Had to be something in Playing Judas. Actually, the first time I played, I finished the mission but Command wouldn't let me jump out, so I kept thinking I did something. Eventually the waves of fighters from the Lucifer took me down. :p

But when I  just replayed it a few days ago, one of my "oh crap" moments was the part where you defend the Galatea in Deneb. Not because the Lucifer jumps in or anything, but because I realised that I had to fight a bunch of Shivan fighters with a Medusa armed with Stillettos, Tsunamis and MX-50s (the first two being nearly useless).


You mean last two don't you? MX-50s have absolutely no effect on shields and tsunamis, well, need no explanation. At least stilettos have limited homing abilities.

Hmmm... flying a Dragon, scanning the Lucifer...

That was actually quite fun.  I got FS1 some time after completing FS2 (three times), so I had quite a good idea what the Dragon was capable of.  When I found myself flying one, I just thought: 'oh, this is so COOL!'

As for flying into the Lucifer's docking bay... no problem.  Except that you're not meant to achieve that objective.

Hehehe, poor mook. I knew he was going to die when I first saw that cutscene.

And my best "OH CRAP" moment? That had to be Playing Judas. Where I was constantly saying "oh crap oh crap oh crap" as the dragons got closer to me.

Oh, and whenever the Lucy jumped in.

In Playing Judas: O___O I have to scan THAT?
Guarding the Galatea: o_o Aw dammit we're gonna die
In Failure to Communicate: ...bye bye installation... ._.;;;

Edit: you realize how many typos I went through typing this? ._.;; I should refrain from typing when I'm sick in the future.

Entering F4 - events:
Taurus - Self destructed.
Got the message five seconds before it:
'What the hell? They took out the Taurus already!'
I think it is one of the weakestly FREDed missions ever. If you want to show the Shivans strong ... do them another way. It is the symbol how idealess [V] was about 'how do you imagine an all-conquerring species'.

It's hacked, but it works well.  Self-destruction is often necessary to make sure stuff happens at the right time.
