That's a good example.

Trolling 

Trolling is the act of posting garbage, flames, or offensive material just to get a reaction out of people.

So does using excessive amounts of smiley faces

  I tried modding this mission more than once.  I never could get it to work out.

  I did a few different things, like trying to putting better weapons on the Vasudan cruiser, altering their flight plans, but it usually ended up with them just flying a pattern around the node until the Ravana showed up.  (Once I even put LRSSLBeams on the Colossus, just for kicks.  It whooped those Shivan cruisers pretty good...surprised the hell out of me until I remembered the long-range part of them...oops.)

  I like what you did a lot better, though.  It tracks a bit more with what a typical Freespace mission would be like--keeping the huge ships' movement to a minimum, forcing the smaller fighters and bombers to take part a bit more.

  Several of my experiments with "Their Finest Hour" usually ended up in a weird kind of chase between the Colossus and the Sathanas--which could easily last a half-hour or more.  The Sathanas would come through and do its thing, then turn away, leaving its flanks exposed to the Colossus for broadside firings for several minutes at a time.  Eventually, the Sathanas would win, but only after being brought to nearly 10% or less hull strength.

  Just another example of how capital ship combat needs to be planned out thoroughly!

I hate that mission (not yours, the one in retail) because, frankly, the only reaction i got from watching a 2-kilometer long squirt-gun get blow up was "So we wasted over 14 years for THIS?"

"So we wasted over 14 years for THIS?"

Indeed. 20, to be precise.

I share the same sentiments as you do, Titan. It's the COLOSSUS, for crying out loud! You can't disable the rear engines!
