Where does this nickname for Vasudans come from? :headz:

Old campaign. Derived from 'Zodiac', because zodiacal symbols were used for their fighter wings, I believe.

Not a campaign, just me.  You can blame me for it.  Though that is the reason.

Wow. That was really easy. When I wanted to learn that, I had to go on some sort of googlequest and found an old archived thread. I suppose sometimes it's just better to ask...

I think that's more or less history now too.

That's the way i see it :) The only area where terrans rule are fighters, because they were the only playable race in retail. Not bombers though, Sekhmet rules  ;)

I dunno, the Ursa's pretty good too. I used it in mutli yesterday and was going around killing Dragons (and killed a Dragon once with Helios bombs only)

IIRC, the Typhon has a terrible weapon subsystem placement and resistance, which means a FS1-era Orion vs Typhon duel often end up in favor of the Orion.
People are stupid, therefore anything popular is at best suspicious.

But the first Typhon encountered by GTA forces could still manage to take the GTD Eisenhower and much of the 4th fleet out. Element of surprise? In any case, I don't see why the Typhon should be considered inferior to the Orion.

Mobius said it. Historically, the first deployment of Typhon class was bigger success than the orion. Of course that probablt depended on fighters and bombers heavily thanks to the FS1 era having only blob turrets. But in FS2, the Orion is totally the winner, but the Hatshepsut pwns 'em all so it's another round for the Zods.

It's fluff, stuff that isn't in the game either due to balance, technical difficulties, or lack of time. Both ships should have had many more turrets (around 27 like the Hecate).

What about beam cannons? Terran beams are more powerful, and they have the Mjolnir.
