Title: What did Alpha 1 . . .
Post by: Mars on December 06, 2008, 12:49:39 am
Say to his CO. . . I mean DAMN, front lines every time.

Or is the GTVA a very warlike society, and front line jobs are considered a good thing?

Of course your assuming Alpha 1 was the same pilot all the way through.

Maybe he was just was a suicidal individual with bad luck.  He volunteered for all the hard missions but just couldn't get himself killed.

Ypu request some quite duties after the excitment of the NTF war and the battle of capella.
You then transfer to Mirfax where nothing happens so you can relax.
At his point you are then killed by a random asteroid whist on patrol

You're assuming we flew every mission Alpha 1 ever did. Which is, frankly, highly unlikely. We saw perhaps one in five I'm guessing.

Also, beware the Murphy's Laws of Military Operations. Complete more than your fair share of objectives, and you will be given more than your fair share of objectives to complete.

Alpha 1 is only as godlike as the cybernetic entity controlling him. He could be as skilled as a cross-eyed child, or a hyperexited gamer. Next minute, he's an ace who can drop Shivans (Who are supposed to be "Destroyers" but still manage to get obliterated.) and NTF alike.


That brings a point. Your team of 5-15 ships can eliminate a virtually endless tide of fighters. And yet we still fear them. Well, Alpha 1 can wade through Shivans. Wingmates get turned to fodder. And you only hear news of defeats. Then you go and save them, winning the day.

AND NOBODY EVER COMES TO YOUR RESCUE. You'd think that you would get a complimentary bodyguard, or SOMETHING to protect you.

1: If he fails the mission he just replay the mission.
2: After five fails he mysteriously pass the mission by skipping it.
3: He seem to reform after Alpha One get killed. But it got a drawback. He need to restart the mission.

I know that its impossible since A1 remained in Sol at the end of FS1, but imagine what if A1 is the same in all three games?
1) normal pilot
2) got back and dealt with the Hades (seems to hate infernal gods)
3) in the end - as a 70-year-old senile - he returns and kicks Shivan ass (and a 3rd infernal god)

Thus, here is a quote of Alpha 1 based on the scenario above:

"Hey, what is this? A special Ulysses? No, it is a Myrmidon space superiority fighter. A space superiority fighter. A space supe... what? Anyway... how do I have to drive this spa... never mind, put me back to the hospital."

Before my last computer tanked, I made a harem campaign, where Alpha 1 was the only male in the entire company. He developed a romance with Delta 1, and all of the enemies had romantic names.

I have a tendancy to make Alpha 1 female, not that it usually matters for story purposes. But for the "canon" of my campaigns, the leader of the Blue Lions is female, and at least one of the other ones I'm working on has a female as the main character.

You know, that would be interesting with the right writing. :P

I have a tendancy to make Alpha 1 female, not that it usually matters for story purposes. But for the "canon" of my campaigns, the leader of the Blue Lions is female, and at least one of the other ones I'm working on has a female as the main character.

I have also the tendency to think of Alpha 1 as a female character. Mabye that is just the BSG Influence (Starbuck!) but Female Top Aces just feel more intresting then male ones.

Now THAT'S a surprise. I've never thought of Alpha 1 as a female pilot.

The thing about :v:, however, is that they made Alpha 1 a silent protagonist, just the Pokemon games.

And Half-Life. And I MIGHT be able to recover my old computer. Low chance, but it all depends if I can find another box to wire my Hard Drive to. It's fried though, so it may not work.

Gordon Freeman was also a silent protagonist? I didn't know that.

What did alpha 1 do bad on spelling tests? A1 profile is now apparently one of low iq. Like 60 or something. That's why he's command's yes man.

Who the **** would really do what A1 does? A1, see if you can fly into the lucifer's fighterbay. Yeah, that's almost a no ticket home, as well as many times it was a no ticket home.
Command's back at home with all of the comm officers snickering and being like "look i can't believe he actually did it, he didn't question it or anything...ROFLMFAOLOLOLOLOLDUMBASS".

If Alpha 1 is like anyone, then id lay it out like this:

FS1 A1: Kara "Starbuck" Thrace/Anders
ST(ST:R) A1: Aken Bosch...
FS2 A1: - Johnathan "Jack" O'Niell or Cameron Mitchel

A1 dyslexica
Only certain special A1's have this much misinterpretation when speaking with other folk. Makes ordering wing mates around a lot more tedious. Imagine if you had a whole squadron of these.

I said destroy most freighters!

I did not say destroy all freighters!!!!!!

On his birthday, Alpha 1 randomly selects one lucky star to go supernova.

Alpha 1 has replaced ‘plasma’ as the fourth state of matter.

Alpha 1 is the entire population of Beta Aquilae.

Will Smith once said, "I got to get me one of these." Alpha 1 does in fact have one of those.

God and Alpha 1 once made a bet for the souls of all mankind. The challenge was to see who could kill the most Shivans in 60 seconds, which Alpha 1 won by 3 Shivans. He still hasn't decided what to do with the all souls.

Contrary to popular belief, it was not the Israelite's trumpets which brought down the Walls of Jericho. It was Alpha 1.

Alpha 1 is the reason why the Shivans left at the end of FS2.

If you decline Alpha 1's orders, he will override it.

When Alpha 1 destroys an enemy capship, he doesn't get a medal, he gets a good laugh.

Joining Alpha 1's wing will automatically promote you to Admiral.

Continuing CireTheRed...

Alpha 1 is actually a rockstar. He's a hero as a secondary job.

Alpha 1 can bite through any kind of metal. He's part metalmole.

Alpha 1 doesn't need to breathe. He can use a plastic bag as his space helmet.

Alpha 1 knows where Elvis is, and has found a secret planet of leprechauns.

When the Galatea was destroyed, Alpha 1 flew into the burning wreck and saved over 400 women and children. And then packed them into a torpedo, which he threw at the Lucifer in revenge.

Alpha 1 is above the law. Court Martials have nothing on him.

Alpha 1 moves too fast for Mother Nature. He, in fact, kicked her in the face.

He owns a 200 foot pony made of chainsaws.

He has, in fact, defeated Chuck Norris with an oddly placed Tulip petal and a half a bag of frozen blueberries.

One last set of facts...


Alpha 1 does not break wind. He destroys it.

Alpha 1's edition of the VH1 show 'Where Are They Now' was the shortest in the show's history. It was 10 seconds long, and consisted of a black screen with the words "BEHIND YOU PILOT!" written on it.

Alpha never actually learned to fly, space simply moves to be where he is.

Alpha 1 invented orphans.


Despite popular belief, Command in fact ended the civil rights movement by getting on a bus....all caucasian people moved to the back.

Command is not black. It's just that the sun is to afraid to shine on him.

Command is the original black Power Ranger.

In desperation, the shivans tried to kill Alpha One by setting off a supernova... too bad A1 saw it coming and detonated it first, taking down a dozen juggernauts in revenge. :lol:
