Darth DySkO: /* Canon inconsistencies: Retail FS2 box */

==Quirks==

* In [[The Place of Chariots]], the mission where you encounter the [[NTF Boadicea]], Volition used the facing-waypoint SEXP to ensure that the Boadicea never appears when the player is looking directly at it. If the player turns toward the area where the Boadicea appears and never turns away, the mission will never progress.
* There are only two canon references to ground warfare in FreeSpace. If the player wins [[Surrender, Belisarius|the first mission]] in FS2, he is told that 600,000 ground troops are sent to invade Cygnus Prime. Also, there is an FS1 multi mission where the player attacks an HoL marine convoy.
* The Aten destroyed before the mission in La Ruota Della Fortuna is designated ''HLC Maltusa''
* The BFGreen is only used once in the game (during [[Endgame]] and only on one of the Colossus' turrets).
* The LRBGreen was only used once, in [[High Noon]].
* You can target your own bomb using the target-object-in-reticle key. Your target display will show video from the bomb's seeker.
* The SCv Moloch's fighterbay was never used in the main campaign. However, it was used in a multiplayer mission.
* FS1 command brief and tech room .anis normally had readable text. Almost all FS2 .anis, however, have some kind of nonsense text. The Colossus cutscene has several blocks of text, all of them starting with "Math is cool." The Meson Bomb command brief animation reads like an advertisement (Guaranteed to blow anything up...).
* The TTC 1 tech container does not appear at all in either the FS1 or Silent Threat campaigns. A few of them appear in [[...But Hate the Traitor]], during the FS2 campaign. It also appears in the FS2 cutscene "Colossus".
* Almost every radio message in FS2, other than training messages, is accompanied by a head animation. Several radio messages in FS1, however, don't have a head animation. None of the freighter's messages in FS1 have one, and there are two instances of "Command" not having an animation. In [[Eve of Destruction]], if the Orff is destroyed, Command speaks without a head .ani. Also, in [[Paving the Way]], Admiral Wolf's messages have no head .ani. In the FS2 mission [[Mystery of the Trinity]], when the Trinity reaches critical damage, a pilot speaks without a head .ani. This is due to a bug with the personas.
* The only squadron leader or admiral that the player ever sees is Admiral Wolf. Admiral Wolf (Alpha 1's commander on the Galatea) appears once, in a cutscene (and also a few times in-mission with the normal command head .ani).
* The mission name 'Exodus' appears in all three Volition single-player campaigns (The Main FreeSpace Campaign, Silent Threat, and FreeSpace 2).
* The mission names 'The Great Hunt' and 'Clash of the Titans' (with/without II on the end) appear in both FS1 and FS2.
* The ship name Andromeda was used for three Vasudan ships and one Terran ship: the PVFR Andromeda in [[The Hammer and the Anvil]], the PVC Andromeda in [[The Pursuit]], the GTSC Andromeda in [[On The Run]], and the GVC Andromeda in a command briefing in [[Surrender, Belisarius|Surrender, Belisarius!]].
* The [[PVS Scarab|Scarab]] and the [[GVEP Ra|Ra]] have FreeSpace's only "in-game" depiction of a Vasudan, Shivan, or Terran. The "unmanned" Scarab has a dead Vasudan in its debris, while the Ra's story is somewhat more [[Find the MOON Challenge Results|interesting]].
* In the second training mission of FS2, there is an installation named the Kos.
* All GTVA warships in [[Their Finest Hour]] are beam-freed by SEXP. They are beam-freed at the start of the mission, before most of them warp in, so only one Sobek is able to fire its beams.
* Neither the [[SF Mara (Terrans)|Terran Mara]] nor the [[GVB Bakha|Bakha]] are ever "given" to the player using an allow-ship SEXP; they're only used in "scramble" missions. Nor is the [[GVB Sekhmet|Sekhmet]] "given" to the player; this ship is the only Terran or Vasudan fighter/bomber in FS2 that the player never has a chance to fly in the main single-player campaign. Note that you have a chance to fly the [[GTF Pegasus|Pegasus]] only once, in [[Endgame]].
* The player is granted the Cyclops#short before [[Slaying Ravana]]. The player actually uses Cyclops#shorts until the [[The King's Gambit]]; he is never granted the "real" [[GTM Cyclops|Cyclops]], but uses it anyway for [[The King's Gambit]].
* The FS2 techroom animation for Sol shows the Earth facing "backwards" and rotating the wrong way.
* The amount of damage that a beam can inflict on a friendly is limited. On Very Easy, Easy, Medium, Hard, and Insane, the limits are 0, 5, 10, 20, and 30 damage, respectively (per every ~.2 seconds).
* The FS1 Vasudan persona is not fully voice-acted.
* In [[ships.tbl]] in both FS1 and FS2, ship names beginning with an "@" indicate a ship that was present in the demo.
* The [[FreeSpace 1 Vasudan Ship Database#HLD Prophecy|HLD ''Prophecy'']] in [[The Great Hunt]] is "Neutral". Most Hammer of Light ships are set this way in missions that also feature Shivans, to allow the two to engage each other.
* The Vasudans have no equivalent to the massive [[GTT Argo|Argo]] or [[SFr Asmodeus|Asmodeus]]. To get around this, in [[Return to Babel]] the Vasudans actually use an Argo transport named the GTT ''Qeb''. There is Volition concept art for the GVT ''Qeb'' class, which was apparently never made.
* [[As Lightning Fall]] is the only FreeSpace 2 mission with no beams mounted on any ship.
* The [[Harbinger]] missile model is reused as the tip of the [[Stiletto]] missile model.
* Mission sm3-05 in FS1 makes reference to an enigmatic "Ysusi System".
* Viewed from the side, the [[GTI Arcadia|Arcadia]] resembles the GTA logo.

