I was talking to my friend while I was waiting for the mission to load, and almost fell outta my chair from jumping at the "DIVE DIVE DIVE!!.." that Snipes yelled. Of course the SJ rammed my fighter into space dust.. but I didn't let it happen again... until I tried the second time and dove into the Sath. Eventually I got it right! :nod:

I had a vague inkling of what would happen since I visited the boards before actually getting FS2.  This resulted in me not so much being surprised as just sitting still trying to figure out what was going on to link it with what I had heard previously.

Needless to say, I stayed still for a little longer than I should have. :p

Heh, I survived, though the Sath clipped my tail and I lost 20% of my hull there and then. Was a very fun mission, though. ;)

The firs time I played, I had no idea what he was screaming about, and instead of diving, I just turned up and right.

The Sath missed me.  That mission was easy....

I survive the Sathanas at the beginning. But somehow(and I know why) I cannot remain hidden. I tend to open fire the first time I see a Shivan fighter.

I am typically: 'Come, face-to-face bugs!'-type pilot. Alpha 1 hasn't received espiionage training :)

I managed to get out the way the first time i played the mission, I was pretty hyped up and ready for that sort of thing... but I think i got nailed by the shockwave from the Comm node thing exploding.

First time, eh?  Well, I fell out of my chair and Alpha 1 promptly died.  Add that to the Sath that flew straight through me in Bearbating and this was getting to be quite the unfortunate habit.

Aye. I even survived the mission.

My pants didn't though.

The first time I got dead before I even realised what was going on, like most people I was kicking back with a cup of coffee when I entered the level, expecting to be cruising on the straight and narrow. My Ship, My Pants and my coffee-soaked Keyboard did not last long :(

I actually reacted in time to dive... far enough to have only my rear clipped ><

I survived but it was a hairy mission with so little hull left (can't remember the value).  I seem to remember hanging back whenever I could and letting Snipes and the team do the dirty work.

Thanks to my X36 I was able to easily doge the sath as it left.

I was already kinda pumped because of how tense the briefing was so I manged to react fairly calmly to the DIVE DIVE DIVE part. and I lived through the whole mission on my first try. Although I did get pretty scared when that Ravana jumped into the node with me.

I must also confess to shouting loudly the very first time I played that mission. :D
