Re: Favorite Quote in Freespace
You destroyed the NTSC PAL, a helpless ship that cost a lot of money.
You'll make Admiral one day.

Fixed.

Think VCRs and TVs and stuff.

TV broadcasts in North America are done in NTSC format. 30 FPS, 640x480 pixels screen size.

For everywhere else in the world, there's PAL. 25 FPS, 720x576 pixels screen size.

Kudos to Axem for knowing something like this. :)

Re: Favorite Quote in Freespace
I have the tendency to want to avoid the beams, but for some reason I never can.  :D

And for some reason...

Whenever I'm playing a really intense mission, no matter the campaign, and that I manage to survive with under 10% hull integrity, I get hit by a beam just as I'm jumping out.

I've thrown my joystick clear across the room more than once because of this...(and had to replace it at one time cuz I broke it :) )

 
Re: Favorite Quote in Freespace
I have a lot of favorites quotes from the Freespace games.

"Not sorrow but vengance"  Vasudan pilot
"I know why the Ancient Ones were destroyed, and I know what they knew. I know that if not for the Shivans they would have perished long before. Without the Shivans, someone would have discovered the Ancient Ones in their infancy, and eliminated them, just as surely as they eliminated countless billions of others. I believe it is only the destroyers who are killed. The Shivans are the great destroyers, but they are also the great preservers. That is why when we moved into space, there was no one powerful enough to kill us. Long had we been the destroyer. Our turn had nearly come. In the Vasudan war we learned how to adapt. We learned how to study our enemy. We learned how to overcome. We learned how to survive, and so we did. All the jump points from Earth are gone, but the Shivans can rebuild them. I'm told we can expect them again, but not in my lifetime... such is liberation."  Alpha 1
"I'M GOING DOWN I'M GOING DOWN!" Terran pilot
"Iota 2 has been destroyed. This massacre must end now!" Command
"Alpha 1 please respond!" Sometimes when you die in Freespace 1 a pilot says that. And i like the fact about how everyone seems to care about you, yet no one gives a **** about the other pilots when they get slaugtered.
"Ignorance is the greatest weapon of tyranny and old wounds open all too easily." Aken Bosch

Kappa 3: Mayday! Mayday! This is Kappa 3 of the 107th Ravens, GTD Aquitane! Command, do you copy?
Command: Affirmative, Kappa 3. What's your status?

I like how Command wasn't surprised at all after finding one of the lost pilots of the nebula.

Re: Favorite Quote in Freespace

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?


For the first 2x when I played that mission the first time....
I can't remember how many  times I tried to avoid going SPLAT! before I actually succeeded....let alone the times I thought I did but got the paint peeled of the Mara and so died anyway...

Click the sig.

Incidentally I know you pulled a 'blatant advertisement' from the BP wiki entry, but it wasn't meant as such - someone just cut-and-pasted the release thread description to the wiki and it wasn't altered.

Re: Favorite Quote in Freespace
Remember how angry he is when saying "Do NOT collide with my ship!"?

Has anyone managed to kill that friggin' Instructor though? (AFAIK your weapons subsystems don't get automatically destroyed in vanilla FS1)

*Lines up 200m from instructor. Engages afterburners. Collides with instructor. Instructor says "Well done".
After you kill the instructor with cheats, command says "No reinforcements are available pilot, you're on your own!"

"That's not good enough Command, we're not properly armed out here..."
"Damn it, Command let Bosch escape!"
"We got to wait 15 minutes to change our shorts,....giggle...stop laughing there co-pilot!"

I always mix this one up: "You can discuss this at your debriefing, we now have rebel reports of @&$%&@..."

"Deploying support ship now, please stand by..." And get shot down?

Also, "Match my speed Now pilot, you MUST follow instructions if you wish to complete this module!" He seems like he's about to chuck a tantrum...
