Try to guess the mission...

Oh, yeah... It's that one with the explosion isn't it!

Admiral Koth's suicide run on the Colossus if im not wrong.

[Rictor]

...training missions?

well, what? I never said I was a good shot, and shooting down the instructor is just so satisfying.

[Unidan]

I'd say it's the HLP crew's next shipment of Bosch Beer.. those dinky little transport ships are no match for a wing of shivan bombers. :3

[Thorn]

The death of the Galatea?

[Knight Templar]

It's the Orff!



Hey, I started out on medium, okay? Give me a break.

[c914]

unimportant what it was....just look what shiny niece explosion

Mission:doubt:  propably one from FS or FS2:p

[Jetmech Jr.]

Is that Their Finest Hour, the explosion from the Collosus?
You gotta love Nico's shockwaves

Nope, cant be that one. If its an in-game shot, then the backgrounds would be a lot more plentiful (every shot I tried to get of the colossus had SOME background in it). If you look at the explosion as well, the black object appears to be either the nose of an orion (the profile fits) with the rest blocked out, or the side wing of a hecate. Since we cant see a hecate's nose or tail on either side of the explosion (it is large enough to be visible) and the only mission where such an angle is possible on such a plain background is the one where Koth faced up against the Colossus.

But then, I may just be wrong.

[Fineus]

I reckon that its a Faustus going up.. if I had to pick a memorable moment it'd be in FreeSpace where you have to take out the sciene cruiser and it goes up with a hell of a bang (I can't remember the name of the mission)...

[Setekh]

There are two missions with a science cruiser that goes bang. The first one is in FS1, where you're meant to protect the Faustus that's doing research on the Tsunami space bomb. The second is in ST, where you're meant to destroy the Einstein, another Faustus that has seen too much and needs to be sanitized.

And ummm... barely modified?

[TopAce]

Why exactly a Faustus? It can also be an Orion. It may be an FS1 one because of the background.

[Hippo]

but not those explosions... I'd put my money on "Feint! Parry! Reposte!"

If you look at the image, the angle is suggestive of the blunt nose of a Faustus... crucially, there's a black bit on the bottom right which looks like one of the solar panels.   Methinks.

It's not FS1, because you don't get yellow shockwaves in FS1.  Could be the port, tho.

[Thorn]

That bit on the bottom could also be one of the main turrets on an Orion.

[TopAce]

It can actually be any mission where there is at least one Orion or at least one Faustus.

[Taristin]

SOC loop mission 1.

And aren't those Inf shockwaves?

[TopAce]

What surprises me there is no nebula.

[Hippo]

Yeah, thats whats giving us clues since there are few missions without backgrounds in some areas... Unless thats the part he botched...
