What was your favorite piece of dialogue from Freespace (it can be from one of the official games or a user-made campaign/mission).
Mine was from a single user-made mission (unfortunately I forget the name or the person who made it); it went something like this (setting was GTVA ships were defending some installation against a Shivan attack):
Vasudan captain: Don't worry pilots, the GTD Alamo will be here soon to help us.
*In jumps the GTC Alamo*
Vasudan captain: Command! The GTC Alamo?!?! I was promised the GTD Alamo!
GTVA Command: Them's the breaks.
Vasudan captain: Them's the breaks?! Them's the breaks?!
I laughed for a while after that mission.
-
"Darcy you lying son of a *****!"
destiny of peace
"somebody set us up the bomb!"
silent threat reborn :lol:
-
You would be well advised to question the wisdom of your leaders....
-
I do rather enjoy the next segment of that.. "Helm, engage subspace drive"
-
Ductape chronicles from derelict are one of the few that struck me, along with some lines from WiH, JAD and DEM.
Favourite one... mmm, will have to think about it a while before I answer.
-
INFR1
*Superdestroyer jumps in during a cargo raid*
"Stay calm pilots, we have a situation developing!"
"No ****!"
-
Now that I think about it, overall favorite may have been too broad for what I intended. I just kind of wanted to focus on humorous dialogue or that which one found funny.
Could a mod please change the thread title to "Most funny Freespace dialogue"?
I may do an overall favorite one in the future.
-
haha shivin's you war us on too time's two many now we war on you
-
If you go for funny, I'd also go for the crazed Vasudan captain with "someone set us up the bomb".
Otherwise from WiH "Can we take them?" "I can. Try to keep up!" when facing the SOC wing.
-
As my signature says.
Actually, every frakking dialogue in JAD.
-
"That was a little too close. We gotta wait 15 minutes to change our shorts..."
^^
-
"Noooooooo!!!"
-
*monkeying about in the node*
"A Ravana just jumped in!"
Me: Kiddin' me?!
-
Command: "You're out of line, pilot!"
Alpha 2: "I can live with being a pawn if the game makes sense!"
(30 seconds later)
Alpha 2:" NOOOOOOOOOO!" /killed by anti-fighter guns
Command: (situation has resolved itself)
-
"Helm, engage subspace drive."
-
"False words of welcome from an invading army. Do not waste our time further with this parley.
Set a Red Alert throughout the ship. Prepare missile tubes and forward guns to fire on my command. Desperta Ferro! We die as we live: on our feet!
Signal Third Fleet HQ to send reinforcements. If you want our system, warmongers, you'll have to fight us for it."
-
"INCOOOOOMIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!"
-
Time for some serious dialogue.
"Yeah, don't count on that. Admiral Steele doesn't play by the old rules."
"Stand by, pilots. We're tracking an inbound jump signature."
"That's impossible. The Atreus was engaged near Luna five minutes ago. He can't jump like that, he'll wreck his reactor - blow his ship's own guts out!"
"So it's true, what they say. He's insane."
"Not insane. Reckless, relentless, and lucky. He's a gentleman psychopath."
You need to be friggin lucky for such a jump...Steele is the man.
"Tell your Admiral that some day we'll dance our little dance to the end - but not today, Vikrant. Not today. My compliments on a match well played. Helm, take us back to Jupiter."
-
"Avoid the beams and you won't get hit."
"What? Do I look Shivan to you?"
"Command, do you read me? They escaped! The whole lab is trashed, the scientists are dead, sent a team down here!"
"AUTOMATED WARNING: INTERNAL TEMPERATURE AT 27,000 DEGREES. DEPLOYING DISASTER BEACON."
"I can see people moving."
"Dragons. ****ING dragons!"

DIVE! DIVE! DIVE! HIT YOUR BURNERS PILOT!

Could a mod please change the thread title to "Most funny Freespace dialogue"?
since you created this thread, i think you have the privilege to change it yourself.
-
Stop laughing there, co-pilot!

