    Not surprising. The newer destroyers were pitifully armored and really didn't seem to have a purpose to their design aside from incorporating those beam weapons in. Which the GTD Orions did well enough in this scene, though I don't remember if that was one of the ships that used to struggle with those. The dumbest part of Freelancer was how much each capital ship bragged about how many squadrons they had available but you were lucky to find 3-4 squadrons available at any time near one of them...

    It just turns to avoid a collision. If you speed up footage, the ships will go around and around until one blows up - especially noticeable with Shivan ships as most of their power is as the front, yet they fly in a circle

    Бои проведены тактически безграмотно. Корабли не маневрируют, чтобы подставить под удар наиболее бронированную часть и самим стрелять максимальным количеством орудий. Не применяется даже вращение вокруг оси, чтобы равномерно "размазывать" повреждения. В бою против 2-х кораблей земной корабль вообще стоит на месте как памятник! А должен маневрировать, чтобы первый противник загораживал второго и мешал ему стрелять. В бою 2х2 надо было, помимо маневрирования, сосредотачивать огонь обоих кораблей на самом слабом с точки зрения живучести противнике. "Думать надо!"(С)

    Let's get it over with Freespace 2 was a fantastic game, but the Orion was overpowered. Not that a single-player game needs to be balanced per se. It was just a little silly that the old Orions could cycle beam weapons that it was never designed to carry better than modern ships. It didn't even matter since most missions were so heavily scripted that there was little chance a destroyer would be destroyed unless it was meant to be. Still a fantastic game.

  • @TheInterceptor12

    honestly it didn't make much sense for the Shivans to have beam cannons on most of it's great war era vessels either, or flak guns period. In retrospect the initial lack of beams in the Shivans reintroduction might have helped to sell the illusion of the GTVA's preparedness for the second incursion, only to encounter the Sathanas and Ravanas with beam cannons that rivaled if not exceeded the Lucifer's in raw destructive power. That said, it's pretty impressive that 20 years later, we are able to look back on the game and think back in retrospect how much of a milestone in game and mission design the series was, that we have to look for these small quibbles in presentation and gameplay narrative integration for things to reimagine.

    Way better armed, _and_ the Orion has better Weapon placement. Much of the Hecate's weapons are poorly positioned for a Ship-To-Ship battle, and the Hecate relies too much on its carry-on fighters.

    I dont remember Typhoons to have only 1 beam weapon... what kind of test is it, when Orione maneuvers and uses all weapons while the other one sits afk (also Vesudan ship had more fighters/bombers if im not mistaken, and they are not here). Another point is why Vesudans split fire in 2 vs 2 while Earth forces focus... Its clear setup for the win.

    It's a thing FS2 capital ships do, looks silly. Usually you'd script a path for the ships. The default is that they will just do a circle around the opposing ship, but since it keeps moving, the other ship keeps trying to adjust it's angle. The Colossus was the worst at it, but I think they fixed it in FS2 Open

    The Hecate is a carrier. It can carry far more fighters than the Orion. The Hecate will just launch 50 bombers and obliterate any other ship, it doesn't have to rely on its own weapons. That's why in the Freespace 2 campaign, the Acquitaine never fights the Ravana directly, it just sends a bunch of bomber wings (led by the player) to destroy it.

    Last test was a good example of inadequate results due to inadequate mission scripting. If all ship's maneuvers were scripted to unleash their max potential Hecate and Orion can dispatch a Typhoon so fast, that the only shure way for the Hatshepsut to score a kill would have been ramming one of them.
