My fault, I suppose.

I can't remember how many times I've been killed by a friendly Orion warping out without warning. They really ought to be more careful.

My stupidest death has got to be in the Belesarious (sp?) mission at the beginning of FS2.

I parked my arse above the Psamtik's main beam to get a cool view of it zapping the corvette, but as it turned out I'd parked my arse IN FRONT of the Psamtik's main beam...

That was kinda embarassing...

I got killed by the beam I was taking out once. also, I've been rammed to death by just about every ship the fleet has.

The worst is when you get caught in front of a warping out capital ship (like an orion, ravana or demon) and sometimes you live with like 3% health or you die instantly.

I dunno if this is embarrasing but, I had just destroyed a Lilith(god I hate them so) and as it was exploding or wutever it shot off its fighter beam and took me out:(

:lol: The fact that specifically tell you to get out of the way makes that one even funnier :)

"The Sathanas is jumping out, get out of the way, pilots!"

Yeah, way to go, command. Could've given me the heads up when the frickin' thing was charging its drives, but noooo. Got crushed instantly (well, sorta. Got pushed 10,000 meters first).

Oh! Oh! And during the first nebula mission, I ran SMACK into some floating debris near the Trinity.

I was killed on the mission where you first see the Knossos by the Carthage jumping in. I was half dead from the Maras, and i'm like, YES! REINFORCEMENTS!

Smack.

More than once I've pulled in behind a wing of Nephilem in my little interceptor fighter, start rocking them with guns and furies, hahaha so you want to drop bombs on my destoryer huh? Chew on some of these! when all 3 of the bombers pivot on the spot and pump me full of little red bursts of frustration before I bother to notice that they're actually moving.  I forgot those damn things had so many guns on them...

After all my wingmen were vaporized by the annoying fighter supression missiles carried by the Shivan bombers, the Aquataine finally made it to the Gamma Draconis node, as I wiped out a quartet of Nahemas.  However, as I moved to engage the next incoming wave of bombers, I happened to pass right in front of the Aquataine, as it went to jump out.  Being in a Tauret, there was no chance of me getting out of the way.

"See you in Gamma Draconis Alpha"...."Alpha 1 was killed by a collision with Aquataine."


Me? Uh...I was escorting the Psamtik and when the Sath fired its BFReds...

Alpha 1 was killed by a beam from SJ Sathanas 2

I just got rearmed during a heated fight and  hit burners right after I got the go signal from the support ship.

Then I got 3 balistiks on my butt shooting at me. I went to evasive manuvers spinning, pitching, rolling, you know, everything but they kept on hitting me wiping out my shields and bringing down my hull to 5%. Then before the last volley of swarmer missles finished me off I look at the speed meter and it was in "0"

I boosted my afterburners but  forgot to turn on my throttle :D

 
Heh, I've done that many times too.  Although I usually hit the burners before I get the go-ahead since there's a delay after the last secondary has been loaded.

Strafing a capship's anti-fighter guns in a fighter during a bombing run by AI pilots. Pulled up from fragging an AAA beam only to plow cockpit-first into an incoming bomb.

I'm sure the bomber pilot thought it was funny as hell though he didn't get long to laugh seeing as he had just fired the bomb and went up with me and it.

Alot's changed, but alot's still the same. Come on by and talk about anything!

 
I need a place to put up the pic of my most embarresing death. Any suggestions?
And Ghostavo, that has happened before, lol, but definately not as embarassing- or actually, as stupid as the pic of my death.
