I played with the Voice Over for a while this evening. There isn't much to work from with Colossus lines. There are no lines with anything sounding similar to 'Three'. I found the word 'Multiple', but the tone isn't quite right.

What worked best was just shortening the line to "Command, the Shivans have undefended freighters in system" (instead of "four undefended freighters..."). Others can play around with that option, but there isn't much to work with.

The other option Zacam suggested is to add a 4th freighter.. and to keep mission balance, have it warp out pretty quickly. They are Shivans, we don't need to explain it. Personally, I'd have it going the opposite direction from the three and warp into the node.

Why not just have four freighters, period? Don't have it warp out, just have it do what the other freighters are doing. It changes balance, yes, but not severely. It's not much harder to destroy four freighters versus three, especially with a fixed beam-free-all sexp.

In fact, I wonder if Volition removed one of the freighters specifically because beam-free-all wasn't working.
