No, but theroetically, as an admiral, you should know everything, as opposed to a civilian.

As an admiral you shouldn't be flying in a combat wing.

[NGTM-1R]

As a captain however you could (probably would) be. And would be briefed in on these things. Regardless the "single playthrough" cavet was added to demonstrate the possiblities that Volition would have built the game to. Yes, you can make Admiral, but not by playing single-player once, which is what the game was designed for.

[Flipside]

That's what the classification levels are for. Remember when you did the SOC loop? You were specificially instructed not to share any information you had gathered. Same when the remains of Kappa wing returned from the Nebula, and when command let Bosch escape. There was a lot going on that you weren't told. Same thing with troops movements, it'd be like telling a grunt fighting in the front line about the cardboard army used to trick the German army for the D-Day landings, you'd might be risking everything for something that serves no purpose.

Whether [V] had any idea what was going on or whether that was merely plot device, is something only they can answer.

"The following is classified level Rho. Unauthorized access is punishable under the GTVA Security Act, Deneb Convention, Section 21-3-5."

I think there are a LOT more destroyers than that canon list even...
what about the Goliath, and the Eisenhower, mentioned in the tech room?

and if all the FS2 orions are retrofitted Great War ships, then what about the Carthage and all the NTF destroyers, like the Vasa, the Uhuru, the Repulse, the Vindicator...etc.


I quote Cmdr. Snipes

"...but you can rest assured that the results will be classified far beyond your level of clearance. They always are."

Even a ranking SOC operative (im guessing snipes isnt just a lowlevel spy) doesnt know very much.
and besides, letting you know more than what you had to know means [V] would have to come up with a lot more explanations for all the cryptic goings on in the game.

Well he is Lieutenant Commander Snipes.

[spartan_0214]

Lieutenant Commander isn't that high of a rank.

[Mars]

It's high enough to command a squadron

[spartan_0214]

It's high enough to command a squadron

But not very high on the need-to-know-basis list.

Squadron ought to be run by a Commander.

I think they make an exception for Alpha 1 given his proven ability.

if you run right you can get command of a squadron as an LT. I think

I am Lieutenant Loukakis, squadron leader of the 53rd Hammerheads.
I'm Lieutenant Samsa, squadron leader.
Lieutenant Commander Cordova here. Welcome to the 242nd Suicide Kings, pilot.

[Quest_techie]

I was thinking your character, but that level of memorization of something not monty python, princess bride, star trek, or star wars not only impresses, but sligtly frightens me

[Vengence]

The Sathanas is around 5km right? If so, Yeesh thats big (mass wise). I had never put my ships next to FS2 ships until now...

[karajorma]

Just short of 6km actually. So your scale might be slightly off.

[Col. Fishguts]

The Sath is 5978 meters to be exact.
