So with the release of the new media VPs and a urge to replay Freespace. I played through the FS2 campaign again and I am working through FS2 blue to see the differences on both playthroughs the mission where the repulse rams the colossus I cant help notice while the repulse is approaching the colossus it bombards the ship with beam fire, but the colossus never ever returns fire. I have replayed the mission several times and the colossus never returns fire or tries to destroy the repulse before it hits. I just find it odd from a story point of the view the colossus wouldn't try and destroy the repulse before hit rams.

That's odd, usually the Repulse gets vaporized before it can do much of anything.

Yeah it's weird, I have played the mission at least 8 times and not once does the colossus fire its beams. It's like the hatshesput, unless scripted it only rarely used its main beam cannons.

Isn't the Repulse approach the Collossus head on? - the collie like most terran ships has a broadside-focussed turret placement

IIRC it has 2 forward slash beams on the head, and probably some addontion firepower due to the lack of Check Hull flags but it's been forever since I played that mission.
