I think we need another question or two here:

In one of the FS2 missions, you are told buring briefing that a certain capital ship will arrive to provide fire support but in thye mission a different one comes instead. What mission is this and what are the names of the ships?

The GVCv Sopedu is intended to arrive, but the Thutmose arrives instead.

Can I have a cookie?

Oh yeah, a *few* questions...


1) How many total Orions are mention in Freespace 2 *name if possible*?

2) What is the name of the vessel intended to help you at the Capella node in SM-301? *hint: it didn't stick around too long*

3) What did the first, second, and third waves of convoys consist of in the final mission (according to Allied Command)? Also, name the Terran/Vasudan warships that either provide fire support or escort convoys.

4) Name the three Aeolus cruisers in Clash of the Titans II.

5) Triton Dynamics, Subach Imes, and the Akheton Corporation are mentioned in the Colossus cutscene. Name as many other corporations and contractors listed in the cutscene (behind the TD, SI, and AC names).

6) (this is true or false. hey, need some variety) T or F: The 53rd Hammerheads, the 107th Ravens, and the 242nd are all Great War-era squadrons?

7) Freespace 2 starts and ends in what system?

8) Name two corporations who have weapons named after them and one that has a ship named after it.

9) The first Hatshepsut was released in what year?

10) What year, anniversary, and Vasudan announced the construction of the Colossus (write his speech if possible)?

11) T or F: The Great War lasted from 2335-2336.

12) If the Great War ended the 14-year T-V War in 2335, when did the T-V War begin? [/p1mpage]

13) T or F: The GVB Sekhmet was designed with Shivan technologies in mind.

14) Beam weapons were designed to defeat what vessel (its Shivan)?

15) The GVD Psamtik was destroyed in the nebula while at the gate of the 2nd Knossos. What destroyed it? *if you want, write out the conversation going on between Command and the Psamtik during the encounter*

[Kamikaze]

anyone mind if I convert this thread into an IRC trivia game? (that is, use the questions here for IRC)

[Tar-Palantir]

I can answer some (spellings will be wrong in many cases)

1) Carthage
   Bastion
   Messana
   Nerdie (the one's that's going to collasp the Vega node.
   Galatea metioned a few times
   Repulse
   Vinidcator
  there's some more but I can't remember them.

2) Phenisca (Hecate class destroyer)

3) Medical ships and transports. Lemnos was the Deimos, pass on the ships providing support although one was a Mentu-class cruiser.

4) Malta, Ertinax, Templar

5) Pass.

6) Hammarheads involved in the destroyion of the Lucifier
Kings helped capure McCarthy
Ravens...uh can't remember, but I'll still say: True

7) Starts in Deneb, ends in Capella

8) Akaton, Subach and Mechuah (the Vasudan Subach).

9) Guess: 2355

10) '10th Annervisary of the Shiavn attack on Ross 128' 'Together we built a civilisation from the ruin of the Great War and we stand on the verge of prosperity and harmony. With the *somethinbg* Collouse we celabrate our renewed providence and mutural defence of our Terran allies.'

11) False. 'by the end of 2335, the Great War was over' - Techroom database.

12)  2321 (14 years before 2335)

13 True. It was based on a HOL design which in turn was based Shivan design. (Anyone notice that it looks, from above like a Nahema - although these were never encountered in the Great War.)

14) Lucifier probably.

15) Sathanas number 2!


My turn: What's odd about both the Comms officer of Rivera Installation and the guy of give the cutscene briefing about the Taranis in FS1?

[kasperl]

8.
- subach
- akethon
- ?
anyway, another question:
what`s the explosive power (in kilo/mega tons tnt) of a helios?
bonus: howmany times hiroshima is that?

9) The first Hatshepsut was released in what year?

