'''GTW-7 Banshee'''

{{FS12_Weapons}}
{{shipimage|image=[[Image:Banshee.gif]]|caption=The GTW-7 Banshee}}

==Tech Room Data==
An electromagnetic weapon - sends rapid pulses of exceptionally strong electromagnetic energy resulting in a 1.63 x 105 J blast that forces its way through any known shield technology and produces a dramatic shearing effect which quickly destroys the target ship's materials - named for the fact that in an atmosphere, the pulse creates an atmospheric disturbance similar to a quasi-human scream at 140 dB - uses up a tremendous amount of available ship energy - already, it is has been used by many GTA fighter aces and test pilots as a coup de grace, although such a use for this massively powerful offensive weapon is officially viewed as poor sportsmanship by the GTA.

The GTW-7's impressive anti-shielding capabilities make it the weapon of choice against the Shivans. The main limitation of this weapon is low weapons compatibility. It can only be fitted on a GTF Valkyrie or a GTF Hercules.

===Veteran Comments===
{{Comment|The Banshee's higher energy requirements, extremely slow firing rate in paired banks, and lower hull damage are, in general, not worth the added shield-stripping punch when compared to the Prometheus. At the very least the Banshee requires being paired with a more powerful anti-hull cannon, or missiles like the Hornet or Interceptor.

The only primary weapon with an actual value matched to it. The yield is 163 kJ, which is about equivalent to about nine .50 BMG rounds, and several orders of magnitude below the yields stated for the missiles.

The Banshee is useful for Shivan vessels with high shield to armor ratios, best when coupled with hull damaging weapons- either the [[GTW Avenger]] or the [[GTW Prometheus]], or even the [[GTM Fury]].

The addition of the Banshee to a fighter greatly increases its destructive rate against other fighter craft. The energy use is quite a bit higher than other weapons, but it's nothing you can't alleviate with good energy management. A Banshee paired with a Prometheus is probably the most powerful and versatile weapon combination in FS1. You'll also find that, in a pinch, the Banshee isn't *that* bad against hulls on its own.

Even on its own, the Banshee is lethal, though mainly to weakly armoured, heavily shielded Shivan fightercraft. If you plan to do intercept in a mission, it's not a bad idea to equip all gun banks with this, but not entirely advisable either. They are not spectacular when it comes to hitting hulls, but not horrible either.}}

GTW ML-16 Laser

2013-11-01T18:53:18Z

Wanderer: /* Statistics */

The '''ML-16''' is a [[primary weapon]] which was in heavy use before the appearance of the [[Shivans]] and their shielding technology. The ML-16 works adequately against hull and devours only a negligible amount of energy, allowing the pilot to divert more power on engines.

Since the ML-16 was designed in a "shieldless" era of both Terran and Vasudan history, it largely became inadequate against shielded targets like most Shivan fighters and bombers.

As soon as the [[GTW Avenger]] cannon became available, and produced in enough quantities, the ML-16 was replaced.

{{FS12_Weapons}}
{{shipimage|image=[[Image:Ml16.gif]]|caption=The ML-16}}

==Tech Room Data==
Argon laser weapon - uses transparent ceramic technology in order to create an optical system that is extremely durable and stable under battle conditions - provides adequate destructive damage to the hull of enemy ships by vaporizing molecular bonds at the target area and destabilizing molecular bonds across the grain of the hull material.

The GTA issues ML-16 Lasers to every fighter and bomber in service.

{{Comment|The ML-16 is an acceptable weapon at the beginning of the main campaign. Unfortunately, after shielding on fighters become common, the weapon loses its efficiency. Prefer the Avenger to this weapon.

The ML-16 is not a bad gun against unshielded targets. In fact, try using it against a Shivan cruiser hull and you will be pleasantly surprised. However, without any ability to damage shields, it really isn't a viable choice later in the campaign.

The ML-16 does less than 1/3 of the armor damage of the [[GTW Avenger]], and between 1/3 and 1/2 of its FreeSpace 2 equivalent, the [[GTW Subach HL-7]] - for the same energy. I guess the [[GTW Flail]] and the [[GTW Training Laser]] are worse on armor, but if this isn't a bad gun on unshielded targets, I don't know what is.

Since fighters with no shields obviously take less damage to destroy, the ML-16 is perfectly serviceable against them. It's not going to do much to an Orion, but surely they would have bombs even before the Tsunami.}}

GTW Prometheus

2013-11-01T18:52:57Z

Wanderer: /* Statistics */

The '''GTW-5 Prometheus''' was a [[primary weapon]] which was developed and used during the [[Great War]]. Its combination of heavy hull damage and wide compatibility made it the weapon of choice of [[GTA]] pilots during the latter parts of the Great War.

Because of the [[Destruction of the SD Lucifer|assault on the SD ''Lucifer'']] in the [[subspace]] tunnel leading from [[Delta Serpentis]] to [[Sol]], all communication from the Terran homeworld was cut off. The substances needed to produce the Prometheus cannon ceased to be available and new, retrofitted variants were made. These two cannons were the [[Prometheus R]] (Prometheus Retrofit) and the [[Prometheus S]] (Prometheus Standard).

{{FS12_Weapons}}
{{shipimage|image=[[Image:Prometheus.gif]]|caption=The GTW-5 Prometheus}}

==Tech Room Data==
Named after the Titan who gave fire to humanity, the Prometheus is a laser-based weapon - an advanced radar and X-ray tracking system lock on the target and determine the target's material structure - argon laser focused via transparent ceramic optics - the laser is generated at the destructive frequency (full out-of-phase) for the target's material structure - emitted no more than .02 ms after targeting and activation by the pilot, the Prometheus stands as one of the GTA's most effective deterrents to enemy attack, an effective form of defense for GTA pilots, and as a durable, portable, and highly destructive offensive tool.

The Prometheus works best against target hulls. Against shields, it only achieves mediocre performance. It's slow speed and high energy consumption work against it as well. However, the primary advantage of the Prometheus is that it can be equipped on almost any fighter in the GTA.

===Veteran Comments===
{{Comment|The Prometheus is the best all-around weapon you will be issued in FS1. A good gun to have, though the power requirements can be somewhat daunting on higher difficulties.

It should be noted that there are considerable differences between the original Prometheus (known in some circles as the Prometheus O) and the FreeSpace 2 [[GTW Prometheus S]]. There is debate as to which "is better", but they are definitely not the same weapon.

Never liked it myself, it's been a while since I played the original but it was either the rate of fire or its power drain to damage that never worked for me. I much preferred the Banshee, though if not available on the ship I was using then the Prometheus was a workable alternative.

The [[GTW Avenger]] is likely better in most respects, but the Prometheus does have a superior hull volley damage. Against evading targets, you may find yourself able to score a single guaranteed hit, during a very brief instant, with a several second gap between each. In this case, the superior volley damage may help finish off targets stripped of their shields more quickly. The slower rate of fire doesn't matter in such a situation, and the rate of shield damage is basically identical there as well.}}

==Name origin==
Prometheus was a Titan who stole fire from Zeus and gave it to the mortals. Prometheus's name is honored in modern culture numerous times. Most notably, and asteroid is named 1809 Prometheus and the 61st element is called Prometheum.

GTW Avenger

2013-11-01T18:47:52Z

Wanderer: /* Performance */

The '''GTW-15 Avenger Cannon''' is a [[primary weapon]] which was used during the [[Great War]]. The main advantage of this weapon was that it was the only weapon that could inflict significant damage to [[Shivan]] [[Shields|shields]] during the onset of the [[Great War]]. Its predecessor, the [[ML-16]] was ineffective against shields and had to be replaced. After the development of the [[Prometheus]], the Avenger was no longer the preferred weapon of [[GTA]] pilots.

{{FS12_Weapons}}
{{shipimage|image=[[Image:Avenger.gif]]|caption=The GTW-15 Avenger Cannon}}

==Tech Room Data==
A rapid-fire, computer-controlled radar and gun system - capable of firing at a rate of more than 4500 rounds per minute - used primarily for close-defense situations - uses closed-loop radar technology to locate, identify, and direct a stream of highly destructive 45mm projectiles to the target.

With the advent of shield technology, the GTW-15 is preferred over the ML-16 in any ship that can carry it. It's extra damage against hulls make it one of the best anti cruiser weapons. It has also proven very effective against Vasudan fighters. However, it's substandard anti-shield capabilities make it a poor choice for dogfighting Shivans, although far better than the ML-16.

===Veteran Comments===
{{Comment|''The Avenger is a fine weapon due to the lower energy demand; it is sometimes even more ideal than the Prometheus because you don't have to divert so much power to weapons and can have more energy on shields and engines.''

''This is hands-down the BEST gun in the game, even better than the Prometheus! Here's why. The damage per second on hulls is marginally lower than that of the Prometheus...the Prometheus does 86.67 per second, and the Avenger does 80 per second. Yet the surprise comes when you look at the shield damage per second. The Avenger does 54.4 and the Prometheus does 46.67! Since shields can recharge and heal, shield damage should be given higher priority over hull damage. Also, many fighters, if not all, have more shield hitpoints than hull hitpoints.''

''The Avenger also has other benefits over the Prometheus, including 100 more meters range, a higher velocity (improves accuracy on evading targets), and a faster rate of fire (becomes harder to dodge 100% due to the higher volume, even if it's not necessarily a higher damage rate as a result; great for the finishing blow).''

''As usual, the lab data isn't to be trusted in FS1, which lists the Avenger as "medium" shield damage, and the Prometheus as "very high" shield damage.''}}

SD Demon

2011-11-24T20:22:23Z

Wanderer: /* Performance: */

{{FS12_Ships}}
The '''SD ''Demon''''' is a [[Shivans|Shivan]] destroyer that was first encountered by the [[Terrans]] and [[Vasudans]] during the [[Great War]]. During that time, it was the only class of destroyer-type vessel belonging to the Shivans that accompanied the [[SD Lucifer|SD ''Lucifer'']]. While the ''Demon'' lacks the planetary bombardment capabilities, hull strength and sheath shield system of the ''Lucifer''-class, its cavernous fighterbay, capable of holding up to two fighter squadrons, as well as its numerous turrets, makes it a threat to any ship in the [[Galactic Terran Alliance]] and [[Parliamentary Vasudan Navy]].

During the [[Second Shivan Incursion]], the Shivans were known to have deployed at least one ''Demon''-class destroyer against the [[Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance]]. Skirmishes with these vessels have revealed that, in the thirty-two years since the Great War, the Shivans have strengthened the hulls of these vessels and equipped them with beam weaponry.

The ''Demon'''s most significant failing is in the placement and durability of its engine subsystem, which can be easily neutralised by a bomber strike, rendering the destroyer immobile.
{{shipimage|image=[[Image:Sddemon-old.jpg]]|caption=The SD Demon}}

==Description:==

===FS1 Tech Room Description===
While the Demon-class Destroyer is easily one of the most massive ships we have yet seen, it is not the biggest or most powerful in the Shivan armada. However, it is still quite dangerous, with a plethora of missile turrets and two full squadrons of fighters. It is suggested that these capital ships be destroyed by bombers, as all cruisers that have attempted to engage a Demon have been destroyed.

The Demon is a Class A threat in any allied system.

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
The SD Demon class of Shivan destroyers is much smaller than the Lucifer class but very heavily armed and extremely dangerous. Demons are known to carry numerous wings of fighters and bombers.

==Veteran Comments==
{{comment|The sheer number of missile batteries on a Demon can make it very annoying indeed in FS1. In FS2 these missiles are less of a threat, and the positioning of the Demon's flak guns and AAA beams makes it possible to knock out one weapon and leave much of that side of the ship defenseless. Unlike the Ravana, however, expect the Demon to take some severe punishment before it goes down. Also expect those main battery turrets to take severe punishment before being knocked out.

The Demon's hull strength increases sixty percent between FS1 and FS2. The ship's beam weaponry is relatively weak (two [[LRed]] and one [[SRed]]), so apparently [V] increased the Demon's hit points at the last minute to make it superior to the [[GTD Hecate|Hecate]] and [[GVD Hatshepsut|Hatshepsut]].

This ship is slightly less capable at taking out fighters than the [[GTD Hecate|Hecate]] and [[GVD Hatshepsut|Hatshepsut]] due to its less numerous anti-fighter turrets, but it is more capable in an anti-capital ship role than any GTVA destroyer if properly positioned.

The Demon appears to be more of a defensive destroyer, given that its main guns, the two [[LRed]]s, are not forward-facing. An easy target if attacked from the front.

Do not underestimate the firepower of this destroyer. If its front beams aren't disabled quickly, even a [[GVCv Sobek|Sobek-class]] corvette won't survive for very long in its sights. Trust me, I saw what happened to the [[FreeSpace_2_Vasudan_Ship_Database#GVCv_Thebes|Thebes]] when I failed to blow them up fast enough on the lowest difficulty level. The Demon may only have one [[SAAA]] on either side of it, but they have a full field of fire to the front and sides. Furthermore, you don't even know where they are until they hit you... and then, it may be too late. Also note that Demon-class warships tend to get disabled fairly easily because of their large and relatively weak engine subsystem, which can be neutralized by just one and a half Helios.

The Demon actually has more firepower than the Lucifer in FS2, which only has 2 SReds.

In FS1 there's a big undefended blindspot inside the "tentacles", leaving the weapons subsystem unguarded by blob turret fire. This just happens to be right next to the fighter bays, however, so be careful. In FS2 the flak batteries provide at least some cover to this area.}}

SD Ravana

2011-11-24T19:49:28Z

{{FS12_Ships}}
The '''SD ''Ravana''''' class of destroyers was first spotted in the [[Nebula System|nebula]] beyond [[Gamma Draconis]], discovered by the GTCv ''Lysander'' and the GTCv ''Actium.''

This class is probably the most powerful Shivan capital vessel, second only to the [[SJ Sathanas|SJ ''Sathanas'']] and maybe the [[SD Lucifer|SD ''Lucifer'']]. With its four forward beam cannons, it can rip through the hull of a [[GTD Hecate|GTD ''Hecate'']] or an [[GTD Orion|''Orion'']]-class destroyer in under a minute, and take out smaller vessels within seconds. Its anti-capital ship weaponry makes it a threat to any vessel, even one the size of the [[GTVA Colossus|GTVA ''Colossus'']].

