La la la la la, flying around with that Vasudan Corvette. No way you're gonna lose this mission, cause no bomber's gonna get through the Corvette AND you. Suddenly "Massive jump point forming!" Ravana blasts the corvette with it's LReds and leaves you stunned as it jumps out. That scared the crap outta me.

Firing a pair of ASMs at the Chinese cruiser 'Badi Dea', pulling up and looking behind me to see not only my two missiles, but the other six from the rest of the formation streaking towards the target...

Guess you just have to have been there

Hmmm...

*Chasing a pair of Seraphim bombers as they flew in towards the GTD Panache(Orion), then watching an Aeolus fly out from behind it, open fire with both main beams at the Ravana behind me and the bombers, and seeing the beams go by me on either side, cutting one of the bombers in half.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

*The first nebula mission.

*Capella going Nova(of course)  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

*Destroying the Knossos... then watching the Sathanas jump in anyway.

*The Boedacia station exploding and leaving behind the Iceni.


FS1:

*The Lucifer jumping in on "Playing Judas"

*Escorting those transports past the Lucifer's blockade

*Dogfighting that first Scorpion

Derelict had a bunch of those wonderfull "OH, **** " moments, one of the most memorable was when the Narlathotep transmited that Shivan signal and the other shivans jumped in. and then there was the mission were that knossos jumped in, at first thought I thought something had gone nova.

The moment when the Shivans first appeared in mission in FS1. I had completely forgotten about them (and the intro) so it seemed a major surprise (to me).

And the moment I managed to play FS2 Demo at a respectiable screen rate (my computer initially had set it to 32-bit colour and 1024*756 (or whatever the resolution was). Then I realised I just had to buy the game.

You know, the coolest thing I remember was when I first blew up an enemy and saw it explode! Simple yes, but it was my first Freespace game. After that I was hooked with it. I was just so blown away by how much "umpf" it had when the enemies blew up. It didn't look like any normal 2D round sprite spitting a few flames. It was REAL Hollywood style. Aaaaaaah. Damn, gotta start playing it all over again now...  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Hey that looks cool. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

My "wow" moments would have to be the following:

Command's message in sm3-10 (Apocalypse) - "Capella has gone supernova! Repeat, Capella has gone supernova!..." : completely unexpected turn of events there; while flying to the node I was really thinking hard about how the GTVA would respond to this. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) (didn't know that the game ended there)

Snipes' message (of course) in loop2-2 (Into the Lion's Den) - "Dive! Dive! Dive! Hit your burners, pilot!" : I had my headphones cranked up to full volume and this completely startled me - enough to make me jump out of my chair for a second (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) -, after which my Mara got smacked ten thousand meters away. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

sm3-09a (Good Luck) Subspace mission in FS1 : really cool background, I was just looking around for a while before going about my objective. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

sm1-08 (The Sixth Wonder), arrival of GTVA Colossus : I used to think the normal destroyers were big, but this completely blew me away by its sheer size. After Command told me to depart, I was flying around the ship for five or so minutes, trying to see exactly how it was structured. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I thought I was the only one who did that! I must have spent a half hour flying around that thing. I even parked my ship in one of the alcoves and pondered using it to 'camp' during a mission. I was impressed by the size of the Colossus--for a little while. The Sathanas spoiled that for me, though.

One of the moments that seriously got to me was when the tips of the Sathanas' legs just came inching out of the mist like something out of a nightmare.

The one that scared the most crap out of me is (bear with me, I may have gotten my missions confused) when you are taking out the gas miners, "Uh, command, we are detecting another knossos", Sathanis comes out, blasts the crap out of the little sobek. That is scarrrrry to see the beams just coming out of the nebula.

