-Compact and deadly, this cruiser’s only real weakness is its anemic [[SGreen]] beam cannons. Replacing them with a pair of [[AAAf]] beams would fit the vessel’s role better and make it even more of a nightmare for fighters to get close to. Why the GTA never made this refit is a mystery, as is their decision to only build 24 of them. Maybe they were a testbed or something.

 The claims the Aeolus is typically used for convoy escort are very much justified in practice - with only fighters and bombers to worry about in practice when it comes to guarding freighters and transports, the flak guns and anti-fighter beams of the Aeolus can drastically magnify the otherwise pathetic defensive armament of a [[Faustus]] or a [[Poseidon]], either by shredding incoming assault fighters targeting the transports or letting the otherwise meager guns of the civilian ships chip away at attackers while it receives their ire. This effective magnification also works well when reinforcing an outpost or guarding a cargo depot - it's hard to kill a [[Watchdog]] when you have flak raining down on you.

	The later versions of the mediavps Aeolus include a fighterbay with working docking paths. AI-controlled ships can use this fighterbay to arrive in and depart from the mission without issue, but physically, even the tiny [[GTSh Mercury]] wouldn't fit within the fighterbay's height clearance.

−	{{FS12_Ships}}	+	{{FS12_Ships}}The '''GTC ''Aeolus''''' is an [[Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance\|Allied]] [[Terrans\|Terran-designed]] cruiser. It boasts more turrets in total than any other [[canon]] cruiser in the [[Freespace_2_Era_Craft\|GTVA arsenal]]. Both the GTVA and the Neo-Terran Front use several of these vessels in ''[[FreeSpace 2]]'', and the [[:Category:FreeSpace_2_Demo\|FreeSpace 2 Demo]] places another in the hands of the GTVA. The ''FreeSpace 2'' tech description states that production was discontinued two years prior to [[the Second Shivan Incursion]], and only 24 were produced. However, the tech description was never made available to the player in the game, making its reliability debatable. In-game references warn of this ship's formidable anti-fighter weaponry.
