As it stands the only "Oh Crap" you'll hear is from a tank or dropship when somebody realizes the enemy has an assault forge gun.
First of all this needs reversed. The way it should work is "Oh crap, the enemy called a tank". Instead what you hear now is a gleeful squeal realizing all the WP you're about to make from killing it".
So there needs to be more "Oh crap, the enemy pulled a Mech!"
"Oh crap, there's a DS out there".
"Oh crap 2 jets coming over the hill".
This "oh crap moment" can't really go to when the enemy is using a proto-AR. Since those are a dime a dozen and proliferated massively. Those rare, exciting, frightful moments of knowing a real challenge is coming up that will either turn you great reward or losses is seemingly absent anymore. |

Less about the titan, but definitely "Oh crap, these guys have EVE support. We are ******."
Currently it is: "lol these guys have EVE dudes sitting on their thumbs for a slightly flashier OB that might not be earned anyway! |

Had an "oh crap" moment this weekend. An Assault Dropship attacking an objective, with a Logi DS above it with reps to keep it alive. On top of that, they were sqawning wave after wave of red dots. It was all we could to do kill the red dots - we would chase the DS's off with swarms between infantry waves - only to have them come back with more troops to throw at us. LOVED that fight! |

Hmmm.. if one team could pull an "oh crap" move on another entire team, what would be the limiting factor preventing it from becoming a standard tactic? Today's "oh crap" is tomorrow's "don't queue-up without it". |

I had an "oh crap" moment earlier.
I was holding down an objective with my FG, when I began to run low on ammo. My squad mates were off capturing another point, when an HAV was called in. I began to head over to the closest hive I saw, which was across the road by some tank looking thing. There were 2 reds by it, so I forged them with my last to rounds. I look to the right just before crossing the road to see the HAV topping the hill...

Another one,
Was in a pretty brutal battle so I told my team; "f*ck it im spawning at charlie with my proto heavy"
Spawn in and hear the unmistakeable sound of an OB getting dropped on me.
"oh crap"
Spawn in on same objective again in proto, what do I hear? You guessed it a 2nd OB!

I was running the scram pistol earlier in a basic medium suit. Our team had the enemy team pinned and I flanked around behind them not paying attention to how much ammo I had left. Killed 4 enemies before running out of ammo. Without thinking I ran right through the blob of reds into the direction they all were facing going "oh crap" the whole time only getting clipped a few times before making it to cover.
I think they were too shocked to see a red running through the middle of them to aim correctly. |

Personally I like the "oh crap, someone called an RDV that rammed into my assault dropship killing me instantly!" moments.

"Oh s***"
the opposite happened to me a while ago, last night i think.
i became a heavy just for fun and spawned on an uplink with a scout with shottys waiting.
all i had to do was pull the trigger >:]
my "oh crap" moment is when i was gunning on an ADS, and while we were flying low and fast, i saw swarm launchers...EVERYWHERE.
i started telling the pilot to hit the afterburners in a panic |

Or, "Oh Crap, they planted the charges at C"

or, "Oh crap they have taken control of the skyfire battery"
Interesting Objectives and good game modes are an easy setting for making bad game mechanics decent... |

Been on the opposite side of this one! was able to take out 4 or 5 spawn campers. ...only to limp away with about 100HP, turn the corner to run into a Shotty Scout.

Neither of those are particularly effective limitations, especially at the high end of the game. The number of players with hundreds of millions of ISK and more than 20 million SP is already quite large, and will only increase.
CCP have experience of this over in Eve. Having a Titan dropped on you used to be a true "oh crap" moment. A few years later we have the "Titan blob". |

I was on the shotgun scout side of a similar uplink transaction a few nights ago... I laughed. When a heavy phases into existence and gets the drop on a scout it's an absurd moment. |

As a scout, I don't have that many "Oh CRAP!" moments - I'm usually dead before I even realize I'm in trouble.
When I equip a standard medium suit, I still die, but there's at least a bit of a chase! |

Yeah. The only way I see around this is to raise everyone's HP a little, but that might be equally bad for scouts.