==Bugs==

Software, mission design, and similar bugs.

* If you go into FRED and order a support ship to dock with you (through AI orders and not C-5), then you'll be thrown out of the game area at high velocity in an intense spin. Command will try to force you to warp out when you leave the game area, but you're stuck due to your spin.
* The FreeSpace engine's solution to complicated collision problems is to fling one of the offending objects far out of the game area, in the order of 500,000 units. It was once a minor pastime of the FreeSpace community to see how far one could be "flung" after messing around with the Orion's fighterbay.
* In [[Love the Treason...]], the jump node to [[Regulus]] is named "Regulas".
* If you fire bombs into certain fighterbays, such as the [[GTI Arcadia|Arcadia]]'s, your bombs will fly in circles until they run out of fuel and explode.
* If you name an object "planet" in FRED, and you go near the object in-game, a message will appear saying "Too close to planet. Taking damage!"
* In the command briefing animation for [[The King's Gambit]], the strategy is described in "Stage One" followed by "Stage 2".
* Sentry 04 in 'Place of Chariots' is assigned the cargo "Unable To Scan".
* The TC-TRI cargo containers carried by Capricorn wing in "The Romans Blunder" are friendly.
* The GTI Ganymede is never used in the main FS2 campaign, although it appears in a multiplayer dogfight.
* The SCv Moloch's figherbay "paths" are misplaced. It also has an incorrect turret normal on one of its bottom laser turrets that allows the Moloch to fire through itself. This is a common problem with Volition FreeSpace models. For example, the GTFr Chronos can fire straight through itself.
* The Myrmidon fighter is able to carry Helios anti-matter bombs, but not Cyclops or other heavy weaponry. This never has a chance to be noticed in the main campaign, as the player only uses Helios in scramble missions. This is widely believed to be either a data entry error or some kind of joke.
* During asteroid escort missions, note that the game only "hurls" asteroids at ships on your escort list. Therefore, you can make these missions easier by removing all friendly vessels from your escort list. It is not known if the same rule applies for hostile ships as well.

==Design Changes==

This category includes both early development decisions that were later changed, game engine changes between FS1 and FS2.

