GTM Infyrno

2006-12-16T01:53:45Z

Admiral Stryker: /* Veteran Comments */

Like the [[GTM Piranha]], the '''GTM-11 Infyrno''' is an anti-fighter weapon carried by bombers to clear a path through defenders as they close with their primary objective. The Infyro is a much different device than the Piranha however. It is, again, a manually detonated dumb-fire missile. But intead of using seeking submunitions, it depends solely on high-energy explosives released within a very tight detonation pattern. It does enormously higher damage, but to a small area. 
The missile moves fast and has a fair range, making it safer to deploy. But ultimately this is a very difficult weapon to use in its intended role since one must gauge by eye the necessary lead factor on its unguided path. Enemy fighters also have the annoying habit of seeing the massive chunk of ordnance come sailing their way, and break formation evade it. When it works, it works amazingly well, and entire wings go out with a single brilliant detonation; but it doesn't often work. 
However the Infyrno is not entirely useless, since it can dish up absolutely catastrophic damage to light warships, freighters, transports, etc. Against these targets, the Infyrno can be considered a sort of quick-loading, dumb-fire antiship torpedo. Be cautious however, not to release too near the target, since you will almost certainly be vaporized by your own weapon if you're caught in the blast radius.

==Tech Room Data==
The GTM-11 Infyrno is an area-effect bomber suppression weapon, often employed to knock out incoming waves of slow-moving bombers. Upon detonation, the Infyrno releases multiple submunitions that contain ultra-high-explosive charges. The Infyrno is detonated remotely by pressing the Secondary weapon trigger a second time. A HUD indicator displays the distance from the warhead to the firing ship. If the pilot triggers the detonation too early, he risks being caught in the Infyrno's extensive blast radius.

==Veteran Comments==
''I've never gotten the hang of the Infyrno, personally, but when you get it right, it's quite effective at shaking up formations and causing people pain. A direct hit will leave a target in very bad shape.'' 
''This weapon takes considerable skill and timing to use against fighters, but can be quite effective against them if you do have the listed requisites. However, I found that for those less able like me, it works well against cruisers, as well as transports, although for those, you could use the much better suited [[GTM Tempest|Tempest]], or simply hammer them with your guns.'' 
''Like old Indiana Jones says, "If you don't know how to use a whip, you'll just end up hurting yourself." If you detonate an Infyrno too close to yourself, you will most likely cause yourslef to explode. Though, once you get the hang of using these, the same stands for enemy fighters, which even the burliest of which have problems taking two hits. These also have a very high chance to knock out a specific subsystem you may be aiming for, just by their sheer power.''

GTB Athena

2006-12-04T23:41:26Z

Admiral Stryker: /* Veteran Comments */

The '''GTB Athena''' was one of the oldest, most commonly used class of bomber during the [[14-Year War]]. When the [[Shivans]] arrived with their outpowering warships, the need arose for larger, more devastating bombs, which the Athena was not large enough to carry.

Being the lightest bomber of all known Terran bombers, the Athena provided a reasonable efficiency against incoming hostile fighters, while it was not worth a fighter-class.

{{FS12_Ships}}
{{shipimage|image=[[Image:athena320x240.jpg]]|caption=The GTB Athena}}

==Description:==

===FS1 Tech Room Description===
The smallest bomber in the fleet, the Athena has oftentimes been mistaken for a fighter. However, one should not be fooled by its small size. The Athena can carry light bombs, and most missiles. It also has the ability to dogfight well. Its strong shielding and hull make it the favored "Lightning Bomber" of the GTA.

===Developer Notes===
Excellent for hit-and-run bombing. Good speed for its size, with a high capacity afterburner reserve.

===Veteran Comments===
''I always wanted to love the Athena, but it's lack of a any serious anti-cap ship capablity made it a non-choice when going against anything bigger than a transport.'' 
 