Despite its formidable anti-warship armaments, the ''Ravana'' is more vulnerable to fighter and bomber attacks than its brother, the [[SD Demon|SD ''Demon'']], and its main guns are known to be extremely fragile and easily destroyed.

==Veteran Comments==
{{comment|''The Ravana is scary-looking, but it's not tough. Weaker in terms of hull strength, and MUCH weaker in terms of turret strength than the Demon, the Ravana pays for its attack-oriented design with weak defenses. Indeed, fighters and bombers can range over the front three-quarters of Ravana's upper surfaces with near-impunity, and the lower-spine-mounted SAAA beam is placed too far back to defend the Ravana's main guns. It has a flak turret and another SAAA for anyone who comes up behind it, however. A capital ship behind a Ravana, on the other hand, is the Shivan destroyer's death sentence, as its engine subsystems are not strong and cover nearly the whole rear surface of the destroyer. Paired Trebuchets to the main beams the moment one of these enters the mission, then ignore it unless directed otherwise. The Ravana appears to have been designed to jump in and immediately deliver a killing/crippling blow from its many beams.''

''In [[The Great Hunt (FS2)|The Great Hunt]] I was actually able to destroy the Ravana's main beam cannons before it fired on the [[GTCv Deimos|Deimos corvettes]], that's how weak they are. (Didn't make a difference, the corvette is destroyed by a [[SEXP]]). However, the Ravana, if used in its intended offensive role, can easily decimate a destroyer before being destroyed.''

''In a nutshell, the Ravana is useless if it is engaged from behind, and a light threat if side to side with another destroyer. This destroyer's saving grace is in its raw firepower facing forward. When deployed in a strategic position, or jumping in behind another destroyer, this beast will be your worst nightmare. Since most destroyers have their main beams facing forward and the odd lighter beam mounted aft (in the Hecate's case, two), it can dish out enough firepower to level the destroyer, and only take moderate damage. but this is only the case when the Hecate is alone. Roughly two wings of fighters, of any class, can knock out any anti-cap beam the Ravana wields and keep fighter cover on a friendly vessel. Just keep an eye on its beam cannons and you should get out all right. As stated before, the Ravana is no Demon, so it can't take as much punishment.''

''One thing worth noting about the Ravana's model is that it is glitched. The destroyer's turrets can actually shoot THROUGH it and hit you, so unless you're flanking it, there isn't much of a safe spot anywhere else.''

On the above comment, not only does the HTL Ravana shoot through by its turrets, it's almost impossible to hit anything, as half its subsystems are out in space. And on the comment above that one, Warzone is one of the few campaigns that does this ship justice. It truly inspires fear the first time the Revial jumps in. Even on the defensive, she took out a decent number of ships.

To see if the design of the Ravana was really as good or bad as people think it is, I put it on a frontal attack against an Orion's broadside. Although the Ravana did end up destroying the Orion, multiple beam hits from the Orion ended up killing the Ravana as well. Its basic design prevents it from putting out damage from the side, but from the front, it can kill anything that comes near.}}

SD Lucifer

2011-11-24T19:44:31Z

Wanderer: /* Performance: */

{{FS12_Ships}}
The '''''SD Lucifer''''' was a massive superdestroyer that led the [[Shivans|Shivan]] incursion during the [[Great War]]. Armed with two flux cannons—termed today as [[Beam weapons|beam cannons]]—the ''Lucifer'' possessed enough firepower to destroy capital ships and bombard planetary targets with ease. The vessel was rendered invulnerable to [[Terrans|Terran]] and [[Vasudans|Vasudan]] weapons through the employment of an advanced [[Shields|shield system]]. The ''Lucifer'' was responsible for the destruction of several worlds in Terran and Vasudan space, including the Vasudans' homeworld, [[Vasuda]] Prime.

Near the end of the Great War, Vasudan scientists fleeing the destruction of their homeworld discovered [[Ancient artifacts]] on a planet in the [[Altair]] system. The information enclosed in the artifacts described the technology necessary to track vessels in [[subspace]], something that neither the Terrans nor Vasudans had been able to do before. Coupled with the knowledge that [[shields]] did not function in subspace, a desperate plan was formulated to stop the ''Lucifer'' before the superdestroyer destroyed [[Sol]].

Launching from the [[GTD Bastion|GTD ''Bastion'']], a small number of fighter and bomber wings followed the ''Lucifer'' into subspace as the superdestroyer made the jump from [[Delta Serpentis]] to Sol. The gamble succeeded, with the ''Lucifer'' destroyed and Sol spared. Unfortunately, the destruction of the ''Lucifer'' within the subspace corridor had the unintended side effect of collapsing the subspace corridor from Sol to Delta Serpentis, cutting off the heart of the [[Galactic Terran Alliance]] from the rest of the universe. Nevertheless, the victory over the ''Lucifer'' effectively ended the Shivan incursion and Terran and Vasudan forces quickly evicted the remaining Shivan forces from their territories.

In the many decades following the Great War, the Terrans and Vasudans commissioned the jointly-designed [[GTVA Colossus|GTVA ''Colossus'']], which was originally designed to neutralize Shivan warships, including the ''Lucifer'', while at the same time being able to withstand multiple hits from the ''Lucifer'''s flux cannons. Ironically, no ''Lucifer''-class destroyers were ever encountered by both species again, even during the [[Second Shivan Incursion]].
{{shipimage|image=[[Image:Sdlucifer-old.jpg]]|caption=The SD Lucifer}}

==Description:==

===FS1 Tech Room Description===
The Lucifer is the greatest threat to the survival of the GTA, the PVN, and both the Terran and Vasudan species. It wields three massive Flux Cannons which can destroy one of our capital ships in a few hits. These same cannons have been seen bombarding colonized worlds. With four full fighter squadrons, and a massive array of defensive turrets, the Lucifer would be extremely difficult to destroy.

The fact that it is protected by a sheath shielding system which makes it completely impervious to any kind of kinetic or plasma damage makes it impossible to destroy. We have yet to find a way to breach this shielding technology. It is hoped that a solution will be found soon.
Assuming that a solution is found, we have managed to gather enough data on the Lucifer to destroy it. In a recon mission, we were able to determine that the Lucifer is powered by five reactors across its surface. If these reactors are destroyed in a short amount of time, the Lucifer will be stopped.

If we cannot stop the Lucifer, we do not expect to be able to defeat the Shivans.

We have no way of knowing if there are more than one Lucifer-class destroyer. However, any that exist should be considered more dangerous than a Class A threat.

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
The SD Lucifer was a massive superdestroyer that led the Shivan armada in the Great War. No weapon in the allied arsenal could penetrate the Lucifer's shields. In the Altair system, Vasudan scientists uncovered ancient artifacts that explained how to track ships into subspace, where the Lucifer's shields would not function. A desperate mission to attack the Lucifer in subspace succeeded. But the explosion of the Lucifer collapsed the Sol jump node, severing all contact with Earth. The victory over the Lucifer effectively ended the Shivan invasion.

==History==

}}
The ''Lucifer's'' first known sighting was in the [[Ross 128]] system, the prelude to the Great War with the Shivans (FS1 Intro).

The ''Lucifer'' did not reemerge until 2/11/35, when it suddenly appeared in the [[Ribos]] system, destroying the ''Tombaugh Installation'' and all its defences. Terran Command believed that it had tracked the captured Shivan Cruiser, the ''Taranis'', through subspace to the ''Tombaugh Installation'' ([[Briefing_texts_%28FS1%29#Command_Briefing_6|CB sm2-01a.fsm]] and [[Briefing_texts_%28FS1%29#Command_Briefing_8|CB sm2-05a.fsm]]).

By 2/20/35, the [[Shivans]] had completely bypassed the Terran blockades in [[Antares]] and [[Beta Aquilae]], proceeding immediately to [[Deneb]] through [[Vega]] (CB sm2-07a.fsm). Terran Command believed that the ''Lucifer'' would attack [[Vasuda]] through [[Antares]], while the ''Eva'', [[SD Demon|a Shivan Demon-class destroyer]], would attack through [[Deneb]].

However, on 2/31/35 the ''Lucifer'' was seen jumping into Deneb system from the Deneb-Vega jump node with the SD Eva taking the lead([[Playing Judas|sm2-08a.fsm]] and [[Briefing_texts_%28FS1%29#Debriefing_18|its debriefing]], [[Briefing_texts_%28FS1%29#Mission_Briefing_19|mission briefing sm2-09a.fsm]]). It is unknown whether the Lucifer jumped to Vega directly from Ribos, or through Antares (the Eva entered Vega through the Antares-Vega jumpnode).

In retaliation for the destruction of the SD Eva, the ''Lucifer'' directly confronted and destroyed the GTD Galatea (at 1900hrs 2/31/35; [[Doomsday|sm2-10a.fsm]] and [[Briefing_texts_%28FS1%29#Debriefing_20|its debriefing]], [[Briefing_texts_%28FS1%29#Command_Briefing_11|CB sm3-01a.fsm]]).

Shortly afterwards, the ''Lucifer'' made the jump to [[Vasuda]] through the Deneb-Vasuda jumpnode ([[Briefing_texts_%28FS1%29#Command_Briefing_11|CB sm3-01a.fsm]]). Once in Vasuda, 2/31/25-3/01/35, the Lucifer Fleet bombarded [[Vasuda Prime]] from orbit for 13 consecutive hours, rendering the planet uninhabitable. The 'Lucifer fleet rapidly redeployed, now searching for the Terran homeworld.

On 3/01/35-3/02/35, the ''Lucifer'' jumped to [[Beta Aquilae]], destroying the ''Beta Aquilae Installation'', but left the PVD Hope and the ''Beta Aquilae Communications Terminal'' intact ([[Briefing_texts_%28FS1%29#Mission_Briefing_23|mission briefing sm3-03a.fsm]], [[Briefing_texts_%28FS1%29#Command_Briefing_12|CB sm3-04a.fsm]]).

The ''Lucifer'' was not encountered until 3/02/35, when it jumped next to the Deneb-Altair jumpnode, deploying fighter wings to attack transports carrying scientists to the [[Altair]] system ([[Briefing_texts_%28FS1%29#Running_the_Gauntlet|sm3-05a.fsm]] and [[Briefing_texts_%28FS1%29#Debriefing_25|its debriefing]]).

By 3/29/35, after determining the location of the Sol system, the Lucifer was reported to be in the Sirius system to make the jump to [[Delta Serpentis]] ([[Briefing_texts_%28FS1%29#Command_Briefing_13|CB sm3-07a.fsm]]). GTA Command ordered the [[GTD Bastion]] to intercept and destroy the ''Lucifer'' before it could reach Sol. Admiral Shima quickly drew up plans to intercept the Lucifer at the Sirius-Delta Serpentis jumpnode. However by the time the Bastion arrived in range of the jumpnode, the Lucifer had already departed the system. Admiral Shima estimated that the ''Lucifer'' would reach Earth in 40 hours ([[Briefing_texts_%28FS1%29#Debriefing_27|Debriefing 4: sm3-07a.fsm]]).

On the GTD ''Bastion's'' final approach to the Delta Serpentis-Sol jumpnode, the ''Lucifer'' was on the brink of jumping to Sol ([[Briefing_texts_%28FS1%29#The_Great_Hunt|sm3-08a.fsm]]). The ''Bastion'' scrambled its fighters and a wing of Ursa Bombers to pursue the Lucifer into subspace. While inside the subspace corridor, the Ursa bombers managed to destroy all five of the Lucifer's reactors, resulting in the Lucifer's destruction ([[Briefing_texts_%28FS1%29#The_Great_Hunt|sm3-09a.fsm]]).

===Inconsistency===
In the Command Briefing of sm2-08a.fsm (2/31/35), Admiral Wolf indicates that Alpha 1 had investigated the Lucifer in Antares: "We have now entered the Deneb system. After your investigation of the Lucifer at Antares, Terran Command has deduced that the Shivans will be attempting a multiple pronged attack on Vasuda Prime coming from Deneb and Antares." However, Alpha 1 does not see the Lucifer in Antares, nor does Alpha 1 play a mission "investigating" the ''Lucifer'' in Antares. It may be that the mission designer incorrectly meant Alpha 1's investigation of the ''Eva'' in Antares near the Antares-Vega Jump Node (which jumped out shortly after its arrival; sm2-06a.fsm).

==Developer Notes==

==Name Origin==
The name "Lucifer" is of Latin origin. It's composed by the name ''lux'', which means ''light'', and the verb ''ferre'', which has many meanings (in this case ''bringing'' and ''bearing'' fit well). The meaning of the name would be ''"Bringer/Bearer of Light"''.

Lucifer is a fallen angel who was cast out of heaven after losing The War of Heaven. Lucifer is said to be the enemy of God, and the embodiment of evil.

Lucifer is also depicted sometimes as being the judge of the Inferno, answering to Satan himself. It is said that the demonic persona Belial was his father. It's highly probable that Dante Alighieri's vision of Lucifer affected the popular vision, too. Dante represented it as a monster with three heads devouring the traitors Judas, Brutus and Cassius.

Lucifer was also one of the names given to the planet Venus, when it was thought to be a star. Other given names depending on its position were Hesperos and Phosphoros and, of course, the Shepherd's Star.

==Veteran Comments==
{{Comment|''Very deadly in FS1, but in FS2 its [[Shivan Super Laser]]s have been replaced with [[SRed]]s, making it more of a heavily armored target and less of a superdestroyer.''

''FREDders should be aware that, except for the FreeSpace Port version of the FS1 main campaign, the ''Lucifer'' has no such thing as a shield. It's invulnerable because it has the Invulnerable flag turned on (Ship Editor -- Misc).''

''Cutscenes and command briefing videos feature the Lucifer having a pair of "horns" sticking out on its top. Yet in FreeSpace 1 and retail FreeSpace 2, no such things are encountered on the Lucifer at all. However, they are added on in the MediaVPs.''

''The MediaVPs model also includes a two extra turrets which are unused by default and appear as decorations (you can't even target them). These are the side-mounted "claw" beams seen in the cutscenes and command briefing animations, occasionally referred to as the "bombardment beams" it used to bombard Vasuda Prime. They can be activated by a simple table edit if you choose to do so for your mod, giving the Lucifer a bit more bite.

