It's the kind of ending where you see yourself as the lead pilot, back on Earth and looking up at the stars. A time of reflection to understand what it is that happened to you from beginning to end, and to realize that while the Shivans are "The Great Destroyers", your own race came dangerously close to taking the title.
You also know that they can and will come back, but for the time being you are free from that...your liberation from "The Great War". A chance to be at peace and savor victory.
@chuchofreeman In FS 1, the main batter was between the Terrans and the Vasudans who were both technologically in the same ball field as each other. When the Shivans came, it threw everyone outta the loop. Therefore, technological advances were needed to kill the Shivans because in the first incursions into Terran and Vasudan space, the Shivans were almost invincible because the ML-16 laser and the Disruptor cannon weren't enough to pierce the fighters' shields.
Classic, epic game. Music and voice acting was amazing and really added to the game. I think BSG (new series) must have been inspired somehow by that game, many similarities, even the uniforms.
Cause the moon doesn't have the supplies needed to support life. Why would they need buildings anyway. I mean, who want's to live on a bleak, lifeless rock? But no, you are not just seeing stuff, there are 2 vasudan ships in there.
It's strange that no vasudan ships took part in the battle in subspace against the Lucifer. What's even stranger is that no shivan capital ships in Freespace 2 had shields, not even the enormous Sathanas class.
i always asumed that the lucifer was a prototype. also if the shivan fleets don't have much contatct with each other thier technology may be different between groups. this could also explain why only the lucifer had beam weapons in FS1
Bit of a late reply I know, but there were four Thoths in amongst the 16 ships that come with you. The final Taskforce that destroys the Lucifer includes;
4 Hercs (in this video, Alpha), 4 Ulys (Beta), 4 Ursa (Delta) and 4 Thoths (Gamma).
He is right the shivans are the great preservers. without the shivans the terrans and vasudans would have wiped each other out in the T-V war but the shivans came and taught the 2 races to work together.
Actually, if the Shivans hadnt intervened, the Terrans would have wiped the Vasudans out. It was only a matter of time. Remember how badly they were doing before (and during) the great War?
Anyone notice that on Mass Effect the storys an iccle bit the same with regards to a great destroyer? lol. N the fact the "Reavers" aka the "Shivans" cant use shields or somthing in mass effect jumps lol.
I loved the Lucifer Juggernauts and the Sathanas plus the colossus and bastion but they are all gone now lucifer clearly destroyed, Juggernauts disappeared Sathanas, both destroyed, colossus destroyed by Juggernaut and bastion used as a jump blocker( It was blown up to do it ).
but at first i thought i hadnt doen it. when i first saw the Lucifer come out of the portal, kind of exploding but still in one pieace i was like. SHIT! i damaged it but didnt kill it. poor earth :( but then it exploded. and i was like. YES
haha do u have any idea how happy i was when i kicked the lucifer's ass? then i realized... they said they didnt know how many lucifer class destroyers there were. and now theres probably more haha
man, this brings back memories. I can play freespace over & over but I can never bring back the feelings from the first time i finished this beautiful game. who's with me?
oh god yah. theres no way to replicate that one feeling. like. your just. in AWE. you like. YES! omg YES. i fucken killed the LUCIFER! and that feeling is never quite the same again
Make's me wonder what the surviving Vasudans that got out of Subspace did, seeing as "all the jump points from Earth are gone". Would they have settled on Earth, or gone on one last final quest?
Wonder if the Lucifer was some kind of prototype wtfpwn ship the shivans made, because the Sathanas wasn't invinsible like the Luci... Anyway, the Lucifer is properly the most evil ship in gaming history.
the shivans have always been eclectic and esoteric. Some evidence evn points towards the sathanas not beig a warship, but rather a colony ship of some sort.. scary...
well, technology advanced a great deal in the passing 32 years. (most of that was done by copying shivan technology) if a lucifer would have showed up in the time of fs2, it would have had a nice battle even with Deimos class corvettes, not to even think about a modern destroyer, for example the hecate class. the colossus is out of the question. it would have vaporized the lucifer.
The Lucifer was menacing because until the end, we KNEW it was indestructible, and we could not stop it. The Sathanas, while impressive, was something we could destroy, we knew we could, and we did for the first one. It didn't have the same menace and malevolence that the Lucifer had
I'm not sure the Lucifer would have been so easy to defeat. Even with better technology, her shields would still be impervious to any attack. It could be easily destroyed but in subspace only, and at the cost of collapsing another jump corridor.
As for a Deimos corvette, face to face to the Lucifer, I'm not sure it'd last longer than the Galatea, for the Lucifer's beams would shred it to pieces in no time.
Depends. If you use a FS1 Lucifer against a Deimos, Deimos would die in no time. But they weakened in it in FS2, they replaced the Super Lasers with Small Red Beams, making it just a heavy armored target rather than a menace.
exept the quality because its an old game, great video !! +1
