Imagine it, you're in a 1000-player-per-instance battle of a lifetime. Maybe fighting against some epic stand in for the death-star with fellow humans fighting for your cause.
It's everything you imagined since watching starwars as a "wide eyed eight year old"
Your fellow pilots fight valiantly, however eventually you are the last one left. However you've made it to the final cliche' "weak point" in the enemy's ship. Fire off a few misiles and we can all go home. The face of your friends appear on your 'in HUD' face tracking screen.
"It's up to you kid, let's blow this thing so we can all go home!"
Your hands tremble on the fire control before... you die of hunger or thirst.
