In ''[[Star Fox: Assault]]'', the team used the money received from the Sauria mission to overhaul the Great Fox into a much sleeker looking ship, inside and out. It is now equipped with a long-range transfer system that can send Arwings and [[Landmaster]]s to a planet's surface when needed. However, during the final battle over the [[Aparoid Homeworld]], the Great Fox becomes infected by the [[Aparoids]], showing the weakness of the ship, by not having weapons on the sides or the back of the ship, making these areas easy targets for the Aparoids, as they cling to these areas so that the ship's front cannons cannot attack them. It is soon destroyed when [[Peppy Hare]] heroically sacrifices the ship (and nearly himself in the process) to destroy the anti-laser shield blocking the main entrance to the Homeworld Core. It is then shown that the bridge is intact, as it seemingly has an escape pod function. The Great Fox is also one of the multiplayer stages, only allowing players to fly outside it for air battles.

In ''[[Star Fox Command]]'', the Star Fox team has to get a new mothership after the Great Fox gets destroyed in ''Assault''. However, the new ship looks totally different from the Great Fox's past models, resembling more of a space-faring aircraft carrier than a battle-cruiser. It is also significantly weaker in terms of defense than the original Great Fox.  The original Great Fox could survive a simultaneous direct hit from three missiles and come out with only one wing destroyed, while the new one can't even withstand an assault by even the weakest of enemies, this could possibly be because of this ship being much less expensive than its predecessors. But its redeeming quality is the ability to carry up to three missiles which can be used to attack clusters of enemies from afar rather than attack them directly with a pilot.
In ''[[Star Fox Command]]'', the Star Fox team, faced with the loss of their mothership during their invasion of the [[Aparoid Homeworld]], have to purchase a new one.


The new ship, christened the "Great Fox II", was a decommissioned [[Cornerian]] Assault Carrier, which, as a result, had all of its weapons and military grade pulled, leaving just a basic hull. As a result, the ship is taxed in terms of defense, and is significantly weaker than the original Great Fox, to the point it can't withstand an assault by even the weakest of enemies for a prolonged period of time. However, this makes it more cost-effective and much less expensive than its predecessors. The ship was restored, somewhat, upon purchase, as it was able to use missile attackers on clusters of attacking enemies, which proved useful as by attacking and defeating enemies from afar rather than attack them directly with a pilot was far safer.


The Great Fox II was a decommissioned [[Corneria]]n assault carrier. Being decommissioned all weapons and military grade hardware are pulled, leaving just a basic hull.
The new ship looks completely different from the past models of the Great Fox, resembling more of a space-faring aircraft carrier than a battle-cruiser.