''There is some debate as to whether the Lucifer's invincibility shielding would be able to stand against an FS2-era ship with beam weapons. It would appear not, as the GTVA specifically constructed the Colossus to stop a second Shivan invasion. This implies they expected it to defeat the Lucifer.''

''Its four missile launchers (2 FighterKillers and 2 cluster missile launchers) are the Lucifer's primary means of defense against fighters. It just doesn't have enough Shivan Turret Lasers to cover its whole area.''}}

SFr Asmodeus

2011-11-21T07:57:45Z

Wanderer: update

{{FS12_Ships}}
The '''SFr ''Asmodeus''''' is a [[Shivans|Shivan]]-designed freighter. Among the three Shivan freighter classes encountered by the [[Terrans]] and [[Vasudans]], the ''Asmodeus'' is the most durable of the three, with almost twice as much hull plating as the [[SFr Mephisto|SFr ''Mephisto'']] and the [[SFr Dis|SFr ''Dis'']], as well as the most heavily armed. Nevertheless, it still poses little threat to combat vessels, even fighters, except in large groups.
{{shipimage|image=[[Image:Sfrasmodeus-old.jpg]]|caption=The SFr Asmodeus}}

==Description:==

===FS1 Tech Room Description===
Almost no data is available on the Asmodeus freighter. We are aware that it has a strong hull and four turrets. Any further data on this ship should be immediately delivered to Terran Intelligence.

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
Little is known about the SFr Asmodeus line of freighters. With a strong hull and four weapon turrets, they are the most dangerous Shivan freighters to attack. Nothing is known of the cargo Asmodeus freighters commonly carry.

===Developer Notes===

===Name origin===
Asmodeus is a demon that appears in several Talmudic literary works. He is sometimes referred to as the demon of passion.

===Veteran Comments===
{{comment|''Slightly tougher than the [[SFr Mephisto]] but with a larger profile, harder to destroy before the freighter jumps.'' 
''Oddly enough, it comes with a Disruptor in FS1, which is at best a waste of a turret for a freighter.
''Big, bulky, slow, and probably the worst nightmare of an escorting Shivan fighter wing. These things hold their cargo in a weird position where you could easily ram it off. The ship's only saving grace is the flak cannon in FS2, though it's not nearly enough to deter anything larger than a Pegasus.

It looks easy to kill from its weak turret coverage, but the truth is the Asmodeus is actually the Shivan freighter most likely to survive having an angry Herc spewing missiles go afterburning past because of its superior durability. Like the Terran Chronos, it is feebly armed but sturdy enough not to explode when sneezed on by an Athena.}}

GTD Orion

2011-09-09T13:31:32Z

Wanderer:

{{FS12_Ships}}
The '''GTD ''Orion''''' was a standard Terran destroyer mainly used during the [[Terran-Vasudan War]], and later in the [[Great War]]. Because of the massive size of this ship, it incited fear into civilians, and therefore the [[Galactic Terran Alliance|Galactic Terran Alliance (GTA)]] did not send its ''Orion'' destroyers outside war zones. It was said that "Where these ships wander, war is certain to follow." ([[FreeSpace Reference Bible]])

After the development of [[beam weapons]] and the ushering-in of the [[GTCv Deimos|''Deimos''-class corvette]] and [[GTD Hecate|''Hecate''-class destroyer]] into service, the [[Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance|Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance (GTVA)]] began to gradually replace all remaining ''Orion''-class destroyers in service with these new ships.

During the [[NTF Rebellion]], a number of ''Orion''-class destroyers defected to the [[Neo-Terran Front]]. Many of these ships were ultimately destroyed.

==Description:==
{{shipimage|image=[[Image:Gtdorion-old.jpg]]|caption=The GTD Orion}}
===FS1 Tech Room Description===
The Orion is the capital ship of the GTA. Measuring a frightening 2.1 kilometers in length, the cost to build one of these far outweighs the cost of paying the crew of this ship for 3 years. There is no more important symbol of Terran Pride than a ship like the Galatea or the Intrepid cruising past a colonized planet, patrolling the system and ensuring safety. In the course of the 14 year war, very few of these have ever been lost, making the destruction of an Orion a truly horrible defeat.

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
For over 30 years, the GTD Orion class was the largest ship in the Terran-Vasudan armada. Over two kilometers in length, bristling with dozens of death-dealing turrets, the Orion is as awesome in repose as it is in battle. All GTVA Orions have been retrofitted with the latest anti-warship beam weapons, as well as flak and AAA turrets for dealing with fighters and bombers. The Orion's cavernous hangar bays easily accommodate more than two dozen fighter or bomber wings.

However, all of the NTF Orions have either appeared in-game or have been shown in a Command Briefing to be an Orion-class, with the exception of the ''[[NTD Jacobus|Jacobus]]''.

==Veteran Comments==
{{Comment|
''Despite the introduction of the new Hecate class of destroyers, the aging Orion still remains a vital part of the GTVA arsenal. With the Hecate designed with an emphasis on protection from fighter and bomber attacks, the Orion remains the king of capital ship combat - With heavy beam emplacements capable of laying down devastating fire in nearly all directions, it is a true terror to any capital ship that strays into its firing range.''

''However, its age does show in one area. Being designed in an era where fighter and bomber ordnance was far inferior to today's weaponry and where shields were nonexistent, it carries very few dedicated anti-fighter turrets, making it an easy target for bomber wings should it ever be left without fighter escort.''

''The Orion only carries eight squadrons of fighters to the [[GTD Hecate|Hecate's]] twelve, but has massively more firepower, arranged better on its hull. The [[GTD Bastion]], however, canonically lists ten squadrons, it must be assumed that these are not full squadrons (twelve fighters per full squadron) or that the Bastion is not a typical Orion.''

''Great at eliminating capital ships. Those 6 anti-warship beams are nothing to laugh at. Rather vulnerable to enemy fighter craft but not as badly as people give it credit for. However, if you needed proof all warships over cruiser size need flak cannons, this would be it. The laser turrets cover long-range bomb destruction fairly well, but without flak, bombers could simply go closer and then let loose''

''It is worth noting that not all the canonical Orions in FreeSpace 2 mount standard weaponry, at least one (the NTD Uhuru) mounts [[Standard Flak|Flak Guns]] on its upper turrets. This may have happened due to balancing issues, anyway.''

''If you're looking for a true descendant of ''HMS Dreadnaught ''in FS, put the Orion at the top of the list. Under ideal conditions it can bring two BGreens and two TerSlash to bear on a target; the heaviest broadside any GTVA destroyer can muster. Be aware that in practice presenting this broadside to another destroyer is quite dangerous; the side of the ship without a fighterbay has no non-heavy-beam turrets, and the other side has only a single blob. AAAf's and sufficent blobs to intercept multiple inbound bombs are mounted only on the upper and lower surfaces of the hull, so attack from or protect the sides of the ship.''

''One thing worth noting is that the tech description is a bald-faced lie: the Orion does not have "dozens" of turrets. The fact is that it has a dozen and one third turrets. While this lack of turrets does not compromise its ability against capital ships, the same cannot be said against a fighter assault.''

''In FreeSpace 2, the Orion is basically a capital ship killer. Its three heavy beam cannons (as well as several slasher beams for fire support) provide an excellent perimeter of defense for the ship. However, I believe it is still outmatched by the [[Hatshepsut]] in two ways; one, the Hatshepsut can focus more firepower, making it a worthy opponent even for the deadly [[SD Ravana]]; two, the Hatshepsut has 35% more hitpoints. Though the Orion outranks the Hecate in anti-capital firepower, it packs a tragically poor anti-bomber armament; a single dedicated heavy bomber pilot can take out the Orion. Though it has less anti-bomber firepower than the Hecate, it more than compensates for its lethargic heavy beam weaponry.''}}

GTF Loki

2011-09-09T13:23:43Z

Wanderer:

{{FS12_Ships}}
{{shipimage|image=[[image:Gtfloki-old.jpg]]|caption=The GTF Loki}}
The '''GTF ''Loki''''' is a [[Terrans|Terran-designed]] fighter that was used by rogue [[Galactic Terran Intelligence]] forces during the [[Hades Rebellion]]. Its hull and reactor were specially designed to make it invisible to nearly all forms of detection sensors. However, a minor flaw in its design, discovered shortly after the destruction of the [[GTD Krios|GTD ''Krios'']], completely nullified the ''Loki'''s stealth capabilities, reducing it into a heavily armed reconnaissance fighter. It later became an staple part of the [[NTF]]'s fighter forces during the [[NTF Rebellion]]. Its high speed, weapons compatibility, and maneuverability is offset by its low armor and weapons capacity.

==Description:==

===FS1 Tech Room Description===
Designed by GTI engineers, the GTF Loki is undoubtedly the best reconaissance craft in Terran or Vasudan service. Its hull shape and shielded reactor chamber lends itself to providing a low sensor profile, and is yet capable of very high speed maneuvers. Its relatively light armament and low armor rating make it unsuitable for extended firefights, however.

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
The GTF Loki is designated as a fighter, but it's more of a heavy reconnaissance craft. The Loki's micro-roughened hull and shielded exhaust chamber give it an extremely reduced profile to detection sensors. This makes it ideal for reconnaissance and infiltration missions that rely on stealth rather than firepower. Lacking the weaponry and armor to survive prolonged battles, the Loki can usually stay alive long enough for its high maneuverability and speed to discourage pursuers. Lokis are widely used by NTF forces.

===Developer Notes===
High max velocity offset by its tiny payload. High weapon capacity.

===Name origin===
The demonic figure of Loki is commonly believed to be the god of chaos in Germanic and Scandinavian myths. There are numerous stories about Loki, many depicting him differently, and contradicting each other in other aspects, too.

{{Comment|''It is not terribly fast by FS2 standards, and it has very low missile capacity. The primary reason to prefer the Loki over the Perseus is its extreme maneuverability.''

''The Loki was never a superior fighter. It suffers from a small secondary capacity and weak shielding. In Silent Threat it was only marginally superior to the [[GTF Valkyrie|Valkyrie]], and then only in a dogfight. In FS2 it is in over its head against the second-generation GTVA fighters. In its defense, it was intended to be a stealth fighter, so comparison to the [[GTF Pegasus|Pegasus]] might have been more appropriate, but it is left wanting in that comparison as well.''

''Although maneuverable, it lacks the firepower and protection of the [[GTF Myrmidon|Myrmidon]] or [[GTF Hercules Mark II|Hercules Mark II]].''

''Most players look upon this craft as inferior to any other fighter. This could be true, but anyone who does not rely only on secondaries can use this craft pretty to good effect. It can carry the UD-8 Kayser and its gun points are positioned for easy aiming. You can easily hit medium-sized fighters with all four shots loosed with each pull of the trigger. It is also very small and fast, making it a good interceptor, if you are of a kind who does not use secondaries often.''

''The Loki is consistently underrated. Many players don't realize that the Loki is actually tougher and speedier than the [[GTF Ulysses|Ulysses]]. Gun points are also well placed.''

''The Loki is a surprisingly capable interceptor. It functions much like a slightly heavier Valkyrie. Afterburner velocity is the second highest for anything you get to fly, and afterburner reserves are not bad either. It is fairly durable as well, and as noted above, configuration of the gun points is comfortable. However, maximum normal velocity is too low for my tastes, and the sole secondary bank is too small. I'd prefer to take a Perseus instead.''

''This was good back in FS1, and it's still a decent ship. It's lost some of its advantage in FS2 due to better shielding and armor on the newer fighters, but the Loki is still a force to be reckoned with in the hands of an experienced dogfighter. It can truly be infuriating to have these swarming on you if they've got good pilots, as it's the [[SF Dragon|Dragon]] of the GTVA, however, the AI does not effectively utilize the ship's capabilities.''

''The Loki isn't as terrible craft as many people think and has only slightly weaker armor and better shields than a [[GTF Perseus|Perseus]]. It is extremely maneuverable, has a fast afterburner, and surprisingly high weapons compatibility for a recon fighter. Due to its small missile bank and low normal speed, most take a Perseus over this if it's available, but if I'm going to be packing [[GTW UD-8 Kayser|Kaysers]] or the [[GTW Prometheus S|Prometheus S]] I want something with a stronger reactor. Surprisingly, the Loki has a better recharge rate than the Perseus. This is what the [[GTF Myrmidon|Myrmidon]] should have been, a space superiority fighter.''

''The Loki supports a surprisingly wide and powerful range of guns for its size—a [[GTW UD-8 Kayser|Kayser]] and a [[GTW Maxim|Maxim]] allow it some great firepower and flexibility, as you can pick off subsystems and turrets from out of a capital ship's range to support friendly capital ships (taking out beam cannons or the weapons control system is good!), or you can use two Kaysers to just ''annihilate'' any fighter that dares look down on you. Early on I generally pack two Subachs and set them to dual fire, occasionally dropping all power out of Weapons, as the Loki's capacitors can support quite a lot of Subach fire. ''

''It's also worth noting that the GTF Loki has a decent recharge rate and can support a pair of Kaysers decently well so long as you have at least some power to weapons, although the battery will drain fast otherwise. My other favorite trick is to pair this off with a GTW Maxim - use short bursts of the Maxim to disable a capital-class target's subsystems from long range, and use your Kaysers to shred enemy fighters. You'll pack enough firepower to make your otherwise overlooked scout craft into a formidable combatant thanks to its high speed!''}}

GTF Hercules

2011-09-09T13:19:39Z

Wanderer: missed a line

{{FS12_Ships}}
{{shipimage|image=[[Image:Gtfhercules-old.jpg]]|caption=The GTF Hercules}}
The '''GTF ''Hercules''''' (nicknamed "The Big Momma") was first introduced during the [[Great War]] and flew several successful missions against the [[Shivans]], becoming the mainstay of Terran forces during the Great War.

The [[Neo-Terran Front]] was known to have used large numbers of these ships during [[NTF Rebellion|their rebellion]].

The replacement of this class was the [[GTF Hercules Mark II|GTF ''Hercules Mark II'']] with increased agility and secondary loadout at the expense of having only four primary guns.

The [[FreeSpace Reference Bible]] states that a wing of four ''Hercules'' fighters at some point took out a [[GVC Aten|Vasudan ''Aten'' cruiser]]. Since in-game information explicates that the ''Hercules'' was designed during the Great War, this cruiser was probably under the control of the [[Hammer of Light]].

