'''Very Large Green Beam''' is a beam used by the [[Terrans]] in the [[Portal:Freespace 2|Freespace 2]]

The [http://www.gamers.org/docs/FAQ/bfgfaq/#1A BFG 90000] also happens to be the name of the most powerful weapon in Doom.

{{FS12_Weapons}}
==Description==
Terran anti-capital ship beam weapon

==Performance==
===Statistics===
{{Beam|4 000|35|4|Direct|1|10 450|41 800}}

==Notes==
The BFGreen is not used in canon Freespace 2. It was going to be used as standard armament on the Colossus before the Colossus was rebalanced by Volition.

===Veteran Comments===
{{Comment|I'm fairly sure I know what the "F" in "BFGreen" stands for, and it isn't "very." Vastly deadlier than the [[BGreen]], it is apparently what results when beam cannons are overdriven, as it happened it [[High Noon]]. They do the third most sustained damage / second, falling behind the [[MjolnirBeam]] and the completely overpowering [[BFRed]].

This beam is massive, no arguments about that. The size of the beam is one reason why I dare not fly too close to the Colossus in High Noon. I readily admit, however, that the sound it gives off is pretty awesome.

Funnily enough, no ship comes standard with this weapon. All occurrences of this gun are via FRED.}}

Advanced Warning And Control System

2006-12-03T04:26:01Z

Thesizzler:

'''Advance Warning and Control System''', more commonly known simply as '''AWACS''' is a piece of equipment which only special ship classes have. In FreeSpace, the [[GTA Charybdis|GTA ''Charybdis'']] and the [[GVA Setekh|GVA ''Setekh'']] are considered AWACS ships. They give the following advantage to all friendly targets:
*better beam weapon accuracy
*detection of stealth fighters and bombers
*blocking communication and often confuse radars
*enables confused radars to properly detect enemy craft

==Notes to mission designers==
The AWACS ship should lose its ability after its radar dome is destroyed. You have to manually script it in your Events Menu. Use the [[is-subsystem-destroyed-delay]] and the [[set-awacs-radius]] commands to do this.

NTF Boadicea

2006-11-30T02:37:20Z

Thesizzler: /* Veteran Comments */

The '''NTF ''Boadicea''''' was originally an asteroid in the [[Deneb]] system. During a depot raid, a wing from the [[53rd Hammerheads]] picked up an unusual signal and moved to investigate. Their signal turned out to be this half-breed of a shipyard and a really big rock. Shortly afterwards, the asteroid splintered, revealing it's deadly cargo: the [[NTF Iceni|NTF ''Iceni'']], a unique vessel constructed to the plans of the traitorous [[Famous Persons|Admiral Bosch]] within the asteroid. Shortly thereafter, the ''Iceni'' jumped out and was able to escape the Deneb, easily escaping an unusually poor attempt at blockade.

==Description:==

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
Hidden NTF asteroid base.

===Developer Notes===
None

===Veteran Comments===
''It's an [[NTF Iceni|Iceni]] with destroyable rocks all over it, not much more to say... has a good amount of [[Terran Turret]]s I suppose.''

'' Very, very ugly. ''
