Come on, there's nothing wrong with it if the topic's interesting.

[TopAce]

and why does somebody come with the question every time a thread bumping is made?:
'Why have you bumped this thread?'

[Flipside]

Partly because there is always somebody.....

Another thread bumper...

My two greatest OH ****! moments were in Inferno.  The first one was in El Diablo when I got hit right in the face with its main gun. The other time was the Gigas warping in. I thought I was toast.

[TopAce]

This thread is about FS2 original campaign, Woolie. Do not make me tend telling my 'oh, crap' moments at derelict

[Gloriano]

stop that Topace  you are not admin here you are not that man who orders other peoples

[TopAce]

Sorry if you understood my post so serious, I have just noticed this thread is about the original FS campaign.

[DeepSpace9er]

Its got to be the DIVE DIVE DIVE the first time. Scared the **** out of me and on top of that, i hit my burners but didnt dive. Wasnt a happy ending.

Second "oh crap" was when i was bombing the Sathanas beam turrets while the Phonecia was getting hammered. I fly in front of the beam turret ready to drop a bomb and all i can see is the beam powering up with no time to do anything. That was more like an "oh ****" feeling.

EDIT: oopss.. did i help resurrect an ancient thread?

[hobnob1978]

Dive, Dive, Dive made me **** my pants and die both at once.

The other was attacking the Demon in bearbaiting, turning round, to see that my stupid ****wit of a wingman has fired TWO helios torps towards the Demon without paying ANY attention to where I am and I see then one second before they clobber my hull.
Stupid vasudan GIT!!

And for an unintened mission "pant filler". Firing dual helios`s in bearbaiting at one beam arm only to have them impact and do piss ant damage, ie 50% rather than blowing it up.
i HATE V for placing the beam subsys locators in usch a position that the bombs will sometimes NOT do the damage they should. .

Got it made now tohugh.
take out 1st by diving a little under it until cross vanishes, then attack flak with trebs and ak cannon. Then aim for node and rotate ship until BC is to left of ship and afterburn past it for five seconds (heading streight to node.) turn focus and fire. Do same for other two after reloading. (call support after disabling flak.)
Easy. kinda

The OMFG moments in FS2 for me were:
* Colossus arrives and reduces the NTF corvette to wreckage in one shot (why do you always find yourself in the best observer position the FIRST time you play the game? However hard I try, I can't recreate the moment when three HUGE Beams come out of nowhere and vaporise that Corvette)
* Sathanas arrives, I go to investigate the massive warp effect, and get vaporised by an enormous Beam cannon which comes out of nowhere.

The 'OH CRAP!' moments were:
* A bunch of NTF Myrmidons turning on me ('...but hate the traitor'), although that was more like 'bring it on, *****es!'
* 'DIVE, DIVE, DIVE!'  Push stick forwards, engage max AB, look back and see the Sathanas miss me by miles.  I then think, 'well, that wasn't too difficult.'

The supernova was a case of, 'hmmm, I'm right next to the node...'

I suppose I'm just naturally lucky.

[DeepSpace9er]

With the "hate the traitor" mission, i always blow up my wingmen while they are still green after they destroyed most of the sentries... then the Erineys appear and vaporize their reinforcements without me having to struggle that much.

Ditto.

1) "Sorry-you've outlived your usefulness as a deep cover operative, Alpha 1" I thought for sure Command was going to send a couple wings of fighters to tie up the loose end...

2) "Dive! Dive! Dive! HIT YOUR BURNERS, PILOT!" Me: "Dive? There's no down in space! Hmm...looks like nothing's in front of me *hits afterburners* What's that? AGGGHH!!! SATHANAS!!! *Runs into Sathanas and starts going through it.* I'm gonna make it, I'm gonna make it...*bang*...I didn't make it."

[color=66ff00]The first time I got the 'oh crap!' vibe was hearing an enemy capship beam warm up, I'd only played Xwing vs. tie up to that point (religiously I might add ). The sound of the beam cannon warming up in close proximity made the hair on the back of my neck stand on end as I went into an immediate evasion.

Dive, dive, dive was of course the other but I'd admit that the game was full of such moments. My favourite one was the bombing the ravana mission, I flew that bomber like a madman and got out by the skin of my teeth on the very first try. It was a serious rush.

There were two particular moments for me:

1. First time you meat the Ravanna-

I was out of position and had been roaming ahead of the Corvettes, then the Ravanna shows up, and the next thing I know my entire HUD is filled red, the only thing that wasn't was a little black dot in the center. It scared the crap outta me, and now I have a perpetual fear of beams.

2. Dive Dive Dive!

Well, yeah, the first time I did this it scared me, and I got ran over. Eventually, I stopped diving and took the Sath head-on(flying along the hull and around the protrusions). That was cool, and fun.

[Krackers87]

destroying 3 Sathanas beams and then being in its way with dmaged engines hearing, the sathanas is warping out!

[Woolie Wool]

Hehe...

"[Insert name here] was killed by a collision with SJ Sathanas"

[redsniper]

Well this didn't happen in the main campaign but it's still pretty funny.
I was doing some escort mission where you have to defend a Deimos from some other capital ships and I was flying a Boanerges stocked up on Cyclopseses. After I had destroyed all of the enemies I still had a few torpedoes left and decided to blow up some of the enemy debris floating around with them while I waited for the Deimos to jump out. There were two importan thing I realized too late: 1. the debris was much closer than I thought. 2. I was in the corvette's path. So at the exact same time the bombs exploded, wiping out my shields and the corvette crashed into me while jumping out. But the best part is: I didn't die! If I remember correctly I had 1% hull and all of my subsystems were destroyed, but I managed to call a support ship and jump out.
