For starters, suppose that you have 2 ships on a custom map. Alpha 1 is in a Loki, while Beta 1 happens to be an Orion. Save the game, start Freespace 2, go to mission simulator, and select this mission. When your there, go to ship selection and there will be 2 icons, Alpha 1 (you) is a loki, and Beta 1 is an Orion.

Issues: OMG, this thing is soooo slow---- Well, capitial ships arn't really speedy, but you can switch power to the engines and the ship should go much faster. I reached 60mph in a Deimos corvette.

There is a trick that FREDders can do while FREDding a missiion that can allow them to pilot ships that they normally can't. This includes freighters, cruisers, capital ships, and even the Colossus.

For starters, suppose that you have 2 ships in a mission. Alpha 1 is in a Loki, while Beta 1 happens to be an Orion. Save the game, start FreeSpace 2, go to the mission simulator, and select the mission. When you're there, go to ship selection and there will be 2 icons, Alpha 1 (you) is a Loki, and Beta 1 is an Orion. Switch those 2 ships and start the mission. Congratulations, you're flying an Orion now.
