If Command had more resources, they would definitely have been deployed. The problem is that they didn't. Remember Exodus?

Spoiler:

You had no reinforcements there. Three fighters sortied to protect a convoy of four large ships against...fifty-over Shivan small craft and a Cain? Add a Moloch if you don't destroy the Abraxis fast enough. It's asking for trouble if the Shivans weren't stupid enough to attack only one target.

Yeah I suppose you're right, and counting the fact V kept in mind the computers of the day when they planned the mission.

Hmmm.

We need a WWVD (What Would Volition Do) thread where we debate all sorts of pointless nonsense about what Volition would do if they were designing Freespace 2 with the tech of today's computers.

Today's culture is more of a Console-Gaming culture, so likely FS2 were it made in 2009 would be for the XBox360 or PS3 or something.

PC games still are being produced, so FS2 would also be released in PC. Wouldn't it become clumsy to play it on a console.

It'd become stupid if it were on a console.

Simplification.

GTSVA · **Reply #249 on:** February 01, 2009, 10:55:58 am

Hmm...I can think of the commands...how a keyboard uses ALMOST every key on the BOARD to play the game..while a console controller would have MAX 8-10 keys..How do you expect to play the game. You're better off playing Starfox...XD

Mobius · **Reply #250 on:** February 01, 2009, 11:04:54 am

Say whatever you want about the simplification of commands but you can say nothing regarding the level of plot development and graphics.

Another bad thing is be the lack of mods, which would be very bad.

That would be the worst point.

Mobius · **Reply #253 on:** February 01, 2009, 11:17:15 am

Yeah, true, but your first posts led me to think that you were somewhat accusing console games of n00bness and stupidity, which isn't necessarily true.

GTSVA · **Reply #254 on:** February 01, 2009, 11:49:40 am

I don't think so...Console games rock! CRASH BANDICOOT FOREVER!

You have volunteered for a training assignment with the GTVA. This specific training will cover shooting the pilot of the ship, in order to get the ship in one piece. This technique is also known as "headshooting".

Your assignment in this specific training will be to pilot a modified version of the Amazon drone...

I agree.

Cool...someone agreed with me. I feel special.

The GTVA Colossus is never explicitly given a ship type in game, so what do you think it is closest to?
