In no particular order...
1. Communication between Bosch and the SC Rephaim.
2. "DIVE! DIVE! DIVE! HIT YOUR BURNERS PILOT!"
3. The entire Transcend campaign.
4. "A SHIVAN CAIN CLASS CRUISER JUST JUMPED IN! IT'S THE TARANIS!"
5. Any mission in a dark nebula.
6. Any mission in an electrified nebula.
7. Any mission in a nebula without substantial fighter/bomber cover and a cap ship to hold my hand.
8. GTXG Gorgon Canon
-
The command briefing before Lion at the Door where you first hear brief4. The moment that music starts rolling, you just know something is up, and that it's not gonna be good.
-
The Mission with the Actium and the Lysander.
In the first part of the mission you and the two Deimos class corvettes kick some Shivan asses, but then you could see someting big in the Nebula.
OMGWTF BEAMZ!!! :)
-
Pandora's Box in Fs1, when the Shivan fighters jump in and start attacking you while you're scanning stuff. You know you're only going to leave one of two ways, and scanning the cargo starts to look like a better plan.
-
"Oh my God! It's the Lucifer!"
Also, mission 6 in Silent Threat: Reborn is pretty scary. :)

Mission 6-- can you refresh me on that one please?

Somebody remind me to get myself a USB joystick so I can (re)start playing FS2 again, m'kay? ;)
-
Scariest one was the moment I heard "Target exceeds superdestroyer specifications." :eek2: :shaking: :shaking: :shaking: :shaking: :shaking:
LLivingLarge, what's the GTXG Gorgon cannon?
-
"Oh my God! It's the Lucifer!"

I Call Bull**** till i can see some proof!
-
Definitely the "Dive! Dive! Dive!" message. That one really caught me off guard the first time I played the game, as I was busy thinking about how cool it would be to fly a Mara.
Somebody remind me to get myself a USB joystick so I can (re)start playing FS2 again, m'kay? ;)
Just play with a keyboard like I do. :p

