You`ve installed a mod haven`t you?

The problem is that mods often replace other ships or weapons etc. Go to the fresspace2\data\tables directory and rename the ships.tbl file to something like Disabled-Ships.tbl

That will solve your immediate problem

The best thing to do is to copy your data drawer every time you install want to install a mod and install new mods in this new drawer.

I`ve got more information on how to do this in my FAQ. It's a good habit anyway and it's most likely that when the Source Code Project starts supporting multiple mods that it will also use a similar system.

Compaired to a Sathanas...maybe. Compaired to any other singular warship OR combined fleet of warships in the game? No.

Face it...the Colossus was DESIGNED to combat multiple warships at the same time in a firing arc that covers pretty much the entire vessel. There are not many aspects where a warship of serious power could sit and actually do any damage without being subjugated or exposed to a powerful beam weapon.

The Colossus was NOT designed to combat a singular warship of similar magnitude.

Indeed, it was made to fight various smaller cap ships, not same sized opponent.

But above of all it was build to be a sign of power of GTVA, its meaning to engourage GTVA units and make enemy surrender before the fight.

As usual portrait of power is destroyed and so it happened, since everybody always aims to head, not body...

Unfortunantly Shivan appeared to be Hydra...

We answered this over at HLP, but here it is again (In case it was somebody else asking, not sure who asked at HLP );

You're playing with the fs1port correct? Go to the site and download the Clash of the Titans II fix. it will then work.