==Description:==
===FS1 Tech Room Description===
The GTF Hercules is the slowest and most unmanageable fighter in the fleet. This is offset, however, by its overpowering weaponry and shielding. It carries 6 primary weapons, as well as two full secondary banks. This heavy assault fighter is best suited for small target attacks and bomber escort.

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
The old workhorse of the Terran fleet, the Hercules is a beloved but aging design. It was the mainstay of the Terran forces during the Great War, but it is slowly being phased out of the modern fleet. As they are replaced by Herc IIs, Myrmidons, and other recent designs, Hercules fighters are increasingly relegated to training and guard duties far from the front lines. Pilots who've flown Hercs for years love the ship's heavy armor and firepower and have learned to compensate for its low speed and poor maneuverability. The old Hercs are still widely used by NTF forces.

===Developer Notes===
Low max velocity offset by its tremendous offensive capabilities. High weapon capacity.

===Name origin===
Hercules is the Latin name for Herakles, son of Zeus. Hercules is a symbol of masculinity and action. He was an esteemed and powerful warrior, and it is said that "he made the world safe for mankind."

{{Comment|The best way to use this fighter in FS2 is to load the quads with Kaysers and the dual with Maxim and the first bank of missiles with Harpoons and the second with Hornets. That way, you will win a lot of bomber and cruiser kills in the last mission. The Maxim and Hornets should be used on the cruisers, while the Kaysers and Harpoons on bombers. The GTF Hercules was, to me, better than the mark 2.

''I would say this is an okay fighter during the first Great War, but during FS2, it has become outdated. It has six gun points, so it has reasonable firepower, but that firepower is offset by its slow speed and 'blockiness'. During FS1, it was a decent fighter, but it has been replaced by the [[GTF Hercules Mark II]] and the [[GTF Myrmidon]] in FS2. I like this a little better than the newer GTF Hercules Mark II, because of its firepower, but there is almost always a better ship to use in FS2.''

''I like this fighter. It may be old in FS2, but it's better than some of the newer craft, such as the Myrmidon. It doesn't have the maneuverability, speed, armor, or capacity of its newer version, but it has more and better placed gun points, and a still large missile capacity. In addition, it shares the same general compatibility with virtually all available weapons.''

''I have always felt that the old Herc is far superior to the Herc 2 in terms of firepower and in general in fulfilling its role as assault fighter. If anything, the [[GTF Ares|Ares]] is the true successor to this fighter. In FS1 you could take on literally anything in one of these, and the Herc 2 pales in comparison with the original.''

''The Herc II has 25 extra hull points, 10 extra shielding points, 50% more secondary capacity and has a normal speed 5 m/s faster than the Herc I, at the expense of two primary gunmounts. Personally I think the gunmounts are worth it, but it all comes down to playstyle, really.''

'' The main issue I have with the Herc I is the placement of the set of 4 gun mounts. Those are difficult to hit other fighters with, leaving the other set of 2 gun mounts that are useful in a dogfight. The other issue is that, in my experience, it has a tendency to take more damage than a Herc II due to its shape, especially from the rear.''

''Generally speaking, in [[Portal:FreeSpace 2|FreeSpace 2]] I prefer the Herc II for its larger secondary capacity, smaller target profile and slightly higher durability or the Myrmidon for its superior maneuverability, greater adaptability, and equal firepower. In [[Portal:FreeSpace 1|FreeSpace 1]], however, nothing can take out a [[SB Seraphim|Seraphim]] like a Hercules with quad [[GTW Avenger|Avengers]] and a pair of [[GTW Banshee|Banshees]]. This fighter has some obvious weaknesses. Its large target profile, low speed, and low maneuverability combined with its widely distributed gun points, make it a bad choice to dogfight fast, maneuverable vessels like the [[SF Dragon|Dragons]]. If confronted by a similarly small, highly maneuverable opponent when in this fighter, don't hesitate to empty your missiles on them.

''I personally hate this ship. It handles like a potato, and lacks top speed, as well as a sufficient afterburner reserve. I would choose anything over this ship. Although it has high weapons compatability, why equip it with the best weapons if you're always too slow to line up to make a shot? The best way to use this ship is to stay in one place, on top of a friendly ship, and pretend you're a sentry gun.''}}

The replacement of this class was the [[GTF Hercules Mark II|GTF ''Hercules Mark II'']] with increased agility and secondary loadout at the expense of having only four primary guns.

The [[FreeSpace Reference Bible]] states that a wing of four ''Hercules'' fighters at some point took out a [[GVC Aten|Vasudan ''Aten'' cruiser]]. Since in-game information explicates that the ''Hercules'' was designed during the Great War, this cruiser was probably under the control of the [[Hammer of Light]].

==Description:==
===FS1 Tech Room Description===
The GTF Hercules is the slowest and most unmanageable fighter in the fleet. This is offset, however, by its overpowering weaponry and shielding. It carries 6 primary weapons, as well as two full secondary banks. This heavy assault fighter is best suited for small target attacks and bomber escort.

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
The old workhorse of the Terran fleet, the Hercules is a beloved but aging design. It was the mainstay of the Terran forces during the Great War, but it is slowly being phased out of the modern fleet. As they are replaced by Herc IIs, Myrmidons, and other recent designs, Hercules fighters are increasingly relegated to training and guard duties far from the front lines. Pilots who've flown Hercs for years love the ship's heavy armor and firepower and have learned to compensate for its low speed and poor maneuverability. The old Hercs are still widely used by NTF forces.

===Developer Notes===
Low max velocity offset by its tremendous offensive capabilities. High weapon capacity.

===Name origin===
Hercules is the Latin name for Herakles, son of Zeus. Hercules is a symbol of masculinity and action. He was an esteemed and powerful warrior, and it is said that "he made the world safe for mankind."

{{Comment|The best way to use this fighter in FS2 is to load the quads with Kaysers and the dual with Maxim and the first bank of missiles with Harpoons and the second with Hornets. That way, you will win a lot of bomber and cruiser kills in the last mission. The Maxim and Hornets should be used on the cruisers, while the Kaysers and Harpoons on bombers. The GTF Hercules was, to me, better than the mark 2.

''I would say this is an okay fighter during the first Great War, but during FS2, it has become outdated. It has six gun points, so it has reasonable firepower, but that firepower is offset by its slow speed and 'blockiness'. During FS1, it was a decent fighter, but it has been replaced by the [[GTF Hercules Mark II]] and the [[GTF Myrmidon]] in FS2. I like this a little better than the newer GTF Hercules Mark II, because of its firepower, but there is almost always a better ship to use in FS2.''

''I like this fighter. It may be old in FS2, but it's better than some of the newer craft, such as the Myrmidon. It doesn't have the maneuverability, speed, armor, or capacity of its newer version, but it has more and better placed gun points, and a still large missile capacity. In addition, it shares the same general compatibility with virtually all available weapons.''

''I have always felt that the old Herc is far superior to the Herc 2 in terms of firepower and in general in fulfilling its role as assault fighter. If anything, the [[GTF Ares|Ares]] is the true successor to this fighter. In FS1 you could take on literally anything in one of these, and the Herc 2 pales in comparison with the original.''

''The Herc II has 25 extra hull points, 10 extra shielding points, 50% more secondary capacity and has a normal speed 5 m/s faster than the Herc I, at the expense of two primary gunmounts. Personally I think the gunmounts are worth it, but it all comes down to playstyle, really.''

'' The main issue I have with the Herc I is the placement of the set of 4 gun mounts. Those are difficult to hit other fighters with, leaving the other set of 2 gun mounts that are useful in a dogfight. The other issue is that, in my experience, it has a tendency to take more damage than a Herc II due to its shape, especially from the rear.''

''Generally speaking, in [[Portal:FreeSpace 2|FreeSpace 2]] I prefer the Herc II for its larger secondary capacity, smaller target profile and slightly higher durability or the Myrmidon for its superior maneuverability, greater adaptability, and equal firepower. In [[Portal:FreeSpace 1|FreeSpace 1]], however, nothing can take out a [[SB Seraphim|Seraphim]] like a Hercules with quad [[GTW Avenger|Avengers]] and a pair of [[GTW Banshee|Banshees]]. This fighter has some obvious weaknesses. Its large target profile, low speed, and low maneuverability combined with its widely distributed gun points, make it a bad choice to dogfight fast, maneuverable vessels like the [[SF Dragon|Dragons]]. If confronted by a similarly small, highly maneuverable opponent when in this fighter, don't hesitate to empty your missiles on them.

''I personally hate this ship. It handles like a potato, and lacks top speed, as well as a sufficient afterburner reserve. I would choose anything over this ship. Although it has high weapons compatability, why equip it with the best weapons if you're always too slow to line up to make a shot? The best way to use this ship is to stay in one place, on top of a friendly ship, and pretend you're a sentry gun.''}}

GTF Ulysses

{{FS12_Ships}}
{{shipimage|image=[[Image:Gtfulysses-old.jpg]]|caption=The GTF Ulysses}}
The '''GTF ''Ulysses''''' is a vessel jointly constructed by the [[Terrans]] and [[Vasudans]], brought into active service during the [[Great War]]. Owing to its high speed and agility, the ''Ulysses'' has enjoyed a long service length, despite having relatively thin armor, weak shields and a low secondary capacity.

The [[Neo-Terran Front]] was known to have used a small number of ''Ulysses'' fighters during their [[NTF Rebellion|Rebellion]].

==Description:==
===FS1 Tech Room Description===
Developed in a joint operation by the Vasudan and Terran governments, the GTF Ulysses is an excellent all-around fighter. It offers superior maneuverability and a high top speed.

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
Affectionately nicknamed ''The Bat'' by its pilots, the GTF Ulysses is a well-designed craft that has had a far longer useful life than its engineers ever imagined. Developed jointly by Terran and Vasudan contractors, the Ulysses was first deployed near the end of the Great War. Its excellent maneuverability and high top speed give it an agility that pilots love, but at a cost of thin armor and a small secondary weapon loadout. The Ulysses is a better choice for offensive missions than defensive ones.

===Developer Comments===
Offers superior maneuverability and a high top speed. Smaller missile payload than other GTA fighters.

===Name Origin===
Protagonist of Homer's ''Odyssey'', Ulysses was a Greek commander who helped with the destruction of Troy. During his 10 years long travel to get back to Ithaca, his land, he encountered the nymph [[FreeSpace 2 Terran Ship Database#GTFr Calypso|Calypso]], the witch [[GTW Circe|Circe]], the [[Cyclops|Cyclops]] Poliphemus, the vortex [[GTA Charybdis|Charybdis]] and other creatures/locations featured in Greek mythology. ''Ulysses'''s dog was named [[GTT Argo|Argo]].

==Veteran Comments==
{{Comment|''The Ulysses is my personal favorite fighter and in the hands of one who can appreciate the high maneuverability, it more than makes up for the low missile capacity.''

''I'll second the comments about its handling. It turns extremely well, moves pretty quick, and it's tough to hit. An adept pilot can become well schooled in ways to avoid presenting the ship's broad top silhouette, forcing chasers to try for hits on the narrow side and rear profiles. The small secondary bank limits the realistic ability of this craft to wade through a wing or two of enemy ships quickly, but as a dueling and harassing fighter it's near the top of its class.''

''I always wanted to love the Ulysses, but in the end it was never quite up to my standards of durability. Fun to fly and ideal for a 1v1 turning fight, but it can't induce the same kind of show-stopping, Shivan-leveling pyrotechnics that a Hercules or even an Apollo can. Keep that in mind before trying to wade through a wing of enemy fighters on your own in an Ulysses. It makes a superb dogfighter, however, and is serviceable for any mission where enemy fighters will be your primary targets; bomber escort and protection of friendly craft against which a bomber wing would be overkill are ideal posistions for the Ulysses. True interceptor duties are problematic due to a small ordnance load.''

''The best thing to note about the Ulysses is that it is virtually the only fighter you have access to that can actually match the maneuverability of an [[SF Dragon]]. However, secondaries are small, and it isn't compatible with the most powerful of dogfighting cannon, the [[GTW UD-8 Kayser]]. It also maneuvers a bit too well, because people unfamiliar with its handling may find themselves overshooting.''

''The Ulysses has 180 more shield points (almost twice as much) than the Serapis, although a slightly weaker hull. The Serapis also has nearly twice the secondary capacity, while otherwise weapons compatibility is pretty equal, with both fighters supporting Maxim and neither supporting the Trebuchet or heavy weapons. A comparison between the Ulysses and the light fighters of other races is what you'd expect. Like all Terran ships, the Ulysses has stronger shields than its Vasudan counterpart while being a bit slower.''

''The Ulysses is on par with the Valkyrie. It has a smaller target profile which compensates for the Valkyrie's larger target profile and heavier hull. Its primary guns are better positioned, which compensates for the Valkyrie's superior secondary capacity. The Ulysses is more maneuverable, but the Valkyrie can outrun anything. To ravage through endless waves of hostile fighters with your primary weapons, I suggest the Ulysses. The Valkyrie can, however, do more damage to cruisers if it's [[GTM Fury|furious]] enough.''

Fitting this craft with a Morning Star/Flail, Maxim, or other rapid-fire weapon makes it an excellent bomb interceptor, but by FS2, it's a rather outdated design not really as effective as before. It has a large shape if attacked from the top, plus the Kayser isn't usable as said above. However, if you're an escorting scenario, then use it. It's what you need to distract the enemy.}}

GTF Valkyrie

2011-09-09T07:46:51Z

Wanderer:

{{FS12_Ships}}{{shipimage|image=[[Image:valkyrie20x240.jpg]]|caption=The GTF Valkyrie}}The '''GTF ''Valkyrie''''' is the mainstay fighter interceptor in the [[Galactic Terran Alliance]]'s arsenal at the time of [[the Great War]]. Its predecessor was the [[GTF Angel|GTF ''Angel'']].

==Description:==

===FS1 Tech Room Description===
Using the old GTF Angel Scout Fighter as a template, the GTA created the Valkyrie Interceptor Fighter. It has two additional engines, as well as an additional set of primary hardpoints. This makes the Valkyrie the best bomber interceptor in the fleet. Its speed is unmatched in the GTA, and its maneuverability is above average. Its only drawbacks are a small secondary payload and weak hull.

