Re: Major Destroyer Deaths in Campaigns
Has anyone mentioned the Lucifer yet.  It's technically a destroyer, and it blows the hell out of any of the other deaths in the game.

You realize that a Hindu would have serious qualms about playing FreeSpace: The Great War? "Destroy Rama" to them would equate to "Exterminate Baby Jesus" to us.

Affirmative. Oh my God it's the KD Foster! Scramble the fighters immediately and equip them with yarn blasters!!

We'ra arming you with the new CNM catnip missile.  This acts as an EMP, distracting the ships with it's drug-like properties.  We're equipping all Mice fighters with the new missiles.  Good luck, pilots.

The KD appears to have a shield surrounding it. The catnips don't stand a chance...(this is getting off topic)

The joke was supposed to be that you were being ordered to kill kittens, widows and orphans. It seems to have been lost.

It's okay, you'll still get the chance to kill plenty of babies and cute ferrets.

After you blow up the GTI Pet Adoption Shelter.

I never had a good feeling when I was with the Vasudans. They were arrogant (Impressive for a Terran etc.) and the briefings were soooo annoying...

All hail TVWP!

Oh, c'mon. Tell me your heart wasn't warmed the first time you heard 'You fight like a Vasudan!'

Zods are the scummies of the galaxy. I'd glady go back to the GTA. And contrary to General Battuta, I get warm when I blast that Vasudan into space dust. Then my buddy says, "Great Shot!"

I felt like that too, feeling slightly isolated and kinda alien in the Vasudan part of the campaign. The weird alien music/frog mating calls in the mainhall added to the effect... Also, the fact that most of the Vasudan missions were set in the nebula, against teh 3vil Shivans, made me feel constantly edgy and nervous on the Psamtik.

When I returned to the Aquitaine I was a bit dismayed at not being able to fly the Vasudan fighters anymore but the addition of the Erinyes (and being able to fly in normal-space) was a welcome, sobering change. ;)

Re: Major Destroyer Deaths in Campaigns

Flying with them was ok.. but it was harder then with terrans. Tho they seemed to do better for some reason.

Hard why? I had to use their crappy ships, all with light armor. Plus they died easy and fast. Tho their were alot of them. They do have pritty ships but... they all suck. Screw manuverability when u got heavy weapons and armor. Ares FTW!

EDIT: Bwahaha, im keeping it misspelt from now on. Its funny tho.
