Yeah. That's a great line. I mentioned it last time there was a classic FS2 quotes thread :)

Loved the Kappa one in "A Game of Tag", he was clearly panicking, begging the command to get out and then command said "Disregard Kappa's communication" or something. Very cool.

The best is probably GTVA's alternate cocky and bleak tone. One minute they were touting "Show them what firepower is about", the next minute it's like Shivans are coming, run. :)

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

You missed "If Command wanted your opinion they'd promote you to admiral" :D

You forgot the "now shut up and focus" part  :p

"Whoa, watch the friendly fire!  You get hit and you won't even make it to your own service!"
"Avoid the beam and you won't get hit pilot."

Re: the anything but scary moments
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...

Quick question: Do the non-English versions of FS2 come with non-English voice files?  Or does the English voice file play for the German message?  (The latter case would probably get pretty confusing.)

My favorite giggle moment is whenever the vasudan pilots start talking.

Beta 2: "You fight like a vasudan!"
Alpha 1(thinking): "But I didn't just try to kamakazi my ship into the destroyer's main guns like you crazy fools kept doing during the first great war..."

Beta 2: "FORMIDABLE!"
Alpha 1(thinking): "They get this excited when I blow up a cargo container?"

Beta 2: "Avenge me!"
Alpha 1(thinking): "You just flew a serapis into the Sathanas's main flak cannons. I think you earned that one you kamakazi psycho."

It's more the tone of voice when you're blundering around in the nebula looking for Snipes ;)

Makes sense and is true. Command knows these things, you know...

I think its hilarious when the wing man dude goes "NAAAAAOOOOOOOOO *CHSsssshshhhh*" *explodes*

Its cool when the guy goes "Cover ME, COVER ME!!!"

Man alpha 2 had awsome voice acting skillz. And I swear to god they used Admiral Wolf's voice again somwhere in freespace 2, possibly i wing man...

I know a few people who would have liked it if it was Macross :D
Alltough if that were true, the shivans would be the ones calling for help.

Re: the anything but scary moments
"And when the destroyers came at last, what did the Ancients think as they sifted the cremation of dust and bones, staring into the mute remains for a key... Some.. solution to thier plight.  What if there had been countless races, stretching back into infinity?  And like the nine cities of Troy, each civilization had been built on the rubble the one that came before..  Each.. annhiliated by the Shivans..."  The Ancients died 8000 years ago.  As humanity emerged from it's neolithic infancy, they believe thier voyage across the sea of stars woke a dragon that slept beneath the waves, that the Shivans were birthed from the flux of subspace, and thier destruction was the revenge of an angry cosmos."

My favorite monologue, though I love all of Bosch Monologue sequences.
