Not to mention the Shivans took it out for them.

The Colossus' destruction could have been avoided however - it was just that the Colossus' captain decided to sacrifice the ship to ensure the Bastion safely made its run.

How command intended for the Colossus to withdraw when it was disabled is beyond me.
Command and the Colossus's lines made it seem like there was a choice to stay behind. To me, it looks like the Colly was ****ed over the moment it got disabled...which was some time before 'Their Finest Hour'.

Uhh, Droid, the Colossus is disabled for FREDding reasons. Go and open sm3-08 in FRED2 or fred2_Open. Canonically, it's not disabled during the duration of Their Finest Hour.

I'm more inclined to believe that what you see in the game is better indication of canon than the mission file.
Yeah, it was PLANNED for it to have a waypoint path and stuff, but the thing is, you look at it in game, it says it's disabled.
Therefore, canonically, it is disabled.

Regardless of what reasons, that is all a normal player would see. A non-modder would never see the waypoint paths intended for it.
I know that it had other things planned for it, but it's disabled in game.

Besides, we were never told by that the waypoint paths and stuff were what the mission was intended to be. Perhaps the changes were intentional?

Might have been the remnants of another Colossus mission.
