	*If you ask me where a specific thing comes from, I could probably point you in the right direction. A lot of the stuff that isn't in-game is either from concept art or the Volition website. The FS2 website has an interesting section, Bug Fix of Day, which gives you a bit of designer commentary. I fear that some other statements (like "the Ra was used to deploy fighters" ??? ) are innacurate fanon, but what the hell. This is Wiki.

In the screenshot, the player flies the Herc II, which is unavailable in the first mission. - [[User:TopAce\|TopAce]] 09:04, 23 August 2008 (CDT)		Can anyone make it out which mission is it taken from?

			:It's been a while since I played it, but I thought it was from the last mission of the FS2 demo. That said, it could also have been taken in an early version of a campaign mission that was significantly modified, or it could have been a mission ultimately removed from the game. -- [[User:BlueFlames\|BlueFlames]] 17:03, 23 August 2008 (CDT)