Oh yeah, I forgot one other part. When the Capella node was going nova, I was still in the heat of the battle. Trying to save as many civilians as possible. With all the flak around me bursting, wingmen screaming to their deaths, I only just managed to hear the message to get back to the node. So when I saw the timer, I just turned to the node, put all powers in the burners and went for it. Dodging some freighters i said "Godspeed." Not actually knowing what ill fate was awaiting them, I just knew that I had to get to the node FAST! I was really beggining to scream at the screen, edging it futher "GO! GO! GO! YOU F$#@¤& PIECE OF S&%¤#!!" Finally I JUST and just reached the node as the timer ticked its last, even seeing my fighter begin to burn up a bit as I jumped. Thankfully I survived, and literarely screamed out in joy!"  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) Aaaah, those were the days. I just love this game...

- Seeing FS1 for the first time on the laptop of some random guy who gave me his copy. I thought "Whoa, games can have graphics this good!" (I was living under a rock, gaming-wise.)

- In "A Failure to Communicate" I burned at top speed, shot off one PXV, and it blew up Deva 1 as we flew by each other at near 350m/s, with me screaming "YEEEEEHAAH!"  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

- Seeing the Galatea for the first time. And I originally thought the Orff was big...  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

- Seeing the Lucifer in Playing Judas. That mission scared me to death the first time I played it.

- Seeing the Colossus for the first time.

- The first deployment of the Meson Bomb (Knossos go boom, everything within 3km erased) and the fact that it did nothing (Renenet runs away from Sathanas #1)

- "Dive dive dive"

- The first MOD I ever played with (Dark's Polaris)  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

- My first working MOD, the Hypercannon (a secondary made to be like the Lucifer Beam, except mounted on a special Leviathan variant.)

42 is the answer to the question of Life, the Universe and Everything. What, precisely, that question IS is unknown. There are some who believe that if ever the question and the answer were both known at the same time, the Universe would cease to exist.

I just thought of one that's more like "Moments that made you quiver with fear":

In the nebula mission (SM2-02: A Game of TAG) when Kappa 3 shows up:

 
Quote
Mayday! Mayday! This is Kappa 3 of the 107th Ravens, GTD Aquitaine! Command, do you copy?

Command, get the fleet out of the nebula! Shut down the portal now! There's no time to lose!

Listen to me! There's no way we can stop them this time! Shut down the portal before it's too late! There's something out there, Command! Please!

When I first played that, I just wanted to get out of that nebula, go back home, maybe fight some NTF baddies and just forget all about the Shivans.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Joe.

Thats got to be the most quoted phrase in FS

Anyway the moments that made me quiver is watching that bosch cutscene when he's flying in the nebula and the ravana is chaseing him and watching all those Satanases jumping thru the Knossos 3

What really makes me say Oh coooooool.....

When the Colossus is firing its beams at the Sathanas in High Noon. Listening to Command yell more firepower! And listening and watching the Colossus's beams just power up and fire at the Sathanas.

I loved that sound.

Heh, that was pretty cool I guess... but for me, an anti-climax. I'd taken down all of the front beam cannon on the Sathanas down in the previous mission, so I just had to sit there.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Heh, the first time I said "Oh cool" in FS2 was after I installed my 16meg agp video card where I could see everything perfectly.

Before that I had a 4meg S3 Virge.  I had to run with EVERYTHING turned to minimum or off.
And then there was problems with rendering engine glows and nebulas, simply didn't work.
Every light source was surrounded by a black box that you couldn't see through.  Nebulas were the same way.

Then I installed the new card and boom!  F*ing clarity.  I could finally see further than 10 feet inside nebulas!

What's really, REALLY sad?
In the SOC missions where you had to defend the cruiser from the pegasus fighters?  The hull never dropped below 80%.
After I upgraded I couldn't keep her higher than 15%.

Yeah same here. And what really got me was that in a later mission they said that the Colosus was damaged by the Ravana! I was like "WHAT?! It was at a 100% when I finished that mission." But then I decided that pushing the beam turrets over their limits must have cause some kind of damage. Oh well.

Woah people thought my in-mission cutscenes were GOOD? They took quite long to debug, quite surprising how much effort a mission needs even when you're just sitting there.

More will come in Episode 2, no worry! (just be happy)

Yeah it was fun making that beam strike you, to kind of end the episode with a blast.
