Play any mission in FreeSpace 2, target something and look at the bottom-left of your HUD.

Re: Those special FreeSpace moments...
In the first FreeSpace, when you have to disable the Vasudan Aten-class ship that's packed with explosives and trying to ram your ship (I forget whether it was the Galatea or the Bastion - prolly the Galatea), and you manage to take out its engines when it's about a meter from the Galatea... and you collapse with relief... then, when the Galatea moves to jump out, it brushes the Aten and blows up. Is Tenderizer the name of that mission?

And I know it's been said, but Playing Judas... moseying along, scan this, scan that, try to enter the Lucifer's Fighter Ba- CRAP! RUN!

 
Re: Those special FreeSpace moments...
Yeah, Playing Judas scared me the first time. And then the classic "Dive, Dive, Dive!!!"

Those were the days...  :rolleyes:

Tenderizer was a great mission. I really liked how the HoL just came out of nowhere after reprogramming those turrets, then the Amuns showed up packing Tsunamis...

The target-view model needs more polygons.  :nervous:

Doesn't SCP allow you to use LOD 1 for that now?

Fav moments.

anything with Snipe in especially the classic Dive moment, the Sathanas actually rammed me first time lol. ;)

The frustration at the death of the Gala to the then unstoppable Lucifer  :hopping:

Actual despair at the death of the Colossus  :(

I knew beforehand that the Colossus would be destroyed, so I was kind of like "Oh, so that's how it dies. Cool."

Re: Those special FreeSpace moments...
I once killed a Mara by ramming it while flying a Boanerges. It felt good.

my best random kill i can remember was lobbing twined trebs at a Seraphim and as I hit the fire button an enemy fighter blasted past me it ran into one of the launching missiles both went bang kind of spectacular style :D

I had something similar happen, only it was a friendly fighter that got in the way.

Sorry random ally, totally didn't mean to blow you up.
