In Starlancer, I remember there's one mission in which a Coalition squadron commander jumps in with his flight of fighters on an attack on your home carrier. Normally, you can blast these boys away and strike them off the 'Wanted List', so to speak, but you have to be quick about it because the leaders start up their hyperjump engines the moment you hit them with the first shot.
This particular squad leader's ship, however, is rendered invincible in the mission script. No matter how much firepower you lay down on him, you'll never get the kill. The kicker is, in the post-mission debrief, your squad commander chastises you for allowing the guy to escape.
Starlancer as a whole was "cheap", though, and is a good source of frustration and ludicrosity.

Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
