Isn't that technically a potato bazooka?  

As a proper spud gun is that wee thing that shoots potato pellets with compressed air .  Which isn't as good, but less likely to burn your eyebrows off if it misfires.

There is a really cool, mean looking Anubis around, though that is a mech.

That Liao Anubis is pretty mean looking, but it's more similar to the Vasudan Anubis than you'd expect.  Fast and lightly armed, it's best tactic is to rush the enemy and blow up in their face.  It doesn't really get to use it's default long range weaponry.

the Liao anubis would get slaughtered by the Anubis that i mean.

to be more precise: zoe2, mecha anubis

WTF?

The Apollo is the best goddamned ship in FS1 or FS2. How dare you insult such a majestic piece of machinery.

I've fought off nine Serapis fighters armed with double Kaysers and Tornadoes in an Apollo with double Avengers and Interceptors. Then I took out eight Myrmidons. Did I mention I had ordered my wingmen to leave beforeand?

Try going 1v1 against me in an Erinyes / Perseus.

Have you ever thrown a potato, really hard, at someone's head? Give it a go some time. It'll surely answer your question.

Yes, but that was with the best ship of all times.... The GTF Valkyrie.

No crappy Apollo.

My hat goes off to you, sir. Just one question: what difficulty level were you playing on? Insane is the only one I fly (ever), and the only one that counts.

I'm still in my potato-projectile youth. Watch out if any of you ever visit my house - make sure you announce yourself beforehand, or you may find yourself on the receiving end of my anti-intruder potato-barrage.

I dont know how you guys do it, but when I got on the internet with other Freespace pilots, I got murdered, mauled, and everything inbetween. I nearly snapped off my friends joystick always PULLING UP and going in CIRCLES all the time!!! I picked a Herc II however, and next round I picked the Interceptor fighters (persesus) and lasted about 15 more seconds then USUAL! What is with you guys and the "extreme" skill. I've been playing Freespace 2 a fairly long time and I never seem to get better...

I must be just a FPS person...

But the Apollo definately kicks an EXTREME amount of ass. But you can kill the Shivans with the M-16? I thought it only did hull damage. You cant kill them with that gun... but anyway, I found the Valkyrie better then the Ulysses because it had a faster afterburner refuel as well as a MUCH faster fighter. But the missile compliment sucked ass. I found the Herc powerful, but my love still remains with the *****en Apollo...

Who needs missiles when flying a valkyrie?

Oh, yes you can. I avenged the Plato with my trusty ML-16, it can be done.

[TrashMan]

Dito...a ML-16 and Fury or(MX-10 or whatever where those heat-seakers called) missiles to be exact...

[Janos]

Heat-seekers won't work, because when you first encounter those Scorpions/Shaitans, you can't target them. I used dual ML-16 and Furies combined with hull.
