Enemy squadrons? We don't find out the names of enemy squadrons, IIRC.

I mean like Cancer, Pisces etc. I think there are 12 of them. Be warned to write only FS2, because FS1 has krishna, Vishnu, Indra etc.

203rd Vasudan squadron of the GVD Psamptik.

I put up another question if somebody can confirm me. I am certain about the 203rd, but I don't know the exact name of the squad(203rd Vasudans for example)

As I know the exact lenght of the Colossus is 5.942.375 m. Source: 'Introduction of the GTVA Colossus' cutscene

Let me notice that the word 'trivia' means the answerer can choose between three possible answers. The 'tri' means three. So this way, this thread is incorrect. Can we give three or four possible choices for out question?
Just a question, nothing more. :blah:

Actually, trivia is derived from the word Trivial - basically it means trivial but amusing little snippets of knowledge about a certain subject. So this thread is right on the ball :D.

Cutscenes are infamous for their errors. My source was ModelView, whcih gives the length to be 6117.:D

How strange. What is your version of ModelView? I have never seen that option in it. Mine is the one I can download from HLP.

Nobody told I am incorrect about the Vasudan wing, my question is:

What does BFRed mean? (Put long name here)

I only saw the 'tri' word and got the idea. I had no source I can base my belives on. I knew I am incorrect, but at least I am now convienced. Now leave me, and answer the question above. :thepimp:

Big Freaking Red, but Big F..ing Red is also good :D
It's the Bakha, it has two weapons subsystems and it is adequate for any roles. <-Is this the right answer, of you are thinking to something else?

I have Modelview v1.0 Beta 03 Build 16 - 01/06/2001. Quite old, where can I update it?

It's definitely BigF**kingRed, as it is censored in the tbl somewhere. I think. :D

That'more or less what I was after. It's classed as a bomber, but the model has a fighter name.

Descent Network, somewhere. I'll have a look.

So I was correct in a field of view. It is truly a special thing in the Bakha, at least the player can have 2 weapon subsystems to be destroyed when hit by and insect and had only 99% shields :)

I will have a look around Descent network.

What's the nickname of the Ulysses?
