Accidentally squished between the Taranis and the docking Halkins.

What.

What.

Flat what.

I vaguely remember back in the FS1 days I was playing one of the multi-missions solo where you have to destroy a Demon destroyer to save a science colony. Managed to disable it, down the other fighters and get it to critical, but during one of the last bomb runs managed to disable and cripple my Ursa with the shockwave. I was inside one of the fighterbays at the time (so it's turrets wouldn't attack me) meaning the support ship couldn't get to me for repairs. In the end i had to launch my last few bombs knowing i was not going to survive the explosion.

I also remember in the mission of Inferno R1 where you first meet the Diablo in a node blockade, that ship had an annoying tendency to ram me as it jumped in. Every time i would careen millions of kilometers away from the node (literally it would end up a blip) and then blow up.

[HAZARDLEADER]

In an a mission to blockade a Neo Terran ralling point, I remember attacking a Ntf ship, that was an Aeolus class. I was attacking it with my Cyclops and aparently I was right in the way of a Mjolnir beam, it destroyed my bomb, and then butchered me. 

[Klaustrophobia]

i was trying to reach the third knossos in into the lion's den, when i suddenly just ****ing exploded.  apparently there IS a mission boundary.

Dived, but didn't hit my burners...

I did a barrel roll while diving. It didn't end well.

Had you chosen any other mission you'd have been warned about it too. But on that mission (probably on most of the loop missions in fact) command messages are turned off.

That wouldn't happen on FSO BTW, the boundary is much further out now.

New multiplayer mode idea: Everyone is armed only with 0-damage kinetic weapons, objective is to knock your opponent out of a spherical "arena", they then die and respawn somewhere inside.

And their spawn point is an Orion that they get launched out of at high velocity.

Has to be a way to manually set the mission boundaries then, otherwise the area is way too big.

[MatthTheGeek]

Can kill the players with SEXPs. You never opened FRED or what.

The end result will probably look like some sort of giant cage match in space (or a much bigger version of the Big Core from DE).  The cage itself marks the boundaries clearly, and the gaps between the cage 'bars' should be big enough that fighters are unlikely to get knocked into the cage bars.

[jr2]

Although not showing the cage would make it a bit more interesting.  Have a targetable object in the center, have it put on the escort list so you can conveniently check your distance from it, and go.

+nocollide doesn't work?

there's nothing interesting that far out in any other mission.  maybe the jump node in high noon, but i don't remember how far away it is.  certainly not 150 km, but outside the boundary?

The furthest Sathanas from the player in the penultimate mission is 225km away from the player. Well outside the boundary of FS2 Retail but visitable in Open.

This actually sounds very much the reverse of the King of the Hill mission I made for BtRL. In that mission you had to stay inside the arena for a certain amount of time in order to win.

[bigchunk1]

Ordering allies to cover you (c-3-8) during a mission and after a peroid of non-combat having them move so closely to your ship they collide with you until you die. Group hug!

[Wobble73]

I once launched some powerful, slow moving bombs (I can't recall which they were) at a capship, with some enemies on tail, I launched them and then hit the afterburners to get away from my tail and hit the bombs, exploding immediately! 

[X3N0-Life-Form]

Ooh, I almost forgot: killed by an Eos SSM strike.

[MatthTheGeek]

Similarly, killed by a friendly Supernova from the Temeraire in Forced Entry coop.
