Why is Freespace 2 so limited? You can have only 50 ships in a mission...How can you do huge battles?

use more cap ships and less fighters.
with ten collosus' and ten sathanas with cruiser and destroyer escort and fighter wings to protect i know from experience you can have a good battle only problem is freeying all of their beams...

50 ship limit? I'm pretty sure I've had more than that in a mission...

To simulate a large fighter battle, use respawning wings. To simulate a large capship battle, use less fighters. To simulate both, use loads of respawning wings and make the capships appear at different times, ie. Aeolus 2 appears when Aeolus 1 is destroyed.

heres what I found: Max # of Sathans: 10, Max # of hectates: 19, Max # of Deimos: 21, Max # of Fenris: 40, Max # of Perseus: 138.

[LAW ENFORCER]

anyone, know the max explostions/effects?

[Stryke 9]

Probably none, they don't take up as much memory- but I wouldn't blow up all 10 Sathanas at once- you'd probably get lots of skipping.

I can get up to 80, but if I put more than thet in Fred will cash.

true. the max limit in ferd is 80. with respawn you can get some more ingame, but FS2 will eventualy crash if there's too much
