I remember waking up to take a leak in the middle of the night, looking over to the end of the bathroom and for a split second seeing what looked like a Shivan staring back at me... then when i went to sleep i woke up again and couldve sworn i saw a Marine being Beamed by a Shivan
keep in mind i was around 8 yrs old when this happened

See, 3 days ago, late in the evening, just as I finished playing FS, I had to go close a window in another room. There was a big storm, I was alone and it was dark. In the other room, I heard a sound that was awfully like the shivan "voice". Turns out it was just the curtains/window cover going up and down cause of the wind, thus making the noise of the shivans.

Waiting for the bus,
Brishing my teeth,

Getting ready to go out,
running on the treadmill
many more random ones.
I need to make an aquitaine.wav rave song.

Actually, getting her to try FS2 was really pretty easy because it's got great stuff for single player like Blue Planet and Transcend. What she had to be dragged kicking and screaming into was EVE. (She played Counterstrike once, a long time ago, and got the "omfg a girl" and "tits or gtfo" one too many times...damn CS players, scum of the web. :p)

- Unknown 01 never warps out in that mission due to hull failure.

"got children to be the Orion in the opening cut scene, including how it rotates." :wtf:
-
You know, a re-enactment, you are the Lucifer, someone else is the Orion, after it gets hit, you pick up the child and hold them horizontal to the ground, like they're falling towards the planet. Of course, if the beams "hit" and they are ticklish... ;)
-
:lol: No.......
Not yet, when my kids start playing it maybe...
:lol:
-
- When you THINK that you are a Shivan
... dammit, have you been following me?!
-
I got a few:
- When you get promoted to Admiral without cheating or FREDing a mission solely for points.
- When you actually understand all of the points in a "You know you've played too much Freespace 2" thread.
-
When a rhombus, parallelogram or triangle reminds you of a wing formation.
When you look up into the sky, expecting to see the Lucifer.
-
"When you look up into the sky, expecting to see the Lucifer." You are watching me aren't you?
Well yeah, i often do that. Out cloud formations i try to make ship references "Oh that cloud is a lucifer and that cloud is a herc mk2 etc etc"
Funny story actually. i woke up one day and it was still dark cause it was winter. i looked up and one of the clouds looked exactly like a lucifer from below, i was freaked out!
Oh and here's a good one
- When lurkers unlurk to post in a Too Much Freespace topic

I get a good laff out of these topics, but I can rarely think of anything to contribute :(

Well, you could try posting the first thing that comes into your head.
Here's another one...
When you wished that you had your own fighter/bomber/support ship to fly in real life (not for me, though; I want to fly a real Pyro-GX from Descent). :nervous:

Nope, i'm from Midgard (Sweden)

Big text are irritating.
Beamzz are pretty.
Pew pewz not so pretty.

He's AlphaÜ1, not Alpha 1.

No, no. You've got it all wrong. All you need to do is cheat into the game system 100 Collossuses :drevil:

I'll bet that 100 Colossi can be defeated by 10 or so Sathanes.

LOL! im listing that one

"You are no longer allowed back at a certain gas station after you terminated the rearming sequence"
:wakka:
-
- You are a fighter pilot and you attempt to highjack the QA Boeing 747, the transport pilot "is one of us", which is true if you aren't Vasudan. Or Shivan.
- When the Colossus plays baseball with you in High Noon.
EDIT: and you hang around long enoug after missions to notice this: (Hauler 1 & Hauler 2 thred)
In the mission Into the Maelstrom, there are 2 Elysium transports named Hauler 1 and Hauler 2. They have no purpose in the mission.
That's from the Wiki. But if you hang around after the Collosus arrives they will move in and dock with the transports, then If I remember correctly, they will go to the Collosus. Most of the time one of them gets splattered by asteroids though and this seems to mess up the orders for the second.
-
Crap, I do that too. :D
Speaking of which...
- When you go beyond the call of duty and oversee Iotas 1 and 2 transfer their crew onto the GVD Psamtik after the end of Surrender, Belisarius!.
-
. . . or ensure that the freighters reach the Colossus on Into the Maelstrom
-
See the the purpose of Hauler 1 & 2 thread for the "discussion" on this, and other "after mission" events.
By the way, has anyone actually been hit by the Colossus when it starts swinging? (High Noon)
Who only read one "the"?
-
By the way, has anyone actually been hit by the Colossus when it starts swinging? (High Noon)
Not me. I always do a banzai charge towards the Sathanas to damage it as much as possible, so I'm always too far away.
-
Has anyone ever been in a situation when the Colossus and Sathanas just kinda like do their waypoints or whatever, but never use their beams? Then they just blob each other (the blobs don't actually hit, they don't have enough range) until Command tells me I'm deserting and then blows me up.
I heard it has something to do with Cancer wing, though I forget what.

