That was when the Het-Ka arrived.

Now that I got that out of the way, favorite quote of all time (Derelict):
Something along the lines of "Damn straight! And when I get that medal I'm going to duct tape it to my cockpit!
"We damn well better. And I will duct tape it to my cockpit." :p

Re: Favorite Quote in Freespace
Favorite non JAD quote is from derelict

"And the defecation is about to hit the ventilation."



the actual quote (played the mission couple days back)

"Alpha 2(Mackie): Looks like the defecation's about to hit the ventilation"




To remain in canon however, one quote I love:


Admiral Koth, NTD Repulse:

"Your cynisism appals me Colossus.  I have ten thousand officers and crew willing to die for Neo Terra.  The Tyranny of your regime is finished!  Admiral Koth out!"


Or one that made me almost fall out of my chair because of how much it surprised me...

Lt. Comm. Snipes:  DIVE! DIVE! DIVE! HIT YOUR BURNERS PILOT!

followed by death...


Honestly, is there ANYONE who didn't just stand there the first time and become a stain on that Sath's hull?

Me. I've never been rammed by Sathanas 03 before. That's the only non-cheat claim I can make from the day I started playing FS2 to today.

I'm not the only one who can make this claim, though. See this old thread. :)

EDIT: Oh, upon looking at that thread, if you think diving and living on the first try is cool, look at Rian. She did it on her first time WITH LAG.

Hum... me :)

Actually I didn't know what "dive" meant before this sequence (I'm not a native english speaker) so I went full burner to the right... Avoided the Sath with at least 50 meters left.

I did... But then I subsequently got killed by the blast of a Shivan Comm Node and had to replay the mission again... On my second, third, forth and fifth tries I went up.

Looking back I can't help thinking I was a complete retard back then. :lol:

Re: Favorite Quote in Freespace
Gonna come back with a bit of explanation.

I've been playing Discovery Freelancer. Got some old HLP-guys together there, and we founded the NTF, the Neo Terran Front, there. The ]NTF[ is much different than FS2 NTF. We're rebels, but not to the extent of the rebellion in this universe.

Anyway, our main line whenever someone gives us issues, is,

"The NTF is the ONLY legitimate authority in THIS system!"

I flew into an SGreen once without really realising it.

Come on, you totally should notice when you're flying into one. Those things can totally mess up the paintjob on your Serapis.

I DID see it. The problem is, I was so close to it that, for a few seconds, I became retarded and my mind had the same intelligence as a moth, so I ended up afterburning into it, rather than flying away from it. I was like, "Ooh, shiny." and I flew right into it at full speed. In an Ursa.

When I died, I did the biggest facepalm you can ever imagine.

Re: Favorite Quote in Freespace
I'd swear the Hawkwood actually does try to target you with at least one of it's TerSlashes if you're roughly the same distance as or closer than Enif Station.

Just today, I was about a klick(possibly more) below Enif when the Hawkwood jumped in; one of its two forward beams drew cleanly across the station...and the other went clearly well under the station, horizontally, and a little overhead. Other times, it snipes you with them(it's not the middle of a grand wide slash); you're just minding your own business near the station(well beyond 1500m), and the next moment you hear, 'whirrr...poof!'. The beam is nowhere to be seen on the death screen, as if you were the intended target of a very short beam slash.

-------

So many good ones already taken, so... I'm not the only one who enjoys snarking back at the TSM instructor, am I? So mechanical, and yet so serious...

"Welcome to Training Simulator Module TSM-1XXx, pilot. Don't touch the controls until you are told to do so. You will fail this session, if you do not follow instructions carefully!"

After asking you to target him in TSM-103a:
"That is the lead indicator. It shows you where YOU NEED to fire your primary weapon, in order to hit your target."
