Deus Ex Machina II. The sequal to Goober's joke campaign.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

...I consider Axem's JAD (Just Another Day) Special Edition to be presently filling the void of "DEM sequel."

Remember the GTD Hades class super destroyer was effectively an attempt to make a Terran equivalent of the Lucifer class. What if the Hades had been *captured* instead of destroyed at the end of Silent Threat?

Had the GTD Hades class gone into mass production along with the GTCv Deimos, GVD Hatshepsut, and GTD Hecate classes, then the Big C might have stood a MUCH better chance in that battle.

Has anyone here tried escorting the Big C with fully armed Hades class destroyers and seeing what happens to a Sathanas without Alpha 1's intervention?

I just played teh Collie vs. Sath mission...and the Collie waxed the sath in record time without taking a single hit (the sath didn't come close enough to fire it's only remeinning beam cannon (got 3 of them before).

The strange thing is - in my tbl the collie is set ot have all 12 BGreens (alltough the weapons setup in the mission should override that)...

There might not have been enough materials to mass-manufacture the Hades; if it was using any form of recovered Shivan tech, for example, they'd be stuffed.

*wet trout smack* :D

I have actually tried pitting a Hades versus a Sathanas--suffice it to say, the Hades didn't last very long. I would assume that unless the Hades escorts are targeting the Sath's beams, then the escort would go down rather quickly.
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!

JAD...was that the one with disco inferno? I liked that one. Made me screw with time compression to see if it would still sync.

Yup, that's the one. How bad did it get? I tried my best to get it to be a whole number of seconds but it never really worked out. There would always be some delay within the mission from other things while the music kept on going by itself.

I would love to be in full combat with the colossus... it would totally own to match speed in the one area of the ship (on the interrior) that has guns... especially since they rarely go after the guns on a ship... its a great place to sit and let the Colossus get a hangover while you sit, wait, and hope she don't blow up! (that would be a fauking huge explosion... ur shields would go to like 0 and ud have like 1% hull... as well as totally disabled... that is a heck of a big ship

4 Demons, 4 Ravanas and 3 Cains pawned by the sucker (and they were coming in waves of approx 2-3 ships).

@FireCrack, Trashman said Pawned (Presumably meaning Pwned).  If you pawn something you sell it, i.e. Pawn Shops.
