Probably one of my favourite moments in FS2 is the whole "I can live with being a pawn if the game makes sense" speech.

"These detonators were a piece of junk. I even followed the directions."
"Whatever those things are, the Shivans got less of them now."

Those lines gave made me a chuckle.

Re: the anything but scary moments
I've got a few moments for this (in no particular order).

1) The Repulse ramming the Colossus.
2) The Iceni diving underneath the temporarily-disarmed Colossus to reach the Knossos.
3) The appearance of the Ravana in the nebula.
4) The appearance of the second Sathanas.
5) Bearbaiting.
6) Showdown between the Belisarius and the Psamtik.
7) The destruction of the Colossus.

Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.

Re: the anything but scary moments
The first time I played, when the Psamtik wasted the Belisaurius. Had no clue about the existance of beam cannon in the game until that point (got my copy off HOTU, assumed FS1-ish weaponry :P). So it was a "Oh crud, what the hell was that!" moment.

Snipes got most of the good lines. Somebody's already given the detonaters one, so I'll throw out another. "What, do I look Shivan to you?"
"Load sabot. Target Zaku, direct front!"

"A demon class cruiser has indeed arrived.  Command is well informed"
"Then they must know this mission is suicide!"

Re: the anything but scary moments
Pretty much everything that Snipes says...

And when youre scanning the Stahanas in the nebula, Command just casually says "While you're out there, why don't you take on the Juggernaut by yourself". I was like :sigh: and started hammering those turrets...

And the first time I was playing FS1 and the datagathering mission comes up, the one where you're supposed to scan the containers. Then they just start blowing up, "Nononono I havent scanned them yet!!1"

Re: the anything but scary moments
The vasudan who reckoned the meson failed to nail the knossos because it ws of "terran design" always gets a grin.
 
I thought the moment when the Carthage & Dashor arrived in Into the Lions Den (?) was a classic FS2 moment, especially when the beams starting getting thrown about.

Uhm... Did command say that?
Hell... I need the english Version of FS1 and 2 ;)
In german, command only says that I can destroy as many turrets as I can and that this is only optional so I shouldn't not take any unnecessary risk...

A few lines in german FS1/2 weren't translated correctly or weren't accentuated(?) right...

Yeah, that's the line, but it was typical of Command's insanity so he paraphrased it as "go blow it up by yourself".

I'll give a mention to any one of Blaise Russel's campaign finales. STL, S:AH, and FoEP all have excellent endings that get as close to being BoE but still being enjoyable and replayable. :)

Re: the anything but scary moments
My favorite is

"Why don't command just shut down that protal, we have no business being out here.

"yeah, I never signed on for hunting Shivans"

And the best quote in the game comes next.

"Don't fool yourself pilot, we're the ones being hunted."

Dang! Beat me to it:D


Allright...escorting the Iceni.. and then after you managed to kill off all the vasudans and escort both ships trough the asteroid field, Bosch get's all psycho and decides to ram the Hinton at subspace entering speed.

Or the classic:

"How you're holding up Beta?"
"We're hurting Sir. They sent every damn bomber in the shivan armada!"
"What kind of bombers?"
"Seraphim. Nephilim... you name it!" :lol:
