2. Introduction
Descent Freespace is a space simulation game. In this game you combat against various ship types and species. The game has great graphics and has a great storyline with many unsuspected twists. I have thoroughly mastered the game and have purchased the sequel, and enjoyed it greatly too. You will find this game has a great deal of replay value, since I have been playing this game for nearly three months, and most of my games last 1 month in my top slot if they are very good.
This guide gives the command briefing if any, briefing, ship and weapon selection, mission objectives, in-mission directives, debriefing if any, and most importantly, strategy on what happens in the missions and how to complete them. Feel free to e-mail me with suggestions or information that I might have missed in this guide.

********************
*GTDR Amazon- The Amazon is a simple drone used for basic combat training. They are unmanned, and carry only the weakest of weaponry.

*GTS Centaur- The Centaur Support ship is designed to get in and out of battle as quick as possible. It is fast and quite maneuverable, allowing it to dock with fighters in a minimum amount of time.
Most notable about the Centaur, however, is its extremely large explosion radius. The amount of warheads carried on a support ship makes it very dangerous to be close to an exploding Centaur.
Overall Value: 3
*GTFR Poseidon- The Poseidon is the standard military freighter in the
GTA. It is designed to protect its cargo from any kind of attack, and has four turrets with which to do so.
Overall Value: 5
