Aug 6, 2011 - @TheMarine250789 Greatest era of gaming. Freespace 1-2, Starlancer, Freelancer, Mechwarrior 1-4, G-Police, Deus Ex, Ghost Recon, Rainbow 6. Nexus Jupiter Incident.Freespace 2, Nexus and Freelancer will always be my favourite Space games. X3 just didnt do it. Freespace was the best Space sim, although Nexus was just as good being a cap ship sim were FS2 was a fighter sim. Freelancer was the free roaming and multilayer space game. You would think developers would make games better by now.

Aug 6, 2011 - THE FOLLOWING IS CLASSIFIED LEVEL RHO.UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS IS PUNISHABLE UNDER THE GTVA SECURITY ACT, SECTION 21.3.5We vanquished the Shivans in the Great War... but the hard questions remain. How would we confront the threat of future invasion? The Shivans might return any time, any place without warning. How would we fight the next threat to the very existance of our species?

Aug 6, 2011 - In 2345, on the 10th anniversary of the Shivan attack on Ross 128, the Vasudan Emperor Khonsu II adressed the newly formed GTVA General Assembly. The Emperor inaugurated an ambitious, and unprecedented joint endeavor - the GTVA Colossus.-Whooosh-
SVB222 Says:
Aug 6, 2011 - Vasudan: Together we've built a civilization from the remains of the Great War, and now we stand on the threshold of a new era of prosperity and harmony. With the Project Colossus, the Vasudan people celebrate our peaceful coexistence and mutual defense with our Terran allies.The Colossus is the post powerful space-faring warship ever constructed. Spanning 6 kilometers from bow to stern, the Colossus took over 20 years to complete.

Its state-of-the-art weaponry includes:- 45 Laser turrets- 15 Flak guns- 12 Missile batteries- 12 Beam cannonsThe Colossus wields more firepower than 5 Orion class destroyers combined...60 Fighter and Bomber wings are housed within its massive hangar, and its crew numbers over 30,000.Along with its major contractors:Triton DynamicsSubach InnesThe Akheton Corporation

Aug 6, 2011 - The Alliance now wages war on multiple fronts. In Deneb, Alpha Centauri, Epsilon Pegasi, and the mysterious nebula beyond Gamma Draconis...Once deployed, the Colossus will end these conflicts swiftly and decisively, if ever the Shivans ever return to threaten our worlds... we will be ready to face the challenge!Securing peace for today, and for generations to come!

WilhelminaRa Says:

Jan 24, 2012 - I'm normally Reserved, But watch this with Type (The Dark Knight Theme / Hans Zimmer) running. Do it. Holy hell, it goes like hand and glove when running adjusted and running simultaneously
FuchsiaFF00FF Says:
Jan 30, 2012 - The biggest immersion breaker in this game for me is that a lone fighter pilot can repel the entire Shivan invasion while the Colossus is just cannon fodder.
