/me pounces...

What were the casualty statistics in Operation Thresher?

Give the complete FS1 Hall Fight dialogue. :D

What FS1 destroyer is destroyed twice?

And these questions are still unanswered:

What's the name of the cruiser that's on the comm officer's screen in the FS1 intro?

What's the name of the cruiser that's supposed to help you protect the Bastion in Clash of the Titans but never shows up? (kind of a trick question)

"...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

GTC Gladiator! I set it up in the Port so it shows up if you get the medal in Black Omega (both Elysiums leave and you destroy the Typhon... very difficult.)

There are enough questions floating around, but... what Shivan fighters are shown in both Freespace intro movies?

Q: What gives Commander Snipes the "creeps"?



"What's the name of the cruiser that's on the comm officer's screen in the FS1 intro?"

A: It says the GTT VanBuren or something along those lines.

I already posted my question, no need for a second one, though I got tons.

All the rest of them are on the nodemap, except Vega-Antares, which never existed. (The one where the Lucifer skipped over the blockade was Ribos-Vega, but that doesn't count because only Shivans could use it.)

Here's a clue, since you all seem to be stumped.

"The Antares-Beta Cygni jump node lies in the center of a dense asteroid field, making it one of the least-used jump nodes in the galaxy. Standard procedure would have us circumvent this node completely, requiring two jumps. Now we have no choice."

(And no, the answer is not the Antares-BC node.)


The Antares-Ribos Node...

"Welcome to the Bastion pilot, we just recived word the Galetae has safely reached Antares...The shivans have a base of operations in the Ikeya system..."

So, it Had to be the Antares-Ribos node...

- Command, this is boarding party Bravo 2, entering diabled freighter.
- Roger, Bravo 2, keep the chatter to a minimum.
- Bravo 2, you're signal's getting weak
- Copy that [and then some message about 'go']
- Probably all dead anyway
- Cut the chatter, damnit
- Did you hear that?
- Contact 30 meters ahead
- Report, Bravo 2
- Form up everyone
- Visual?
- Negative, I don'...
- Whoa..
- What the hell is that?
- Oh my god
- OPEN FIRE!!!
- DIE!!!
[terrans getting killed]
- Bravo 2, what's going on? Please respond!
- Oh my god.... no...... no!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or something like that :D (and no, I didn't look :p )

As for the destroyer, I don't believe there were any getting killed twice... hmm......

I think we need another question or two here: :D

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?

What power reactor does the Ares operate on?
