Killed when skirting and bumping an asteroid that showed up as hostile for some reason (never did figure out how that happened, and then all was well the next time I tested it, though the hostile asteroid was the butt of many jokes afterward).

Re: Most embarrassing ways to die
unless you're talking about silent threat, i don't recall any of those.
It was from FS1. Something about a science outpost and a Vasudan destroyer as a relief source. Never could figure out what went wrong, then again I was about 11 at the time. Might have done something else to mess it up.

at mission start the lucifer is in the house blasting an Arcadia, the player was to protect, the mission objectives change to protect an science cruiser acting as a comm relay until the PVD Hope who was also already in mission can pull close enough to directly protect it.

Re: Most embarrassing ways to die
Yup that's the one. Every time I played it the Hope would move into position. Command would even say that I could return to base, but the desertion screen would always pop up. I didn't finish the FS1 campaign until I got a chance to try it on another computer.

I wonder if this was a Retail bug addressed in the 1.06 patch?

That's probably it. I didn't know what updates were in grade school.

And come to think of it... I was 9 years old too when I first found this bug. :drevil:

Well you could alternatively go left, right, or up... so long as your attitude angles are roughly 90 degrees to the Rakshasa's egress vector. :P

Re: Most embarrassing ways to die
this is one of those situations where thinking correctly is wrong.

theres no way to "dive" in space (going down related to what ? the screen ?).

Well i know the answer is to dive literally but i wasnt expecting this in a space sim (i was thinking too much "correctly" to be correct).

And the answer then was found : dive, literally, and press afterburner...

 
Re: Most embarrassing ways to die
You know that the explosion create a blast of 10km... and you look the explosion at a distance of 9km and think "What should happen? I have full hull integrity and shields"...

Happened to me yesterday in the last mission of "Beyond the Cause"... and the mission takes thirty minutes...

Re: Most embarrassing ways to die
Accidentally squished between the Taranis and the docking Halkins. :(

You, sir, win this thread in my book :D

Done that. Thought it woult be fun to see if my ship would fit. It does by the way, but you only have a few inches of breathing room on either side. Proceded to match speed  (manually... assisted match speed is unreliable in 'confined' spaces) and fly between them about 1/4 of the way, then said "screw this" and spent the next 2 mins trying to get out. I ended the mission with 2% hull.  :lol:

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

I climbed

I always go left.

By going down. DUH.

Na, only need like 45* angles for left. You should be able to keep the Sath more or less on-screen during the pass. It's why I go that way to begin with.

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

He's right. The request is rather easily done in fact. Use a Jump Node to show the "border".


Getting killed by my own tempests while gunning down another fighter in multi from about 5-10m off their tail... If you are close enough, they will burn through your shields, and even your hull, while you're focused on the kill.  :p

Re: Most embarrassing ways to die
In the scouting mission in FS2, I tried to switch back to single fire mode, but I guess I pressed a wrong key and found out that I could fly super fast! I was so excited that I flew around the area a bit then got clobbered by the Sathanas warping out. That's how I found out about time compression...
