Was digging around the .vp files, and found this. I'm sure most of you have read it, but not all of you have heard it. The historic..
"Now go read a book." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeAmne1VuRI)

"When I make admiral, heads will roll!"
-
"Stop laughing there Co-pilot!"
-
"Stop laughing there Co-pilot!"
Reminds me of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtQanXDRAXM&t=1m29s).

The FS1 rear admiral through admiral debriefings were much funnier. They accused you of cheating.
-
i never made admiral through all the reinstalls i ended up doing back when i played religiously (playing on very easy didn't help either). was this the actual line out of the game, or was it thrown in with the outtakes somewhere?
-
All the admiral "debriefs" say exactly the same thing but with different voices, and yes, it really does say "now go read a book"... ;) I forgot whether the Vasudan ones say it as well...I think they did... XD

You really have got to stop cheating. This could become a natural thing for you... and that would be bad. Go on Admiral Cheater, I think you have to perform some ceremony or inspection or something.

The funny thing is that you can get to Admiral completely legitimately by playing the main FS1 campaign about eight times.
-
On insane and bombing a lot!
8 times..? really that low?
I can easily do commander in 1, not sure about captain..
-
FS1's campaign gives you forced promotions.
-
Uhm, what? Where?

While going through the actual audio for the FS1 promotions I discovered this gem:
$Name: Ensign

Heh, that reminds me of how the original Descent would flash "CHEATER!" in place of your score every time you killed a bot while using cheat codes. :D
-

i'm guessing you have to get the lucifer kill all 8 times. among other things.
-
You can't kill the Lucifer....
-
You can't kill the Lucifer....
I thought you could: disable the engines and then just hammer on it forever with lasers until it dies. Never tried it myself.
-
I thought the mission ended on a timer if you failed, I didn't realise the luci jumped oO
Then again I've played about 10 different remakes of that mission so ...yea...
I guess it's possible..

It does happen, I've seen it do that in retail FS1.

Uhm, what? Where?
In Black Omega (sm3-06):
$Formula: ( when
( is-destroyed-delay 0 "Anvil" )
( send-message
"<any wingman>"
"normal"
"Anvil dead"
)
( grant-promotion )
)
+Name: Anvil dead
+Repeat Count: 1
+Interval: 1
+Objective: Destroy the Anvil
Apparently in Training 3 as well, but I don't know if promotions work in training missions.
-
well i guess that explains the two promotions in a short time. i had thought the objectives must have been made worth a ****load of points.
and i thought you got credit for the lucy if you destroyed all/most of the reactors. guess not.
-
Guess I'm really off my game t_t 0 for 2!
Not that I'd ever know about fredded stuff =<
-
I think there is one mission, maybe Running the Gauntlet, where the Lucifer wasn't actually set to invulnerable, so you could technically kill it just by shooting at it all day.
-
FS1 Retail ONLY, I'm assuming.
-
didn't fsport remove the 'huge' flag or whatever it was that made them invulnerable?
-

It's actually in Awakenings. I had misremembered it the same way myself.
One of my roommates actually took it upon himself to destroy it with nothing more than a Valkyrie armed with Prometheuses and Furies. I was very impressed. We had a good laugh afterwards when it showed up again next mission.

No.
-

FS1 didn't have a huge flag. The Lucifer was explicitly set to invulnerable. If it's not invulnerable, you can kill anything in FS1 with primaries.
-
Ah, the good days of holding down the fire button...

FS1 did indeed have a "huge" flag. What it didn't have, and what you're thinking of, is the "big damage" flag.
-
"Huge" is a weapons flag that prevents it from firing on fighters!

Nope but I'm a little surprised to see even people on this forum watching the show.

Oh, I forgot about pic used for the YouTube clip. I am no longer confused, yay! :P

On my second play-through on hard of the FS2 campaign. I am a Commander with 1,165 kills.
Admiral would therefore be. . . twenty plays in?

Do you still get credit for the Sathanas kill in FSOpen? I imagine the bounty of points it nets you would make a difference. (ie if you don't get the points, it's kinda a big deal). Though, this is assuming the Sathanas is worth a lot of points I don't know.
Back in retail anyway, the beam damage wouldn't count for kills so if you did a bit of bomb damage to the sathanas and the colossus killed the rest of it off you'd still get the kill.
-
Yes, you can still get the Sath kill. Beam damage only counts towards kills if you change AI_Profiles.tbl
-
Sath kills make up 20,000 of the 50,000 points it took to get Commander.
-
Also kill the SC Thanatos for 10k
So saths and Thanatos will add up to 40k after 2 runs even if you kill nothing else.

You're kidding, really?

Check the wiki. and the mission file.
