			''In FreeSpace 1, the instances you get to fly this bomber, this is actually a decent platform, even if you're reluctant to trade in the Athena for this. If you need to do real anti-cruiser/freighter work, the Medusa works, even though it takes time for the Tsunami to deal some damage (carrying 10 of these can do wonders for bombing runs). The instant you get the Ursa and Harbinger, leave the Medusa at home as the Harbinger is necessary for real anti-destroyer work.''


	''This bomber can be pretty useful, even in FreeSpace 2. Not only can it be mounted with a large number of FS2-era weapons, but its shield and hull strength did not become obsolete during the long years of the [[Reconstruction]] period. The main setback of this bomber is its lack of useful anti-fighter missile compatibility, not even the Tempest or the Harpoon can be mounted on the Medusa. To balance out this weakness, more anti-cruiser bombs can be mounted on it. The turret on the top of the bomber cannot be used for much (as it is typical in FreeSpace), but having only two monodirectional laser guns has the advantage of a basically low energy demand.''
