I have confirmed that the number of fightercrafts inside the Colossus is 240, and the page in the wiki is correct. Also, another new unit used for fighercrafts is a squad. A squad conists of 3 wings (So 20 squads inside colossus). I just want to post here first, since if someone has any opninions.

Quotes might be inaccurate. I recalled them from heart. - TopAce

I added the sidebar, but the picture messed with it so i rearanged the article, i'm preety sure the pic sholdnt be where i put it so we need a wiki-god to make it nicely positioned.--FireCrack 10:03, 16 Nov 2005 (CET)

Moved the image - still not ideal though. Black Wolf 12:11, 16 Nov 2005 (CET)

What about an in-game shot? I think with the HTL lightning, a better screenshot could be made. What about a nebula or a planet in the background? That would make it even better in my opinion. - TopAce 19:55, 22 Nov 2005 (CET)

  • So, should the picture be about SCP eye candy or the Colossus? --Selectah 06:17, 2 February 2007 (CST)

Do we want this page to be changed into a similar format with the other ship pages? I mean for the performance and tech room descriptions part? Wanderer 08:47, 16 Dec 2005 (GMT)

Yes, but leave all the current text into the article. - TopAce 18:09, 16 Dec 2005 (GMT)


There's a bug with the Colossus. If you play any mission with it, and tell your squad or wing to ignore a target such as a destroyer, the Colossus ignores that target too. AllStarZ 03:09, 20 July 2006 (BST)

Only on certain versions --Mars 03:13, 20 July 2006 (BST)

It's a bug with the game, not with the Colossus. And the bug has been fixed in the SCP. Goober5000 01:17, 26 July 2006 (BST)


Ships inside Colosuss' hull

I have confirmed that the number of fightercrafts inside the Colossus is 240, and the page in the wiki is correct. Also, another new unit used for fighercrafts is a squad. A squad conists of 3 wings (So 20 squads inside colossus). I just want to post here first, since if someone has any opninions. My proof is inside the Colossus cutscene, and start looking from 1:46.

Semantics

Reclassifying the Colossus as a superdestroyer seems a little silly. I can grant that the Colossus is never canonically labeled as a juggernaut, but neither is it designated a superdestroyer, and its size seems to demand a different designation.

Just because the Sathanas is more powerful doesn't strike me as a sufficient justification for the lesser label. A Ravana can rip a Hecate or an Orion to shreds, but we don't reclassify those terran vessels corvettes because of that comparison. The shivan juggernaut is more powerful than its GTVA counterpart in a head-to-head assault, but that tends to be true across all ship classes. -- BlueFlames 13:44, 4 November 2008 (CST)
