What did you think when you saw that line for the first time playing Delenda Est? :)

not a lot, since i had to read it by pressing f4 20 seconds after the imperiuse arrived.

I liked better the part when the Sathanas tried to hug me and then blew up when made first contact with my ship. It couldn't stand my alpha 1, it's understandable. That part was filled with mega-awesome. Although I heard there are other endings, something about a sun...

The people on the Indus could use a high rating in that second one in a few minutes.

In case you didn't know, low FPS (particularly if it's fractional) can reduce beam damage to silly values (because of how the game handles beams). That's the point of the joke.

Post by: X3N0-Life-Form on September 23, 2012, 08:03:50 am
More specifically, whenever the framerate per second gets lower than 5.88, or compress time above 8x or 16x, beams will inflict reduced damage.

Breakdown of my responses through DE's ending:

'Yeehaw!  We got 'er!'
'Wait, I've got a bad feeling about this...'
*Sees message*
'No... oh dear f**king lord no...'
*Imperieuse arrives*
'FFUUUUUUUU FINE I'LL KILL YOU TOO!'
*Some seconds after I check my secondary stores and I notice my battlegroup has turned and fled*

I felt like I'd been kicked in the nuts and had my lunch money stolen. Steele is a magnificent bastard, AND SO ARE YOU, BP DEVS!

Seriously, though - powerful emotional moments are few and far between in gaming. I fiddled while Rome burned, if you will, just staring at the screen. Half of me wanted to cry, the other half wanted to laugh in a bitter, bitter way.

Considering I spent the entire mission uttering profanities and deliberately wiped the mission several times because I refused to disarm to Iolanthe or Denaira.. I was super jacked.

My reaction to the end segment of the mission in this order

"No ****ing way, Carthage get the hell out of here. You UEF bastards will pay for this. Whats this? **** YEAH. Eat it Katana."

Tev for life.

In case you didn't know, the reason everyone thought it was so funny at first was because they thought he meant SPF as in Sun Protection Factor. Like the measure of how much sunscreen protects you from UV expsoure. Like the crew of the Indus is experiencing an SPF breach. Like no amount of sunscreen can save them now. :blah:

Something along those lines.

"Captain, we're getting a Priority One transmission from the Carthage...it says that the fighter designated 'Deva 2' is confirmed to be QuantumDelta."
"QuantumDelta?! Active the Plot Armor NOW! Divert power from auxiliary beam cannons if you have to! Deploy all available wings to provide close escort of our forward beams!"
 "Plot Armor engaged, sir!"
"Deploy bomber wings to several of their flanks, no closer than seven clicks out! We need to do everything we can to draw that monster away from the fight."
"Captain, Deva 2 is still incoming, by himself! No, wait, there's a support ship following him in!"
"Overdrive the point-defense beams and pulse turrets! All hands, brace for emergency maneuvers!"

Id argue receiving that transmission would warrant immediate surrender.  I know I would, or I would at least withdraw.

Then meson bomb the site from orbit, the only way to be sure.

Completely failed to give my first thoughts. They were:

When the massive subspace transit line should play I thought nothing. When the cutscene started and you see that destroyer sliding in I thought "Oh... ****."
Then proceeded to stay very close to Indus.

The fact that you actually have to do what your orders specify in BP2 is very nice (and got me killed on several occasions). I'm used to disobey orders by FS2 command. They're tards.

I honestly thought the Shivans were about to appear and perform a kill steal on the Carthage, but then the cutscene played and I was thrown back into WiH's reality in a split second. I wasn't completely wrong judging by that Sathanas waiting in subspace to defeat us if the Carthage did get destroyed though. Would've been interesting if you could trigger the Sathanas to arrive -just- as the Imperieuse and it's group arrives, suddenly the whole situation might be a lot different..

Sensors Officer: "Sir! incoming subspace transit!"

Rear Admiral Leinonin: "Impossible, what is it?"

Sensors Officer: "Sir it's... it's the Shivans! a Juggernaut has jumped in sir!"

Rear Admiral Leinonin: "Oh my Steele, inform the Admiral at once!"

Doesn't Cuddles have his forward beams replaced with AAA ULTRAs? The Imperieuse has a better chance than it first appears.

Instead of going all LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEROY JEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNKINS and charging the Atreus, Captain Mence should have found the Carthage and rammed it so that Mr. Cuddles would jump in and destroy Steele's battlegroup, thereby saving Artemis Station and winning the war. We can assume that one year into the war, Mence would have enough intel known this would work. Only two of the BFReds are needed to destroy the Atreus in a single volley due to the tabled hit point values, so the other two can each destroy one corvette; this means a total of two volleys needed to wipe out Steele's battlegroup, which should only take 14 seconds. This plan of course relies on the Shivans putting BFReds back on Mr. Cuddles, which they would naturally do because this makes Mr. Cuddles a better ship. Come to think of it, they should make BFReds capable of targetting fighters, and put one on every turret on Mr. Cuddles's hull.
