Does anyone remember the NTD Cyrene and what circumstances it is mentioned in FS2?

"...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

Actually, I think it was the flagship of the NTF Sirius Fleet and was destroyed by the Psamtik.

I had actually made a list of all the battles mentioned in the main campaign that you don't participate in for the purpose of making a short campaign that follows them, parrallelling the main campaign. The cool thing about this would be getting to see the big C actually kicking some ***  against the NTF. I've got a list of all the battles and NTF ships specifically mentioned in the mission briefings/debriefings. I thought it would be neat to see the C actually being used the way it was intended, against four or five destroyers and corvettes at once. =)
If it aint broke, break it!
