R.I.P Alpha 1

Admiral Petrarch said "observers saw Alpha 1 remaining behind so that others may reach the vega system. Hey! I was hitting my burners trying to get out of there.

THis was my first space game I had years ago. I was too one of the alpha one people who got the warning at the last min and was too far out trying to get to the jump node hitting your after burners like hell thinking...OMFG OMFG OMFG go go go go...i was a min or two late before the super nova owned my ass..no game got my heart pumping like that game did all those years ago. Good memories

@KriegerAurelius rofl, my ship had already entered the subspace portal fully and the portal was closing behind it when the supernova hit. I still got this ending. XP

I've always been grateful to them for this ending. It's what I (and I think everyone) got the first time 'round.
It was a great in-universe send-off for us. Not like Admiral Petrach would say "we lost the Colossus and most of our fleet... but I'd like to ignore those hundreds of thousands of deaths for a moment, to talk about a fighter pilot".
It was a believable way of making us a hero. Of making our death brave and tragic at the same time. "Because of this sacrifice... our people are safe."

Always preferred this one as the "true" ending to FS2. It's almost impossible to get back to the node if you didn't know about the nova anyway. Also, your predecessor from FS1 took down the Lucifer and stranded himself in Sol forever, saving all of human civilization. The least you can do is get another shipful of civilians to the Vega node.

@adamant356 i prefer going down in a blaze of glory... fighting agianst the shivans til the nova hit..
-
I stayed behind every single time. To forfeit your life for the sake of others is always the best ending - I wouldn't have it any other way.
-
To the officers and the crew of the GTD Aquitane: Y U NO stay and fight until death?
Stayed behind so that others could reach the node? I was screaming and mashing my jump button while boosting towards that bloody node damn it!