===Developer Notes===
High speed recon and bomber-intercept fighter. Offers high weapon compatibility and payload.

===Name origin===
In Norse mythology, valkyries are minor female deities. They were tasked to choose the worthiest of those heroes who had died in battle, and deliver them to Valhalla, Odin's hall.

===Veteran Comments===
{{Comment|''The Valk does its job, and does it well, but when asked to perform in another role it turns out to be disturbingly fragile. If the mission calls for extended dogfighting or attacking transports or military capital craft, you're probably going to want something sturdier.''

''Flies like a dream. You'll love the huge afterburner capacity with all power shunted to engines.''

''It is also noteworthy that AI pilots tend to drop like flies when piloting this ship, so don't expect much backup if you've been flying a long mission in a wing of Valkyries.''

''I found its guns' placements rather lousy, and the singular bay is really restrictive. Not to say it isn't a bad craft. It has an extremely high afterburner velocity, as well as larger reserves of the latter than its descendant. In addition, it has a smaller profile than the Perseus either. The Valkyrie would probably be a better interceptor, but the Perseus overall is a much better craft. The Valkyrie is simply too fragile, and restricted to interception and nothing else.

''If you're going to fly this thing in one of the earlier missions in FS1 without shields, you'll come to learn the hard way about the poor placement of the Communication Subsystem. I don't know about anyone else having issues with the Comm SS being prone to a cheap shot, but be warned, have a support ship in the area if there's some mission critical dialogue going on in the middle of a dogfight (it shouldn't be there in the first place, but there is), or you're going to miss something important.

''The top bank primaries are the outer two guns, and don't expect to hit anything smaller than a bomber with these. The second bank fires shots incredibly close together, originating from just under the cockpit, making this bank much more useful. Aim shots like you would the Herc. On Comm SS issues, don't let your front shield drop, or you'll find the Comm SS down to 20% or lower.''

''My personal favorite ship. The maneuverability is almost as good as the Ulysses, and its afterburner capacity is unmatched. The narrow guns in the center are very well-placed, as you can hit a target more directly, whereas the outer guns are more suited for larger targets, like large bombers, capital ships, flagships, etc. The best loadout in my opinion is Prometheus cannons in the gun banks on the wings, Avenger cannons in the nose guns, and either Phoenix or Interceptor missiles. It may be fragile, but if you fly it right, that doesn't matter. There has been no ship in either of the FreeSpace games that I haven't been able to destroy with the Valkyrie. Excellent ship.''

''It is more than capable to play through the main campaign on Medium. Above it, you'll need to be pickier about your choice of fighter, for the aforementioned durability and comm subsystem shortcomings.''}}

''I'll second the comments about its handling. It turns extremely well, moves pretty quick, and it's tough to hit. An adept pilot can become well schooled in ways to avoid presenting the ship's broad top silhouette, forcing chasers to try for hits on the narrow side and rear profiles. The small secondary bank limits the realistic ability of this craft to wade through a wing or two of enemy ships quickly, but as a dueling and harassing fighter it's near the top of its class.''

''I always wanted to love the Ulysses, but in the end it was never quite up to my standards of durability. Fun to fly and ideal for a 1v1 turning fight, but it can't induce the same kind of show-stopping, Shivan-leveling pyrotechnics that a Hercules or even an Apollo can. Keep that in mind before trying to wade through a wing of enemy fighters on your own in an Ulysses. It makes a superb dogfighter, however, and is serviceable for any mission where enemy fighters will be your primary targets; bomber escort and protection of friendly craft against which a bomber wing would be overkill are ideal posistions for the Ulysses. True interceptor duties are problematic due to a small ordnance load.''

''The best thing to note about the Ulysses is that it is virtually the only fighter you have access to that can actually match the maneuverability of an [[SF Dragon]]. However, secondaries are small, and it isn't compatible with the most powerful of dogfighting cannon, the [[GTW UD-8 Kayser]]. It also maneuvers a bit too well, because people unfamiliar with its handling may find themselves overshooting.''

''The Ulysses has 180 more shield points (almost twice as much) than the Serapis, although a slightly weaker hull. The Serapis also has nearly twice the secondary capacity, while otherwise weapons compatibility is pretty equal, with both fighters supporting Maxim and neither supporting the Trebuchet or heavy weapons. A comparison between the Ulysses and the light fighters of other races is what you'd expect. Like all Terran ships, the Ulysses has stronger shields than its Vasudan counterpart while being a bit slower.''

''The Ulysses is on par with the Valkyrie. It has a smaller target profile which compensates for the Valkyrie's larger target profile and heavier hull. Its primary guns are better positioned, which compensates for the Valkyrie's superior secondary capacity. The Ulysses is more maneuverable, but the Valkyrie can outrun anything. To ravage through endless waves of hostile fighters with your primary weapons, I suggest the Ulysses. The Valkyrie can, however, do more damage to cruisers if it's [[GTM Fury|furious]] enough.''

Fitting this craft with a Morning Star/Flail, Maxim, or other rapid-fire weapon makes it an excellent bomb interceptor, but by FS2, it's a rather outdated design not really as effective as before. It has a large shape if attacked from the top, plus the Kayser isn't usable as said above. However, if you're an escorting scenario, then use it. It's what you need to distract the enemy.}}

SC Lilith

2011-09-08T15:10:49Z

Wanderer: /* Performance: */ there, templated info

{{FS12_Ships}}
The '''SC ''Lilith''''' was a heavy cruiser class used by the Shivans in both the [[Great War]] and the [[Second Shivan Incursion]]. The Lilith offered a [[LRed|heavy beam cannon]] against capital ships and numerous other turrets against fighters.
{{shipimage|image=[[Image:Sccain_Sclilith-old.jpg]]|caption=The SC Lilith}}

==Description:==
===FS1 Tech Room Description===
While far more rare than its counterpart, the Cain-class cruiser, the Lilith is one of the most ferocious cruisers we have had the misfortune of combating. It has extremely strong weapon systems, as well as a very thick armor which our cannons can barely penetrate. One for one, the Lilith can easily destroy any of our cruisers. It is for this reason that they should be considered a primary target for all bomber squadrons in the GTA. 
The Lilith should be considered a Class A threat to any ships that encounter it.

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
The SC Lilith class of Shivan cruisers is a far-deadlier foe than the Cain class. Nearly impenetrable armor plating enables it to withstand tremendous punishment, enabling its nine turrets to lash out at warships and combat spacecraft with impunity.

===Developer Notes===
{{shipimage|image=[[Image:Sclilith.jpg|500px]]|caption=The SC Lilith in FS2_Open 3.6.12}}
None

===Name origin===
In Hebrew mythology, Lilith was a female Mesopotanian demon associated with spreading illnesses and diseases.

Lilith is referred sometimes to the demonic aspects of the female sex: Supposedly, when Eva bit into the apple in God's garden and corrupted Adam, she took the aspect of Lilith (which is why she is sometimes identified as the "first wife" of Adam). It is said that Lilith's offspring formed the incubi and succubi, demonic destructive personas incarnating sin of the male (incubi) and female (succubi) sexes, which would cause nightmares and night terrors by copulating with sleepers.

===Veteran Comments===
{{comment|''The Lilith is, in FS2, probably the single most effective cruiser in the game. It gains this title simply because it is ridiculously difficult to destroy. This cruiser can survive a dual Helios hit! This thick armor also makes it very difficult to knock out critical subsystems and weapons, while its main beam cannon is a destroyer-scale LRed, giving it a nasty punch. Despite its durability, its antifighter defenses are only marginally superior to the Cain, with its Shivan Cluster launchers instead of Fighterkiller missiles.''

''Ridiculously well armed and protected, but extremely badly armed for combating fighters. Interesting how the Moloch can mount 3 SReds, the same as the Rakshasa, but this can mount one sodding huge LRed despite being smaller than the Moloch and only slightly bigger in total size than the Rakshasa.''

''If this ship comes out during an escort mission, be sure to have at least 3 Trebuchets and use them to destroy that LRed beam before it tears your escort to shreds.''

''The Lilith is known to be very rare in combat so the presence of many warships of this class in a Shivan cruiser wing has to be somewhat justified. Try to balance its use and don't hesitate in switching the LRed into a SRed for balancing reasons.''

''The real pain for me was always the Shivan clusters, which give devastating all-around protection. They're in little recessed hexagons on the sides and are hard to hit. An individual cruiser is always an easy target, but they're usually found in groups—which means cluster missile hell in this case.

''Flying a fighter or bomber, the Lilith poses little threat. It does, however, have an exorbitant amount of armor, meaning bombers should expend more than would be expected for a cruiser and fighters should leave it well enough alone. Against everything else, however, that LRed gives it amazing power. In escorts, it should be #1 priority. Two Liliths can destroy nearly every GTVA destroyer, corvette, and cruiser: Only the [[Hatshepsut]] can match their combined firepower.

''Here's a little note for those who are interested: in retail, both the Cain and Lilith look exactly the same, having the same hull theme much akin to the SD Ravana (grey-red instead of black-red), but in versions of FS2_Open before 3.6.10, the Cain gets a new, black-themed hull while the Lilith retains the old Ravana-esque hull. In 3.6.10, the hull textures are swapped, so a Lilith in 3.6.10 now looks like a Cain in pre-3.6.10 versions of FS2_Open.''}}

==General Format==
*Ship.tbl is formed of several different sections.
*All sections beginning with <nowiki>#</nowiki> need <nowiki>#</nowiki>End before the next section.
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Default Player Ship'''
***Defines the default player ship in the game and also in the FRED. If in a mission appears a ship that has not been properly included to tables then game replaces the ship with the Default Player Ship.
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Engine Wash Info'''
***Includes all the definitions of all engine washes used in the game.

:**Includes entries for every ship and also defines their attributes that are used in the game
:**Is discussed in detail at [[Ships.tbl#Table_Options|Table Options]] section.
:*'''$Player Ship Precedence'''
:**Player Ship Precedence is used in ship selection when a ship specified by the mission designer is not available to the player. The next ship on the list is used in its place (assuming that ship is allowed for the player)

==Default Player Ship==
*Defines the default ship in the game.
*Syntax: ''Name'', name of ship model as defined in [[Ships.tbl#Table_Options|Table Options]].

==Engine Wash==
*Defines the engines washes
*First entry must be named 'default'

===$Name:===
*Defines the name of the engine wash.
*Syntax: '''''String'''''

===+nocreate===
{{Table3610|
*In [[Modular Tables]] name can be followed by line '''+nocreate''' that prevent game from creating an incomplete entry by leaving the entry unread unless it already exists (either in ship.tbl or in earlier parsed *-shp.tbm files) by the time the *-shp.tbm is read.}}

===$Angle:===
*Defines the angle from the engine where the engine wash exists
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', degrees

===$Radius Mult:===
*Defines engine wash multiplier
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''

===$Length:===
*Defines the length of the engine wash
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', meters

===$Intensity:===
*Defines the strength of the engine wash
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', blast effect

'''Example'''

$Name: Default
$Angle: 10.0
$Radius Mult: 1.2
$Length: 400
$Intensity: 1.0

==Ship Template Options==
{{Table3610|

===+Use Template:===
{{Table3610|
*Another template can be used as template for the current template
*Syntax: '''''String''''', name}}

==Ships Table Options==

===$Name:===
*Model name that is used also in game. It is also used as name for the whole ship entry. There are two special characters can be used in the name: '''#''' and '''@'''
**'''#'''. It's used in the middle of the name. It makes the right part of the name not being shown in the ship class info of the target window, (or beside the target brackets in FS_Open builds). It allows making different versions of a base ship while showing the same class name inside the game. An example from FSPort FreeSpace 1: The '''SF Dragon#weakened''' ship, used in [[Enter the Dragon]], appears to the player just as any other '''SF Dragon'''.
**'''@'''. It's used before the proper ship name. It is fully ignored by the game. Moreover, '''@WhateverShip''' and '''WhateverShip''' are exactly the same name and therefore they both appear as '''WhateverShip''' inside the game. It just allows the user marking ships in the table because of any modding reason. In the retail FS2 ships there are several ships starting by '''@'''.
*Syntax: '''''String''''', name

===+nocreate===
{{Table3610|
*In [[Modular Tables]] name can be followed by line '''+nocreate''' that prevent game from creating an incomplete entry by leaving the entry unread unless it already exists (either in ship.tbl or in earlier parsed *-shp.tbm files) by the time the *-shp.tbm is read.}}

===$Density:===
*This defines how hard you hit something. If you set it very high, a collision will the lower density ship and not yours; the higher the numbers are, the harder they will hit and the farther they will be pushed. However, this doesn't apply to asteroids. When a high density fighter collides with an asteroid, the high-density fighter will receive damage, but it will also destroy the asteroid. Setting a density of 1000 on a fighter with 180 hitpoints will cause the fighter to immediately explode if it collides with, say, an asteroid. A low-density fighter will not have any effect on an asteroid, but if the fighter destroys the asteroid, the fighter will fly far away.
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', usually 1

===$Damp:===
*Damp affects how quickly you will accel/decel to your target velocity. Higher damp means slow acceleration and deceleration. The lower this number, the faster the ship responds.

===$Flags:===
{{Table3610|
*Can be used to sets additional subsystem related properties
*Syntax: ( '''''"String" "String"''''' )
*List of available flags:

===="untargetable"====
*Subsystem cannot be targeted

===="carry no damage"====
*Damage caused to the subsystem will not carry over to the parent ship

===="use multiple guns"====
*Enables the turret to fire all equipped weapons, picking a not-in-use firing point at each trigger. Not to be confused with 'Salvo mode'.

===="fire down normals"====
*Forces the turret to fire along the turret normals - regardless of the swarm setting.

===="check hull"====
*Forces the firing turret to check against the parent model if valid line of sight exists between the firingpoint and the target.}}

{{Table3611|
===="fixed firingpoints"====
*Forces the firing turret to retain the firingpoints of their weapons. Maximum number of weapons is the same as maximum number of weapons in turret (3 primary, 4 secondary)

===="salvo mode"====
*Forces the firing turret to use only the first weapon defined for it but fires it simultaneously from all the firing points. Not to be confused with 'use multiple guns'

===="no subsystem targeting"====
*Prevents the firing turret from targeting targets subsystems - instead forces the turret to fire randomly at the targets hull.

