What was your favorite piece of dialogue from Freespace (it can be from one of the official games or a user-made campaign/mission).

Mine was from a single user-made mission (unfortunately I forget the name or the person who made it); it went something like this (setting was GTVA ships were defending some installation against a Shivan attack):


Vasudan captain:  Don't worry pilots, the GTD Alamo will be here soon to help us.

*In jumps the GTC Alamo*

Vasudan captain:  Command!  The GTC Alamo?!?!  I was promised the GTD Alamo!

GTVA Command:  Them's the breaks.

Vasudan captain:  Them's the breaks?!  Them's the breaks?!



I laughed for a while after that mission.

"Darcy you lying son of a *****!"
destiny of peace

"somebody set us up the bomb!"
silent threat reborn

You would be well advised to question the wisdom of your leaders....

[Veers]

I do rather enjoy the next segment of that.. "Helm, engage subspace drive"

[Rodo]

Ductape chronicles from derelict are one of the few that struck me, along with some lines from WiH, JAD and DEM.
Favourite one... mmm, will have to think about it a while before I answer.

INFR1
*Superdestroyer jumps in during a cargo raid*
"Stay calm pilots, we have a situation developing!"
"No ****!"

Now that I think about it, overall favorite may have been too broad for what I intended.  I just kind of wanted to focus on humorous dialogue or that which one found funny.

Could a mod please change the thread title to "Most funny Freespace dialogue"?



I may do an overall favorite one in the future.

haha shivin's you war us on too time's two many now we war on you

[-Norbert-]

If you go for funny, I'd also go for the crazed Vasudan captain with "someone set us up the bomb".
Otherwise from WiH "Can we take them?" "I can. Try to keep up!" when facing the SOC wing.

As my signature says.

Actually, every frakking dialogue in JAD.

[NeonShivan]

"That was a little too close. We gotta wait 15 minutes to change our shorts..."

^^

[Jeff Vader]

"Noooooooo!!!"

[Nohiki]

*monkeying about in the node*
"A Ravana just jumped in!"
Me: Kiddin' me?!

[Vrets]

Command: "You're out of line, pilot!"

Alpha 2: "I can live with being a pawn if the game makes sense!"

(30 seconds later)

Alpha 2:" NOOOOOOOOOO!" /killed by anti-fighter guns

Command: (situation has resolved itself)

[Destiny]

"Helm, engage subspace drive."

[MatthTheGeek]

"False words of welcome from an invading army. Do not waste our time further with this parley.

Set a Red Alert throughout the ship. Prepare missile tubes and forward guns to fire on my command. Desperta Ferro! We die as we live: on our feet!

Signal Third Fleet HQ to send reinforcements. If you want our system, warmongers, you'll have to fight us for it."

[Mongoose]

"INCOOOOOMIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!"

[Deadly in a Shadow]

Time for some serious dialogue.

"Yeah, don't count on that. Admiral Steele doesn't play by the old rules."
"Stand by, pilots. We're tracking an inbound jump signature."
"That's impossible. The Atreus was engaged near Luna five minutes ago. He can't jump like that, he'll wreck his reactor - blow his ship's own guts out!"
"So it's true, what they say. He's insane."
"Not insane. Reckless, relentless, and lucky. He's a gentleman psychopath."

You need to be friggin lucky for such a jump...Steele is the man.

"Tell your Admiral that some day we'll dance our little dance to the end - but not today, Vikrant. Not today. My compliments on a match well played. Helm, take us back to Jupiter."

[X3N0-Life-Form]

"Avoid the beams and you won't get hit."
"What? Do I look Shivan to you?"

"Command, do you read me? They escaped! The whole lab is trashed, the scientists are dead, sent a team down here!"

"AUTOMATED WARNING: INTERNAL TEMPERATURE AT 27,000 DEGREES. DEPLOYING DISASTER BEACON."
"I can see people moving."

"Dragons. ****ING dragons!"
