The athena? I could buy that about the Artemis (That ship could easily be made bigger and turned into a troop transport) but I can't see it in the Athena.

I mean personal transport as a 'private ship'. Like the YT-x series in Star Wars, just without a tremendous size and cargo capacity.

The Athena always reminds me of X1.
I love the design, but I don't understand what the ship is good for.
Light bomber.... but can't carry bombs...

Heavy Assault fighter. Ignore the Bomber designation.

In FS1 before the advent of the shield the role of the bomber was to denude a capship of turrets so that another capship could kill it.

One thing I like about Freespace is the way that introduction of shields completely changes the tactics that the GTVA uses.

It's a somewhat subtle thing that some people miss but the introduction of the shield is what makes the heavier bombers like the medusa practical. Without shields the slow moving medusa would be cut to ribbons by interceptors or capship guns before it got anywhere near delivering its payload.

The Medusa's turrets would be more effective against shieldless fighters. It is true that the Medusa can be wiped out quickly, I only said(wrote) this to tell an advantage that works for the Medusa if shields are not in the dictionary of the GTA.

The turret would do f**k all against capship guns though. I'd take a shielded medusa against shielded fighters over an unshield one against unshielded fighters any day of the week.

I think he's pimping MT again.

TopAce · **Reply #50 on:** August 02, 2004, 01:35:54 pm

No, he only wanted to be funny. I see nothing in that post that leads anybody to the MT forums/website.
As for the Medusa: OK, we humans differ. Such is life.

I guess you haven't been following HIG's posts elsewhere. I'll wait till he posts but considering his actions here and on SG I'd bet it was a pimp

TopAce · **Reply #52 on:** August 02, 2004, 01:44:33 pm

Riiiiiiiight. If you are saying ....

Bah, it was not Pimp I just really like our Models that's all:p

You see your self when we are done....... why those are Cool

karajorma · **Reply #54 on:** August 02, 2004, 01:54:51 pm

I didn't say it was ONLY a pimp

Taristin · **Reply #55 on:** August 02, 2004, 02:23:45 pm

In all fairness, though. They are really cool looking models. And I do think I did a decent job texturing them. We just have to wait for the last few things to be completed for MT and you'll all see what we mean...

@Terran Turret > Shieldless Medusa

'nuff said.

Well, maybe not enough....if a huge bomber takes hits, it can recharge it's shields and still survive to deliver a payload. You can't recharge a hull in-between bombing runs.