===="fire on target"====
*Prevents the turret from firing unless the turret barrels (firingpoints) and targets are aligned.

===="reset when idle"====
*Forces the turret to reset to its initial position if it has no targets.

===="carry shockwave"====
*Forces the turret to carry damage caused by shockwaves to the hull regardless of other flags.}}

{{Table3613|
===="allow landing"====
*Defines the subsystem as something on which player can attempt to land on

===="target requires fov"====
*Prevents turret from accidentally selecting target out of it field of view (fov) when acquiring targets

===="fov edge checks"====
*If the predicted target point of the turret falls outside of the field of view this flag but according to ship radius and dot product the target should still be partially visible then this flag attempts to turn the turret to the edge of the FOV closest to the targeted position and allow it to fire along that direction.

===="no replace"====
*Tells game not to use the replacement submodel (-destroyed) when the subsystem loses all of it's hitpoints.

===="no live debris"====
*Prevents the subsystem from releasing live debris pieces when destroyed

===="ignore if dead"====
*When subsystem has been destroyed prevents homing weapons from attempting to hit the now destroyed submodel and instead tells them to home on the main hull of the target

===="allow vanishing"====
*Allow subsystem to be destroyed from the ship without sound or graphical effects

===="damage as hull"====
*Treats subsystem as if it were hull when applying damage.

===="starts locked"====
*Turret starts locked and won't shoot until you use a turret-free or turret-free-all SEXP on it.

===="no aggregate"====
*Freespace keeps track of a ships overall functionality (such as if a ship is sensorless, disarmed or disabled) via a total hitpoint count of the associated subsystems. For example if a ship has three engines with 100HP each, the 'engines' count will be at 300HP. Shooting at any of the subsystems with the keyword 'engine' in them will decrement this total, and when it is at 0 then the ship becomes disabled.
*This flag tells FS to ignore the associated subsystem and not count it towards those totals. For example, if a ship had three 100HP engines with one set to 'no aggregate' then the 'engines' count will be 200HP. Shooting the 'no aggregate' engine will not decrement the 'engines' count, and so in other words the status of this engine is irrelevant to whether or not the ship is disabled. In the same way when applied to a turret, the turret's status is irrelevant to whether the ship is disarmed or not.

===[[Animation Code]]===
{{Table3610|
*Option for animating the submodels}}

==Case Specific Entries==

===Turret===
*All turrets require information concerning the weapon mounted to the turret. The entry can be either '''$Default PBanks''' for turret primaries (including beams) or '''$Default SBanks''' for turret secondaries
{{Table3610|

*Multiple defined weapons will all fire but the targetting is handled by the first weapon in the list. '''Multiple beams are not possible'''. All weapons alternate between the firingpoints of the turret so turrets do not need to have more than one weapon defined no matter how many barrels or firingpoints they have.}}

{{Fileversion|7119}}


==General Format==
*Ship.tbl is formed of several different sections.
*All sections beginning with <nowiki>#</nowiki> need <nowiki>#</nowiki>End before the next section.
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Default Player Ship'''
***Defines the default player ship in the game and also in the FRED. If in a mission appears a ship that has not been properly included to tables then game replaces the ship with the Default Player Ship.
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Engine Wash Info'''
***Includes all the definitions of all engine washes used in the game.
{{Table3610|
:*<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Ship Templates'''
:**Includes entries for ship templates}}

:*<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Ship Classes'''
:**Includes entries for every ship and also defines their attributes that are used in the game
:**Is discussed in detail at [[Ships.tbl#Table_Options|Table Options]] section.
:*'''$Player Ship Precedence'''
:**Player Ship Precedence is used in ship selection when a ship specified by the mission designer is not available to the player. The next ship on the list is used in its place (assuming that ship is allowed for the player)

==Default Player Ship==
*Defines the default ship in the game.
*Syntax: ''Name'', name of ship model as defined in [[Ships.tbl#Table_Options|Table Options]].

==Engine Wash==

*Defines the name of the engine wash.
*Syntax: '''''String'''''

===+nocreate===
{{Table3610|
*In [[Modular Tables]] name can be followed by line '''+nocreate''' that prevent game from creating an incomplete entry by leaving the entry unread unless it already exists (either in ship.tbl or in earlier parsed *-shp.tbm files) by the time the *-shp.tbm is read.}}

===$Angle:===
*Defines the angle from the engine where the engine wash exists
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', degrees

===$Radius Mult:===

==Ships Table Options==

===$Name:===
*Model name that is used also in game. It is also used as name for the whole ship entry. There are two special characters can be used in the name: '''#''' and '''@'''
**'''#'''. It's used in the middle of the name. It makes the right part of the name not being shown in the ship class info of the target window, (or beside the target brackets in FS_Open builds). It allows making different versions of a base ship while showing the same class name inside the game. An example from FSPort FreeSpace 1: The '''SF Dragon#weakened''' ship, used in [[Enter the Dragon]], appears to the player just as any other '''SF Dragon'''.
**'''@'''. It's used before the proper ship name. It is fully ignored by the game. Moreover, '''@WhateverShip''' and '''WhateverShip''' are exactly the same name and therefore they both appear as '''WhateverShip''' inside the game. It just allows the user marking ships in the table because of any modding reason. In the retail FS2 ships there are several ships starting by '''@'''.

===$Density:===
*This defines how hard you hit something. If you set it very high, a collision will the lower density ship and not yours; the higher the numbers are, the harder they will hit and the farther they will be pushed. However, this doesn't apply to asteroids. When a high density fighter collides with an asteroid, the high-density fighter will receive damage, but it will also destroy the asteroid. Setting a density of 1000 on a fighter with 180 hitpoints will cause the fighter to immediately explode if it collides with, say, an asteroid. A low-density fighter will not have any effect on an asteroid, but if the fighter destroys the asteroid, the fighter will fly far away.
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', usually 1

===$Damp:===
*Damp affects how quickly you will accel/decel to your target velocity. Higher damp means slow acceleration and deceleration. The lower this number, the faster the ship responds. For example, specifying a value of 0.0 means there is no damping, in other words, people would say, "this has no physics, like Wing Commander." The more damping, the harder to control, but the more smoothly it moves.

**Example: ''0.0, 0.0, 80.0''

===$Rotation Time:===
*Defines rotation times around the x, y, and z-axis. Number is seconds it takes to complete rotate a ship (360 degrees) around the given axis. X-axis is "pitch," y-axis is "yaw," and z-axis is "roll."

*Syntax: '''''Boolean'''''}}

====+Max Glide Speed:====
{{Table3610|
*Defines the maximum glide speed if glide has been enabled. If 0, this is set to the fastest speed the ship can go. If negative, there is no glide cap (allowing practically infinite maximum gliding speed). Defaults to 0.
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''}}

====+Glide Accel Mult:====
{{Table3611|
*Defines the acceleration multiplier for the gliding mode. If > 0, sets a fixed acceleration rate in glide mode depending on value. If set to 0, impossible to accelerate while in glide mode. If negative, enables glide speed ramping (acceleration in glide mode ramps in the same way as in normal flight). Defaults to 0.

Wanderer: new entries

{{Fileversion|6851}}


==General Format==
*Ship.tbl is formed of several different sections.
*All sections beginning with <nowiki>#</nowiki> need <nowiki>#</nowiki>End before the next section.
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Default Player Ship'''
***Defines the default player ship in the game and also in the FRED. If in a mission appears a ship that has not been properly included to tables then game replaces the ship with the Default Player Ship.
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Engine Wash Info'''
***Includes all the definitions of all engine washes used in the game.
{{Table3610|
:*<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Ship Templates'''
:**Includes entries for ship templates}}

:*<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Ship Classes'''
:**Includes entries for every ship and also defines their attributes that are used in the game
:**Is discussed in detail at [[Ships.tbl#Table_Options|Table Options]] section.
:*'''$Player Ship Precedence'''
:**Player Ship Precedence is used in ship selection when a ship specified by the mission designer is not available to the player. The next ship on the list is used in its place (assuming that ship is allowed for the player)

==Default Player Ship==
*Defines the default ship in the game.
*Syntax: ''Name'', name of ship model as defined in [[Ships.tbl#Table_Options|Table Options]].

==Engine Wash==
*Defines the engines washes
*First entry must be named 'default'

===$Name:===
*Defines the name of the engine wash.
*Syntax: '''''String'''''

===+nocreate===
{{Table3610|
*In [[Modular Tables]] name can be followed by line '''+nocreate''' that prevent game from creating an incomplete entry by leaving the entry unread unless it already exists (either in ship.tbl or in earlier parsed *-shp.tbm files) by the time the *-shp.tbm is read.}}

===$Angle:===
*Defines the angle from the engine where the engine wash exists
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', degrees

===$Radius Mult:===
*Defines engine wash multiplier
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''

===$Length:===
*Defines the length of the engine wash
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', meters

===$Intensity:===

==Ships Table Options==

===$Name:===
*Model name that is used also in game. It is also used as name for the whole ship entry. There are two special characters can be used in the name: '''#''' and '''@'''
**'''#'''. It's used in the middle of the name. It makes the right part of the name not being shown in the ship class info of the target window, (or beside the target brackets in FS_Open builds). It allows making different versions of a base ship while showing the same class name inside the game. An example from FSPort FreeSpace 1: The '''SF Dragon#weakened''' ship, used in [[Enter the Dragon]], appears to the player just as any other '''SF Dragon'''.
**'''@'''. It's used before the proper ship name. It is fully ignored by the game. Moreover, '''@WhateverShip''' and '''WhateverShip''' are exactly the same name and therefore they both appear as '''WhateverShip''' inside the game. It just allows the user marking ships in the table because of any modding reason. In the retail FS2 ships there are several ships starting by '''@'''.
*Syntax: '''''String''''', name

===+nocreate===
{{Table3610|
*In [[Modular Tables]] name can be followed by line '''+nocreate''' that prevent game from creating an incomplete entry by leaving the entry unread unless it already exists (either in ship.tbl or in earlier parsed *-shp.tbm files) by the time the *-shp.tbm is read.}}

===$Density:===
*This defines how hard you hit something. If you set it very high, a collision will the lower density ship and not yours; the higher the numbers are, the harder they will hit and the farther they will be pushed. However, this doesn't apply to asteroids. When a high density fighter collides with an asteroid, the high-density fighter will receive damage, but it will also destroy the asteroid. Setting a density of 1000 on a fighter with 180 hitpoints will cause the fighter to immediately explode if it collides with, say, an asteroid. A low-density fighter will not have any effect on an asteroid, but if the fighter destroys the asteroid, the fighter will fly far away.
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', usually 1

===$Damp:===
*Damp affects how quickly you will accel/decel to your target velocity. Higher damp means slow acceleration and deceleration. The lower this number, the faster the ship responds. For example, specifying a value of 0.0 means there is no damping, in other words, people would say, "this has no physics, like Wing Commander." The more damping, the harder to control, but the more smoothly it moves.
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''

===$Rotdamp:===
*Same thing, but for rotational movement.
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''

===$Banking Constant:===
{{Table3610|

*Syntax: '''''Vector''''', three '''floats''', x-axis, y-axis, z-axis, respectively, meters per second
**Example: ''0.0, 0.0, 80.0''

===$Rotation Time:===
*Defines rotation times around the x, y, and z-axis. Number is seconds it takes to complete rotate a ship (360 degrees) around the given axis. X-axis is "pitch," y-axis is "yaw," and z-axis is "roll."
*Syntax: '''''Vector''''', three '''floats''', seconds per 360 degree turn around x-axis, y-axis, z-axis, respectively
**Example: ''3.0, 2.6, 5.0''

===$Rear Velocity:===
*Defines rear velocity

===$Glide:===
{{Table3610|
*Allows gliding in game, i.e. turning the ship's facing without changing its direction.
*Syntax: '''''Boolean''''', yes or no}}

====+Dynamic Glide Cap:====
{{Table3611|
*If set, game uses dynamic glide cap. The dynamic glide cap means that the maximum glide speed will follow the same rules as normal flight, including the effects of afterburner and power to engines. If set to YES, the value in +Max Glide Speed is ignored.
*Syntax: '''''Boolean'''''}}

====+Max Glide Speed:====
{{Table3610|
*Defines the maximum glide speed if glide has been enabled. If 0, this is set to the fastest speed the ship can go. If negative, there is no glide cap (allowing practically infinite maximum gliding speed). Defaults to 0.
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''}}

====+Glide Accel Mult:====
{{Table3611|
*Defines the acceleration multiplier for the gliding mode. If > 0, sets a fixed acceleration rate in glide mode depending on value. If set to 0, impossible to accelerate while in glide mode. If negative, enables glide speed ramping (acceleration in glide mode ramps in the same way as in normal flight). Defaults to 0.
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''}}
{{Table3610|
*Entry exists as a dummy entry which doesnt do anything to prevent compatibility issues}}

===$Use Newtonian Dampening:===
{{Table3611|
*If set, forces the ship to use (or not use) newtonian dampening. Basically, allows overriding the AI Profiles flag on a per-ship basis.

Wanderer: /* $Impact Spew: */ update the first entry

{{Fileversion|6851}}


==General Format==
*Ship.tbl is formed of several different sections.
*All sections beginning with <nowiki>#</nowiki> need <nowiki>#</nowiki>End before the next section.
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Default Player Ship'''
***Defines the default player ship in the game and also in the FRED. If in a mission appears a ship that has not been properly included to tables then game replaces the ship with the Default Player Ship.
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Engine Wash Info'''
***Includes all the definitions of all engine washes used in the game.
{{Table3610|
:*<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Ship Templates'''
:**Includes entries for ship templates}}

:*<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Ship Classes'''
:**Includes entries for every ship and also defines their attributes that are used in the game
:**Is discussed in detail at [[Ships.tbl#Table_Options|Table Options]] section.
:*'''$Player Ship Precedence'''
:**Player Ship Precedence is used in ship selection when a ship specified by the mission designer is not available to the player. The next ship on the list is used in its place (assuming that ship is allowed for the player)

==Default Player Ship==
*Defines the default ship in the game.
*Syntax: ''Name'', name of ship model as defined in [[Ships.tbl#Table_Options|Table Options]].

