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

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 Somehow, the complaint of your fellow pilot is outdated.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
