that's trashman's Aeglos instalation, right?
But why do the Earth guys still use Furys and Interceptors?
That's like asking why the GTVA still uses Orions and Leviathans in FS2. Because they have not yet outlived their usefulness.
EDIT: And no, that's not a better question.
A better question is why are the GTVA still using Deimos? (or green beams for that matter)
Don't they have Chimeras and Bellerophons?

The Deimos doesn't seem to be refitted like Orions and Leviathans were, however...which is why I asked.
Aren't those just flak guns?No, they are the small terran blob turrets, and also I don't remember the Deimos being able to fire the Slash beams so fast.
the ones i have are these big black squares with dots in the middle :(- OpenGL
So the Earth armada doesn't have any beam weaponry at all? :(I'm sure they'll have... Ahem... Sexier stuff than simple beams. ;7
It's really looking that way...the railguns are beautiful. A nice change from beams.Agreed. That's exactly what I did thought when I saw it first time. That's why I love this weapon.
The scene with the Karuna charging in firing on the Deimos looked like a moment from (Galactica spoiler)Spoiler:Season 3, where Pegasus makes its final run on a group of Cylon base ships.
I also like the fact that the railguns don't do a ridiculous amount of damage. I like the feeling that the Earthers are in some ways quite outclassed by those beams.
The United Earth having railguns balances out the GTVA having beams. With the railguns they can do immense damage accurately to enemy turrets and also beam turrets, knocking them out. Sometimes that's why I think that railguns in some places are far superior than beams.Well I have to say railguns are 100% original, by now quite a few mods have them.
What other weapons do they have?
Will the Sanctuary be getting a UEF weapons upgrade?
Are you going to be using the awesome BtRL bomb detonation effect? Where there's a bright blue flash around the detonation, which lasts a few moments before the shockwave expands?
Very likely. Like the end of Blue Planet 1 says, Earth needs every weapon/pilot they can get.
It'd probably be a big waste if they didn't.
Also, the Sanctuary was a big character in BP1. It might be in BP2, so it should have some fighting chance.
The Sanctuary was a sleeper ship, not a combat ship.
It was a modified Orion from the Great War, may I remind you. So even if it WAS a combat craft and not a sleeper ship it would have only ghey FS1 weaponry.
Exactly, hence my question. What are the chances of it holding up to modern ships?
How many advance GTVA ships defected to UEF after the end of BP1?
Will Vasudans aid GTVA or the will be neutral ?
If the Solace defects, I'm a happy man. :D
Fairly well, if the Orion of FS2 is any judge. And hey, since it was a sleeper ship, the internals were already mostly ripped out, making any necessary interior remodeling easier.But the FS2 Orion upgrade was developed during a time or relative peace (albeit littered with political instability) while the Sanctuary was upgraded during a time when one wrong move would get you exterminated by the Shivans. I'm pretty sure the Sanctuary wouldn't be anywhere near as powerful as any up-to-date GTVA ships.
*snip*Yet I feel that since the Sanctuary survived for such a long time hiding from the Shivans, I'd think its weapons systems, once patched up, would be pretty formidable.

Keyword: hiding. The Sanctuary only survived because it avoided direct confrontation. I think it would need a pretty massive upgrade to its weapons before it posed a serious danger to more modern warships.Like retro-fitting that 'chaingun' with torpedo launchers on each of those cannons. :D
Or just chain-railguns. :nod:Keyword: hiding. The Sanctuary only survived because it avoided direct confrontation.

Remember, alternate-Eriana is a Sanctuary crew member. We really don't want that ship destroyed.Ship-Guardian will handle that!!!!
Or if you fail the mission if the Sanctuary dies. :PRemember, alternate-Eriana is a Sanctuary crew member. We really don't want that ship destroyed.Ship-Guardian will handle that!!!!

Which means its invul-ed, since you need to restart.
I like the idea of the UEF more than the EA of Inferno simply because it shows more diversity. Undoubtedly 50 years of separation would make the two factions differ in combat style.Just so that you know the EA has had railguns long before BP.
They had a beam cannon on the Megaera too.Well the EA in INFSCP have railguns and beam cannons. And flak. So bah.

The Vasudans will probably side with the GTVA at first, but if a group of them, preferably high-level officials on some kind of joyride, are captured, given a lengthy outlook of things and then released, they may switch sides instead.
You're assuming the GTVA aren't the "good guys". Which they may very well be.Well from the point of view of the UEF, the GTVA are evil invaders attacking for no reason. Remember, the GTVA wanted to destroy the people of Sol before they even made first contact.

Well the Vishnans may have sent you back to our universe to save Earth from the "Evil GTVA".
Yeah, what's Sam doing in WiH?
So when will BP2 be released :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
The Baalor rules.The overpowered cycle gun? :lol:
I assume the Baalor makes dogfights against GTVA fighters annoying, huh?
yet it wasn't overpowered like the Kayser.
The Baalor is great. Lay off Darius.