The nightmare sequence in Derelict was very well-done, as was any sequence in the Transcendant's nebula. Actually, the first time I had ever been generally freaked out or scared by a FS campaign was in Sync, right after the first jump. The sheer calm of the arrival really made a first impression: something felt wrong, and there was something wrong, and then nebula mission that followed really sealed it. Pretty much any slow and/or nebula mission by Ransom Arceihn is scary enough.
I'll agree with Pandora's Box being good, but the entire Altair series of missions really did it in for me, with the Lucifer arriving and pouring out fighters on the transports, then to the understanding that you and your squad are pretty much alone behind enemy lines.
Of course, nothing can beat just the sheer atmosphere of FS1 in general. The whole game just had an eerie tone to it. Listen to the Monolith track if you don't believe me.
-
Derelict, when you hear the Narlythotep (probably didn't spell that right...) transmit for the first time. You get the mounting sense something is wrong the whole mission, and then this Lucy starts speaking Shivan and you're like "Oh HELL."
-
1) Any of the nebula missions in transcend.
2) Any of the nebula missions in transcend.
3) Any of the nebula missions in transcend.
4) Any of the nebula missions in transcend.
5) Any of the nebula missions in transcend.
6) Warping in right in front of a Sath in ITLD
7) Lucy waking up in Derelict
8) Whenever hostiles warp right on top of me when im in a bomber.
-
Also, mission 6 in Silent Threat: Reborn is pretty scary. :)
I Call Bull**** till i can see some proof!
Fair enough. Not sure how long it'll take, though.
I actually designed that mission with the express purpose of being as scary as possible. :) I think Ransom Arceihn may have one-upped me though. :(
-
There's a mission in MindGames that made me nervous as hell even though it was me who designed it (Miburo did FRED it though). :)
Lion's Den and Transcend win the award out of missions others might have tried.
-
I think Ransom Arceihn may have one-upped me though. :(
Ransom Arceihn is to mission design as Blaise Russel is to campaign making. They both have the ability to do something far better than most of us here, be it by making an utterly terrifying campaign or by pumping out a bunch of campaigns.
I'm still waiting for ST:R nevertheless. Spook Moments x The Other Spooks = Spook^2. :D
-
First mission on the other side of the nebula. The binary star system, the 3rd knossos, the dozens of sathanii coming in, it all just gives you a "we are in so deep" feeling.
-
Transcend was just one ****ing huge screamer...
You know it's coming... You don't know when though.
-
I think Transcend will have to get my vote, too. Scariest moment:
When you hear the Transcend trying to communicate with you and says, amongst static, something like "Help me...", *silently* "Help me...", *suddenly, VERY loudly, heavy background static* "PLEASE!....".
Haven't jumped so high before while playing a game. Not even Dive3 managed to scare me that much.
-
I'd say....
1. Derelict (the Nyarlathotep)
2. Trancend as a whole...
3. DIVE, DIVE,DIVE (It has that feeling that the Shivans will (literally) run over you...)
-
Transcend = Mindrape
-
Transcend gets my vote too... At first I was like: WTF? Then when things started to go more haywire and I kept hearing those scary whispers I was totally crapping my pants 24/7 until I got the mystery solved. :shaking:
Second place goes to "Oh my god! It's the Lucifer" from FS1... I did let out a similar girly scream as in "Dive3", but in FS2, the moment was quickly over and it was just shooting Shivans in an uber fighter. In the FS1 mission was tense athmosphere, then comes the Lucy (damn near running me over, hence the scream). Then you start thinking that those plans command mentioned are shot to hell thanks to Lucy appearing. You are just hanging there, in a shivan crapheap that aint working hoping you are not noticed. And command wants you take a closer look... :eek2:
So that was a great mission...
-
Transcend, definitely.
-
The first time I played Apocalypse... I jumped out with literally moments left. You could hear the supernova roar, the screen was changing colors, I was absolutely certain I wouldn't make it into subspace.
-
LLivingLarge, what's the GTXG Gorgon cannon?
He's referring to the mission in Derelict where the GTVA tests an experimental defensive weapon against the Shivans. It's one of my favorite moments from the campaign as well.
-
Supernova...yeah...
When you're running to the node like crazy, pouring everything into afterburners and counting the seconds to your demise :D
-
FS1: Pandora's box and Playing Judas. :shaking:
FS2: Into The Lion's Den. First time I played that mission I hit the commit button and I was thinking, "Okay... I'm going into the complete unknown... I should be expecting the unexpected, right? Hmm... probably LOTS of Shivans... ok, just relax... when I get in, I'll look around, see what's up, then maybe I'll start shooting at--DIVE DIVE DIVE!!! :eek2: (Yeah... I utterly failed to react in time, so I went splat and had to restart the mission.) :mad:
Other: Transcend, for general terrorism. ;)
-
Maybe I should play Transcend....
-
I'll bet a lot of people are thinking that after reading this thread :)
-
BWO-E1MX :)
-
The early part of Derelict is rather creepy, I always found, purely because there's not much happening, but you constantly have the feeling that something is about to happen. Finding that dead ship in the asteroid field, and of course the dream sequence...
Oh, and the Nyarlathotep waking up - especially with the new version, where all the lights suddenly switch on. It's a classic "ooo bugger" moment. :D
-
BWO-E1MX :)
You big tease...! :p
-
Supernova...yeah...
When you're running to the node like crazy, pouring everything into afterburners and counting the seconds to your demise :D
Running from battle is grounds for treason. Traitors will be met with death.
Citizens of alliance, remember! Be vigilant - our Alliance, and the survival of our species, is under several threats.
Religious fanatics are interested in soft values, afterlife and signs of weakness. Their incohorent ramblings are of no use to those who defend the Alliance with their lives.
Traitors, collaborators, dissidents and idealists endanger the very pillars on which our glorious Alliance is built: Sacrifice, aggression and war. Peace is no substitute for victory. To even question the Alliance borderlines treason, and there is only one price one can pay for that sin. Let our enemies beware.
And above all, the age-old enemy, our very nemesis, lurks behind hidden, dying stars; their filthy alien fingers reaching for the heat that is the Alliance, their obscene ships being an abomination to both Terrans working fervently for greater good and for Vasudans dwelling in their righteous, just wrath. As long as even a single Shivan threatens us, there can be no peace. As long as there is even a remote chance that their black ships degrade the Allied space, there can be no rest. To fight them, we must become them. Do not question.
There is no peace. There is just Alliance. Those who serve have earned eternal life as our idols of worship. Those who don't have only deserved pity, persecution and death. There is only one taste more bitter than that of defeat, and that is the taste of not fighting at all. For an allied citizen, there is nothing more glorious than killing the enemies.
Serve today. Join the Fleet, for tomorrow it might be too late.
For Alliance and for eternal glory of Terra and Vasuda!

