Take a look at those screenshots..
 http://freespace.volitionwatch.com/fs2/screenshots/dcss7.jpg  - This one is very interesting. The old Harpoon was originally called the Crossbow (its model is crossbow.pof) as evidenced here. The Subach was the Sidearm (glad they changed names) and the Moloch was called the "Daurvi".

There really isn't any rhyme or reason to this post, I guess. It's just interesting to see whatt it looked like..

I remembered when the FS2 demo first came out...  

I played it on a P2-300 with a TNT2-M64 - I must have gotten about 2fps (no joke)... finished it by hacking my fighter into getting lots of MX-64s that had a smaller turning circle so I could finish the mission without actually moving my fighter (bad for the animation!).

I spent a whole sunday downloading the damn thing on a crappy 33.6k modem... But it was worth it, ah it was worth every single minute. Then I had to wait, like, four months till they released the game on Brazil...

well, before the FS2 demo, I never played any FS game. I had to play this demo with the details set to the minimum, and believe me, the LOD4 of the manticore isn't pretty at close range... So I didn't play FS for a while. I got FS1 last year on a CD in a magazine, and bingo! The week that followed, I bought FS1 (yup, again)+Silent Threat+FS2  
Couldn't play my FS2 for long anyway, I had to wait for a better computer ( I waited for about 3 months, d'oh!)
SCREW CANON!

I made a list of all sorts of stuff like that while going through the FS2 missions. Check it out at my site (use this link since the one in my siggy points to a server that's down...). Go to FS2 -> Notes -> Discrepancies for the list - there's quite a number of interesting entries in there.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

I still call the Harpoon the Crossbow.  The Cyclops was the Belial, the Moloch was the Gauri (and damn did it have lots of flak).  Yes, and the Perseus was from Kresco (Kresgie strikes again).