* Volition released a [[FreeSpace Alpha]] version to several reviewers before the release of FS1. The Alpha contained a stripped-down, incomplete version of FS1, with the two FS1 demo missions plus an original mission featuring the GTC ''Juggernauth''.
* According to a table file in FS2, [[Silent Threat]] had another weapon known as the "GTM-84 Corkscrew Missle", and was "deemed too wacky for final release."
* Despite what the training missions say, support ships never run out of secondary weapons.
* The Alpha version of ''Descent: FreeSpace'' had a mission consisting of escorting a Fenris/Leviathan cruiser named the Juggernath. The mission was dropped before the demo shipped.
* The SC Cain and SC Lilith cruiser originally had a different hull design, with two fin-like appendages protruding from the lower hull. These can clearly be seen in alpha/beta screenshots.
* The Prometheus was originally introduced at much earlier time (sometime around [[The Big Bang]]).
* The mission First Strike originally had an asteroid field.
* The special-issue DVD release of Descent: FreeSpace used planet bitmaps as backgrounds like in FS2, as well as afterburner trails.
* If you export the Artemis/Ares/Nephtys/Ptah/Sekhmet POF to COB, you can see that the main object is called "herca", suggesting that they were either based on or were early concepts for the Hercules Mk II.
* The Bakha bomber was originally a fighter.
* Shivan ships were originally green in color.
* The [[SD Demon]] increased in hull strength 60% between FS1 and FS2, from 100,000 to 160,000 hitpoints. This may be meant to compensate for its weaker broadside relative to the Orion (otherwise the Shivans would have no decent destroyer except Sathanas).
* The Volition website [http://www.freespace2.com/bfod.cfm] states that FS1 had a 50 point penalty for rearming (62.5 points on Insane). This feature was removed in FS2.
* In the mission [[Into the Maelstrom]], there are 2 Elysium transports named Hauler 1 and Hauler 2. They have no purpose in the mission.
* [[Clash of the Titans]] had a Fenris class cruiser designated the Gladiator. It's arrival cue was set to [[false]], however.
* In [[Their Finest Hour]], the Colossus has a complicated waypoint path, implying that it was originally meant to have a complicated and dramatic battle with the Sathanas. In the final version, the waypoints are not used and the Colossus is disabled. Command orders the Colossus to warp out even though its engines aren't working.
* The FS1 voice VP contains some "alternate" voice acting for several missions. For example, the freighter and transport dialogue during [[First Strike]] was apparently first voiced by a woman.
* The command briefing for [[Enter the Dragon]] refers to "your investigation of [[SD Lucifer|Lucifer]] at [[Antares]]". [[Alpha 1]] had not even encountered the Lucifer at that point in the campaign.
* FRED1 (the mission editor for FS1) originally had a feature known as TBL info. It is now present in FRED2_OPEN.
* The [[SD Lucifer|Lucifer]] tech description in FS1 states that it has 3 "flux" cannons. However, it only has 2. The third beam (perhaps the one used for bombarding planets) was probably meant to be mounted on the bow of the ship. (Development notes specify that a beam is to be located on each set of three red circles.)
*The high-res Lucifer model that Volition used for cutscenes has two "antennae" that are not present in the in-game model. They were probably removed for aesthetic reasons, but the non-canon HTL Lucifer re-incorporated them. Also, the high-res Lucifer has several green lights along with its red lighting which are clearly visible in the engame cutscene. Note that Shivan ships were originally intended to be green.
* Originally the first mission in Descent: FreeSpace had the player cast as part of the Orff's crew, not the Galatea's. This can be verified through breifing screenshots taken from the alpha/beta releases.
* The [[FreeSpace Reference Bible]] seems to imply that groups ships jumping in from subspace were originally intended to all come through the same "hole", rather than each ship having an individual hole. (''The pilot is soon within sight of the Terran installation. As the pilot struggles to relay his story and keep his bomber from disintegrating, many subspace holes open up in front of him, out of which streams of Shivan fighters pour.'')
* There is a sound file in the FS1 VPs called "Approach.wav" that sounds like a fighter coming in to land on its carrier. This implies that Volition initially intended there to be a landing cutscene at the end of each mission, like Wing Commander.
* The FS2 voice VP, stu_fs2.vp, contains voiceacting for an unreleased mission, M09. More information can be found on the [http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,42231.0.html Hard Light thread] on the subject.

==Renamings==

Most of these renamings were noticed in pre-release screenshots, model file names, or in FRED by looking at internal names used in the missions themselves.

