LOL (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) So I take it no one likes him. I thought he was a rather different character. He was the GTI spy you work with that planted remote bombs on the rebellion fighters. That mission was a bit confusing but pretty cool.

Yeah, it's not that we don't like the guy from the game, it's just that... we've gotten to know another Snipes... and we don't really like him. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) [j/k]

I'm gonna be real nice about this, even though it's about the 4th or 5th I've said this. This is a real quote, by a real person, made long before any of our parents, and hell, some grandparents, were alive. If you don't believe me, look it up. I have no idea where you guys get this quote from or why you think I messed it up so badly. But hey, it gets me attention. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

He only died because you failed him.
-
Nah, he couldn't have died because I failed him. I fullfilled all my objectives and completed the mission easily. At the end they said he tells you to escape if anything ever happened to him. In the mission after that the enemy tells you that he has been reasigned on another mission and they try to trap and kill you so you have to escape. After that they tell you that he had dissapeared so I assume they must have exicuted him? However his dissapearence leaves one open spot for my mission set (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) However I will need to find the original voice actor to play the part.

In the second SOC loop, you get to:
A. Save Snipes from Shivans in the Nebula.
B. See many Sathanas.
C. Fly a Mara.
D. Almost get run over.

don't spoil it for him.

I literally almost pissed in my shorts when I heard him yell for the first time. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) I jammed the stick down and hit the afterburner and got tapped on the arse as the Sathanas went by.

(http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/lol.gif) You guys are a funny lot. When I was playing this mission for the first time, sound wasn't working on my box so I didn't hear the warning at all. By the time I had finished reading the message I was already staring at the death sequence screen - Setekh has been killed in a collision with SJ Sathanas...
-
I dunno how, but I avoided it the first time. I think it's because there's a windows behind my screen, so I bent down to see clearly on the screen and that pushed the joystick (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif). Anyway I died from the explosion of the first comm node (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)

Don't worry about Snipes, he just went for another vacation in the Nebula like in FS2 (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Hmmm... I saw it coming, and assumed that since it was there we were meant to go through the warphole it made (this was before I realized that I could not go through subspace gates made by others. Imagine my suprize at crunching sound I made. Second try: "DIVE DIVE etc." Hmm, what did I do wrong last time? What does he meaCRUNCH. Third try- turned, hit the burners, ran straight into an arm and CRUNCH.

First time for me was right after I had started the game for a new bout of FS2 mission-playing, and I did't realize how loud my speakers were... He started screaming in my ears and before he got out all the "DIVE!"'s, I hit ESC and took a few breaths.... then, "Continue, PgUp PgUp PgUp PgUp, nose down and TAB!!!!!!!!!"

ROFL!!! I finally got to them after I posted this. The mission was cool but after I died over 5 times I accidently skipped the mission (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif) I'm going to play FS2 again anyways though cause the game is so cool. However I felt they needed a better battle at the end. I was hopeing to take out the 80 sathanas myself or something. What I don't get is...
1. Why did the Shivans take admiral Bosh?
2. Why would the shivans want to blow up the sun?
3. Where doese the knossos device lead to?
4. What were those unknown devices in the second SOC missions?
5. Why did some of the Sathanas stay and some leave at the end?

Shivan Comm Nodes. As for all the other questions - you're as much in the dark as we are... :-/

Easy way to kill those things..
Target the crystal subsystem and nail it with a double shot of Trebuchets...
Then run like hell...

Except you only get tempests.

I'm sure that you get Trebs for that mission.
I guess that I'll have to play it again...

No way. I'm sure I could change my loadout to have more than Tempests in that mission.
-
I think I died first time I blew those, too. hit backspace and fired Tempests into it from 100 meters away until it went BOOM. To my credit, I think I took the Shivan fighter that had parked right behind me and started shooting with me... Ah, memories.
And the answer to all of your other questions is: because it advances the plot.

then stops it in it's tracks.

or maybe we just think he died, its so like the super secret SOC to stage deaths to cover up stuff

FS2's Snipes is cool. Board-user Snipes is a major spammer, but he's otherwise cool.

I guess that u didn't play the second LOOP.SNIPES LIVES! (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
Snipes will play a very importnat role in my campaign. It would just be very sad that he dies (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)
Anyway, he wasn't honest when Alpha 3 asked him in that loop 3: What happened.
Snipes replayed that he (they) were swarmed by shivans in Gamma Drac and that they had to make an emergency jump. But in the Endgame mission Monitor reported that NTC Alexandria jumped through the portal. So who is telling the trooth (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/confused.gif)
