[Assassin714]

I thought the use of the meson bombs was just to take no chances, and while a node could possibly survive the destruction of a destroyer class or larger vessel, it was still a risk that the node might collapse. But in the dream, that possibility didn't come up at all.

[Assassin714]

I had one that was rather involved, and had a lot of non-Freespace related parts and parts that I don't remember, but I do recall clearly seeing a fight between the Lucifer and the Sa-Matra from Star Control 2.

The Lucifer's shields were able to absorb a few blasts from the Sa-Matra which would have destroyed almost any other ship, but then the next blast overwhelmed its shields and destroyed it. The Lucifer never even got within range to fire its own weapons.

I also didn't even see the Sa-Matra, since it was firing from an incredibly long distance.

Then I remember someone discussing that if the Sa-Matra were to be modeled in the Freespace engine, what size it should be, and they eventually decided on around 10 km long.

I had a dream where I was playing some versions of levels from TIE Fighter, but remade in the Freespace 2 engine, using FS2 ships. I specifically remember playing the "Guard Resupply" mission in the Sepan Civil War campaign, where you have to escort the TIE Advanced prototypes from the escort carrier to your Star Destroyer. Except the Escort Carrier was replaced with a Deimos (even though it doesn't have a hangar bay), the TIE Advanced were replaced with Myrmidons, and the enemy ships were replaced with Shivans (I remember 2 Cains flying side by side). At one point the Deimos jumped out and jumped back in again, and at another point one of my wingmen complained about the tug pilots crashing one of the Myrmidons into his fighter.

[Assassin714]

Had a complex one where I was flying something with two types of primary weapons, one red and one green (with a name like [something] pulse) and cluster missiles. Enemies included Shivans (I recall Nahemas, Astaroths, and Seraphim), Terrans (a wing of enemy Perseus named Eta, some Leviathans, an Elysium that seemed to have the invincible flag, as I couldn't damage it before it jumped out, and at least 2 Argos armed with anti-fighter beams), and Vasudans (1 Mentu).

My ship was pretty strong and had a regenerating hull, and was decently fast.

But in the end, it turned out that the whole mission was just some kind of simulation in-universe, and I was a GTVA pilot who was going through some kind of psychological evaluation/test, but it was also really dangerous because I was at risk of being trapped in the simulation, or having other unspecified but really bad things happen...

There was also a Knossos in the distance, but it had a constant vortex that looked like the one from the Stargate franchise. There were various larger capital ships around but I don't remember many details about them. At one point there was also a Faustus, but it had a different class name and the same individual name.

[Assassin714]

Just had one, I was playing some weird custom campaign, where every other mission was a non-playable cutscene, but with no messages or narration or anything, I was just watching capships fight, they mostly looked Vasudan, I remember a Typhon and a Hatshepsut both fighting against some kind of massive ship that was more than twice as long as both of them combined, it also looked sort of Vasudan. There were some smaller ships like Sobek corvettes, and at one point there was a Colossus too, and some ships larger than the Colossus, all exchanging beam fire, I don't remember seeing any strikecraft or Shivans though.

Then there was an actually playable mission, but the briefing was 80 screens long, and most of it had no descriptive text, just labels, so you kind of had to guess what to do, the mission involved jumping to multiple points in a system to patrol it and trying to stop and download information from some buoys or something. There was also a part where I was flying a ship but it was much more like Descent, with an indoor structure with a reactor and a countdown once you destroyed it, and an exit you had to reach in time. I remember the reactor was guarded by Red Hulks that I kept firing Mega Missiles at, and I kept saving and reloading the level while in the middle of the self-destruct countdown. There was another one of those cutscene missions where a giant ship (larger than destroyer class) was heading straight for me, I didn't recognize its design, but at some point a huge yellow beam was fired at it and blasted a large chunk out of the front of it.

There was more too, but I don't remember it clearly.