Oh, puhleese! The Sathanas no. 2.
"Command we have arrived 8000 meters from the subspace portal"
"8000 meters? Psamtik, you're way off course!"
Bombers come in, a lot of ordering around, finally Sathanas jumps in
"Psamtik, do you recognise the configuration?"
"Sathanas configuration, repeat Sathanas configuration!"
"That's impossible!"
Psamtik is destroyed

Close, but no cookie.

The game actually starts and (if you make it) ends in the Vega system.

[CP5670]

Most of those have already been answered, but here are some of the remaining ones:

1) How many total Orions are mention in Freespace 2 *name if possible*?

GTD Carthage
GTD Aeneas
GTD Delacroix
GTD Messana
GTD Bastion
GTD Nereid
NTD Jacobus
NTD Normandy
NTD Repulse
NTD Andronicus
NTD Uhuru
NTD Vindicator
NTA Vasa
NTD Cyrene
NTD Alsace

That's all I can remember.

5) Triton Dynamics, Subach Imes, and the Akheton Corporation are mentioned in the Colossus cutscene. Name as many other corporations and contractors listed in the cutscene (behind the TD, SI, and AC names).

Here is a copy of a post I made here many months ago:

I was looking through some of the command briefing and tech room animations and found at least 15 new corporation names that I did not know of before; I have not heard these anywhere, so I am guessing that some are not known in the community yet. If you look in the credits, it can be seen that almost all of them correspond to the last names of Volition staff.  (there are a lot more than the known Baranec one)

Akheton Corporation
Agay Fluctuators
Baranec Acquisitions
Bessmer-Kohn
Comet Propulsion Systems
Capezzuto Textiles
Dynamic Metamer
Enricco Ergonomic Systems
Gulisano Precision Gear
Han-Ronald Corporation
Hoffoss Ballistics (not quite sure on this one)
Holt Bio Systems
Iscot [something]
Johnson Munitions
Kresge Construction
Kulas Management Systems
Mekhu Enterprises
Mesa Corporation
Nankam Aeronautical
Pletcher Designs
RNI Systems
Sahr Corporation
Snapka/Flegel Weapons Systems
Shekar Hydraulic Actuators
Subach-Innes
Triton Dynamics
Velocity: A Camarillo Company
Wentz Acoustics
Whiteside Construction

(write his speech if possible)?

Go near the bottom of this thread for the answer to this: (and a laugh )

You forgot the Galatea!!!  Ok, so she was destroyed 32 years before FS2, but she was in at least one cutscene.  If you don't want to count the Colossus scene, though, that is understandable.  But who could forget the prestegious Order of Galatea...

Admiral Petrarch
For saving a capital ship of the GTVA from immanent destruction, you are hereby awarded the Order of Galatea

I AGREE!

What was Admiral Wolfes (Galatae' CO) first name ??

According to Eishtmo, Marcus, but I'm not sure if it was in the game.  However, the game spells it WOLF, not Wolfe.

These of mine are still unanswered...

What were the casualty statistics in Operation Thresher?

What FS1 destroyer is destroyed twice?

[Tar-Palantir]

504 dead, 14 missing so presumed dead.

The destroyer question? Pass.

[Goober5000]

1. Correct.

2. Come on, the destroyer question is easy.  Hint: It belongs to the Hammer of Light.

The PVD Pinnacle?  I figured it was Vasudan, but I don't really know which one...

[Goober5000]

No, the Pinnacle is part of the PVN.  Try again.

[CP5670]

My FS1 knowledge is a bit fuzzy, but I think there were only three HOL destroyers in FS1, the Prophecy, Anvil and Ptah, so it must be one of those...

[Goober5000]

[Mr. Vega]

1. What was the Belisarius's hull integrity before the Psamtik blew it up?

2. What was the name of the rogue GTVI Saphrah in Derelict?

3. What is the fastest vessel that's freighter sized or bigger in FS2?

[Corhellion]

1. pass

2. Enigma(Mission with the sensor scrambled fighters)

3. Colossus? Sathanas?

[Anaz]

1. Wasn't it either 66% or 33%

3. Poseidon?
