You only would have had to compare the Aeolus-Rakshasa and then the Aeolus-Leviathan and the Rakshasa-Lilith. That simple.

How many weapons does the Deimos corvette have?


Perhaps, if you are actually looking at the tables.  When you are shooting at them, they both die pretty easily.  I believe though that the Rakshasa is designated a light cruiser, while the Aeolus is just a cruiser.  But that's getting nitpicky.

That's 58 seconds. Somebody asked this in the previous trivia and that was unanswered: Which ship had the 'guardian' flag in the very last mission when the capella system encountered its fate.

That was  DeepSpace9er's question. Otherwise, I don't know the answer, too. So this is not my turn of questioning.

It looks nobody is interested in this thread: What are the Terran losses of operation Tresher, before our hero joined the Galatea?

Terran Command estimated Terran losses at 504 pilots dead, fourteen missing and presumed dead. It did not go as planned either...

If you were in a fighter, sitting still on the end center of the flight deck on the exterior of a hostile orion, how many turrets would be able to fire upon you?

Well, it is a short form of the saying "What the F***!"  Whose words I can't use for obvious reasons, often accompanied by this expression:wtf: , WTF is used when someone is unsure of what is going on/being said, and is aggitated somewhat:mad:,  so the exclamation of WTF is used.  Less commonly, WTF can also translate into its more appropriate cousin "What the Fudge/Frak/Fork/etc.!"  Used in the same situation, except the circumstance demand that more apropriate language is used.  Other word replacements can include "Carp!  dang it!  Son of a Mitch!"

"All units, you will disregard Kappa 3's transmission. The communication record of this sortie has been classified level Phi."

How many times more expensive is the cost of building an orion compared to paying is crew for one year?

It says it far outweighs the cost of paying the crew for three years.

Why are the Rakshasa-Lilith and the Aeolus-Lev upgrades so different? Please wait for my confirmation, probably I am not thinking on the same thing than you.


The Cain's the Asuras (which was originally a Llith), and the Iblis is the Rakshasa.

Anyway, next question.

What are the first three words in the textboxes in the Colossus cutscene (yes, THOSE textboxes :lol: )?
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Okay. Here's a little bit of an odd one. Apart from the fighters & bombers which GTVA craft are small enough to fit through opening of an Orion class destroyer's fighterbay.

I counted at least 7.
