Title: Artemis/Artemis DH?
Post by: Uninvited on February 02, 2007, 07:00:23 pm: I don't remember the Artemis DH at all from FreeSpace 2.

Why are there two versions of this ship? The DH is faster an more maneuverable at no cost, so why would anyone fly the regular Artemis?

I don't think the ships are actually different in any way.

The only difference between the two ships is the paint job, and you only get to fly the DH if you flew the NTF Infiltration mission for SOC/GTVI. I think :v: planned to make the DH faster but never got around to tabling it or found it unbalanced gameplay.

That, and the inverted "Y" tail compared to the "X" tail of the standard.

Post by: DarkShadow- on February 03, 2007, 06:17:10 am: The Dogfight PBanks differ, while the Artemis has the D-variants, the D.H. uses standard weapons. So, actually, there's no real difference between both.

Its an unlock for doing one of the SOC loops so it should have been a little better than the usual version.
