Maybe the Prophecy.
Can we see her in a mission?

So I was right. ;)
[EDIT] I didn't mean the Hammer destroyer question.

:nod:

The PVD Prophecy doesn't engage the Lucifer; it tries to stop you from reaching the Sol node.

Ooooh, that's a toughy. I'm tempted to say Anvil (that's the only other HOL destroyer I remember near the end), but I'm pretty sure that's the Typhon which we destroy with Harbinger bombs and the new Ursas. Damn... what was its name?
- Eddie Kent Woo, Setekh, Steak (of Steaks), AWACS. Seriously, just pick one.

The Anvil is the one destroyed by Ursas with Harbingers.  I'm guessing Woolie Wool is thinking of the Prophecy, but it doesn't engage the Lucifer.  Those two Typhons are the only named HOL destroyers in FS1 (not counting Silent Threat).

okay- new question:

In FS1 where is the Flail gun developed?

You can use it first time in the Aftermath mission. It was developed at Laramis.

I am still curious what the correct answer is for this Hammer destroyer question.

Dammnit! Blaise was quicker! :)

Just to stay at FS1:
Who is your wingman in the Eve of Destruction mission?

What is the last (voiced) word you hear when playing through the FS1 campaign?

"liberation."

Or, in mission, the very last one you can hear is "left!"

BR, you've correctly answered three questions in a row and haven't asked one yet. :)

Howabout based on that one: What's the first word you hear in FS1?  And what's the first and last word you hear in FS2?