* Hostile Vasudan wings were originally called "Steel", "Brass", "Iron", etc.
* Shivan wings were originally called "Cobra", "Viper", "Hornet", etc.
* The Cyclops bomb was originally named Belial.
* The Harpoon missile was originally named Crossbow. The name for the missile can clearly be seen in the FreeSpace 2 trailer.
* The Subach HL-7 laser was originally named Subach HL-33.
* The Subach HL-7 laser and Mekhu HL-7 laser were originally named Sidearm. The name SD-4 Sidearm can clearly be seen in the FreeSpace 2 trailer. Moreover, in the retail version of FreeSpace 2 the icon and animation files for the weapons are still called iconSD4 and SD4, respectively.
* The Akheton SDG laser was originally named DR-2 Scalpel. At some point during the development phase it was also known as Akheton DR-2.
* The Avenger laser was originally named Phalanx.
* The ML-16 laser was originally named Light Laser.
* The Harbinger was originally called the Mag-Pulse.
* The Interceptor was originally called the Shrike.
* The Prometheus was originally called the Flux.
* The Phoenix V was originally called the Angelfire.
* The Synaptic was originally called the Cluster.
* The MX-50 was originally called the Rockeye. The name is still present in the FreeSpace 1 demo.
* The Rockeye was originally called the Wasp.
* The GTW-83 Lamprey was originally called the Shrieker, and was later changed to GTW-83 Light Laser, before finally settling on the present name.
* The Hornet was originally called the Swarm.
* The GTW-66 Maxim Cannon was originally called the GTW-66 Newton Cannon.
* The Morning Star was originally called the Mace. Later in development the name was changed to Flail II. Ultimately, though, it was renamed Morning Star.
* The Hornet was originally called the Bombardier.
* NTF wings were originally called "Corsair", etc.
* Admiral Khafre's name was originally Admiral Hepsut ([[Surrender, Belisarius]])
* The GTD ''Aquitaine'' was originally named the GTD ''Intrepid''.
* The GTD ''Galatea'', was originally named the ITA ''Repulse'' ([[FreeSpace Reference Bible]]).
* The SJ ''Sathanas'' was originally named ''Apocalypse''. If you look at your event log after completing [[A Monster in the Mist]], you can still see a goal named "Scan Apocalypse Subsystems".
* The GTFr ''Chronos'' was originally named ''Boar''.
* The GVF ''Tauret'' was originally named ''Crab''.
* The SF ''Dragon'' was originally named ''Mosquito''.
* The Avenger Prototype was originally named Mass Driver Prototype.
* Shivan wings were also originally named "Scab Alpha", "Scab Beta", etc.
* For a long time the Apollo fighter was called ''SF-XX Generic Fighter''.
* In the [[FreeSpace_Alpha|Alpha]] version, the Fury Missile still used the graphics of the left-out G-13 Medium Laser. The laser weapon disappeared completely before the original FreeSpace 1 demo, and was unique to the Alpha version. (It also looks a lot like the Tsunami colored grey.)
==Cutscene quirks==

'''FreeSpace 1 Intro'''
* The "Apollo" pictured in the FS1 introduction cutscene is actually a modified version of the in-game Apollo. According to the FS1 reference bible, the Apollo in the intro cutscene is a "Terran bomber". Its gun mounts are slightly different and off-center, among other changes. Perhaps [[Volition]] placed the Apollo's gun mounts closer to the centerline for the sake of playability. The Manticore, too, has different fire points (mounted on the twin "booms" instead of centered like they are in the game).
* If you look carefully, you can see a (apparently dead) copilot in the front seat of the intro's Apollo-bomber. He is visible for less than a second. The [[FreeSpace Reference Bible]] refers to this copilot as the "gunner".
* [[GTF Hercules|Hercules]] and [[GTB Medusa|Medusa]] icons are shown on Riviera Station's radar display (although no Hercs or Medusas are visible in the cutscene).

'''Hallfight'''
* The captured Shivan vessel is called "Freighter", but it's actually an Azrael transport.

