Good lad Nickless! Will no doubt be chatting to you tonight about it!
Erm... the Santhanas you couldn't take down on your own anyway, although I admit the mission where you had to cripple it's beam was a b1tch of a mission anyway.
I was on about a one to one fight.
The Crusiers of the Shivans (Supposdely weakest to hardest):

Cain
Leviathan
Rakshasa (Was this a Ravanna cruiser?)
Revanna
Demon
Lucifer
Santhanas

But I found the Leviathan the hardest.
NOT THE LEVIATHAN! The Leviathan was the GTA equilant. I'm ion about the Lilith. It was pain in the backside to kill

"FS2 was cool and all but I got bored of it too fast.

Freelancer all the way. "

I agree, I try to play Fs2 sometimes after Freelancer, but it doesn't have a good replay rate after you play for half an hour. But let me think deeper, hmm, Freespace for me (so far) you can get madals and promotions and other things like that. When freelancer does that, heh, you can guess what happens to poor old freespace. (Hey, it might be an antique some day)



!!!!!: THE LEVIATHAN IS A TERRAN CRUISER!!!The shivan cain counterpart is the "Lilith" trust my, i know my FS2

Hard to compare except they are both in space...

If I had to vote tho, mine would go to FreeSpace...
It is probably my fav title of all time.

One thing I really did like about Free Space was that it had simple training missions to teach you to use all of the controls. I much prefer that to having to sit there reading through a manual and trying to work it all out on my own. The training missions even were sort of fun.

Freelancer's "training" can get a bit irritating, such as in the Hovis mission -- when you restart the race and have to go through the instructions all over again.

Im a big Freespace 2 modder within another modding community that is currently upgrading the current fs2 engine. Open GL and other sorts of features have since been added, as well as greater poly limits and additions.

Freespace 2 is still my current badboy favorite. Classic in its own right.

Freelancer is great, no lie, i still play it for shear need to fly thru open space, especially Kusari with the best backgrounds, which i think freespace lacks.

Essentially gameplay wise, Freespace 2 owned, but the engine and graphics are one of Freelancers best assets.

IF FREESPACE2 was say done or redone in the Freelancer engine, then I would say, OMG... oodles and oodles of Systems to venture thru in FS2... it would be so serious and beautiful.