Yes. Also, another time, I decided I wanted Alpha wing to survive and told them to ignore the Sathanas, unfortunately this made the Colossus do the same. It's virtually impossible for the Sathanas to win that mission though.
-

Did you issue that order to Alpha Wing or to everyone?
-
C-3-6 most likely.
-
Most likely.
-
Most likely.
What? I mean, if you've only got 1 wing in the area and you're trying to quickly give them the order not to attack the Sathanas, are you more likely to go C-2-1-6 or C-3-6? Theoretically they'd do the same thing (though of course, in reality they don't).
-
Go C-2-1-9 (or C-3-9)...I think.
Tell them to ditch. You should be able to handle a wing of Basilisks by yourself (at least I could on the lower difficulties).
-
Most likely.
What?
(http://omglol.kerrolisaa.com/1/816.jpg)
I genuinely thought I was agreeing on the part that he hit C-3-6, which gave the CO of the Colossus the idea that they should just ignore the Sath and try to win it that way.
But I guess I wasn't.
-
Go C-2-1-9 (or C-3-9)...I think.
No, that tells them to engage enemy.
-
Quite. 0 is depart (3 when addressing the support ship).
-
Oh...geh, I haven't quite memorized it yet...
All I remember is 1 = attack, 4 = destroy subsystem, 5 = protect, since those are the only ones I regularly use.
-
I know em but for the whole "LEAVE that FRICKIN target alone!" situation, i use shift and i, Then 3.
-
- You have an animated GIF of the FS2 intro cut scene as your desktop background.
is that availible anywere? i'm gonna freak everyone out at school with that...
-
Get total video converter or some other converter, download the AVI (Convert to GIF) or save the MVE file as GIF. I actually haven't made it, but I know it's possible.
As for the Colossus listening to you when you go C-3-6, that seems silly, since you can't usually order juggernaughts around. But I don't get the desertion thing, perhaps you followed the Sath to a waypoint too far away?
By the way Lobo, you do have plenty of time in High Noon before your wing gets remotely close to within range, so you might as well not be lazy :nod:
-
When you know that...
- 1 means Destroy Target
- 2 means Disable Target
- 3 means Disarm Target
- 4 means Destroy Subsystem
- 5 means Protect My Target
- 6 means Ignore My Target
- 7 means Form On My Wing
- 8 means Cover Me
- 9 means Engage Enemy
- 0 means Depart
...I think I might have swapped 3 and 4 by accident... :nervous:
-
I think that looks right.
-
Don't remember, but prior to a fairly recent code update, telling one ship to ignore the target made all ships do it.
-
Just thought I might add a few...
-When your mod's timeline fits with other mod's timelines.
-You've crashed FRED and FRED2 and FRED2_Open over 500 times... each.
-You bothered to count.
-You make mod storylines faster than you can mod.
-You try to make FRED yell at you just for fun.
-You doubled the size of the weapons, ships and music tablefiles.
-When you discuss the Russian-Georgian engagement with a friend, get on to the topic of nuclear war, list the Airborne Laser (ABL) as an asset for the USA (If we got involved) and your friend goes. . . "Sweet. . . we've got beam cannons." :ick:
-
-You've crashed FRED and FRED2 and FRED2_Open over 500 times... each.
Meh I lost count somewhere at 5,600,344.

Meh I lost count somewhere at 5,600,344.
/me calculates that 1 886 976 000 seconds is equivalent to a 52-week year.
Hmm...
/me divides 1 886 976 000 by 5 600 344 and gets 336.9393023.
...you use crash FRED once every 337 seconds?
-
Why not? Some people just FRED more.
-
As for me:
- When your SMS ringtone is FS2_VICT_A01
- When you succeed in something big, you play FS2_DB_01
- You think all the time about why GTC Fenris could ever be invented
- You make Sathanas front side (beams side )from your hand
- You think about the times you first saw the Transcendent one in a very nostalgic manner :blah: :eek:
- You seriously play SGWP2 (no offense for the author, but... )
- When you try to fit together the best user-made campaigns into the FS2 story in a logical way
- You want Freespace 3 or at least Freespace 2... Sequel :nervous:
- You have all the FS2 music and the soundtracks you recorded from the cut scenes on a CD.
- You use Harpoons as dumbfire projectiles because you like too hang around Shivan backsides.
- You have every single award/medal, all obtained without cheating.
- You have a room that looks like Bosch’s command room in the cut scenes. :lol:
- You can do a whole mission without targeting your enemies ( Plato mission, FS1, anyone? )
- You have downloaded the WinAMP Freespace 2 skin. WANT!!!
And the worst one, very true for me:
You think about FS capital ships when you can't pee or poop and then you can :wtf: (I just don't know why the hell is that...)
Dang :) There's a whole lot of those, but I bet i do a lot of them :)

Funny thing was, I thought the exact opposite...
"why the hell is there a ship named after an anime character?"
Then I looked it up on wiki. I seriously didn't know that it was the name of some Greek goddess.
And no, it did not hit me that FS2 came out a long time ago. Since all the screeshots I saw were quite shiny...

