@@ Line 21: / Line 21: @@
 I started playing FS2 by using cheats on every single player mission. Ironically, the demo disables progressing through cheating, so I do play through missions legitimately from time to time. When I cheat, I do it on Very Easy or Insane; the latter difficulty gives me insight into just how challenging the game can be, and I hold everyone who has completed the main FreeSpace 2 campaign on Insane without cheating in the highest regard. Extra points if the person has been playing the game on both single and multiplayer since the days of PXO and SquadWar.
-Despite the assessment of another member that I could probably do okay on Medium difficulty, I've never actually done it due to my teenage perception of "all or nothing".
+Despite the assessment of another member that I could probably do okay on Medium difficulty, I've historically avoided doing it under any circumstances due to my teenage perception of "all or nothing". Recent forays into FREDding have changed this, with my playtests being done on Easy difficulty.
 ===Ship Selection===

@@ Line 26: / Line 26: @@
 Ever since I started playing FreeSpace 2, I've preferred flying heavy assault ships and abusing ETS settings to fly them like a heavy interceptor or an afterburner with guns. The main reason for this is because I tend to overshoot or undershoot my target when flying an incredibly agile ship with a fast turn rate. I also scoff at pilots who seem to think that having a lot of speed and agility will make up for lack of protection. On the other hand, I acknowledge that even the best armour in the world won't prevent your destruction if you don't fly smart or fast.
-My first legitimate mission death was in [[Argonautica]], while I was flying a [[GVF Horus|''Horus'']]&mdash;a layer of shielding didn't stop the hurt from an [[SB Nahema|''Nahema'']]'s Piranha explosion blowing away the remaining 23% of my hull. I've reserved a special hatred for the Horus since then, described in more detail below.

 # '''[[GVF Horus|GVF ''Horus'']]'''&mdash;Perhaps the only ship in FreeSpace canon that can truly make me openly use the word "hate" on it, the ''Horus'' flies like rubbish with me behind the controls. AI ships in FreeSpace love to pitch a lot, and the ''Horus'' as the most atrocious pitch and yaw rate of any fighter I have ever flown. A small moon could easily fit inside the amount of time this abomination takes to do a 360-degree turn. Forget the fact that it's fast ''if you can't even turn properly''. The [[GVF Serapis|GVF ''Serapis'']] may be less durable, but at least that thing's nimble enough to avoid exploding [[GTM Piranha|Piranha]]s. This ship cannot.
-# '''[[GTF Perseus|GTF ''Perseus'']]'''&mdash;My dislike for the ''Perseus'' has waned a little ever since I started to learn how to pilot agile ships with a keyboard more effectively, but it's still there. I know a lot of FreeSpace pilots love the ''Perseus'' because of how it perfectly balances speed, agility, durability and loadout. On that regard, I agree. However, I find the ''Perseus'' to turn a little too quickly for comfort. This was the first fighter I flew where I kept overshooting targets. If I'm just shooting down bombers and bombs, the ''Perseus'' is probably one of the better ships I can ask for. For everything else, I'd rather fly a [[GTF Myrmidon|GTF ''Myrmidon'']].

 # '''[[GTB Medusa|GTB ''Medusa'']]'''&mdash;Crap turret, crap missile capacity compared to other bombers that are more easily available, crap because I don't really like ships that only support one primary weapon, and sub-par agility that is not really necessary when you fly a bomber.

 # '''[[GTF Nyx|GTF ''Nyx'']]'''&mdash;I find it difficult to overstate this fighter. It has eight gun mounts, cavernous missile banks, relatively good speed and agility, and is very durable. It's a difficult choice between this and the ''Ares''.
-# '''[[UEF Uriel|UEF ''Uriel'']]'''&mdash;Nothing is more satisfying than hearing the sound of the Archer after using the mouse to make a precise aim at a far-off turret. It seems to turn a bit too slowly, though that might only be my imagination given how the fast pace of skirmishes between the GTVA and UEF.