For some add reason i phrase 'Service Guarentees Citizenship' came to my mind....

Ok goddamnit
"It is better to die for the Alliance than live for yourself."
LETS KOOKIE
-
Maybe I should play Transcend....
Do it, but play Sync first. A lot of things in Transcend will either make a lot more sense or make you think more if you've played Sync first.
-
...Sync?
-
Yes, Sync (http://fs2.webdl.org/campaign-49.htm). It's Ransom's other campaign and is theorized to have some connections with some of the story in Transcend, though they are not actually sequels. It makes sense to play Sync first, though, IMHO.
-
Do I need a certain SCP build?
-
Transcend requires a mid-2005 build (preferably anything past July 2005), while Sync requires at least 3.5.5, so pretty much anything out now would work for both. :)
-
To be honest the creepiest feeling moment in any FS camaign was in Transcend:
In transcend, when your near the end and all of the ships are mindlessly going to the nebula. The last mission was creepy as well, although it seemed not nearly as awkward as the missions where the gost ships were all appearing and moving to the nebula
Oh, and can someone give me a link to download derelict? :D
-
Starship Troopers, anyone ?
:lol:
the only good bug....is a DEAD bug..... :lol:
-
Oh, and can someone give me a link to download derelict? :D
Campaigns forum for the re-release. My FAQ's downloads for the original non-scp version.
-
Definitely the dream sequence in Derelict. That was perfectly put together!
-
Having not played this Transcend everybody's talking about, I'll have to go with the classic WTF moment from Playing Judas.
-
I never really got scared in FS1 or 2, but moments that <mythbuster bigfoot> fa-wreeeked </mb> me out were:
FS1: Having my warp drives fail at any time when I needed to jump out. (Playing Judas??)
"Oh God, It's the Lucifer."
FS2: Lysander and Actium's demise.
Bosch ETAK mission, in the nebula, where they supposedly board the shivan corvette.
Bosch's cutscene, where he's drifting through the nebula, and some shivan destroyer is drifting right behind him.
Homesick: Last mission, very unnerving. Imagine yourself in that situation. In that fighter. At the end. Makes you want to have a little freezer-gun like in the opening of Descent 3.
-

