I, like many independently minded people, ignored Snipes and pulled up, burning hard. And like many, stupid, command disobeying ámadans; I died.

[ShivanSpS]

Personally i died, but since when i never dive... i always turn to the left... to the rakshasa.... you can survive too...

[Mongoose]

I vaguely knew what was about to happen from lurking about here, but Snipes screaming that line still got me to jump a good foot or two out of my chair.  Realizing that I had no chance of getting out of the way by that point, I muttered "Screw it" and afterburned right into the Sathanas' windshield.

[Game_Master64]

now, there was a thread about that somewhere. something about alpha 1 making a good hood ordiment for a sath

[Polpolion]

I have reflexes like a cat...well moreso when I first played the mission when it was...what....17?  Anyways I got the heck out of the way but did that ever get my reflexes going.

I have reflexes like a cat too. Except the cat that my reflexes are like is kind of... dead.

I tried that for fun once... and survived... with 23% hull. 

[haloboy100]

i tried that and ended up with half my ship as a hood ornament....the other half with me in it with 2% hull...

[Luigicheater]

My first "Dive! Dive! Dive! Hit your burners, pilot!" resulted in survival. Unlike most people, when I'm told to "Dive!" I turn... Left. >_>;

[MT]

I was one of those who pulled up. It looked better to pull up than to dive and so I died. I am not sure if this is due to the fact that I was playing SCP that the warp effect obscured the Sathanas and gave the wrong impression. Once, when I switched off SCP, I could see the Sathanas clearly and the obvious path was to dive (as Snipes said).

[Wanderer]

I was absentmindedly sipping coffee when starting the mission.. as usually you have a second or to two take your bearings before action in the mission kicks in.. Well.. almost all the coffee fell to my lap... Go me....

And yeah.. i didnt make it.. got squeezed between sathanas and jump vortex... or something

[Nerhesi]

Someone please clue me in to what we are talking about?

"Into the Lions Den"  Second SOC loop (IIRC)

and........



Quite frankly I **** myself, dropped my cig in my lap, burnt my bollocks, swore profusely and promptly died becoming the said hood ornament. Certainly didn't do it the second time. I wouldn't mind, but I knew it was coming eventually as someone told me about it, I just wasn't expecting it at that point!

[Vasudan Commander]

ahh..the HLP forums. How i missed it. ^_^

[nubbles526]

Oh, I think everybody just love these kinda things...

I tried to turned back, and it worked!!!   However, the Sathanas hit me on the Mara's ass and I ended up about 2-10 clicks away from the jumpnode.

Mr. Derek can't even think of this!

I climbed rolled and banked..................and got clipped but didn't die. 

[TrashMan]

Shivans should just equipp several very big fly squatters on those 4 arms and keep the Saths jumping in the middle of the biggest mess....Goodbye Alpha...and 2...and 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,....

[SeanP]

Dove, no burners, splat.

[haloboy100]

it's been stated before... you don't need burners. Hell, snipes and the rest of the wing don't even use burners, they just fly streight down, without being nicked by the sath.

[Game_Master64]

ya just gotta boost your engines a bit
