1st Lieutenant
So I'm playing Wing Commander 1; finished the main campaign, and I'm on Secret Missions 1, Mission 9. It's a bear of a mission. My wingman (Spirit) died, so I decided to eject to get to a replay quicker. It started the funeral cutscene (attending), so I decided to watch since I hadn't seen Spirit's before...and hilariously, it went through I think every single wingman. Only Spirit was dead on the board afterwards, so I think this is just a bug, but it was pretty funny.
*SPOILER* This is the Exeter escort mission that turns into the Gwenhyver ambush. It's repeatable when A) Spirit dies [even if you kill her yourself] and B) You eject. I don't know if the particular savegame used matters...ie., I don't know if ANYONE's SM1 #9 savegame would do this, or if it just happens to be some combination of how things have been saved through my personal campaign. I've since determined no matter what happens, Spirit is killed in the mission (even if I land with her by my side), so I think this is related to the well-known KIA overflow bug, though I haven't seen any other mention of this specific part of the bug (though I'd be very surprised if I'm the first to discover it; if so, cool tho').
Video here: youtube.com/watch?v=32c2fNgx7as (I'm keyboarding through so it doesn't take quite as long as it would if I just hadn't). Pretty frakkin' funny - certainly a bad day for Mr. Blair. ^.^