To quote the great Samuel Dravis... "POOR MATERIAL DEFENDER! You were so close."
-
Um... so I went and played Sync. Is it supposed to end that abruptly?
"We did this. It's all our fault isn't it?"
-
the only things that scare me the most in every campaign....from the fs1 old edition.....when the lucifer can to deneb.....i couldn't get out of the why....but one thing that was funny i went right through the ship....lol.....from fs2: the sec mission of the sec soc, diving under the SJ....from Derelict.....that 3rd mission or 4th that SJ.....came out right in front of me....scare the hell out of me....lol.....and Transcent...nice holloween campaign.... ;7
-
Homesick, in the nebula with the Typhon.
You can barely see the silhouette through the fog, it's pushing through the subspace vortex, you're hoping like hell it'll make it through...
... and it blows up halfway.
-
When the Ravana impaled me with one of its beam cannon arm thingys when it jumped from subspace to right where i was in the nebula.
At the moment, i was going to reverse my fighter and pull a attack run on a shivan cruiser, when i hear a subspace portal open, and next thing i know i have been impaled by the Ravana..
That also almost happened with the mission where the Sathanas is heading for the, i think Capella Jump Node, and i just destroyed the last beam weapon arm, then it starts powering its subspace drives while im right infront of it, and it missed me by a inch..
-
I almost peed myself in transcend. It was the audio files and blinking.
Running into big shivan cap ships in nebulas is always scary.
Subspace missions give me the heebee jeebees too.
-
1.) Freespace 1 Intro
2.) Transcend
3.) Sync (both are simply great!)
4.) The last Mission with the GVD Psamtik, another Portal and then a new Sathanas show up
5.) The Ravana
and the last but not the least
6.) Capella goes Supernova
-
hmm lesse....the dream from derelict and the mission where your in the nebula looking for snipes transport, playing judas in the original...havn't placed trancend or sync yet but as soon as I get my new rig built I will
-
FS2
Bearbaiting, where you have to shoot of atleast 2, preferably all 4 of the Sathanas' arm beams.
On the first run, finnaly shot of the first two beam canons, moving across to the other side to attempt the other two and hearing, "The Sathanas has engaged it's subspace drive, get out of the way pilots", realising where I was, twisting around, and seeing the Sathanas head straight at me at full speed....
Into the Lions Den, also on the first run, DIVE DIVE DIVE, ofcourse going, WHA?, then seeing the Sathanas
Apocalypse, hearing the star has gone super nova, and figuring out I was at the back end of the final convoy, way too far out from the node, racing for the node......
Course I was shot down in my slow ass Erinyes cause I diverted all power to engines, and the Dragon's had no trouble keeping up....
-
hmm I was thinking maybe when you actually get hit by the supernova and your screen goes white and its just DURRRRRRR *poof*
-
"If you destroy this installation, you sign the death warrant of our race!"
-
"As lightning fall" is actually pretty suspensful....or downright annoying, depending on the player.
The feeling that you are (almost) alone in the nebula, filled with EMP Storms, searching a disabled transport that can only be reached trough a maze of naw beacons. And of course, the friendly shivan-infested neighborhood is always nice... :lol:
-
Seeing Sathanas #8.
-
... And realizing it's just a flying trinagle...
-
I never understood why the far-off Sathanases were just triangles. Is it just because they were so far off that that would be what the player would see if they could see them? Or did Volition just skimp on the models? If so, why?
-
It allowed [V] to have the flickering red dot effect on the HUD from the Sath Capella fleet without having most players find the floating triangles of doom.
-
Plus, try putting several Sathanases on one map and having the game run smoothly.
-
Didn't they come up as a different ship class, too? The SJd Sathanas?
-
If :V: didn't change the ship class in the Alt Name field in FRED, then yes they would have. I don't remember that ATM tho.
-
I think the most scariest part of Freespace Universe was the Intro video for Freespace 1. I was like WTFMas#$@$#@%. "oh my god!!! We're dead!!! WE"RE ALL DEAD!!!" *shivans warp in* "AHHHHHHHH!!!!"
"Picking up unknown jump signatures"
*shivan ships emerge and shoot down the crippled fighter*
*dramatic sad music as ship explodes into pieces*
I don't know about you guys but that was the darkest mother F$%@#$ video i've ever seen. They should make an honest movie about freespace. It would be like the wing commander movie only better. And they can make 2 movies already, the great war and freespace 2: gamma Draconis, (some crap like that). WHo knows. Today's technology has really evolved. The trouble is who WOULD be a good director, screen writer etc...
-
"oh my god!!! We're dead!!! WE"RE ALL DEAD!!!" *shivans warp in* "AHHHHHHHH!!!!"
I still find that part funny as hell... Big ship jumping in and viewers attention is focused on it, all the jump-in noice. Then you hear in the background this guy yelling and raving like a lunatic. I know he's supposed to be panicking, but it just sounds so goofy... :)
-
FS2: Into The Lion's Den. First time I played that mission I hit the commit button and I was thinking, "Okay... I'm going into the complete unknown... I should be expecting the unexpected, right? Hmm... probably LOTS of Shivans... ok, just relax... when I get in, I'll look around, see what's up, then maybe I'll start shooting at--DIVE DIVE DIVE!!! :eek2: (Yeah... I utterly failed to react in time, so I went splat and had to restart the mission.) :mad:
I was doing that exact same thing, except that when i panicked i smashed down my joystick on accident. :lol:
in order:
1. Into the Lion's Den
2. Transcend campaign
3. Sync
4. Pandora's Box

