not a lot, since i had to read it by pressing f4 20 seconds after the imperiuse arrived.
I like to stare at the sun.

I liked better the part when the Sathanas tried to hug me and then blew up when made first contact with my ship. It couldn't stand my alpha 1, it's understandable. That part was filled with mega-awesome. Although I heard there are other endings, something about a sun...

In case you didn't know, low FPS (particularly if it's fractional) can reduce beam damage to silly values (because of how the game handles beams). That's the point of the joke.

More specifically, whenever the framerate per second gets lower than 5.88, or compress time above 8x or 16x, beams will inflict reduced damage.

Breakdown of my responses through DE's ending:

'Yeehaw!  We got 'er!'
'Wait, I've got a bad feeling about this...'
*Sees message*
'No... oh dear f**king lord no...'
*Imperieuse arrives*
'FFUUUUUUUU FINE I'LL KILL YOU TOO!'
*Some seconds after I check my secondary stores and I notice my battlegroup has turned and fled*

<Nuclear>   truth: the good samaritan actually checked for proof of citizenship and health insurance
<Axem>   did anyone catch jesus' birth certificate?
<Nuclear>   and jesus didnt actually give the 5000 their fish...he gave it to the romans and let it trickle down
<Axem>and he was totally pro tax breaks
<Axem>he threw out all those tax collectors at the temple
<Nuclear>   he drove a V8 camel too
<Nuclear>   with a sword rack for his fully-automatic daggers

Esarai: hey gaiz, what's a good improvised, final attack for a ship fighting to buy others time to escape to use?
RangerKarl|AtWork: stick your penis in the warp core
DarthGeek: no don't do that
amki: don't EVER do that

I felt like I'd been kicked in the nuts and had my lunch money stolen. Steele is a magnificent bastard, AND SO ARE YOU, BP DEVS!

Seriously, though - powerful emotional moments are few and far between in gaming. I fiddled while Rome burned, if you will, just staring at the screen. Half of me wanted to cry, the other half wanted to laugh in a bitter, bitter way.
