A throwaway reference to Snipes would be cool in a snippet of dialog. A great way to make a great campaign even better.
Alpha 1: "Okay Alpha wing, keep a tight formation and keep your jammers and scanners running. On their scopes we should look like a very average hunk of rock. With any luck these Martians won't know even know we were here."
Alpha 3: "..."
Alpha 2: "Something wrong 3?"
Alpha 3: "I hate this. If we're unlucky and we're detected it'll take at least a minute to power up the main drives. We're helpless like this."
Alpha 2: "We're outside their main traffic corridor, shouldn't be a problem."
Alpha 2: "I wonder about that, what if they jump right on top of us? Surprise inspection? We have limited intel as it is on this base."
Alpha 1: "Then we do the Snipes Shuffle and pray for the best, now cut the chatter and start acting like rocks."
Alpha 2 and 3: "Yes Sir."
...
*Jump signature detected*
Alpha 1: "Picking up a signature... now, jackpot boys its a Martian destroyer, probably the Cherubim. Command will want to know about this."
Alpha 3: "Distance 200 klicks and closing, drives looks damaged, she's hopping forward a few jumps at a time... trajectory is... oh no."
Alpha 1: "Damn it! They're going to smash right into us... we can't let this data be destroyed. All fighters, power up NOW!"
Alpha 2: "Sir... it's getting closer."
*20 seconds remain until collision."
Alpha 1: "I know."
**Another jump and the destroyer moves closer**
Alpha 3: "Sir!"
**Another jump and the destroyer moves closer**
"I know I know! Just pick a direction and BURN damnit! On my mark"
*5 seconds to collision*
**Power restored**
Alpha 1: "NOW PILOTS! Go weapons hot! Stay alive until the jump drives are charged. We're not out of this yet!"
