What about evacuation procedures?

The Capellans were lucky since the evacuations started when the first Sathanas appeared!

Never understood why he had to stay on the ship, he had plenty of time to evacuate.

An admiral dies with his ship.

Ever watched Titanic?

[AlphaOne]

the ships outside of capella could from the shivan point of view be a vew cruisers or a god damn horde of collies...! So that would explain somehow why the  shivans bothered to take out the collie. You know an eye for an eye and well just put a dent in the whole imaginary collie horde waiting for them(shivans) !

[Hades]

That makes no sense.Only one was made.ONE!!!!!

That is not a Titanic-only feature.

Shh...the shivans don't know THAT.

[Mobius]

It makes no difference. A Sathanas is superior. The problem is that Alpha 1 ruins the party

[akenbosch]

use the self-desrtuct SEXP on alpha 1 and all is fixed.

There's no "self-desrtuct" SEXP that I know of.

[Colonol Dekker]

ship-self-destruct    I thought there was, *goes to check wiki*

[Snail]

There's no "ship-self-destruct" or "self-derstuct" SEXP.

Let's not nit-pick typos. Pretty much all of us make them from time to time and the board goes downhill very quickly if we drag the thread off topic for every single one.

Meh, another stupid joke that wasn't funny...

This thread is already off topic.

I am beginning to hate these "OMGWTFROTFLMAOBBQSALADNAMBLA Alpha 1 PWNS ALL!!!" threads.

On topic, when can we expect more eyecandy?

Words of wisdom.

Eyecandy? Put candies in your eyes. Or go to the OTHER thread.

[colecampbell666]

Oops, wrong thread. Heh heh.

[Agent_Koopa]

Uh... keeping the thread back on (off-)topic...

The Colossus was finally destroyed because it was fast becoming a nuisance, and a Ravana was incapable of handling the situation. That's why. To reiterate, with the Master Plan so close to completion, not much else mattered. If the Colossus had been with the Bastion, the Ravana would be going about its business elsewhere. Fighters and bombers only were being sent to attack the Bastion. If the Colossus had been with it, the Shivans wouldn't have cared. IIRC, the Bastion was sent to close off the Epsilon Pegasi node. Essentially, it was retreating. According to the nodemap (which neglects to label Epsilon Pegasi (and shows Procyon A as completely isolated from allied systems at the time of the rebellion - WTF?)) the Bastion would have been heading back to allied space, through the systems previously controlled by the NTF. The Shivans would have considered this another fleeing ship and assigned only the usual to attack it; loads of fighters and bombers.

Well the shivans were more or less ignorant of the mission goals of those 2 destroyers! Also the fact that the shivans sortied onlyannoing cruisers and corvettes means they were more or less not interested in the fleeing GTVA warships and decided to just "play" with the GTVA sending loads of fighters/bommbers and a few cruisers and corvettes!

Very, very good point here. That's a valid explanation, something I didn't take in consideration
