Jesus, how can I forget that.
One more occasion I have to add: The last mission, where you need to pretect a fleet mixed military/civilian ships to the jump node before the GTVA could seal it up. The fight was long and difficult. Every few minutes a new fleet of shivan capital ships would jump in on you. Then 15min into that mission, you are suppose to be 2 clicks away from the jump node (if you havnt read the storyline), then suddenly you superior briefs you on the intercom "This star has just turned supernova, you have 1 minute to get out of there" Suddenly everything ties in, how the ancients where destroyed, and why where you fighting shivans in the gas field. However after realizing all that, you make a run for it. Diverting all power into the engieen and hitting the afterburner. Time was counting down, and you are getting closer than ever. Then right before you could get to the node. Time counts down to 0, the cut sceen sets in. Awesome, awesome stuff.
