The funny thing about that mission is you're just flying along, blasting shivans and suddenly this "Supernova Warning" pops onto your screen with a timer, and I'm thinking "uh, what's that?". And then you wait about 5 seconds, until later finally Command says 'oh damn, get your ass to the node people'. And then you think "yeah, that's what I thought it was . . . oh ****"

I lucked out and was nearby, plus I was in my trusty Perseus, so I was able to motor out of there

[phreak]

i was about 6km from the node in the brick formerly known as the aries.  it sucked ass.

I was chasing down some Shiven bombers when the nova started. I turned to the node and tried to make it but didn't.

[Bobboau]

I think I was too ubsy blasting bugs to leave

[Krackers87]

yes and actualy capella didnt blow up until all the allied ships had left. or most of them. It was some sort of bug where if you dont kill a certain ship capella doesent blow.

Unfortunately for me, I was flying the Ares and was moving very slowly (quickly for an Ares since I diverted everything to the engines) towards the node.  If I had 5 more seconds I would've made it for sure =(


I found it hilarious hwo the cutscene said that I chose to stay behind to save the civilians.  I was like, "No, I was running my tail off trying to get out and got burned"

[pyro-manic]

Every time I play it, I always seem to get toasted as the jump-out sequence is about to start. Still, that's my fault for always choosing to fly the Potato...

[Stunaep]

Died good, but took the damn bugs with me!

I actually made it to the node (in a mega heavily damaged Perseus) soon as the counter started I just ran.
Then the ending went on about "Alpha 1 staying behind" I was, like, who, me?!

I mentioned this before i think...
When the notice came, i thought " one more bomber...lets see it blow to smithereens..."
When it blew, i looked up at the node which was 5 Kilometers out with only 30 seconds to go.

[nucas]

i was about 9 kilometers from the node when the star went nova. i high tailed it for the node but was still icing shivans on the way. thus, i was about 1 kilometer off when the wave hit. i liked the ending that resulted since it struck me as appropriate and never replayed the mission.

I *could* have made it to the node..... but unfortunately i spent at least 15 seconds completely still, just staring at the sun and watching it bigger, going "wow... it's getting bigger".  Then i tried to get to the node and i dissintigrated.

[Jal-18]

I always seem to get there 5 seconds before the thing blows...which is when the cutscene cuts in...

My jump drives were powering up, I was just about to enter the jump node (the blue tunnel was just begining to open) when it hit and....BOOOOOM
