I know, but I tend to think of mass drivers as massive, gun powder-less cannons, whose projectiles hit supersonic speeds and use mainly magnetic fields to propel their projectiles.

By more detail, I meant on the model, as it looks really plain. What's the polycount at? It's a very cool model, but it needs more detail to be really complete as a ship.

It fires a beam . And I never heard of any Archangel dreadnought .

AFAIK there are 2 Archangels... a dreadnought built around a huge kick-ass beam cannon...and a battleship with lots and lots of cannons.
I'm surprised you didn't bump inot one of them by now..they're both well known around here.

thats friggen cool

And here's the Dreadnought version (done by Strattcomm, I believe):



Personally, I like the dreadnought version better... probably because the battleship version played hell with a mission I was making (never did figure out why, so I dropped it).

Does that sometimes to me...I think it has something to do with all the turrets or subsystems...

but I cna't find out why..In one missions vs. 5 Saths it works OK, in another vs one sath it chrashes...go figure..

Can we PLEASE shut up about Alpha 1? After 1 year I've seen so many "oh may gawd Alpha 1 pawns he can take out the entire Shivan fleet aw may gawd" jokes that it gets old. Freakin badgers.

Alpha 1 is only as good as the pilot behind the cockpit. 

I remember days of old when i used to play FS2 at a local pc bar that had it, and everyone was like, "Where the hell did that come from?" 

I take a seraphis fighter, put full power to engines, close  to about 1000 metres, then fire off a trebuchet right at em (Two if they're flying a heavy assault / bomber)

KABOOM!

ya so many people need to know about freespace 2 these days..

Looks like the Terran version of the Gigas from INFR1.

It sounds like a Terran version of the Apothess.

"Agrees with Woolie"

[Woolie Wool]

It also sounds wankier than the Apothess. One shot, one Sathanas kill? Ridiculous.

*second's that*

Actually, you'd be thirding that since I was seconding it.

[haloboy100]

meh. thirded then.

Well, technicly, if a beam cannon like a LRBGreen or even a BGreen can dish out X damage, then a beam that is 100 times bigger should do 100 times more damage..In this case a lot more.

So a one-shot kill for a Sathanas sounds about right, given that according to it's size, it should be able to kill two Saths or more with one shot

[haloboy100]

take THAT you sathy bastards!

The Terrans couldn't make it then. It would take another 20 years, most likely a lot more.