DIVE! DIVE! DIVE! HIT YOUR BURNERS PILOT!
*SJ Sathanas sails over head*
you mean, SJ Sathanas engages figurative wipers to remove the smear you've made yourself on it the first time? :p
i know i didnt expect it and almost manage to make it in time. but nope. got caught...
*SCRAPE SCRAPE SCRAPE SCRAAAAAAPE BOOOM*
-
'Gods of War. None better.'
-
DIVE! DIVE! DIVE! HIT YOUR BURNERS PILOT!
*SJ Sathanas sails over head*
Ehhhmmmm, no.... it turned me into chunky salsa.
-
Moar diving, less splatting.
-
DIVE! DIVE! DIVE! HIT YOUR BURNERS PILOT!
*SJ Sathanas sails over head*
Am I the only one who goes to the left? :nervous:
-
There's me too. Mainly because, at the time, I didn't know the translation of "dive" :p
-
no lie, i've never been hit by the jumping sathanas. except the one time i let it hit me to see if it kills you or sends you 10 clicks out into space.
-
I go left, too. You can get away with any direction except up.
-
When that first happened, I just about jumped out my seat! And. . .its one of my favorite moments. :p
-
When that first happened, my afterburners weren't working, due to a bug (I actually played the entire campaign w/out burners the first time around).
-

*SJ Sathanas sails over head*
180 roll and CLIIIIIIIIIIMB!!!!!! Then a bank left.
My favourite.
-
I go left, too. You can get away with any direction except up.
I actually made it up, once, but usually I get clipped by the rear end of the Sath and spinny off into oblivion.
-
could be funny as hell to beef your fighter's HP and mass in tables and let a sathanas splat on you :P
-
It wasn't in that mission, but one time I managed to survive a collision with the Sathanas in Bearbaiting as it jumped out. I wound up several kilometers from the node in the opposite direction, but I was still kicking. :p
-
That happened to me once. I think that it took me so much time to get back to the node that I had no effect on the subsequent engagement with the Demon.
-
the first several times i played through, i had a hard time with that without being swatted by the sathanas. then it occurred to me to disable it first.
-

That would make my day! :lol:

Um... disabling a Sathanas isn't exactly an easy thing to do, even when you've got Helioses. The damned thing's got six engines spread across its massive hull. There's no way you'd manage to take 'em all out before she jumps.

That was my instinct the first time actually
It didn't end well so I did what he told me to the next time

That would be bloody hilarious
"DIVE DIVE DIVE"
"CHAAAAAARGE"
Sath - What is this fly doing...
"BURNERS!" *whack*
Sath - Wwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

the demon. it would always jump before i was done disarming it because you have to circle all over it to get to the various turrets, or my wingmates would just out and kill it before it was disarmed, which made the objective fail. i eventually learned to kill the turret that fires on the sobek first, then double-helios the engines and disarm at my leisure after telling AI to ignore.
-
Sorry, but your initial statement gave no references to the Demon, and mentioned the Sath whacking, so I assumed you were referring to the latter.
-
I'm very sorry for changing the parameters of the thread again, but after thinking about it I no longer wish to restrict this thread to 'humorous' dialogue. Any dialogue, serious or funny, is welcome. Last time I change this, I promise.
Another piece of dialogue I really liked (from Blue Planet):
"I know your military history, Admiral. Do you wish to be the next Koth?"
"Only if I lose. Only if I lose."
-
"That's two down, let's go for the triple play"
-

You must be new here.
-
I am relatively new here.
-
"I've been told we won't see them again in my lifetime. Such, is liberation."
-
I am relatively new here.
Thread parameters change all the time, even outside the control of the first poster. Don't worry about it. :)
-
It's kind of a tradition here, to be honest. :p

I like the ST:R variant of "Could one of you flyboys GIVE ME SOME COVER?!"

Second that.

In the same vein, all of the wingman trouble/death lines hold a special place in my heart.

Talking of Silent Threat (both):
INCOMING!

