What, do I look Shivan to you?
I've got a wad of duct tape I'd like to shove up your ass...
Those core detonators were a piece of junk! I even followed the directions!
I'm no native English speaker, I've never understood the fun part of "even followed the directions". Does it means he had a user guide explaining how to set up a bomb somewhere ?Apparently so, which I think is what most people find amusing about it. :p
I'm no native English speaker, I've never understood the fun part of "even followed the directions". Does it means he had a user guide explaining how to set up a bomb somewhere ?It's probably a cultural thing. In America, the stereotypical "hotshot pilot" or "awesome spy" will never need to read the instructions. (Witness James Bond when he tosses the instruction manual in front of the car with automatic turrets, and the car shreds it.) Sometimes movies will play with this trope, and will show the device malfunctioning or backfiring the first time it's used, requiring the hero to read the instructions before it will work.
Oh, and as far as applicability goes, "Avoid the beam and you won't get hit, pilot!"
Want to hear another story about duct tape?
Evade, evade, evade! Get outta there, get outta there!
Hard to imagine it would all end like this...
Save the Iceni for me, I'll take Bosch down myself.
So where's the Iceni, command? Let's end this NOW!
I know why the Ancient ones were destroyed and I know what they knew. I know that if not for the Shivans, they would have perished long before. Without the Shivans, someone would have discovered the Ancients in their infancy, and eliminated them, just surely as they eliminated countless billions of others.
I believe it is only the destroyers who are killed. The Shivans are the great destroyers but they are also the great preservers. That is why when we moved into space there was no one powerful enough to kill us. Long had we been the destroyer. Our turn had nearly come.
In the Vasudan war, we learned how to adapt, we learned how to study our enemy, we learned how to overcome, we learned how to survive. And so we did.
All the jump points from Earth are gone. But the Shivans can rebuild them. I'm told we can expect them again, but not in my lifetime. Such is liberation
They say our people have no present, only a past filled with horror and a future they can only dream of.
QuoteThey say our people have no present, only a past filled with horror and a future they can only dream of.
I used to like that one.
Then I played the campaign on Insane mode and got sick of hearing that dialog over and over. Now I hate it.
It had little to do with FS2's storyline though.The entire opening cinematic is pretty awesome quote-wise IMO. :nod:QuoteThey say our people have no present, only a past filled with horror and a future they can only dream of.
Well, it does is set the stage.Yep. I think the way Blue Planet used it as a sorta tether to ground AoA's very distant storyline in canon was excellent.
Of course, that's if they dont hang us for failing the mission. We may be pushing our luck here but what the hell

Best. Quote. EVAR. :lol:
...is it just me or do we not get those messages that much on SCP? I can't remember the last time I heard it.I'm not sure but I think they're from FS1/FSPort, so you probably don't hear them that much if you're used to play FS2 or FS2-based mods.
Ahh, a fav quote thread, theres one of those that pops up every once in a while.
While many quote FS2 and non canon, I will point out to the FS1 intro, although its not just one line :)
Comm: Sir, I don’t have anyone else on scope, you’re home free, pilot. It’s going to be all right.
Pilot: No it isn’t! You don’t understand, you weren’t there!
That one gives me shivers every time i hear it.
Whoever voiced "Lt Ash" is the best damn voice actor I have ever heard, period.

Btw, what's that "Just Another Day: Super Special Edition" ?The first Just Another Day campaign.
Edit: Does "Outtake" mean it's present in the mission but not in the story ? oO'An outtake is a recorded line that went wrong. It is definitely not used anywhere in the game, but apparently two outtakes were left in the .vps for teh lulz.

here's a good canon quote:
"What if there have been countless races... Stretching back into infinity... and like the nine cities of Troy each civilization had been built upon the rubble of the one that came before... Each anihilated by the Shivans..."
In my opinion, we should've had a few more instances of seeing the Lucifer kicking ass, especially the asses of our friends as well as a bit more development of Earth. Then, that line would've been truly epic. (IMO).I think the point was you didn't see Earth at all for the whole campaign, and still didn't in FS2. Which is why the picture of Earth in the endgame cutscene was so important.

This is one of the quotes that always has me fairly certain that Freespace 1/2 are some of the inspirations for the Mass Effect series.
Mass Effect is very good... It's maybe because it "smell" very much like Freespace, like darkdaej said. The similarity between FS universe and ME lead me to hope that maybe one day, we could reach REALLY these f*****g background planets and walk on them ! Would be interesting to meet Snipes in a ground base :lol:

Mass Effect was based on the books.