''The Athena is the ultimate tool for a fighter pilot. But not a bomber pilot. It has higher speed then the Hercules, good manuverabilty, and can haul an equal if not greater amount of ordance. It has a thin target profile from the the sides and front-back. Its gun setup is the best for dogfighting or bomb interception ever seen in a Freespace game, more then compensating for its inablity to carry the [[GTW Prometheus|Prometheus]] or [[GTW Banshee|Banshee]]. If you want to carry real bombs, though, you'll have to get a Medusa.'' 
 
''If it could carry the [[GTW Prometheus|Prometheus]] or the [[GTM Hornet|Hornet]], I would prefer it to the [[GTF Hercules]] as a heavy fighter, but the lack of these and any proper bombs means theres always a ship better than it for most missions. On the other hand prior to the more advanced ships and weapons it does make a good heavy complement to the [[GTF Apollo |Apollo]] and the [[GTF Valkyrie|Valkyrie]]'' 
''The Athena is probably one of the best ships in the whole FS universe. It's fast, manuverable, hard to hit, has great primary weapon placement and can take a lot of punishment. It can't carry the big bombs, but then again, crippling strikes are it's forte. Loaded with Stilleto and Fury missiles, it can quickly disarm and disable any ship, making it a easy prey for others. The only real downside to this jewel is it's incopability with some of the more advanced weapons'' 
''This is the ship I swear by. While the top comment makes mention of it not being good for a fighter's job, I beg to differ. The speed, amount of manuvering it has, shields, and amount of ordinance it can carry, along with it's almost nil front/side profile, AND the small turret in back make it able to rip most fighters to shreads. With the exception of speed, I view this ship as the ideal anti-bomber ship, laregly due to it's ability to pepper a bomber squadron down to almost nothing (mostly with Fury and Synaptic warheads), and then swoop in to finish the stragglers off. I singlehandedly finished off the Hades with this ship, and prefer it highly over any Hercules variant, or the Zeus, with it's far larger target profile, facts which plagued me for much of FS2.

GTF Pegasus

2006-12-04T23:32:21Z

Admiral Stryker: /* Veteran Comments */

{{FS12_Ships}}
{{shipimage|image=[[Image:Pegasus320x240.jpg]]|caption=The GTF Pegasus}}

The '''GTF Pegasus''' was one of the most advanced starfighters in the GTVA Navy. It was specifically designed for reconnaissance and stealth missions. This class of fighter is the hardest to hit of all Terran fighters, the fastest, but the most vulnerable. Its Vasudan appropriate is the [[GVF Ptah]].

==Description:==

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
The Pegasus is used almost exclusively for reconnaissance missions. It's the fastest, most maneuverable ship in the Terran arsenal. The craft's contours and hull materials were carefully designed to minimize its profile to detection sensors. It is woefully armored and packs only minimal weaponry, making it a death box in a firefight. Pegasus pilots are a special breed of daredevils who pride themselves on getting into and out of situations that would be the death of other pilots, all without firing a shot.

===Developer Notes===
None

===Veteran Comments===
''Pegasus - a stealth fighter. It's available for you only once or twice in the game, so most players won't fly it.'' 
''Besides that, it's a very nice fighter to pilot. It has only one gun mount, and a small secondary bank, but it's advantages are more than enough for this. It's very maneuverable, so flying it is a dream, and it's invisible to radars. That means nobody can target you (unless there's enemy AWACS nearby), warheads immidiately loose lock on you, while enemy fighters and capship's turrets can only threat you if they see you. But even this isn't easy, because it's color and shape make it hard to see on distances beyond 500 metres.'' 
''Ideal reconnessance fighter, if used properly can be a really lethal weapon. Just imagine a wing of Pegasus, TAGing everything in sight, while remaining undetected...'' 
''Quite a fighter, but it has less total hp than a Perseus (which already borders a line between blows-up-when-sneezed-on and solid-as-a-rock). The incredibly small profile helps counter this somewhat, as well as the stealth ability. It possesses superb maneuverability and a high speed, but has only one primary weapons bank and a small solitary secondary rack, meaning that it cannot accomplish anything beyond what you equip it for. In those few missions where you get to use it, try it out. But I would go far to say that other craft would do it more efficiently.'' 
''The Pegasus, while amazing for it's small target profile, speed, and almost complete radar invisibility, is'nt really that impressive, against skilled pilots. When pitted up against a group of these for training, a decent pilot in a Herc2 can call a beat on at least one of these at a time, even hitting it with dumbfire missles. Granted though, the manuverability is great, and it is fun to fly, in almost all situations, something with more armor and weapons will probably fit the bill better.''

GTD Hades

2006-12-04T23:27:49Z

Admiral Stryker: /* Veteran Comments */

The '''GTD ''Hades''''' was a warship of the class of the same name during and after the [[Great War]]. The ''Hades'' was an effort to utilize stolen Shivan technology and mix it with Terran ones. Disagreement from the side of the [[Galactic Terran Alliance]] led to the [[Hades Rebellion]], during which, the GTD ''Hades'' was destroyed by two squadrons and the GTC ''Orff''.

==Description:==

===FS1 Tech Room Description===
Nothing much is known about the GTD Hades. It seems to be the GTI's top project. We believe the goal of the project
is to recreate the SD Lucifer. 
The GTD Hades should be considered a Class A threat.

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
The GTD Hades was a fusion of Terran and Shivan military technologies. It was constructed by Galactic Terran Intelligence (GTI), a rogue branch of the GTA. In 2335, GTI leaders sought to overthrow the provisional GTA government established in Delta Serpentis. After the defeat of the GTI and the destruction of the Hades, the GTA classified the details of this research at level Omega. There are rumors that the Alliance has attempted to reconstruct the Hades to learn more about the GTI's activities. These reports have yet to be confirmed by government sources.

===Developer Notes===
None

===Veteran Comments===
''Has too many hitpoints, in [[Secrets Revealed]], standard practice is to hide in the "trench" halfway between fore and aft of this ship, and jam your keyboard's firing key down. I've found however, that this is not as effective in [[Portal:Freespace 2|Freespace 2]]. The weakest point of the Hades is the horrible protection of its subsystems. An [[GTD Orion|Orion]], although it has 1/4 - 1/8 the armor, can win in a fight with a Hades simply because the Hades will be disabled and mostly disarmed within 30 seconds of the battle. I've seen an Orion take out a Hades with realitive ease, although it took a while.'' 
''It is more powerful than other destroyers in my opinion, and can take on any on its own. However, it lacks turrets in some areas, and its anti-aerial armament is not of good quality.'' 

''The Hades is pretty capable in FS2. I've seen it take on multiple Demons and Molochs at once and survive. But its antifighter armament is decidely FS1-era. The Hades' effectiveness against Shivan ships often surprises people, but it is actually quite simple when one comes down to it: Shivan ships do not have slash beams, greatly decreasing their chances of damaging the Hades' subsystems.''

''I disagree with the last two comments, the first is correct. The Hades can be destroyed easily by an Orion because of its pathetic subsystem armor. Although its two BGreens would usually rip most destroyers to shreds, the fact that a single well-aimed Stiletto II can disable this bohemoth makes them almost useless.''

''I find, that even though the scope of the Hades is mind boggling (especially the first time you actually fly over the whole thing, and before seeing things like the Collosus), it is fairly weak. In the FS1 mission where you are assigned the task of destroying the Hades, even though I had lost all of my wingmen, and it took me two hours, I found I was able to single-handedly destroy the ship, by disabling it's underside cannons, engines, and sensors, and then just floating in the space below it... In an Athena. I actually found the squads of re-spawning Lokis more of a challenge, aside from the sheer amount of HP the Hades had.''