lol i guess, but if you just relax and think of yourself in a situation, comparable to paintball, you're running from some dude who has a crazy mofo paintball gun automatic noob cannon and you don't know what happens. mind you paintballs do hurt esepcially when you get peppered with 200 of them all over. anyways, compare that to running the #$@% away from an armada that seemed to vanish (because they are probably harassing him thinking that he can run only to track him to ros 128 - could be the explanation :P - when you diverted all power to engines since sheileding wasn't optional, you chaotically fly to ros 128 and try to warn them, but you're so damn scared that its impossible to go step by step on what happened. even when you first watch that (before you even play FS1) you're like what is he talkign about? Then You don't know where the enemy is, you look around you, frantically running then: "THEY ARE COMING, SEND SNIPERS(who cares?) WOOSH *head shot* lets go back to FS1 *reeezowwww* *subspace portals open everywhere* *wirring shivan engines of death* *shivans fire* *bzow bzow!!!* AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! *terran ship blows up*
*freespace logo*
*has soiled self*
-
Sorry to necro, but I feel this topic could use some new input. Sync and Transcend were terrifying, even the briefings were scary. The scene in BP WiH (you know the one) was also pretty freaky.
-
YOU'RE NOT SORRY AT ALL
-
CAPSLOCK IS SCARY
-
AND HOW!
-
It's old, but it's definitely the scariest moment in FS2. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrchciHCI8A#at=17)
-
That is a good rush, but I think that after reading through the first few pages here, I have to agree with one of the earlier (as in years) posters herein that the Marie Celest[sic] mission from Derelict is really quite startling the first time you play it, and after it's over, it has such good character. :)
-
It's old, but it's definitely the scariest moment in FS2. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrchciHCI8A#at=17)
Link the version with the new HTL Sath instead!
-
Iiyaaa~...I was hoping I'd snag someone with #at=17, until I forgot...actually, I didn't know there was a HTL version of it.
-
Haha, reading this necro thread reminded me of how creepy transcend was.
Transcend was that campaign where you're flying through red Nebula, and ships start disappearing left and right, right?
-
I never found Transcend to be all that creepy for the Nebula. BP: AoA was creepier in the Nebula as you'd look to the side and then see a ship - out of nowhere - and then it would disappear. Transcend's most frightening element was the Generation by far.
-
No way, Transcend is still the scariest **** out there.
-
Yeah, mos def Transcend.
-
Windmills last mission. When you're winning and destroying one side, and then forced to switch out of the blue, and when you're winning again, another switch happens with no hope of surviving.
-
I'm kinda odd, I guess, because the only FS campaign that has successfully weirded me out, even having played Transcend and Windmills, was Into the Depths of Hell of all things. I don't even understand why, given that it played like an action movie and there were some truly bizarre plot twists in the later chapters, but the whole "fleeing in random directions from the Shivans" thing affected me more due to being in what was ostensibly their territory. Plus, say what you will about ItDoH's storyline, it made the Shivans as implacable as I've ever seen them.
-
1. "Memories never die."
2. The ships from Sync flashing in front of you in the second to last mission.
3. The Incontrovertible missions in the nebula.
Not from Transcend:
1. Sync: "We're out of time."
2. Sync: Seeing the lifeless wrecks of the other ships that were pulled into subspace at the same time.
3. Derelict: The Marie Celeste.
4. WiH: That eye flashing in front of you. That ****ing eye.
-
4. WiH: That eye flashing in front of you. That ****ing eye.
I thought of Lord of the Rings when I saw that. That entire mission was pretty creepy though.
Of course I'm going to go with the Transcend crowd here, but my scariest moment was not the voices. The first was when that huge ****ing subspace vortex appeared, and when we went to investigate, there was nothing but a cargo container. The second was when we were making a run for the node and all these subspace vortexes appeared all around and we had to fly through them to get to the node. Things like that weird me out more than the whispers (though those were pretty damn scary too). Damn now I really wanna play Transcend again. Or maybe I should get around to playing Sync.
-
The scariest part was when the Transcend appeared in front of you out of the blue, the sound it played... dammit I jumped out of the chair.
-
That nebula mission in AoA....
I was flying near Corey and then those vishnan ship appeared in front of me O___O

