3. You were assigned to destroy the Hades with 8 Ursas and a Fenris cruiser with laser turrets.
4. Your insurance was cancelled...before your first combat mission.
5. The warship that you serve on only shows reruns of Steve Harvey…over…and over…and over.
6. Command asks you to update your will…daily.
7. Your new wingman joined the GTVA from the HOL…today.
8. Command deploys your wing to destroy a Shivan ship with Zeus Bombers...the ship is the SD Sathanas.

Considering there's no such thing as the SD Sathanas, I figure you'll win that one :p

Well, you weren't lying when you said you were bored..

You didn't add my first one!

Your Hecate only has MX-52s onboard. :D

10. It's one of those missions where you can't customize your load-out, and all you have are ML-16's and MX-50's...in a Freespace 2 mission.

11. You are sent to destroy the SJ Sathanas...with no backup at all. And you have to take it out using Furies. In FreeSpace 2.

You must have been real bored to start this, Virtu. ;)
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

In my Evil SHaS Mission of Doom (TM), you're in a GTF Apollo with an Avenger, a ML-16,  and two sets of MX-50s..... without the ability to customize your loadout..... acting as live bait for about 12 Serapis-class interceptors..... and your wingmen, even though they are in Perseus-class interceptors and Ares-class fighters, don't show up until after the Vasudans have taken the bait.

13) I quote: "Alpha 1, here's your cruiser. It's a Fenris retrofit from the Great War. Oh, and we need you to attack the final rebel stronghold." :shaking:
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

14. the ship that serves as your base of operations has no Bosch Bear...and never has
15. the only fighters available to you are Zeus bombers
16. Command sends you in with a full squadron, you're the spy, half your core detonators dont work.

18.  You have to destroy the Sathanas beam weapons by yourself, while your wingmates fly round in circles getting shot at by 2 huge flack turrets. :doh:

19.  OK alpha, your mission today is to lure the manticores and dragons away from the konnosos back to the Rennenet, and then the Rennenet will watch you be killed by them.

20/  You've been serving on the one ship since basic training, you've risen through the ranks, killed every concievable type of enemy ship, saved countless destroyers, flown deep into hostile territory, been a spy and given command of your own elite squadron....yet the Aquitanes captain still can't remember your name.

21/  You get moved squadron every 2 weeks

22/ you're asked to fly a Ulysses.  With TAGs.  In a Shivan nebula

23/  Command actually goes to fetch enemy fighters for 22 - and brings back vastly more than you can handle

24/  You're sent to a vasudan destroyer to get rid of you

25/ You're asked to fly paper-thin Vasudan fighters to destroy highly explosive gas-miners

26/ You are sent to recon a Sathanas.  Solo.  In an untested 'stealth' fighter with 2 rubber-band propelled pebbles as primary weapons.

27/  command has allocated your squadron 300 sets of brand new missiles, for a deep recon in Shivan territory.   The're all TAGs.

28/  You are given the most imcompetent wingmen in the galaxy - who are more than capable of flying straight into enemy craft, capital ships, each other...and you.

29/ You and your wingmen are sent into combat missions where they have an average life expectancy of approx. 2 and a half minutes.

31. You've faced every kind of enemy anyone could ever imagine...and some. You've destroyed them all. You've served in the GTVA for six months and flown a mission every single day. And you're still an ensign.

Why do people keep on dissing the Zeus? The Zeus kicks ass, if you know how to use it. =_=
