actualy, mabye not.

To consider the Earth as the only populated world in infinite space is as absurd as to assert that in an entire field of millet, only one grain will grow. - Metrodorus of Chios
I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

One of my favourite bit of dialog is from Clash of the Titans II.

"We're hurting, sir. They've sent in every damn fighter and bomber in the Shivan armada!"
"What class of bombers, Beta?"
"Nephilum. Seraphim. Nahemas. You name it."

Very simple but the acting really shows how up against it the GTVA is at that point.

I thourougly enjoyed one time when I got 6 death messages at the same time :p

Yeah... I noticed the Collosus announcing itself all the time. As if we didn't recognize it?

Hmm... Oh yes, one time when I got a simple one:
"Cappela has gone supernova! Repeat, Cappela has gone supernova! You have 40 seconds to get to the jump node! This is allied command, signing off." [Or whatever he says, that's the gist of it]
"NNOOOOOOOO!!!"

Moderately amusing ^_^

Oh, and the all-tim favourite:

"Your cynisism appalls me, Collosus, I have 10 000 officers and crew willing to die for PANTS!"

 :lol:

Oh, and I do a passible Cordova ^_^

When's this played?

LP2-2_SN_02.wav: "EVADE EVADE EVADE GET OUTTA THERE GET OUTTA THERE!"

Fly into Sathanas or something? 03 is "15 minutes to change our shorts," so I imagine it's from the DIVE DIVE mission.

The whole quote is "Capella has gone supernova! Repeat, Capella has gone supernova! You must get to the Vega node and engage your jump drive NOW!" And in another file, "This is Allied Command, signing off. Godspeed, pilots!"

LP2-2 indicates that the mission that uses this file is the second mission of the second SOC loop, specifically the "Dive!" mission.  SN indicates that it's snipes doing the talking, and the last number is an identifier for distingushing it from the other 20 or so messages from Snipes in that mission.  My guess is that "Evade" was either an alternate to "Dive! Dive! Dive!" or is used when the Ravana jumps in from the nebula.
who needs a signature? ;)

LP2-2_SN_12 is the "oh noes, Ravana" one.

Also, when are *_stray triggered? When you're too far from the closest target?

It's probably DIVE DIVE DIVE version 1.0, and they changed it to sound better.  IMO they made a good decision. :)

"Two of our Top Pilots, Xinny and Zero, will cover Alphas 3 and 4, respectively"

The quote ain't that funny (other than the fact those are some pretty weird names), but i REALLY want to hear more about Xinny & Zero...!

Xinny & Zero were the (callsigns of the) top 2 ranked pilots in (FS1) multiplayer, IIRC.  Volition put their names in as a sort of reward.
