I remember in retail when beams just gave you a puny little red thing that would knock a fighter back at ludicrus speed before it exploded.

[eliex]

That was in FS2 retail right?

Bit of an anticlimax the first time I saw it 5 years ago, but making bombers fly backward at 400m/s was quite amusing. 

[Droid803]

well, now you CAN shoot massive beams of death.
(and blind yourself in the process, but that's a small price to pay for UNPARALLELED DESTRUCTION!)

Oh yeah...SPINNING DEBRIS! WHEE!

[Droid803]

Couldn't you do that with just SSLs?

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Yep, but I don't use the SSLs that often now. It's much more interesting to try and learn how to use the GTM-10 Infyrno and get friendly kills without turning traitor. Want a screenshot of my last kill list?

[ssmit132]

Go on then, give us a look.

Faeces happens.



That was taken from Mystery of the Trinity when I cheated a rack of Infyrnos and use ~ + W.

[terran_emperor]

Using cheats, and armed with the BFRed, it is possible to make commodore, you just have to play through the entire FS2 main campaign 4 times on Insane difficulty, playing the final mission twice each time

Another thing about typing www.freespace2.com is that it activates bullet-time. With that enabled, you can decrease game speed to 0.5x or even 0.25x by pressing SHIFT + <. To speed the game back up, press SHIFT + >. This is very useful if you want to make every shot hit, or if you want to offset a rubbish frame rate.

Note that you can still speed up the game even without www.freespace2.com activated, but you cannot slow it down beyond 1x.

Did you manage to save the Trinity?

[eliex]

Nah, Command will just tell you to get lost for cheating. 

[Romanmolf]

No. They'll execute you

[terran_emperor]

I've saved the Trinity and nothing happens it just sits there

[Romanmolf]

??

Well... opss. Sorry.

[terran_emperor]

Yes!

I had to kill the Trinity myself, to be allowed to continue the game. I think the Trinity is the only friendly you can kill and on get Traitor'd...I that or i used "¬" + "k" on it...can't remember which though

[Androgeos Exeunt]

~ + K destroys the Trinity and lets you get away with it.

[Romanmolf]

Same with the darkest hour!

[azile0]

Yeah. Who doesn't want BFRs on their ship? Or the "Unknown Megabomb", even though it isn't that great. Although, the Armageddon in Inferno was fun to play with.