==Engine Wash==
*Defines the engines washes
*First entry must be named 'default'

===$Name:===
*Defines the name of the engine wash.
*Syntax: '''''String'''''

===+nocreate===
{{Table3610|
*In [[Modular Tables]] name can be followed by line '''+nocreate''' that prevent game from creating an incomplete entry by leaving the entry unread unless it already exists (either in ship.tbl or in earlier parsed *-shp.tbm files) by the time the *-shp.tbm is read.}}

===$Angle:===
*Defines the angle from the engine where the engine wash exists
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', degrees

===$Radius Mult:===
*Defines engine wash multiplier
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''

===$Length:===
*Defines the length of the engine wash
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', meters

===$Intensity:===
*Defines the strength of the engine wash

==Ships Table Options==

===$Name:===
*Model name that is used also in game. It is also used as name for the whole ship entry. There are two special characters can be used in the name: '''#''' and '''@'''
**'''#'''. It's used in the middle of the name. It makes the right part of the name not being shown in the ship class info of the target window, (or beside the target brackets in FS_Open builds). It allows making different versions of a base ship while showing the same class name inside the game. An example from FSPort FreeSpace 1: The '''SF Dragon#weakened''' ship, used in [[Enter the Dragon]], appears to the player just as any other '''SF Dragon'''.
**'''@'''. It's used before the proper ship name. It is fully ignored by the game. Moreover, '''@WhateverShip''' and '''WhateverShip''' are exactly the same name and therefore they both appear as '''WhateverShip''' inside the game. It just allows the user marking ships in the table because of any modding reason. In the retail FS2 ships there are several ships starting by '''@'''.
*Syntax: '''''String''''', name

===+nocreate===
{{Table3610|
*In [[Modular Tables]] name can be followed by line '''+nocreate''' that prevent game from creating an incomplete entry by leaving the entry unread unless it already exists (either in ship.tbl or in earlier parsed *-shp.tbm files) by the time the *-shp.tbm is read.}}

===$Density:===
*This defines how hard you hit something. If you set it very high, a collision will the lower density ship and not yours; the higher the numbers are, the harder they will hit and the farther they will be pushed. However, this doesn't apply to asteroids. When a high density fighter collides with an asteroid, the high-density fighter will receive damage, but it will also destroy the asteroid. Setting a density of 1000 on a fighter with 180 hitpoints will cause the fighter to immediately explode if it collides with, say, an asteroid. A low-density fighter will not have any effect on an asteroid, but if the fighter destroys the asteroid, the fighter will fly far away.
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', usually 1

===$Damp:===
*Damp affects how quickly you will accel/decel to your target velocity. Higher damp means slow acceleration and deceleration. The lower this number, the faster the ship responds. For example, specifying a value of 0.0 means there is no damping, in other words, people would say, "this has no physics, like Wing Commander." The more damping, the harder to control, but the more smoothly it moves.
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''

===$Rotdamp:===
*Same thing, but for rotational movement.
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''

===$Banking Constant:===
{{Table3610|

*Syntax: '''''Vector''''', three '''floats''', x-axis, y-axis, z-axis, respectively, meters per second
**Example: ''0.0, 0.0, 80.0''

===$Rotation Time:===
*Defines rotation times around the x, y, and z-axis. Number is seconds it takes to complete rotate a ship (360 degrees) around the given axis. X-axis is "pitch," y-axis is "yaw," and z-axis is "roll."
*Syntax: '''''Vector''''', three '''floats''', seconds per 360 degree turn around x-axis, y-axis, z-axis, respectively
**Example: ''3.0, 2.6, 5.0''

===$Rear Velocity:===
*Defines rear velocity

*Same for sliding as the $Forward decel: is for for normal movement.
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', seconds

===$Glide:===
{{Table3610|
*Allows gliding in game, i.e. turning the ship's facing without changing its direction.
*Syntax: '''''Boolean''''', yes or no}}

====+Dynamic Glide Cap:====
{{Table3611|
*If set, game uses dynamic glide cap. The dynamic glide cap means that the maximum glide speed will follow the same rules as normal flight, including the effects of afterburner and power to engines. If set to YES, the value in +Max Glide Speed is ignored.
*Syntax: '''''Boolean'''''}}

====+Max Glide Speed:====
{{Table3610|
*Defines the maximum glide speed if glide has been enabled. If 0, this is set to the fastest speed the ship can go. If negative, there is no glide cap (allowing practically infinite maximum gliding speed). Defaults to 0.
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''}}

====+Glide Accel Mult:====
{{Table3611|
*Defines the acceleration multiplier for the gliding mode. If > 0, sets a fixed acceleration rate in glide mode depending on value. If set to 0, impossible to accelerate while in glide mode. If negative, enables glide speed ramping (acceleration in glide mode ramps in the same way as in normal flight). Defaults to 0.
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''}}
{{Table3610|
*Entry exists as a dummy entry which doesnt do anything to prevent compatibility issues}}

===$Use Newtonian Dampening:===
{{Table3611|
*If set, forces the ship to use (or not use) newtonian dampening. Basically, allows overriding the AI Profiles flag on a per-ship basis.

Objecttypes.tbl

Wanderer: update

{{SCP_table}}

{{Fileversion|6581}}



Objecttypes.tbl is a table added by the FSSCP, used to set attributes of different object types. Currently the only section of this table are ship type attributes. A ship 'type' supercedes ship classes defined in ships.tbl. For example, the [[GTF Perseus]] and [[GTF Ulysses]] belong to the 'fighter' ship type. However, the [[GTD Orion]] belongs to the 'capital' ship type.

Note that objecttypes.tbl is fully XMT-compliant, with the suffix *-obt.tbm. In addition, the retail hardcoded types are being ported over to the objecttypes.tbl via an in-code table. So if a mod wishes to expand on the original types rather than replace them entirely, it should use a modular table file rather than a normal .tbl. Otherwise the in-code table will be ignored in favor of the one included in the mod, and the retail types will not be loaded (unless the mod includes them in its .tbl)

Note that a number of aspects of the retail types are still hardcoded, although they may be moved to the objecttypes.tbl if a mod requests it.

===="untargetable"====
*Subsystem cannot be targeted

===="carry no damage"====
*Damage caused to the subsystem will not carry over to the parent ship

===="use multiple guns"====
*Enables 'salvo fire' mode for the turrets. Instead of alternating barrels the turret fires continously from all the barrels.

===="fire down normals"====
*Forces the turret to fire along the turret normals - regardless of the swarm setting.

===="check hull"====
*Forces the firing turret to check against the parent model if valid line of sight exists between the firingpoint and the target.}}

{{Table3611|
===="fixed firingpoints"====
*Forces the firing turret to retain the firingpoints of their weapons. Maximum number of weapons is the same as maximum number of weapons in turret (3 primary, 4 secondary)

===="salvo mode"====
*Forces the firing turret to use only the first weapon defined for it but fires it simultaneously from all the firing points.

===="no subsystem targeting"====
*Prevents the firing turret from targeting targets subsystems - instead forces the turret to fire randomly at the targets hull.

===="fire on target"====
*Prevents the turret from firing unless the turret barrels (firingpoints) and targets are aligned.

===="reset when idle"====
*Forces the turret to reset to its initial position if it has no targets.

===="carry shockwave"====
*Forces the turret to carry damage caused by shockwaves to the hull regardless of other flags.}}

{{Table3613|
===="allow landing"====
*Defines the subsystem as something on which player can attempt to land on

===="target requires fov"====
*Prevents turret from accidentally selecting target out of it field of view (fov) when acquiring targets

===="fov edge checks"====
*If the predicted target point of the turret falls outside of the field of view this flag but according to ship radius and dot product the target should still be partially visible then this flag attempts to turn the turret to the edge of the FOV closest to the targeted position and allow it to fire along that direction.

===="no replace"====
*Tells game not to use the replacement submodel (-destroyed) when the subsystem loses all of it's hitpoints.

===="no live debris"====
*Prevents the subsystem from releasing live debris pieces when destroyed

===="ignore if dead"====
*When subsystem has been destroyed prevents homing weapons from attempting to hit the now destroyed submodel and instead tells them to home on the main hull of the target

===="allow vanishing"====
*Allow subsystem to be destroyed from the ship without sound or graphical effects

===[[Animation Code]]===
{{Table3610|
*Option for animating the submodels}}

==Case Specific Entries==

===Turret===
*All turrets require information concerning the weapon mounted to the turret. The entry can be either '''$Default PBanks''' for turret primaries (including beams) or '''$Default SBanks''' for turret secondaries
{{Table3610|
*[[Animation_Code#Setting_Turret_Angle|Animation Code]] can be used with multi-part turrets.
*Multiple defined weapons will all fire but the targetting is handled by the first weapon in the list. '''Multiple beams are not possible'''. All weapons alternate between the firingpoints of the turret so turrets do not need to have more than one weapon defined no matter how many barrels or firingpoints they have.}}

{{Fileversion|6851}}


==General Format==
*Ship.tbl is formed of several different sections.
*All sections beginning with <nowiki>#</nowiki> need <nowiki>#</nowiki>End before the next section.
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Default Player Ship'''
***Defines the default player ship in the game and also in the FRED. If in a mission appears a ship that has not been properly included to tables then game replaces the ship with the Default Player Ship.
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Engine Wash Info'''
***Includes all the definitions of all engine washes used in the game.
{{Table3610|
:*<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Ship Templates'''
:**Includes entries for ship templates}}

:*<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Ship Classes'''
:**Includes entries for every ship and also defines their attributes that are used in the game
:**Is discussed in detail at [[Ships.tbl#Table_Options|Table Options]] section.
:*'''$Player Ship Precedence'''
:**Player Ship Precedence is used in ship selection when a ship specified by the mission designer is not available to the player. The next ship on the list is used in its place (assuming that ship is allowed for the player)

==Default Player Ship==
*Defines the default ship in the game.
*Syntax: ''Name'', name of ship model as defined in [[Ships.tbl#Table_Options|Table Options]].

{{Table3610|
*In [[Modular Tables]] name can be followed by line '''+nocreate''' that prevent game from creating an incomplete entry by leaving the entry unread unless it already exists (either in ship.tbl or in earlier parsed *-shp.tbm files) by the time the *-shp.tbm is read.}}

===$Angle:===
*Defines the angle from the engine where the engine wash exists
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', degrees

===$Radius Mult:===
*Defines engine wash multiplier
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''

===$Length:===

==Ships Table Options==

===$Name:===
*Model name that is used also in game. It is also used as name for the whole ship entry. There are two special characters can be used in the name: '''#''' and '''@'''
**'''#'''. It's used in the middle of the name. It makes the right part of the name not being shown in the ship class info of the target window, (or beside the target brackets in FS_Open builds). It allows making different versions of a base ship while showing the same class name inside the game. An example from FSPort FreeSpace 1: The '''SF Dragon#weakened''' ship, used in [[Enter the Dragon]], appears to the player just as any other '''SF Dragon'''.
**'''@'''. It's used before the proper ship name. It is fully ignored by the game. Moreover, '''@WhateverShip''' and '''WhateverShip''' are exactly the same name and therefore they both appear as '''WhateverShip''' inside the game. It just allows the user marking ships in the table because of any modding reason. In the retail FS2 ships there are several ships starting by '''@'''.

===$Density:===
*This defines how hard you hit something. If you set it very high, a collision will severely damage your ship, and push the lower density object away; the higher the numbers are, the harder they will hit and the farther they will be pushed. Setting a density of 10 on a fighter with 180 hitpoints will cause the fighter to immediately explode if it collides with, say, an asteroid.
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', usually 1

===$Damp:===
*Damp affects how quickly you will accel/decel to your target velocity. Higher damp means slow acceleration and deceleration. The lower this number, the faster the ship responds. For example, specifying a value of 0.0 means there is no damping, in other words, people would say, "this has no physics, like Wing Commander." The more damping, the harder to control, but the more smoothly it moves.
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''

{{Table3611|
*If set, game uses dynamic glide cap. The dynamic glide cap means that the maximum glide speed will follow the same rules as normal flight, including the effects of afterburner and power to engines. If set to YES, the value in +Max Glide Speed is ignored.
*Syntax: '''''Boolean'''''}}

====+Max Glide Speed:====
{{Table3610|
*Defines the maximum glide speed if glide has been enabled. If 0, this is set to the fastest speed the ship can go. If negative, there is no glide cap (allowing practically infinite maximum gliding speed). Defaults to 0.
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''}}

====+Glide Accel Mult:====
{{Table3611|
*Defines the acceleration multiplier for the gliding mode. If > 0, sets a fixed acceleration rate in glide mode depending on value. If set to 0, impossible to accelerate while in glide mode. If negative, enables glide speed ramping (acceleration in glide mode ramps in the same way as in normal flight). Defaults to 0.
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''}}
{{Table3610|
*Entry exists as a dummy entry which doesnt do anything to prevent compatibility issues}}

===$Use Newtonian Dampening:===
{{Table3611|

===$Name:===
*Model name that is used also in game. It is also used as name for the whole ship entry. There are two special characters can be used in the name: '''#''' and '''@'''
**'''#'''. It's used in the middle of the name. It makes the right part of the name not being shown in the ship class info of the target window, (or beside the target brackets in FS_Open builds). It allows making different versions of a base ship while showing the same class name inside the game. An example from FSPort FreeSpace 1: The '''SF Dragon#weakened''' ship, used in [[Enter the Dragon]], appears to the player just as any other '''SF Dragon'''.
**'''@'''. It's used before the proper ship name. It is fully ignored by the game. Moreover, '''@WhateverShip''' and '''WhateverShip''' are exactly the same name and therefore they both appear as '''WhateverShip''' inside the game. It just allows the user marking ships in the table because of any modding reason. In the retail FS2 ships there are several ships starting by '''@'''.

===$Density:===
*This defines how hard you hit something. If you set it very high, a collision will severely damage your ship, and push the lower density object away; the higher the numbers are, the harder they will hit and the farther they will be pushed.

