MORE BEAMZ (as long as it doesn't trash framerate!)

Battuta, the only thing that trashes framerate (for me) is ship detail.

Eh... the key to FE is wingmen control.

I agree. The mission's made such that you can't really do it unless if you make use of your C key or the directives shortcuts.

[Thaeris]

JAD3 and the GTCv Pork. 

[Riptide572]

Into the Lion's Den by far in my opinion. It had that right "charisma" of everything. It wasn't even that great of a mission to be honest (in terms of objectives), but it made you really feel like you where there. Stay alive and record what you can in uncharted space, behind enemy lines, all while brushing shoulders with the Shivans.
I can't remember a line of dialog from FS2 as strongly as I can, "DIVE! DIVE! DIVE! HIT YOUR BURNER'S PILOTS!!!" And seeing a Sathanas jumping a node directly in front of you.

I concur

That was by far, the most lively script I've heard in that game. It also started the mission in such a way that you just go HOLY ****

[Hamenaglar]

Just playing slaying Ravana on Hard

grrrrr. Yes one wing of bombers covered by three fighters was supposed to destroy the shivan destroyer. Seriously why am I always heavily outnumbered.

[Thaeris]

Quite enjoying Sync. As of right now, I get the impression this one would need much less work than Transcend to work the minor kinks out and get it voiced. Much, much, better balance than Transcend...

...That's a little off topic, though...

[Stormkeeper]

The destruction of the first Sathanas. Somehow, the Colossus missed its shot and hit the little, tiny bomber flitting around pinpricking the Sath, minding its own business. Took me 5 seconds to realise what had happened.

You're Alpha One. THE SHIVANS are outnumbered, not you.

You're never gonna win the war with the Shivans unless you win while outnumbered.

Now... "If Command wants your opinion they'll promote you to Admiral, now shut up and focus!"

Play on insane, nub.

Hey, it's not the command that's risking their life in a slow, nonmanouverable tin can with a bull's eye painted on the ass.

I need some cover here folks.

You're not the only one I get my ass kicked on th emission all the time. I hear that ther's a corvette nearby where you can take shelter. In the 20+ times I played that mission I don't think I got anywhere near it.

Well of course a tin can isn't maneuverable!
It doesn't have engines!


And I believe Command is risking their life in a slow tin can. Just, not near the battle

[Stormkeeper]

No fear. I'm not that insane.

DIVE DIVE DIVE< HIT YOUR BURNERS PILOT!!!  I was in a constant state of awe, but I wasn't all too enthused about the really long distance flight to take out that last com node...  But I loved flying the Mara...  I just wish I had seen more weird Shivan stuff, like colonies or space ports, or world-ships, or space-factories  and whut!? another Knossos!?  Does that go to Shivan home turf?  How big is their empire?  Mind blown...

I also loved the Nyrlathotep missions in the Derelict campaign, so mysterious and epic, and I enjoyed my wingmates for once.

[Mav]

In some mission towards the end of the retail campaign, there was some Cain or Lilith (I think it was a Cain) that attacked something I had to guard (maybe it was even the transports in the last mission...) .

Guess what happened?
My (brandnew, i.e. 100%) Ares (back then I always chose that if possible) got caught in a BIG red Shivan beam... It somehow survived, but afterwards, hull integrity read as "1%" ... 

 

No need to mention that I had to replay the mission, is there?



And the other point that burned into my memory was in some self-Freded mission... But not because of my Freding skills.
A Lucifer warping in with Lightspeeds animated green glowmaps... a GREAT sight to behold!! 

[maelstrom0511]

Whichever one it was (I'll find out soon, I'm gonna play the whole campaign through again) in the main FreeSpace 2 campaign where you hear at the very beginning:

DIVE! DIVE! DIVE!

Classic 

[Tantalus53]

That one mission (Pandoras box i think its called) when your trying to get shields from the shivans and right after you show up they spring a trap on you. It was amazing the first time i played it.

[Polpolion]

The mission in which the Iceni is scuttled is pretty intense, as is "Their Finest Hour," and "Apocalypse."

[deathfun]

Clash of the Titans, Freespace One

Many years ago, I first laid eyes on that mission. Never passed it
Only three or so years ago, I reinstalled the game, and played through remembering most missions. Then I got to the one I never passed

When I managed to get the Bastion to survive, I was amazed but not prepared for the mission after the next. Subspace engagement? Pretty blue cylinder?

Blew me away, though as disconcerting it was (round and round and round it goes)

The FS1 subspace mission has to rank as one of the most awe inspiring missions of the FS series, I am still moved every time I see that tunnel, tbh it would have been nice to have seen another subspace mission in FS2 just to see what would have done with the effect
