[Dark Hunter]

"Somebody set up us the bomb!" (Yes, really.)

"Poum! Poum! Shivan Super Lasers shoot!"

"I've confirmed this truce with my government. Consider yourselves... fortunate."

EASD Nemesis, from Inferno R1, penultimate mission.

[Nuclear1]

"Nav Buoy Game? What the hell?"

[FreeSpaceFreak]

"Somebody set up us the bomb!" (Yes, really.)

"Poum! Poum! Shivan Super Lasers shoot!"

You beat me to it These shellshocked Vasudans were really good.

Fantastic Shivan Explanation

[ssmit132]

Some more obscure ones:

"Nav Buoy Game? What the hell?" Beta 2 (?), fifth mission of Rogue Intentions (?)

"I've confirmed this truce with my government. Consider yourselves... fortunate."Admiral Valen (?) - EASD Nemesis, Nemesis, Inferno R1

"Relax! This plan's foolproof. There's no way the Bastion's gonna mess it up." Epsilon 1 (?), first mission of Sol: A History 2335

"Execute them." EA High Command, The Star That Failed, Sol: A History 2375 (I'm not sure on the year)

"The Shivans have destroyed the Sathanas!" Maybe Into the Depths of Hell: Chapter 3?

"My oath is to the people of Altair.  The Archon would sell off our riches and make us a whore of the GTVA, I will not stand for that." Don't know this one

"Somebody set up us the bomb!" (Yes, really.) PVD Hope, 13th (?) mission of Silent Threat: Reborn

"Poum! Poum! Shivan Super Lasers shoot!"  Vasudan wingman, same mission as above

Fantastic Shivan Explanation
SC Parvati, last mission of Deus Ex Machina. (Wasn't that mission called Deus Ex Machina too?)

All from memory, I could have looked up the mission files, but that would take all the fun out of it.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

NTC Roffle, may the god of plasma core insertions have mercy on your soul.

[azile0]

I thought the freaky Shivan transmission was from JAD, from the ETAM project?

[Nuclear1]

Nope, ETAM was destroyed in hilarious circumstances involving Kool-Aid and a beaver.

[Woolie Wool]

"You wanna hear another story about duct tape?"

"This is mass murder!"

"This is business."

"Now, Alpha 1, would you be a good boy and activate your self-destruct sequence for me?"

"Sa Terra, vessels of the GTA! Admiral Amentep out."

[Androgeos Exeunt]

"You wanna hear another story about duct tape?"

Mackie from Derelict.

"This is mass murder!"

"This is business."

Scylla and a Pirate from TBP:RW.

"Now, Alpha 1, would you be a good boy and activate your self-destruct sequence for me?"

Eris from TBP:RW, and I think she said, "Be a good boy now, Alpha leader, activate your self-destruct for me?"

"Sa Terra, vessels of the GTA! Admiral Amentep out."

Admiral Amentep from ST:R.

[azile0]

"You're pretty funny."
"Really?"
"No."

[Nuclear1]

Sync?

[eliex]

Yeah . . . in Freighterspotting.

When I first read that, I was thinking, "This journey with Farae is really going to be a dash with a cranky captain on board." 

[azile0]

Mmhmm. Too bad the Ester died off first..

[admiral_wolf]

GOOD GOD WE'VE LOST THE GALATEA!

We mourn the loss of Admiral Wolf.  He was a great commander and he died with the ship he loved.

Easy enough, but they are my most memorable moments.

[Polpolion]

You would be well advised to question the wisdom of your leaders... Helm, engage subspace drive.

[Snail]

DIVE! DIVE! DIVE! Hit your burners-- ()

Stop laughing there co-pilot!






Okay, so in the original source file it says "EVADE EVADE EVADE" but a corruption of the more widely known quote is more effective

[Goober5000]

"Ha!  Your puny corvette is no match for our massive destroyer with an equally massive name!"

"Navigation is the worst offender; we've been able to jury-rig a conversion interface but that pile of junk needs more babysitting than a two-year-old on Zod dust."

"With all due respect Admiral Glaive, I take orders from GTA High Command only.  I will not transfer this pod to the Repulse or anywhere else without their express authorization."

[Nuclear1]

No quoting your own campaigns. Bad Goobie!

[Goober5000]