==General Format==
*Ship.tbl is formed of several different sections.
*All sections beginning with <nowiki>#</nowiki> need <nowiki>#</nowiki>End before the next section.
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Default Player Ship'''
***Defines the default player ship in the game and also in the FRED. If in a mission appears a ship that has not been properly included to tables then game replaces the ship with the Default Player Ship.
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Engine Wash Info'''
***Includes all the definitions of all engine washes used in the game.
{{Table3610|
:*<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Ship Templates'''
:**Includes entries for ship templates}}

:*<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Ship Classes'''
:**Includes entries for every ship and also defines their attributes that are used in the game
:**Is discussed in detail at [[Ships.tbl#Table_Options|Table Options]] section.
:*'''$Player Ship Precedence'''
:**Player Ship Precedence is used in ship selection when a ship specified by the mission designer is not available to the player. The next ship on the list is used in its place (assuming that ship is allowed for the player)

==Default Player Ship==
*Defines the default ship in the game.
*Syntax: ''Name'', name of ship model as defined in [[Ships.tbl#Table_Options|Table Options]].

==Engine Wash==
*Defines the engines washes
*First entry must be named 'default'

===$Name:===
*Defines the name of the engine wash.
*Syntax: '''''String'''''

===+nocreate===
{{Table3610|
*In [[Modular Tables]] name can be followed by line '''+nocreate''' that prevent game from creating an incomplete entry by leaving the entry unread unless it already exists (either in ship.tbl or in earlier parsed *-shp.tbm files) by the time the *-shp.tbm is read.}}

===$Angle:===
*Defines the angle from the engine where the engine wash exists
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', degrees

===$Radius Mult:===
*Defines engine wash multiplier
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''

===$Length:===
*Defines the length of the engine wash
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', meters

===$Intensity:===
*Defines the strength of the engine wash
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', blast effect

'''Example'''

$Name: Default
$Angle: 10.0
$Radius Mult: 1.2
$Length: 400
$Intensity: 1.0

==Ship Template Options==

===+Use Template:===
{{Table3610|
*Another template can be used as template for the current template
*Syntax: '''''String''''', name}}

==Ships Table Options==

===$Name:===
*Model name that is used also in game. It is also used as name for the whole ship entry. There are two special characters can be used in the name: '''#''' and '''@'''
**'''#'''. It's used in the middle of the name. It makes the right part of the name not being shown in the ship class info of the target window, (or beside the target brackets in FS_Open builds). It allows making different versions of a base ship while showing the same class name inside the game. An example from FSPort FreeSpace 1: The '''SF Dragon#weakened''' ship, used in [[Enter the Dragon]], appears to the player just as any other '''SF Dragon'''.
**'''@'''. It's used before the proper ship name. It is fully ignored by the game. Moreover, '''@WhateverShip''' and '''WhateverShip''' are exactly the same name and therefore they both appear as '''WhateverShip''' inside the game. It just allows the user marking ships in the table because of any modding reason. In the retail FS2 ships there are several ships starting by '''@'''.
*Syntax: '''''String''''', name

===+nocreate===
{{Table3610|
*In [[Modular Tables]] name can be followed by line '''+nocreate''' that prevent game from creating an incomplete entry by leaving the entry unread unless it already exists (either in ship.tbl or in earlier parsed *-shp.tbm files) by the time the *-shp.tbm is read.}}

===$Density:===
*This defines how hard you hit something. If you set it very high, a collision will severely damage your ship, and push the lower density object away; the higher the numbers are, the harder they will hit and the farther they will be pushed.

Wanderer: update

{{Fileversion|6851}}


==General Format==
*Ship.tbl is formed of several different sections.
*All sections beginning with <nowiki>#</nowiki> need <nowiki>#</nowiki>End before the next section.
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Default Player Ship'''
***Defines the default player ship in the game and also in the FRED. If in a mission appears a ship that has not been properly included to tables then game replaces the ship with the Default Player Ship.
**<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Engine Wash Info'''
***Includes all the definitions of all engine washes used in the game.
{{Table3610|
:*<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Ship Templates'''
:**Includes entries for ship templates}}

:*<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Ship Classes'''
:**Includes entries for every ship and also defines their attributes that are used in the game
:**Is discussed in detail at [[Ships.tbl#Table_Options|Table Options]] section.
:*'''$Player Ship Precedence'''
:**Player Ship Precedence is used in ship selection when a ship specified by the mission designer is not available to the player. The next ship on the list is used in its place (assuming that ship is allowed for the player)

==Default Player Ship==
*Defines the default ship in the game.
*Syntax: ''Name'', name of ship model as defined in [[Ships.tbl#Table_Options|Table Options]].

==Engine Wash==
*Defines the engines washes
*First entry must be named 'default'

===$Name:===
*Defines the name of the engine wash.
*Syntax: '''''String'''''

===+nocreate===
{{Table3610|
*In [[Modular Tables]] name can be followed by line '''+nocreate''' that prevent game from creating an incomplete entry by leaving the entry unread unless it already exists (either in ship.tbl or in earlier parsed *-shp.tbm files) by the time the *-shp.tbm is read.}}

===$Angle:===
*Defines the angle from the engine where the engine wash exists
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', degrees

===$Radius Mult:===
*Defines engine wash multiplier
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''

===$Length:===
*Defines the length of the engine wash
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', meters

===$Intensity:===
*Defines the strength of the engine wash
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', blast effect

'''Example'''

==Ships Table Options==

===$Name:===
*Model name that is used also in game. It is also used as name for the whole ship entry. There are two special characters can be used in the name: '''#''' and '''@'''
**'''#'''. It's used in the middle of the name. It makes the right part of the name not being shown in the ship class info of the target window, (or beside the target brackets in FS_Open builds). It allows making different versions of a base ship while showing the same class name inside the game. An example from FSPort FreeSpace 1: The '''SF Dragon#weakened''' ship, used in [[Enter the Dragon]], appears to the player just as any other '''SF Dragon'''.
**'''@'''. It's used before the proper ship name. It is fully ignored by the game. Moreover, '''@WhateverShip''' and '''WhateverShip''' are exactly the same name and therefore they both appear as '''WhateverShip''' inside the game. It just allows the user marking ships in the table because of any modding reason. In the retail FS2 ships there are several ships starting by '''@'''.
*Syntax: '''''String''''', name

===+nocreate===
{{Table3610|
*In [[Modular Tables]] name can be followed by line '''+nocreate''' that prevent game from creating an incomplete entry by leaving the entry unread unless it already exists (either in ship.tbl or in earlier parsed *-shp.tbm files) by the time the *-shp.tbm is read.}}

===$Density:===
*This defines how hard you hit something. If you set it very high, a collision will severely damage your ship, and push the lower density object away; the higher the numbers are, the harder they will hit and the farther they will be pushed. Setting a density of 10 on a fighter with 180 hitpoints will cause the fighter to immediately explode if it collides with, say, an asteroid.
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', usually 1

===$Damp:===
*Damp affects how quickly you will accel/decel to your target velocity. Higher damp means slow acceleration and deceleration. The lower this number, the faster the ship responds. For example, specifying a value of 0.0 means there is no damping, in other words, people would say, "this has no physics, like Wing Commander." The more damping, the harder to control, but the more smoothly it moves.
*Syntax: '''''Float'''''

*Syntax: '''''Float'''''}}

===$Max Velocity:===
*Defines maximum velocities with standard energy settings on x (left/right), y (up/down), and z (forward) -axis (respectively). z -axis velocity defines the maximum forward velocity.
*Syntax: '''''Vector''''', three '''floats''', x-axis, y-axis, z-axis, respectively, meters per second
**Example: ''0.0, 0.0, 80.0''

===$Rotation Time:===
*Defines rotation times around the x, y, and z-axis. Number is seconds it takes to complete rotate a ship (360 degrees) around the given axis. X-axis is "pitch," y-axis is "yaw," and z-axis is "roll."
*Syntax: '''''Vector''''', three '''floats''', seconds per 360 degree turn around x-axis, y-axis, z-axis, respectively
**Example: ''3.0, 2.6, 5.0''

===$Rear Velocity:===
*Defines rear velocity
*Syntax: '''''Float''''', meters per second
**Note: This value must be set for [[Ships.tbl#.2BAburn_Max_Reverse_Vel:|+Aburn_Max_Reverse_Vel:]] to work

Weapon expl.tbl

Wanderer:

{{Fileversion|6581}}

Originally, weapon_expl.tbl recorded the number of LODs for each explosion image.

Regardless, when FS2 searches for additional LODs, it will use the animation with the specified name for LOD0, and then use "NAME_#" for additional LODs.
*Example: ExpMissileHit1.eff (LOD 0), ExpMissileHit1_1.eff (LOD1)

==General Format==
There is really only one section of weapon_expl.tbl, and that section has exactly one entry type.
*<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''Start'''
*The list of all weapon effects entries
*<nowiki>#</nowiki>'''End'''

==Weapon Effect==

===$Name:===
*Defines which explosion file this entry is for
*Syntax: '''String'''

===$LOD:===
*Defines how many LODs this explosion file has (up to 4)
*Syntax: '''Integer''', of LODs.

==Sample==

===Flak Guns===
*'''REQUIRE: "flak" and "particle spew" flags'''
*Must have inner and outer radius defined to have any effect.

{{TableVersion|4879|4879}}

Sounds.tbl is a file for defining the various sounds played ingame.

==Format==
*Table file consists of several sections
*First section defines the sound for the actual game play. It begins at '''#Game Sounds Start''' and ends at'''#Game Sounds End'''
*Second section defines the interface sounds. It starts at '''#Interface Sounds Start''' and ends at '''#Interface Sounds End'''
*Third section defines the flyby sounds for different species. It begins at '''#Flyby Sounds Start''' and ends at '''#Flyby Sounds End'''

==Game Sounds==
{{Note| These '''MUST''' be sequential, no gaps are permitted. Also note that some indices are reserved for hardcoded effects, see [[Hardcoded sounds|here]] for a full list. You can use empty entries as padding to fill out any gaps.}}
*Defines the game sounds by means of an index. Indexing must remain intact, so removing entries is not recommended. However adding new ones or altering existing ones is possible
*Cockpit sounds are in general non-3D sounds that ought to be of type '0', however all the other in-flight sounds are in general 3D sounds and ought to of type '1' (or type '2')
*Each sound is defined on a single line that begins with '''$Name:'''
**'''First''' value is the index number of the sound ('''Integer''')
**'''Second''' value is the name of actual sound file ('''String''', filename). The name of the file can be replaced with 'empty' if the particular sound index is not in use
**'''Third''' value sets the file to always preloaded before the mission ('''Integer''', 0 or 1)
**'''Fourth''' value defines the playing volume of the sound in percentages ('''Float''', from 0 to 1)
**'''Fifth''' value sets the sound type to either standard sound (type '0'), 3D stereo sound (type '1'), or Aureal A3D (type '2'). This defaults to 3D stereo if it is not available ('''Integer''', 0, 1 or 2)
**'''Sixth''' and '''seventh''' values are used to define the attenuation distances for the 3D sounds. These are not used with normal non-3D sounds (type 0)
***'''Sixth''' value defines the distance from the origin of sound where it begins to attenuate ('''Integer''')
***'''Seventh''' value sets the distance from the origin of the sound where it is inaudible ('''Integer''')

==Interface Sounds==
{{Note| These '''MUST''' be sequential, no gaps are permitted. Also note that some indices are reserved for hardcoded effects, see [[Hardcoded sounds|here]] for a full list. You can use empty entries as padding to fill out any gaps.}}
*Defines the game interface sounds. Uses sounds indexes as well. Indexing must remain intact so removing entries is not recommended. However adding new ones or altering existing ones is possible
*Interface sounds are not 3D sounds. Use type '0' sounds
*Each sound is defined on a single line that begins with '''$Name:'''
**'''First''' value is the index number of the sound ('''Integer''')
**'''Second''' value is the name of actual sound file ('''String''', filename). The name of the file can be replaced with 'empty' if the particular sound index is not in use.
**'''Third''' value sets the file to always preloaded before the mission ('''Integer''', 0 or 1)
**'''Fourth''' value defines the playing volume of the sound in percentages ('''Float''', from 0 to 1)
**'''Fifth''' value set the sound type to either standard sound (type '0'), 3D stereo sound (type '1'), or Aureal A3D (type '2') which defaults to 3D stereo if it is not available. For interface sounds, these are all type '0'. ('''Integer''', 0, 1 or 2)

==Flyby Sounds==
*Each species has two flyby sounds. One for the fighters and one for the bombers.
*Flyby sounds are all 3D sounds of type '1'
*Each flyby sound is defined on a single line that begins with the species name ('''String''', species name, eg. '''$Terran:''')
**'''First''' ( is the ship flyby type. Type '0' for fighters, and type '1' for bombers. ('''Integer''', 0 or 1)
**'''Second''' value is the name of actual sound file ('''String'''). The name of the file can be replaced with 'empty' if the particular sound index is not in use.
**'''Third''' value sets the file to always preloaded before the mission ('''Integer''', 0 or 1).
**'''Fourth''' value defines the playing volume of the sound in percentages ('''Float''', from 0 to 1)
**'''Fifth''' value set the sound type to either standard sound (type '0'), 3D stereo sound (type '1'), or Aureal A3D (type '2') which defaults to 3D stereo if it is not available. For flyby sounds, they should be all be type '1'. ('''Integer''', 0, 1 or 2)
**'''Sixth''' and '''seventh''' values are used to define the attenuation distances for the 3D sounds. These are not used with normal non-3D sounds (type 0)
***'''Sixth''' value defines the distance from the origin of sound where it begins to attenuate ('''Integer''')
***'''Seventh''' value sets the distance from the origin of the sound where it is inaudible ('''Integer''')

; If a sound entry appears in this file, there is a hook into the game to
; play the sound. This file can only be modified to change *existing* sounds.
; Talk to a programmer if you want to add brand new sounds. Adding a line to
; this file will not make your sound appear in the game, it will more than
; likely break something.
;
; If you don't want the sound to play, put none.wav as the sound to play.
;
; The fields for a sound entry are:
; 1) unqiue sound signature
; 2) filename of the sound
; 3) flag to indicate sound should always be pre-loaded before a mission
; 4) the default volume (from 0.0 -> 1.0)
; 5) 0 - not 3d 1 - stereo 3D 2 - Aureal A3D (if available), otherwise use stereo 3D
; 6) distance at which sound starts to attenuate (for 3d sounds only)
; 7) distance at which sound is inaudible (for 3d sounds only)
