Could you help me with finding ships (ready and imported to game) that could be put in T-V war period.
I focus mainty on capships but new fighters and bombers would be nice too. Both Terran and Vasudan.

[Mefustae]

I believe the Angel Interceptor, upon which the Valkyrie is based, is available in the latest release of the Freespace Port. You might want to check with those guys.

[Mars]

Realize that the Freespace 1 ships represent the most modern T-V war era ships, the Fenris, Leviathan, Orion, ect. all served in that war.

[mr.WHO]

WOW, that was genuis Mars 

[Mars]

Yeah belive it or not, I'm that smart all the time. On the upside, once you give up even trying to apear halfway intellegent, your self esteem goes up, so I live in a happy world.

[Trivial Psychic]

I believe the Angel Interceptor, upon which the Valkyrie is based, is available in the latest release of the Freespace Port.

To be accurate, it's the Angel Scout Fighter, not interceptor.

[Mars]

Yeah, it moves what 60mps

[Taristin]

Good luck on this endeavor. TVWP doesnt even have all that many.

you shouldn't have needed all that many, if you hadn't went off on a bonkers prequel route.

[Taristin]

Twasn't my idea.

[Solatar]

It started as a demo...back when I was still endorsing things, I didn't know it was going to take 3 years to get halfway done.

[Taristin]

Well, would have been done if we didn't start adopting every model ST made.

[aldo_14]

Oldest mistake in the book....

[Nuclear1]

WOW, that was genuis Mars 

But you have no idea how good an idea that is. Truly, how often do you expect that two races introduce completely radical changes in designs over 14 years? 32 years after the Great War, the GTVA still employs Hercs, Lokis, and Medusas. I would expect that a lot of Great War ships have served for a majority of the war, since it seems unlikely that since both sides were suffering economic backlash as the war entered its final few years, that many new classes of ships were being introduced very often.

[Mars]

After thinking about it, the one problem with that is tge fighters and bombers. The majority of the warships in Freespace 1 and T-V veterens, but the fighters and bombers are all new, besides the Apollo and the Valkyrie (kind of).

[karajorma]

Not all the fighters are new. In fact the NTF only have access to the Myrmidon and Herc II which suggests that the other ships weren't widespread 18 months earlier.

[Mars]

No, I'm saying that the majority of fighters in Freespace 1 are new, meaning, they saw no service in the Terran Vasudan war.

[aldo_14]

No, I'm saying that the majority of fighters in Freespace 1 are new, meaning, they saw no service in the Terran Vasudan war.

Only the Athena and Apollo IIRC are definitively TV-era.  Of course, it could be that the GTA relied on the superiority (until the Typhon) of the Fenris, Leviathan and Orion and never felt the need to develop too many fighter/bomber classes.

[Mars]

The First Strike command breifing alludes to other, less manuverable bombers than the Athena, and the FS1 intro cutscene seems to indicate a bomber very similar to the GTF Apollo: a two seater with large missile ports. So there were bombers, we just don't know anything about them, I suppose the Osiris and Amun are T-V era.

Another small problem is the lack of weapons, only the ML-16, MX-50, Vasudan Light Laser, Training laser, Harbinger and Fury are canon pre-FS era weapons. We know the technology to make xasers was available, but was expensive, so you could have a heavy cannon based off of the Subach (damage is kind of extreme without shields)

[Taristin]

And Harbingers were only used to bombard planets...
