Warning lights???

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!

What is this level 2 and under day? That IS the missle lock indicator. Meaning YOUVE BEEN PAINTED! When you see that reticle you better launch a countermesure or run behind an object and dive or you WILL be hit by a missle. And like the other guy said about the network signs are for lag. Tolerable and serious. And then the Radiation. But thats all I have ever seen. Do you guys play with no sound? You never hear "incomming missle" then you see the reticle you were talking about. And it blinks fasterand faster as you hear the beep beep beep getting faster? Hmm pretty much commen scence I would hope.

Literacy is a great thing, give it a try.

you know VitaMinM203 if you take the time to READ THE ENTIRE POST you might avoid makeing yourself look like an idiot. but to make it easy on you, the missle lock is on the right side, what we are talking about is on the left.

It's not level 2 and under day, but I think it may be grade 2 and under day... LOL, I love forums because there's always one post in every thread from someone who just doesn't know what's going on

And it's only been me a couple times

not trying to beat a dead horse VitaMinM203, but if you read the FIRST SENTENCE of the origanal post...

Anyway to get back to the subject, it looks like we are stumped here. I was thinking about Ranpostgen's theroy about it being an unfinished feature and I was buying that for a couple of days but... If it is an unfinished feature then what it triggering the warning light??? and why is it consistantly flashing on the same missions??? it has to meen somthing, we need some good editers to see if they can find out whats triggering this responce and we might figure it out.

Another thing, in both missions that i've seen this I WAS in some kind of asteroid/trash field but If it was just that then I should see it more often. I even went back to the same sopt that I saw it before but nothing... This is really starting to bother me... Quite puzzleing

I wasnt talking about the screen shot I was talking about the signle in the right side! Iv never seen that screen shot reticle in my life. YOU guys need to think thrice before you dog me! lol

o.k. to avoid turining this thread into a flame war I will say that I might of misunderstood what you ment. Even so, I still don't know what you where talking about in your last post. No one in this thread ever, for one second, had any missunderstanding reguarding what the misstle lock light ment. That was stated in the first sentence of the origanal post. So I'm alittle confused on what you where talking about in your last post. But, I just might not be reading your post right, so if I ofended you, I apologize.

I was fooling around with the later missions in SP and I think it might be a different type of missle lock. Like instead of the basic missiles that have nothing for homing (i.e. the slingsh*t, er shot series) the left hand represents the "stalker" class series missle locking onto you. *shrug* that's all I've got...

I got the signal flashing for about a second today in MP. I was just finishing a BH mission to kill a Hessian's ship and bring back the escape pod. As I was leaving the battle with the pod, the light flashed like twice, then quit. I have no clue as to what it meant, but hopefully this will help someone else figure it out

Post Sat Apr 12, 2003 6:47 am

Wow, now in MP. Were you being attacked? What kind of area where you flying in???

I was doint a BH mission out of Freeport 5 (I think), but wherever it was, it was in a debris/asteroid field. I had destroyed the target ship and tractored in the escape pod, and had just started afterburn/engine killing to get out of there. The warning flashed at pretty much the instant I started to flee the battle, then quit.

Fasinating, so far it seems that it only happens in dibris fields... but if it were that simple, then it would happen all the time... so I guess this opens up some new questions...

Post Sat Apr 12, 2003 7:25 am

Yeah, after it happened I alt-tabbed and checked the forum right away to see if it helped me figure it out, but it didn't I was hoping to have the privilege of discovering its purpose. Oh, well.

When I got it I heard the nav comp (or whatever the womans voice is) say somethng like "enemy tracking/tailing" when i looked behind there was a GMG falcon right on my six. I think it means that it's a perfect time to let go a ripper mine ;-). byebye another falcon. I wasnt in a debris field at the time, just came out of the trade lane at the helgoland end of the 'gas miner naha - helgoland station' trade lane. if im wrong, i hope this info helps.
