Please be honest here. I am curious.
Did you survive the last mission the VERY first time you played it?

Being killed by a Shivan ship doesn't count. I mean 'to survive' only after the nova started.

[Setekh]

I got killed good. 'Twas more than ten clicks from the node when the supernova began, I didn't even have a chance.

[Turnsky]

i had an aries class.. sure i survived the shivans....

but... i was burnt to a crisp..

[Nico]

I was already in the node when the shockwave started... don't remember why, but anyway, I didn't have far to go

[Drew]

i survived the shivans the first time...




but the civillians sure as hell didnt

[Darkage]

Made it the first time:D just in time though:D

[Sandwich]

I made it within meters of the node before the shockwave hit.

[Tian Guan]

I was under fire from my wingmates after seeing the Saths and deciding it was time to defect. Not a single GTVA ship made it out of the system. Mwuahahahahah!!!!

[Solatar]

I actually made it the first time, I was chasing a Manticore or something that flew into the node. Can't remember the specifics, as it was a long time ago (well before I discovered MODing, or HLP)

EDIT: voted for yes, although I wasn't a good pilot. Just got lucky:D

[kode]

no. I tried very hard, tho.

[Unknown Target]

Lol, I was at least 6 kloms from the node when the shockwave hit Survived the Shivans, tho, hehe

[Hippo]

nope, i was about 2 clicks away from it when it hit me tho...

*waits for Grey Wolf 2009*

I blew up at the EXACT moment I hit alt-j to escape.  Probably less than a second from safety - if I'd thought to ramp up my engine energy, I'd have made it

[Akalabeth Angel]

I made it no problemo with about 10 seconds to spare. Though the second time around playing the campaign I got toasted, a few times.

[IceFire]

I voted NO.  I will have all you know however that I was there with time to spare and was hit with a random occurance of the jumpout bug where I couldn't jump out at all.  With little or no time at all I obviously couldn't jump and bammo was killed.  Looked awesome however

[Knight Templar]

No, because I am a cool pilot.

I stayed behind to escort civilians to their death.

[neo_hermes]

i jumped out with 15 seconds to spare.

[Falcon]

Didn't survive first time. Shivan: Do I smell Terran Barbecue?

[J.F.K.]

I was basically right next to the jump-node when it happened, so I was even able to sit there and watch the star expand and everything.

[redsniper]

I got to see Capella up close...
