aaaah, good to know...

[NGTM-1R]

I've always meant to check if Xinny and Zero have special flags on their ships or some kind of uber AI: I've lost one of them, once, but they always seem to survive that mission. Which is rather amazing if you think about it.

[karajorma]

They're ship-guardian'd IIRC. You shouldn't actually be able to lose either of them

I remember losing them both. They only receive the ship-guardian if their hull drops below some percent, which means if they got a hit that destroys them at once, they die before they would get the ship-guardian.

Xinny and Zero never died in the Lion's for me. We all got back to the node, all 100ish times that I've played the main campaign.

I also knew Xinny from a couple of times we've chatted in PXO on private channels. He told me a little secret....

[Charismatic]

What was it?

[aldo_14]

Now, if he told you it wouldn't be a secret, would it?

[Luigi30]

So does anyone know if or when the stray WAVs are triggered? They all say something to the effect of "desertion kills kittens" or something.

[Blitzerland]

Um...no they don't. I just checked the warble.vp file, and they just order you to return to the battle, and such.

Thinking a corvette is smaller than a cruiser? Killing kittens? Luigi, you need to get some more sleep, dude.

*Nervously steps away from luigi*

[Luigi30]

They're in stu, not warble.

And yes, I went to sleep right after that and slept for 12 hours. Guess I did need more sleep

[Charismatic]

I do also, need sleep.

I recall a few tiems i was so far away from a mission (user designed) that command killed me when failing to return to the battle. Was a traitor and once, just was SD'ed by command.

Hehe, maby they not as lenient as we thought..

[Luigi30]

"Negative, Command.  We'll hold them off here. Just get the Bastion through!"

The name of that message is Up Yours.

[Charismatic]

Seriously?
<               dosent have the time now to check

[karajorma]

Yep. Quite a few of [V]'s missions have amusing event or message names.

That mission alone has events called "Turn you silly bugger", "eh" and a series of chained events called "Colossus Die", "And die" and "And die again"

[Flipside]

And that, gentlemen is why FS2 is such a good game, because, even if the hope was to sell a million units, the motivation was to create a game that they themselves enjoyed playing, a motivation which, amazingly,  I find less and less apparent in the Computer Game market.

So that's why the colossus was disabled in that mission

[Luigi30]

I wish they'd included more outtakes. Snipes is funny enough as it is, the outtakes are hilarious.

[TopAce]

They weren't expecting anyone would be able to open their VP files.

Funnily enough the event gives a goal to the Stalwart not the Colossus.

Although I'm surprised that none of the Colossus movement events are named after a baseball term
