One time I was fighting this Shivan... think it was a Mara, though it might well have been something faster. Anyway- it's running circles around me, and meanwhile his buddy is somewhere else taking potshots at the stupid old Herc... and every few minutes the one I'm chasing gets far enough that he turns around and shoots me. I finally jerked in the right direction just in time, for a second got a lock on him with doublefire Harpoons, blasted his irritating ***  to the place where dead Shivans go... and I scream at the ship spinning out of control in the middle of "work". got in deep, deep ****  that day.

And although this didn't happen to me, it's funny: I was introducing a friend of mine to the game, and he gets killed by a drone. I should have seen it coming there, but for some reason we managed to get all the way to "Lion at the Gate", whereupon he rammed into the Rakshasa and unloaded his Harps at 2 meters. Until that point I wasn't aware there was a message saying "____ was killed by your own missiles"

I thought I could withstand the shockwave from an exploding Sathanas.

I was wrong.

I set the skill level to the hardest possible and went up against the GTVA Colossus in a GTF Perseus.    That was definitely fun.

Heh, this is a cool topic.  

The latest stupid thing I've done in FS was probably... flying an Ursa.

Oh, and an old story I forgot completely about: For the PA campaign, I was designing a blockade-runner mission. I'd never seen a mission where Alastors did anything but blow up, so I put the maximum number possible in a wide semicircle around a jump node, threw in a beam-freed Aeolus, and for a kicker put an Orion in the node launching multiple fighter wings (I think more than would fit in 12 Orions, in fact). On the player side, I made 3 wings- one of them with only 3 fighters all with only the basic AI. Then, I tested it...

I'm gonna find out if they used it today. If they didn't, I probably lost it anyway (ASK ME ABOUT THE GREAT HARDDRIVE FAILURE OF '01  ). I'll look, if it's OK with them. And since they're probably releasing soon anyway, just keep an eye out: It's the one in the first few missions where you die instantly due to an accumulated 300 laser bursts.

Hmmm... sounds like a nice long campaign.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