The scariest ever was when the Ravana showed up in The Great Hunt. It was the first time I came up close to a ship of destroyer size.
It was like, everything was normal, our two corvettes just decimated everything that jumped in, until some ****ing monstrous hell of a ship jumped in... :shaking:
The scary part is that I came quite close to it. Being very misty, it was as if you were swimming underwater, when suddenly a Blue Whale appears, right in front of you. :shaking:
I seriously thought there was some kind of a Boss Battle next, and that this warship...or so it seemed more like a monster...was behind all this racket. It looked just...invincible. I remember doing sort of a suicide run, just to increase the dramatic effect, towards it from under, firing all my lasers, missiles, EVERYTHING...I wanted to KILL THIS THING! It was, however, impossible to stop, given my weapons. So I just...jumped out.
The briefing that followed it didn't seem very dramatic, I expected more of a "we have encountered a gigantic warship earlier, whose intimidating appearance has caused utter terror and shock to our fellow pilots. We are now scrambling all available warships in the vicinity and the surrounding systems and are preparing a mass attack. The capabilities of this warship exceed any of which we have known. The destruction of this target, if and only if indeed we succeed, will deal a devastating blow to the Shivan advance" kind of speech.
However, it was more like a "we've encountered a new type of destroyer. Now get back to work and we'll send wingmen with you. Just destroy that warship." speech, which sort of sounded anti-climactic.
The "Dive Dive Dive" thing pretty sure surprised me, but was no reason to be scared of...on the first attempt, I even escaped it, unlike some of you :lol:.
The Sathanas' appearance didn't scare me, as it was predictable that a "Juggernaut" would appear as I've read in the Internet. In other words, I already expected a huge Shivan ship to appear in the game.
Another memorable one was in the Procyon Insurgency. I just had to destroy that hell of a super-powered Hades. At that time my skill level wasn't good, and I hadn't much experience with battling massive capital ships yet, so I ended up cheating by just simply spamming Helii on it.
After a tough, hot battle, I thought it was over. The destroyers nearby were powering their main guns, and fired their epic beam cannons which shred apart the seemingly invincible ship...
...until.... :nervous:...
...there was this cinematic, of Dasmar's ship blasting in a majestic fireball...but wait...
...the Knossos is spinning rapidly...faster...faster...faster....hell faster still...there's something going on...something terrible has to come out of that mad portal.... :nervous:
...WHOOSH! A ****ing colossal Inferno Ancient-esque warship appears! What is this monstrosity! :shaking: :eek:
...and I have to destroy it! Destroy THAT! :eek2:

Scariest moments:
standard flak

Standard Flak doesn't scare me more than that hugeass wing of Dragons popping out of nowhere after you blow up that hibernating Manticore and having to AB many many many many many miles on my Aurora being chased.