'''FreeSpace 2 Intro'''
* Many community members claim that the destroyer holed in the intro is the [[GTD Legion|GTD ''Legion'']]. However, FreeSpace 1 command briefs claim that the ''Bastion'' and ''Galatea'' are guarding Deneb, and makes no reference to any other Terran destroyers guarding the system. [[Volition]] stated that this ship was not the ''Galatea'', and the Bastion does not bite the bullet until nearly the end of FS2.
* A Shivan [[Demon|''Demon'']]-class destroyer appears after the destruction of the ''Legion'', even though the only Shivan destroyer (other than the ''Lucifer'') in the system, the [[SD Eva|''Eva'']], was already destroyed in [[Evangelist]].
* The [[Ursa]] is shown even though it was not finished with R&D until after [[Running the Gauntlet]].
* None of the [[Fenris]] cruisers had their missile launchers shown.

'''Colossus cutscene'''
* The Ganymede in the cutscene is several times bigger than normal.
* The ''Lucifer'' is smaller than normal.
* The Chronos freighters have two turrets (as opposed to the usual one), and the turrets look different.
* The Chronos freighters were either much smaller or the TTC 1 cargo much bigger.
* Mirfak is named Mirfax.
* The Galatea appears in the Colossus fleet.

=="Real Life"==

This category includes mainly business decisions, but also interesting connections between FreeSpace and RL.

* FreeSpace 1 was officially distributed as "Conflict: FreeSpace - The Great War" in Europe and "Descent: FreeSpace - The Great War" in the United States.
* The [[GTM Infyrno]] is a deliberate misspelling of Inferno, for copyright reasons.
* It's FreeSpace, not Freespace (notice the capitalization of the S).
* FreeSpace 1 is called Descent: FreeSpace in the US due to copyright issues with the disk compression utility FreeSpace.
* ''FreeSpace 2'' was originally named ''FreeSpace 2: Colossus'' (for the demo). Even before that, it was named ''FreeSpace 2: Exodus''.
* In Greek, the plural of Knossos is Knossoi, and the plural of Sathanas is Sathanai (ancient Greek) or Sathanes (modern Greek). These are loose translations; Sathanas is simply the Greek representation of the Hebrew word for Satan. Volition always circumvented the plural by using phrases such as "Sathanas juggernauts".

==Canon inconsistencies: Retail FS2 box==

Several [[canon]] inconsistencies are present on the retail FS2 box (although these inconsistencies are not generally accepted as canon themselves):

* The Deimos is listed as an AWACS ship (on the backside of the box there is written "GTA Deimos"). However, the following text specifies that the ship class is "corvette".
* The Deimos has side-mounted multipart turrets that are not present in the game, or even possible under the game engine.
* The Deimos's turrets are not firing Terran Turrets. Instead they are firing Kayser like lasers.
* Only the Perseus in front of the Deimos has engine thrusters.
* On the European version of the box, the ''Lucifer'' is visible just at the right of the first Deimos's top turret.
* On the European version of the box, the Deimos is a destroyer (the nameplate on the corvette says "..D Deimos").
* The Italian version of the box says that beam weapons can be used also by fighters, according to the blurb on the back ("Imparate a usare le armi a raggi...", "Learn to use beam weapons...").

Steadfast

Darth DySkO:

==General Info==
'''Authors:''' Giorgio "Darth DySkO", Davide "Admiral Edivad" Cucchi and Francesco "Mobius" D'Amico 
'''Missions:''' 25(in the first episode) 
'''Mods included:''' 
IPAndrew's GTBM Venom 
StratComm's GTC Hyperion 
GTD Raynor 
New weapons 
 
'''SCP Required'''

'''Inferno R1 Required'''

'''INFA Required'''

'''The campaign will not be compatible with INFA SA and INF SCP. Updates will eventually be released.'''

==Important notes==
 '''About the plot:'''
This campaign follows and alternate storyline to the one of INFR1 and episodes 2 through 4 are still open to major plot changes. As consequence, it has almost nothing to do with INF-canon.

The number of episodes is yet to be confirmed. There will probably be 5 episodes with an average 25 missions each.

