Ganymede
- You wrote that the Ganymede is never used ingame, but actually it's used in a multiplayer dogfight. - Darth DySkO 18:28, 30 Apr 2007 (CET)
- True, but never used inside the Single Player. I would change that section soon.
Pics?
- Perhaps someone w/ a scanner (or pic files of the box art) could beautify the article w/ scans/pics/eye candy? Especially the "inconsistencies" section? I could do it, but I haven't neither the box nor any digital reproductions. Selectah 05:00, 6 July 2007 (CDT)

GVT Qeb
Says something about a concept art for a transport called the "GVT Qeb." Citation needed Snail 16:47, 3 April 2008 (CST)

Hatshepsut beam screensot (back side of the retail box)
Can anyone make it out which mission is it taken from? Because if I guess it right, it's the first mission. In the screenshot, the player flies the Herc II, which is unavailable in the first mission. - TopAce 09:04, 23 August 2008 (CDT)
- It's been a while since I played it, but I thought it was from the last mission of the FS2 demo. That said, it could also have been taken in an early version of a campaign mission that was significantly modified, or it could have been a mission ultimately removed from the game. -- BlueFlames 17:03, 23 August 2008 (CDT)