It was like, everything was normal, our two corvettes just decimated everything that jumped in, until some ****ing monstrous hell of a ship jumped in...
I seriously thought there was some kind of a Boss Battle next, and that this warship...or so it seemed more like a monster...was behind all this racket. It looked just...invincible. I remember doing sort of a suicide run, just to increase the dramatic effect, towards it from under, firing all my lasers, missiles, EVERYTHING...I wanted to KILL THIS THING! It was, however, impossible to stop, given my weapons. So I just...jumped out.
The briefing that followed it didn't seem very dramatic, I expected more of a "we have encountered a gigantic warship earlier, whose intimidating appearance has caused utter terror and shock to our fellow pilots. We are now scrambling all available warships in the vicinity and the surrounding systems and are preparing a mass attack. The capabilities of this warship exceed any of which we have known. The destruction of this target, if and only if indeed we succeed, will deal a devastating blow to the Shivan advance" kind of speech.
However, it was more like a "we've encountered a new type of destroyer. Now get back to work and we'll send wingmen with you. Just destroy that warship." speech, which sort of sounded anti-climactic.
I'm guessing you played FS2 before FS1
-
Actually, I played FreeSpace 2: Colossus first.
-
I decided to play Transcend after seeing this thread and... wow.
-
I remember playing transcent through the night, home alone, after i watched Alien. I had trouble cliclking the commit button with every new mission.
-
I hate when I being told to fly faster and faster because I am like 1000m away, also, it sounds like a monster talking to me when I use full volume.

TSM 107C.
:shaking:

"Don't be afraid, this is just a training simulation. Just observe the action for now."
-
Homesick, trying to disable that GTVI Science cruiser. Hell, I never thought a Faustus could kill you repeatedly with a missile launcher!
-
I had problems with the NTC Maelstrom's Terran Turrets and it's explosion, and getting killed repeatedly by a Hercules because during jousts the AI will sit there like a turret whlie I AB in a circle non-stop with the enemy not in sight wondering why I'm getting hit even though I'm in a Perseus. And why one Subach HL-7 shot can penetrate a fully-shielded Perseus from the front with full ETS to shields. Insane FS2 campaign is rageworthy at times especially due to having no side thrust. But for scary, still can't beat Slaying Ravana and Into the Lion's Den.

Finished Silent Threat: Reborn...
"Unidentified structural threat"
Until i realized what it was and how to get rid of it, my Loki had like 12% hull left...
-
OK the start of Into the Lion's Den was scary as hell. But I never taught that a tev-corvette....YES a goddamn tev-corvette would try this. It was during Blade Itself. Because I'm a fanatic Ubuntu, I charged that Diomedes-Corvette and nailed that ship with Apocalypse and the forward gunz. But the tevs got better.

One of the scariest POV-moments ever (in my opinion). You are about to shot the crap out of that ship, but then it is rushing towards you, not a fighter, it's a corvette. A CORVETTE. And yes, everyone here got nearly crushed by a Sath, but in my opinion, this was ultimatively unexpected.
EDIT: And then I played the "Ken" mission.....
lvlshot FTW -- The E

My first apocalypse, fighting my way through waves of bombers etc ending up 10 k from the node only to hear THAT sentence. . . "Capella has just gone supernova pilots." and immediately telling my charge to go **** itself as I flee in futility at full burn in my Aries :lol:

Was scared too but I fought till the end for more drama.

Transcend is totally freaky when played at night!
The whole opening of Blue Planet: Age of Aquarius
-
Mission 19 of WiH2. The part where you're flying really close to
oh wait ****
-
Goddammit now Snails doing it too.
-
bad snail don't make me get the shaker

My scariest FS experience was actually a nightmare I had way back when I was a kid. I remember being in subspace, trying to guard some Elysium transports from hoards of Shivans. I was doing quite badly, and Command was screaming in my ears: "ALPHA 1, YOU MUST SAVE OUR SCIENTISTS!"
I remember screaming a bit and waking up.
I've always wanted to actually FRED this, but there isn't really much to go on.
-
Wow you must be REALLY scared of that Command guy to be haunted by him in your nightmares.