 '''About the missions:'''
The campaign will feature take off and landing cutscenes plus normal cutscenes set during the missions. A number of cutscenes ranging from 5 to 10 will separate the focal parts of the storyline. In addition to all these features, there will also be squadrons of enemy aces to defeat. Each pilot of the squadrons had his/her own description, but we have then decided to limit small biographies to squadron leaders only. The squadrons will be tough enemies to defeat since they have their own, effective strategies and are boosted thanks to advanced SEXPs and FRED settings such as special hitpoints.

==Story==
Following the construction of the GTI Melia, the GTVA has contacted the Earth Alliance, a powerful entity that rules in Sol. Many treaties have been consequently signed between the two Alliances, that started to develop new technologies and share members of the military forces. The symbol of the Alliance is the GTCa Steadfast, a massive supercarrier built in the outer orbit of Earth and armed with state of the art weapons. The best squadrons of both Alliances are based on the Steadfast, making it a fearsome presence in any kind of environment. Many small rebellions have been stopped by the Steadfast, that forced all potential hostiles to surrender without problems and without using a single shot.

The best GTVA squadron based on the carrier is the 35th Black Eagles, formed aboard the GTD Aquitaine when the 70th Blue Lions has been disbanded. Thanks to its carismatic Squadron Leader, the 35th is vital for the sake of the GTVA. The player will take the role of Beta 1 in this squadron. Unlike what most people say, the squadron isn't composed only from old pilots who fought the NTF and the Shivans: there are many young pilots passed through years of expensive training.

The construction of the GTI Melia combined to the construction of a new, competitive fleet able to face the Shivans required the sacrifice of all citizens of the GTVA. The highest authorities decided to recycle unused, retired or damaged craft and weapons to save money. Following the complete success of the Genesis project, thanks to which Vasuda Prime became habitable once again, the Vasudans left the Altair system and radically reduced their presence in the Aldebaran system. The GTVA chose the Altair system to build a massive scrapyard, ASC. With false promises of retribution and richness, many hundred thousands citizens of the GTVA moved to this system to work at the scrapyards. The conditions were bad, too bad, and whoever moved to Altair remained imprisoned there. Hundreds, if not thousands of workers died because of releases of toxic gas coming from scrapped craft and other terrible accidents.

The population of Altair started to hate the GTVA and its new ally, the EA. Under the command of Admiral Hugh Van Eyck, the population rebelled and formed the "Altair Phoenixes" or AP. The rebels, moved by anger, wanted the annihilation of the GTVA and the EA. In a matter of days, they prepared their fleet to attack the Aldebaran system, where a consistent Vasudan fleet was based.

The AP fleet is fearsome and is oftentimes more competitive than a regular GTVA fleet. Thanks to superb modifications, Amazon drones, old Athena bombers, Fenris cruisers equipped with explosives and other old units can break through the most advanced and modern defenses. Thanks to worrying and suspicious coincidences, the APs control powerful ships like the Raynor destroyers and many EA assets. AP pilots don't fear their opponents and many of them appear to be very expert NTF, GTVA and even EA veterans who decided to defect to the rebel cause.

What worries the GTVA, however, is the fact that Altair and Aldebaran were once colonized by the Ancients and most manufacts were still to be found, so it is probable that the AP can develop ships and weapons based on Ancient technology. Many other things don't have a valid explanation and people are starting to consider the rebellion as something planned decades before, otherwise the presence of survived NTF officers, many GTBM Venom-class cruise missiles, advanced assets and EA personnel born in colonies that once fought against Mars and Earth can't be explained. Investigations are in progress.

Following the victory in Aldebaran, where the AP sustained only a few casualties and managed to decimate the Vasudan fleet present in that system, the GTVA has decided to react. The Steadfast has reached the Alpha Centauri system. The survivors of Aldebaran and the population of Alpha Centauri itself are to be evacuated. The presence of the Steadfast is a comfortating one and the most optimistic officers estimate the complete defeat of the rebels in less than two weeks...

==Delays==
The release of ''Steadfast'' has been delayed to an unknown date since missions, cutscenes and extended table files result very complex need time to complete. In addition, the main team members are all Italian so an intense work of grammarchecking is required.