-
- You singlehandedly defeated the Colossus' entire fighter complement using nothing but an escape pod.
- Your kill score is so grotesque that the AI often tries to avoid you entirely.
- You rewrote an entire alternate campaign starting from "Mystery of the Trinity", because you got tired of losing the mission from holding the Shivans off for 15 minutes
- On one occasion, the Sathanas actually turned tail and ran when you began your attack run in "Bearbaiting".
- The last time you played "A Lion at the Door", the Shivans called off their invasion, shut down the Knossos, and refused to let you progress any further until you got a life.

- there are numerous disabled ships ready for ram practice in the field of engagement...
- Alpha 1 is the only allied ship in the vicinity because...
- you always end your wingmen back to base at the start of the mission.
- you think you are the most awesome person because you can transfer your mouse accuracy to other games.
- you never run, instead you hit your afterburners.
- you warp into bed at night.
- you emerge from subspace in the morning.
- you seem to have a never ending mission because you don't remember the debriefing, etc.
- you always read all the text before/after missions.
- you have recieved the rank of Admiral from every persona.
- you can't resist adding more to this topic even though you have allready added 100 points anyway.
- you get excited by topics like these.
- you have moved to Tasmania because there is a higher chance that you will see an "FS . 1234" number plate because the population is so small, they have only gotten up to F in their number plates.
- you notice things like the above.
EDIT:
- you never release urine or turds, only Vasudan lemonade and NTF Boadacia (how do you spell this) bases.
-
This is getting weird now. I've never managed to jump ahead of an ai whiles't using my non existant rear-view to organise the above trick. And never ever anywhere has urine been associated with stupid Zods.

I've compiled all the low-quality music files from FreeSpace 2, including the sound events that weren't used (such as FS2_EArv_A01 and FS2_EArv_A02). I'll upload them to my Cloud when I have the time.

You know you've played too much FS2 when you :-
-Send e-mails to game companies telling them the backstory of Freespace and ask for them to make Freespace3
-You are secretely building a GTF Erinyes in your backyard.

Sadly, my first reaction whenever I see Robert Loggia is to snap to attention.

I tend to imagine NTF command presenting ed209 to Admiral Bosch in the Icenis briefing room. Then it goes mad and kills a junior officer.

ed209?

To be that age again :lol:

No, you play too much Freespace 2 when you actually get it done and your missions ARE better then the main Freespace 2 campaign :drevil:
-
I believe the most obvious demonstrations of TOO much FS2 is when you mom comes to wake up to eat and you reply terrified :"God damn fracking Command is gonna get us all killed" !
I actualy did that .
Or when your girl come over after 3 weeks of absence and you put her on hold cuz youre too bizi completing derelict for the 4'th time. ;))
I did that too.
Does that mean im a FS2 junkie?? =))
-
*snip*
Yep.
I ran out of staples in the office, and a little emotionless female voice sounded "Ammunition depleted." in my head ala MW4. Then I said before I could stop myself, "Where's that support ship?" Luckily, I was alone in the office.
-
Oh yeah has anyone here ever tried to covince theyr friends who know nothing of Fs or games in general that playng FS2 is the pinacle of they life's achievements??
I did that :D
An im feeling pretty good about myself.
Oh yeah the guy actualy played FS2 just so i could stop nagging him about it.

No, you play too much Freespace 2 when you actually get it done and your missions ARE better then the main Freespace 2 campaign :drevil:
Most decent FREDder's missions are better than the :v: ones, to be honest.

When your the only one in your physics class that knows all the relevant star systems off by heart
Also, when the teacher asks what important event recently happened near the star in Beta Aquilae you can't stop repeating 'BETAC and as a prisoner of war i don't have to answer that question' in your head as he persists for an answer

I got one. Happened today.
When you mis-read Hartinger as Harbinger and wrote Harbinger on the patient's case file instead, meaning everyone will call him Michael Harbinger. I only realised it when I handed in the case file, then noticed my screen saying Hartinger
-
This one is good. Not exactly funny, but 100% real.
We were learning about flags that are used in computer memory. The teacher have said it very epicly, like "And do oyu know what else memory comprises of...? Flag!"
I was immediately thinking FLAK.
And I even thought asking about it, like what does Flak do in memory ?!
Of course, the teacher wrote it on the blackboard and I got the right idea what he's been talking about ;)
-
In that situation I would have been thinking:
"big damage" "no_collide_invisible" or "player_ship" and whether or not "player_ship" should have an underscore.
-
Reminds me of a lesson I had once. The lecturer did the same thing, then he picked people to give him flags, and he picked me, when I was half asleep. He asked me to name him some flags, so my sleep-addled brain produced a few ... namely the ones I keep using, "stream","surface shields", "small only","huge" and "capital".

