Title: What's the stupidest thing you've ever done in FS?
Post by: Grey Wolf on June 09, 2001, 09:14:00 pm: For me it's a tie between flying in front of where the Sathanus jumps in while trying to get a pic of the Knossos explosion, and flying a Valkyrie fighter right in front of an Orion while it was jumping out.

The silliest thing I've done is being ringside when the 2 pirahnas that I'd just fired spewed out 50 helios torps a piece and blew me south of heaven. (table editing rules!!)

My stupidest thing would be... flying infront of one of the Sathanas' beams one time in "High Noon". Ouch.

Post by: Snipes on June 10, 2001, 03:51:00 pm: Um... yeah...

I made a mission where you get rammed by a Lucifer as soon as you enter in mission...

And I flew a sathanas once... you know "R.A.M. Them 'till they give up"

Well, my wingmen never gave up, or me for that matter, and we all died in a matter of seconds (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Hah! I remember that mission! It is in Derilict, or maybe Warzone, right? I stayed as well, but after the 4th wing I was getting a bit impatient, so I ALT-tabbed into Windows to open up the mission and see just how many wings I could expect. There were 5 altogether, so I stayed and beat them all. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

As far as stupid... Hmmm... I never do anything stupid. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Actually, once I managed to force my way into the fighter bay of an Orion - right before it warped out...

Also, the second time I played the Derelict dream mission I wanted to see the pirate ship up close, as I had never had the patience to make a mission with one. Anyways, I forgot about the Sathanas that comes in... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Another is getting killed by friendly flak. Lesson learnt: if the Shivan Mara is flying close to a friendly Deimos corvette, choose another target unless you think getting ripped to shreds by friendly flak is fun.

Post by: Lt. Cmdr. Snipes on June 12, 2001, 12:35:00 pm: Stupidest thing I've ever done would have to be in the Enif Station mission. I was going for a wing of 4 NTF bombers. They launched bombs just before I shot the first one down. After I destroyed them, I went after the bombs. I was very close to them, and they were only a few seconds away from hitting the station, so I shot them all down at point blank range. Then I remembered my shields were out. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

There was also a time when I fired an Inferno, missed, and it hit a nearby Rakshasa, taking out my shields. I couldn't see properly in the explosion, so I rammed straight into it....

Post by: QXMX on June 12, 2001, 01:10:00 pm: In FS1, on the mission where you have to recover the Altair system data, I fired a Harbinger Bomb at the Typhon's weapons subsystem, then pulled up to flee. The bomb destroyed all my subsystems but left my hull at around 20% (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Post by: Sushi on June 12, 2001, 02:34:00 pm: Hull was under 5%, doing a desperate bomb intercept mission. I turned to follow close behind a cluster of 2 or 3 bombs as they headed towards the GTD something. Just before they impacted, I got them, with only about a second left. But then, just as I was turning to avoid the ship and exulting in triumph, the shockwave hit me...and you all know what happens to your controls then.

Rammage. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

Actually, I've done that quite a few times...

That thing threw me all over the place... then I destroyed the weapons subsystem, and it missed every time since... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/rolleyes.gif)

Still, I recomend you try it (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

I was 100m behind the two transports. The lucifer jumped in and fired an LRed at the transports, unfortunately the Lucifer was still going at 200m/s and the beam fried me.

Post by: Stryke 9 on September 27, 2001, 05:46:00 pm: One time I was fighting this Shivan... think it was a Mara, though it might well have been something faster. Anyway- it's running circles around me, and meanwhile his buddy is somewhere else taking potshots at the stupid old Herc... and every few minutes the one I'm chasing gets far enough that he turns around and shoots me. I finally jerked in the right direction just in time, for a second got a lock on him with doublefire Harpoons, blasted his irritating *** to the place where dead Shivans go... and I scream at the ship spinning out of control in the middle of "work". got in deep, deep **** that day.

And although this didn't happen to me, it's funny: I was introducing a friend of mine to the game, and he gets killed by a drone. I should have seen it coming there, but for some reason we managed to get all the way to "Lion at the Gate", whereupon he rammed into the Rakshasa and unloaded his Harps at 2 meters. Until that point I wasn't aware there was a message saying "____ was killed by your own missiles"

Post by: Stryke 9 on September 28, 2001, 10:28:00 pm: Oh, and an old story I forgot completely about: For the PA campaign, I was designing a blockade-runner mission. I'd never seen a mission where Alastors did anything but blow up, so I put the maximum number possible in a wide semicircle around a jump node, threw in a beam-freed Aeolus, and for a kicker put an Orion in the node launching multiple fighter wings (I think more than would fit in 12 Orions, in fact). On the player side, I made 3 wings- one of them with only 3 fighters all with only the basic AI. Then, I tested it...

I did some later ones, and made them very easy, so we'll see.
