Alpha Wing 2

Alpha Wing 2 - Before the retail release of Descent: FreeSpace, a number of Alpha and Beta versions were shipped to various testers and magazine editors in order for them to get a preview of what's coming, plus it allowed them to advertise the coming game. There was a lot of unique gameplay content in the Beta and the Alphas-of which there was a total of two; content that was not included at all in the released versions of the game or was changed to the point of unrecognizability. Some of the Alpha-only content included things such as unique ships-the Shivan cruiser Caldera and the Terran cruiser Juggernath-and unique dialogue deepening the storyline.
