It survives, just barely, note the Elysium transport docked to it. That transport had already evacuated non-essential personnel to the Bastion, and it was now docked with it in case the Orff was unable to make the jump, it would have evacuated the rest of the crew.
Dialogue: GTD BASTION: Alpha 1-9, thats the last group, only the Galatea and Bastion battlegroups remain in Deneb. ALPHA 1-9: Understood, we have an update on the Galatea status? GTD BASTION: Standby... ALPHA 1-9: Dragon class fighters arriving, Epsilon and Theta engage! We got a Basilisk wing inbound, Gamma wing move to intercept. KAPPA: This is Kappa, we're starting our run! ALPHA 1-9: More Basilisks jumping in, they're targeting the cruisers, Zeta and Iota protect the cruisers! GTD BASTION: We're picking up 4 wings of bombers with fighter escort inbound to our position. ALPHA 1-9 All Valkyries and Ulysses, disengage and return to the Bastion. GTC HAMMER: This is the GTC Hammer, we're under attack. GTD BASTION: Hammer, jump out, there is nothing you could do. GAMMA 1-9: We're too far out, we're not going to make it in time! ALPHA 1-6: This is Alpha 1-6, requesting... All wings engage. Priority taking down bombs and bombers, nothing else matters. I repeat, bombs and bombers, nothing else matters. ALPHA 1-6: Sky, 2 bombers, targeting the Orff, intercept. DELTA 1-6: Got visual, engaging. GTC GLADIATOR: The Shivans are retreating! DELTA 1-6: Damn, that was close. Good call, Alpha 1-6... Alpha 1-6, commander Handerson, you copy? (some time later) Ancient: And we retreated to our home system. Abandoned our empire. We believed at home we will be safe, for they are not a terrestrial species. We know when we entered subspace we were trespassers. For our planet is our home... Yet still they came.... And our world is gone.
This is extremely well made just seeing how they struggled in the beginning against the Shivans and doing their best to survive really goes to show how we never give up even when faced with unwinable odds. I really wouldnt mind being in the thick of that fight flying an Athena with quad avengers and tonnes of fury missiles. Keep up with the great vids
The music is sometimes a bit too loud and we can't quite hear what they say, but overall its very well made. I'm glad to see Freespace 2 content being made in the year 2021/2022
Theoretical personal Thoughts of Admiral Schima, GTD Bastion, after these Events: "Wolff, my old Friend. You've always been a good Admiral and Commander. I don't remember how often you saved my Butt from Trouble. But now...i'm ashamed to not repay you saving you this Time. The only Thing i can do now is to destroy that damned Lucifer before it reaches our Home. Just like it destroys Vasuda Prime. No, i will not let that happen. With your surviving Pilots, a lot of Harbingers, Ursas and an Iron Will we might be able to overcome the Lucifer. Or a Miracle maybe happen. Not that i believe in that. But i trust my Pilots. And i trust in Command. They may have a Plan. I hope they have. And the GTI may also come up with something. They always did. Despite they lost the Legion at Deneb. Although i not always approve of their Methods. So many Dead. The Shivans WILL pay for that. I swear it on all those Souls lost to them. For the GTA, for Vasuda and for Humanity" A great Effort you've put into this "cinematic" and it captured nearly exactly the Situation the GTA and the PVN were in at this time. Well done 🙂
Yeah this is awesome, as a longtime fan of the series since the first game, I commend this! I ran a demo at a movie theater for a computer store I worked at back in the 90s when this came out, we had a crowd of ppl wowed at the graphics of this game running on a high end PC. Unfortunately will never see another game in the franchise.
Damn! The Lucifer is such an ominous presence. You can feel the desperation in that Aten-class cruiser's crew. Running towards the node, praying that the Lucifer somehow doesn't fire on them. Perhaps she's still recharging from her last shot. Perhaps she won't regard a lowly cruiser as worthy of her attention. And then... Bam! 😬 Yikes.
FS2 Open installer... just follow its instructions. You can also use Knossos (wich i suggest you do). With Knossos you can instantly enable the latest Media VP's (wich are still getting updated btw.) and have the posibility to play mods after you finished FS and FS2 again. I reccomend Wings of Dawn (Duh! its the best FS2 mod existing sooo why shouldnt i reccomend it?) And obviously Blue planet (thou.... it sucks storywise... to much religion is thrown into it to be precise..)

All this madness, and the GTC Orff survives... one might wonder if she will survive the Hades Rebellion's final battle sometime later.

If a studio picked up freespace 3 it would kill it I today's market

Good job at the cinematic!!!

This is absolutely stunning and fantastic...
If only we could get some proper voiceover... XD

Fantastic work! ❤
If you ever need some Voice Acting on the cinematics, let me know. Would love to assist 😁
Amazing 🔥🔥🔥
My heart is happy like the little child i was back then
Great!
Aw man, Harbison survived the destruction of the Galatea by, what, minutes? ;_;
This is awesome
There is cockpit view in one of the mods? 😮
The one displayed here is fake, BUT, there are cockpit mods.
Where are the beam weapons?
Ahh man.. I'd have done voice work for you
I WANT A REMAKE OF FREESPACE☺
Omg, I need a tutorial on how to get this new Freespace open to work, I wanna play this so bad!

I like it, though i do think thay the voices are all just a bit too nonchalant
