Amen, the Zeus is my bomber of choice (from the original game of course )

[Redfang]

Zeus? Never heard. Must be some bad ship, because I know good ones.
 
 
jk
 
But seriously, I think Zeus isn't that good.

[LtNarol]

lets just say, i prefer the loki for dogfights and the myrmidon for bombing

[Nuclear1]

My favorite ships in all would be the Herc II and Perseus

Stay on-topic people. We don't need another 'Fave Ship' thread.

What?  You have a problem with that?  Sounds like a walk in the park to me.

Keeping an Off Topic thread On Topic is rather difficult

32) Small "research party" mysteriously disappears while on "derelict"
33) Contact with a system containing a large military force is suddenly lost; Command denies "phantom ships"
34) You are assigned to protect refugee convoys fleeing from a system with a "large Shivan presence"
35) Command assigns you to guard the largest space-faring vessel ever built...and the plans for it don't match the actual vessel.

33) You find out that Command is a big black bald guy, who's vocabulary consists of two lines "Incoming jump signature! Hostile configuration" and "No reinforcements are available pilot, you're on your own".

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

They should consider themselves lucky, the stated average life of a Marine on the battlefields of Starcraft was 8 seconds, and thats even after medics apeared in the game.



34.  You fly the support ship.

35. Command decide to send you and 3 other pilots (who have all been involved in top secret missions) deep into shivan space and then fix your engines so that you can't leave for 15 minutes.

36.  Command sacrifices several capital ships on several different occasions to 'buy a little more time'.  What exactly they're buying time for is unknown.

[Stryke 9]

37. Duct tape gets rationed.

38. Your blood type is stamped onto your helmet....

One of my friends has his blood type writen on his scrum cap for when we are playying rugby - but i prefer only to wear a gum sheild, so i cant really write on it.


40.  They dont even bother to give you a cyanide pill incase you get captured or left behind in a nebula.

41) Instead of giving you mission updates, Command starts saying knock-knock jokes.

42) "No reinforcements are available, pilot. You're on your own." Right in front of a big fat Sathanas

[aldo_14]

43/ All the other fighters have sharks teeth painted on the cockpit - yours has 'please don't hit me'

44/ Your fighter has a beaded seat cover

45/ Your fighter has been repaired with polyfilla & sellotape

46/ Command lets you get ambushed by 2 wings of NTf Hercs, and only sends reinforcements after you kill them

47/  the special-edition 'Ares' fighter you get assigned is exactly the same is a Hercules Mk.II -except it has extra fins to be shot at -  and is coloured a blood red colour

48/  you get the fighter with suspicious red and brown stains in the cockpit

49/  Your joystick has been replaced with a wooden chair leg

50/ You get ordered to scan a meson bomb to 'check if it  is about to blow up'

51/ you get assigned to a Vasudan squadron, and given a flight jacket with 'HEAD' and an up arrow painted on the back

52. Getting sent to Capella to evac the system only to, no matter what you do or how good you are, most or all the civilians and marine transports die, then all of a sudden u see a bright..............LIGHT. command tells you Capella has gone supernova and tell you your only "Advised:mad: " to leave the system. You keep about your buisness and next thing you know...............Supernova go *pop*

[Corsair]

53. Your fighter looks oddly like a drone from the simulators and has "shoot me" painted on it in giant letters.

Has somebody already said this or am I being original?