No, that's not enough FS2.
Like, 90% of the people on Wikipedia thought the BWO nodemap was canon and added all the stars of it onto the canon FS2 list of GTVA-occupied systems. I deleted the non-canon ones, then got banned. :rolleyes:

Sadly, I don't remember. I might even have misenterpreted the article.
I do remember it happened more than 2,5 years ago. I was convinced, in the first place, that S:AH was some kind of official release like Silent Threat... :blah:
IMO we should definitely send an e-mail to those people spreading misinformation about FS and/or create a talk page we can use to tell them the truth.

I also remember someone mentioning that Inferno was counted as canon within the FS fanbase.

That comes up a bit...rabid fans. Scary.

dunno... but im gonna rip it from the vp now.

what mp3?? the one with dive dive shouting??
It's on the vp, extract it and save it as mp3 file... you might wanna add some more secs to the mp3 so it doesn't get that anoying, a guy screaming dive dive every 3 secs will get anyone very nervous.
I also remember some wav files that were like aditional releases, there's one where the same actor screams evade evade get out of there, but I guess they changed that one with the we have now on that mission.

This is what happens on IRC when you play too much FS2:
I'm bored... Guess it's time to nuke the star.
Someday, me and the 1600 Sathanas fleet, with my SSJ Shiva in the lead, will finally break the subspace barrier, that prevents us all to come to your space. But when that day comes, and trust me- it will, we shall swarm your systems like a dark plague, annihilating the entire GTVA in a single, swift attack. You shall all feel the power of an entire race, a race which has destroyed entire species, in mere moments! It's your turn now, GTVA! You shall not escape your fate!

- You believe this thread should be stickied and presented to all new HLP Members
-
- When upon hearing the news that HLP is shutting down and FS3 will never be made, you commit suicide, for there is truly no point in living anymore in this Hell.

YOU MAKE a Freespace 2 mod for other games.
You've edited star wars frame by frame just to see the death star with an BFRED and a Mon Calamari with BF Green's.
You've "improved" Star Wars legendary, hyperdrive sequence by adding a subspace gate and replaced stars with a subspace corridor.

You single handedly gave 5 stars to each freespace song in Itunes one ata time to give each one the respect it deserves.

When you wake up, and you think:
Powering up fusion drives. Activating targeting and navigational systems. Hull integrity at 100%. Beam cannons charged and ready.
-
Hey! I get that all the time when I'm about to alight from an MRT train. :D
In fact, I occasionally do this (nonsensical but nonetheless FS-esque) running dialogue in my head:
"The train is approaching the designated coordinates. Ready the fusion drives and prepare for departure."
"Train is losing velocity in accordance to station. Arm missiles."
"Train has stopped. Doors will open in a moment. Prepare to engage afterburners."
"Doors opening. Go!"
"What is the ETA of the next bus? Engage full burners!"
"Oh ****! That's my capship! Full burn! FULL...BURN!"
:nervous:

On a similar note, i've been spending a bit of time Fredding lately and have developed the annoying habit of thinking in sexp. Ie when-hunger=>60% then-eat>burger

I sometimes do similar, Androgeos. As well as just thinking about FreeSpace 2 stuff a fair few times, and thinking up possible missions in my head.
Here's another:

I'm terribly guilty of this. I really want an SF Mara (Terrans) with time-travel capabilities.
-
I'm sure everyone who actively posts on HLP is guilty of that. We could start a thread on this. ;)

When you automatically translate Commander Vincey's lament on the loss of the GTA Lucidity into...a refrigerator.
The destruction of the AWACS reveals a critical flaw. Though the AWACS improved our sensor capabilities, its vulnerability limits the potential of the craft in combat scenarios. On the other hand, your unit's failure to protect the AWACS indicates that more effective leadership may be required here.
The leak in the refrigerator reveals a critical flaw. Though the refrigerator improved our storage capabilities, its obsolescence limits the potential of freezing on the field. On the other hand, your father's failure to check the obsolescence of the refrigerator indicates that better shopping sense may be required here.

You failed that mission too many times, huh?
-
Not really. In the four times I've played that mission, I've only lost one freighter.
I've just been opening the vps in VPVIEW32 too many times. :D
And the thing about whoever was playing Commander Vincey is that her voice leaves a crater in the mind.
