the one where you're supposed to take out the Cobras? Thanx, I shall check it out!
Though I still have no clue what these fighters are, except that you can take them out just like any others.

I only noticed them because one of the other pilots brought it up..."Hey- are those Lokis on the side of the base?!" I think I got 1 or 2 of them, but the rest got vaped by others while I was dodging the ion cannon.

Reaper: $200,000,000.
Rockets: $100,000
The look on that pilot's face when you launch a full pod of screamers up his tailpipe: priceless

I heard that, though I thought he said "bogies" instead of "Lokis". Well, looks like I'll have to go through the mission again to make sure. Will be fun anyway.
Speaking of the cannon, I usually afterburn to it right after jumping and take it out before it hits one of the Pumas. Piece of cake!

It's a Soft Target

- A Top Gun Through and Through -

Uh, does "soft target" mean it's easy to take out or it has another meaning?
Just for the sake of curiosity

The Loki is a short-ranged, limited point defense fighter. With no jumpr-drive capability nor astral navigation systems, the fighter cannot deploy into deep space and is instead consigned to defend close to its ward, be it space stations or a mothership. The swiveling arm is a docking umbilical designed to attach the fighter to the outer hulls of ships, allowing the fighter to be carried without taking up precious space on a hangar deck. Cheap, slow, but agile, the Loki's purely intended for mass-produced defense-- a flying defensive turret, asi it may.

I hate Starlancer.
