectives in this theatre. Unless Command decides otherwise, you are hereby stripped of your wings and all privileges bestowed upon you as an officer of the Neo-Terran Front.

You will be confined to the brig pending your execution at 2100."

HEHE, DIE COWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FS1 Command. The guy had vague tinges of humanity. FS2 Command's a heartless bastard.

FS2 command.  I never got the sense he was a heartless bastard - I doubt he really gives the orders, you know; he's just in charge of relaying them.  Poor guy just isn't allowed to show any emotion; he has to maintain military discipline and set an example for the pilots. 

Though he cracks a bit at the end: "Capella has gone supernova!"  And then that heartbreaking "Godspeed, pilots!"

The voice actor was amazing.
