FreeSpace Trivia

• The "Apollo" pictured in the FS1 introduction cutscene is actually a modified version of the in-game Apollo. Its gun mounts are slightly different and off-center, among other changes. Perhaps :V: placed the Apollo's gun mounts closer to the centerline for the sake of playability. According to the FS1 reference bible, the Apollo in the intro cutscene is a "Terran bomber". The Manticore, too, has different fire points (mounted on the twin "booms" instead of centered like they are in the game).
• The PVFR Bast is the least-used ship in Freespace. It only appears once in the whole game, in the second FS1 combat mission. If you fail to destroy it, it will carry over into the next mission, Avenging Angels.
• You can target your own bomb using the target-object-in-reticle key. Your target display will show video from the bomb's seeker.
• It's FreeSpace, not Freespace (notice the capitalization of the S).
• FreeSpace 1 is called Descent: FreeSpace due to copyright issues with the disk compression utility FreeSpace.
• In FS1 Cutscene 'Hallfight,' the captured Shivan vessel is called 'Freighter,' but it's actually an Azrael transport.
• NTF wings were originally called "Corsair", etc.
