Battleships

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

Battleships

I'm finished the game and i'm like wondering around the systems looking for shipwrecks. But I'd like something challenging. Are there any battleships to fight with. If there are i'd like to know.
Tnx.

Nope. The only ones are the indestructible ones you dock with.

In extreme border areas (omicrons) you can find some really tough missions, I hear.

Ok good to know. I am having one small issue with the indestructability of the Battleships. Hit F8. See your little 'stat card'? Why are battleships listed under your kills? Leaves one wondering...

Stop before you reply. The truth hurts, chances are if you hated what I said I was right

Only have one battle ship kill on my stat card from sp. Not sure what you can get max, think is 2-3, have heard nomad battleships don't count. But after sp all battleships are bases and while you can knock off turrets, you cannot kill them.

I killed 4 battleships during the sp. Maybe some people didn't kill the battleships in the mission where you had to go through a mine/radiation field and then go destroy Nomad battleships before they were completed. In that mission I first killed all the enemy battleships and fighters and then concentrated on the Nomad battleships.

edit: In sp you also destroyed battleships with a group of ships. So who fires the last shot at it before it blows, gets the kill.

in singleplayer missions there are 5 or 6 battleships to kill. I did 5 of them but only have 4 listed as kills (maybe someone else did the last shot on one of the battleships). But in that one mission where you fly through rheinland space (one of the later missions) there are about 10 or 20 Battleships that do have an energy bar. But as they are shown as neutral I wonder if it is possible to kill them in-mission (guess not though). And if you can't I wonder if it is possible to fly there (and if they are there then) and kill them.

i only got 2 maybe thats becoz im always a chicken when it comes to battleship fighting

or maybe it becoz once i hit the required NW i immediately jump into the next mission...

Well I destroyed 4 battleships. They werent really difficult to destroy because the game reads the cruisers as battleships too. So I must have destroyed at least 4 cruisers plus the nomad battleships at least 3 of them. Nomad battleships aren't shown in the stats screen.

The one thing I hated was that the game was too easy and too short. I want something more challenging like I-War 2 was. That game is the best Space sim ever. That and Freespace 2.

I'm sill looking for some one to do a mod where you can kill battleships. The mod should also include the ability to fly those friggin' huge transports... the ones that carry 800,000 or so of something.

OK I found out something. Something to make the battleships destroyable.

If you can understand what it says then you are in luck. If you don't then ... well atleast try to understand.

Replayed sp and also got 4 battleship kills, interestingly enough one was actually a heavy cruiser in liberty, early in the game. But it chalked it up as a battleship kill. If the heavy cruisers also count, this would raise the total number up a bit.

I got about 4 but it only registered 1 like at that nomad experimental facility, i destroyed the two non-nomad 1s which shud count and then another 1 where it says the rhineland fleeet is amassing but it still only registers 1, the best place to attack a bettleship is at the back where the lasers cant get u and neither can the fighters if its a rhineland battleship cause there is 1 spot at either side where u can hide and just fire

Post Tue Mar 25, 2003 10:21 pm

As the link above just read the editing Forum for the battleships and trade transports because some people have spent the time to put these into the game, i uese them they are brillliant, use them, cant really fight other battleships on tehm yet but if you just wait then u mite be in luck

Thanks
