Different ways, canon and non-canon to get killed
Oddly enough, there are multiple ways to get mashed up rather than be destroyed by lasers from an enemy fighter.

CANON

1. Get hit by lasers or beams, or flak.
2. Continously get bashed around by that giant radar dish from a Fenris cruiser.
3. Suicidally go no more than 10 metres from the Shivan Comm-Node, in an effort to break down the crystal, when you get pushed a click away frome it by the blade.
4. You think, "hey, Faustus, wanna piece o' me?!" you think the Faustus is immensely weak when you get adjacent to it, bombard it with missiles, when you realize you suddenly get grinded by its huge windmill  :confused:
5. You think, after destroying the Ravana, "phew. mission accomplished. All I have to do is to fly straight through the explosion to get a great view of me, heroically bringing it down" when, "Alpha 1 was killed by an explosion from Ravana"
6. You go near the Belisaurius in the first mission, only to get rammed to death by the Psamtik.
7. You, for having a crush on the SJ Sathanas, try to hug it while you get rammed to death, and end up splattering in subspace.
8. You continously collide into Colly's frontal spike, until you get fatally pierced.
9. You get shocked as the Lysander's beam hits you, killing you instantly. Somehow, the complaint of your fellow pilot is outdated.
10. You fly out of the Lucy's fighterbay, and notice a Shivan squad already waiting for you outside. They greet you with a "Hello! Goodbye!" manner.
11. You fly so far, and collide with yourself. "Desertion is grounds for a court-martial, pilot. Return to the battle now!" - Command

NON-CANON

?? Any suggestions??
With the rapid increase of FS fan-made campaigns, we're giving the GTVA a harder time with more violence and genocide.

..... Hull dancing is a skill that needs to be trained. And staying close to a ship (ANY ship) that is about to blow up strikes me as unwise.

Getting killed by the shockwaves of your own tempests by bombarding something too close to it.

lololololololol

For War in Heaven development, Fury added fuses to friendly torpedoes so they wouldn't arm until close to the target. We had to do this because GTVA ships would swat down flights of UEF torpedoes with their point defenses, and the shockwaves would murder all nearby fighters.

It was silly.

I had one warp on me on two separate occasions when going through the FRED tutorial.  It helps to actually save your bugfixes after you make them. :p

Re: Different ways, canon and non-canon to get killed
I would like to see a more thorough explanation of this KWG phenomenon.  While that thread FUBAR-BDHR provided hints at what might be going on, I'd like to know more backstory for it.
<Nuclear>   truth: the good samaritan actually checked for proof of citizenship and health insurance
<Axem>   did anyone catch jesus' birth certificate?
<Nuclear>   and jesus didnt actually give the 5000 their fish...he gave it to the romans and let it trickle down
<Axem>and he was totally pro tax breaks
<Axem>he threw out all those tax collectors at the temple
<Nuclear>   he drove a V8 camel too
<Nuclear>   with a sword rack for his fully-automatic daggers

Esarai: hey gaiz, what's a good improvised, final attack for a ship fighting to buy others time to escape to use?

Re: Different ways, canon and non-canon to get killed
If WCS will ever add "Skipper" missiles (AKA cloaking torpedoes) to FS2, running into one will be a way to get killed that have very long tradition (it happened to my Father in WC3, when he flyed straight at Kilrathi corvette that was launching them). It was even before I was born (or at least when I was less that one year old).  :)
