Indeed. You could simply sense the pleasure in the Psamtik's message when it ordered the beam cannons to toast the Belisarius. I think you could easily change that line around and it would make sense--"Gunnery control, fry that ****er!"
Bearbaiting has some of my favorite lines throughout the game, which is why I was all over it when Goober uploaded his recorded version of the mission. The entire opening dialogue sequence really gave the urgency and danger of the situation and mixing it in with afterburners firing, the Sathanas beam cannons tearing up the Phoenicia, the dialogue, and the music altogether it happens to be one of my favorite FS2 moments ever. I think the Phoenicia's line sums it all up:
"Command, I will not jeapordize the lives of my crew! Either you deploy more ships now or we will withdraw. We cannot hold this position without additional fleet assets!"
Or Alpha 2's line: "Then they must know this mission is suicide."
Snipes has plenty of good ones besides "Dive! Dive! Dive!" as well:
"These detonators were a piece of junk. I even followed the directions."
"Roger that SOC, Snipes here. Much obliged. Hope you brought a transport."
"What, do I look Shivan to you? Uh oh, take a look at this: Knossos device number three, 150 clicks out in right field. Where the hell are we?"
"Good teamwork squad, let's go for the triple play. Seek and destroy."
"Binary systems give me the creeps."