"I have no intention of escaping, Colossus, nor will I surrender. Even if I send my crew to hell with you, this monstrosity will be destroyed!" -Admiral Koth
"Sevrin, you're late! Vasudans blasted my entire squad and two cruisers out here! You want a rendezvous? Scan that debris field! That's the Sunder right there! You're a disgrace to the NTF, Sevrin! I'm filing a report!"
"The C.O. of the Sevrin has taken the brunt of Bosch's wrath for the Sunder's alleged destruction. The captain and his lieutenants have faced a summary court martial and will be executed at 0700. When you sign up for the wrong outfit, you get what you deserve." - Lt Cmdr Snipes
"Capella has gone supernova! Repeat! Capella has gone supernova! You must get to the Vega node and engage your jump drive now!"
"This is Allied Command, signing off. Godspeed, pilots." - GTVA Command
"As humanity emerged from its Neolithic infancy, they believed their voyage across the sea of stars woke a dragon that slipped beneath the waves, that the Shivans were birthed from the flux of subspace, and their destruction was the revenge of an angry cosmos." -Admiral Bosch

I can live with being a pawn if the game makes sense.
I can live with being a prawn if the cat food makes sense.
I can live with being a pawn (on a board of bone) if I have contingencies for the contingencies.

yo dawg we heard you like contingencies so we made contingencies for your contingencies so that when your contingencies fail you still have a contingencies

"Send fighters! I... I know they're following me, send everything you have now!"

Here we go again...
First off, from the official campaigns...
Wingman: Dammit, Actium, watch that friendly fire!
Command: Avoid the beam and you won't get hit, pilot!
Snipes: That was a little too close ... we gotta wait fifteen minutes to change our shorts. Well we've ... heh, STOP LAUGHING THERE CO-PILOT.
Snipes: Do not engage, I repeat ... ... ... ... dom dom dom dom-dom dom dom dom. Okay, had your fun?
...and now, from the fan-made ones...
We destroy to preserve.
Your people are safe now, Wanderer. Go now, and bring the rest of your race to enlightenment.
We will meet again when your people are ready.
Alpha 1: AAAAHHH!! I'M BLIND!
Command: You know I was sure we installed sunshields on all ships by now...
GTD Sasquatch: A Rakka...A Raskcha...RA...some Shivan cruiser just came out of the portal. Go kill it!
GTD Sasquatch: Ka-BOOOOOOOOM!!!!
Wingman: Uh, sir we can hear the explosion.
GTD Sasquatch: No you can't, there's no air in space. Sound can't travel through a vacuum!
GTD Sasquatch: You know, I think it would help if I started firing the beam cannons...
GTD Sasquatch: NOOOOOOO!!! How COULD YOU?!? BASTARDS! FEEL THY WRATH!
Wingman: Uh, it was only Beta 2, sir.
GTD Sasquatch: What are you talking about? They cancelled Firefly... again!
Alpha 1: AGH! Son of a...
GTD Bastion-A: Whoa, a ship just came through the Stargate! Looks friendly enough. Can we close the iris yet?
gtd harbringer: I keep telling you, that's not a Stargate, and stop making references to it before we get sued.
GTD Bastion-A: This wouldn't be happening if we had a DHD!
gtd harbringer: Just shut up and kill Shivans. You there, 4lpha 1 Clone, help kill Shivans too!
gtd harbringer: The Bastion-A has been destroyed! FINALLY! Where's your ship-guardian NOW? Er, stand clear of the explosion!
gtd harbringer: Great, another Sathanas. Command, we're gonna need bigger ships.
Command: Right, ok. How about the Icanus? Or maybe the Gargant?
gtd harbringer: This isn't a modded campaign! Just send the Colossus Reborn.
Command: You know if we had done this in Inferno like I suggested...
gtd harbringer: Just deploy the Giant Watergun and be done with it!
This is the GTVA Co...
HOLY CRAP! FULL STOP!! FULL ST...
NTF Iceni 2: Welcome my friends... TO THE DISCO INFERNO ASTEROID BELT!
Alpha 2: Dear god my ears! AAAAHH!!
Alpha 3: There goes Alpha 3...
Alpha 1: AUGH! WHAT THE F...
GTD Sasquatch: You're back! I knew it!
GTCv Firebird: Then why were you betting against him?
Alpha 1: Who cares right now. We got very angry people coming through that portal in a few seconds. Killing them would be nice.
GTD Sasquatch: Couldn't we just talk it over like adults? This war thing is getting pretty old.
Alpha 1: Uh... They're the ones that cancelled Firefly...
GTD Sasquatch: ...READY THE MESON BOMB!
GTCv Firebird: We shall return as Firefox!
NTF Roffle, may the god of Plasma Core Insertions have mercy on your soul.
You did a good job doing absolutely nothing. Keep it up.
