busted one too many times and dunno why. . .

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!

busted one too many times and dunno why. . .

i'm playing the mission where u get the tome but then get smoked, ur supposed to fly to Tekaki's arch and dock and get the tome and kill tekaki, but u get trapped inside and Ozu dies, and Lord hakkera saves u. I played it once b4, this is my second time round, the first time, i had no problems whatsoever, did it in one go, but this time, i'm having trouble with both the incoming patrol AND blowing up the generators bit. i'm flying a Defender (heavy fighter) with like 3 or 4 class 4 guns and one drail i think, and one javelin pod with and one starkiller torp launcher, all of them decked out. when i approach the arch, i move in. they fire cruise distruptors, i get pissed. i go in with after burners. i start on the gen. nearest to the huge cruiser thing. i take that out, then move to the other side where fire is lighter. i take that out, then move to the other one near the cruiser. until now, i'm only using torps and a little bit of guns, as to avoid the crossfire. on the third one, one of the dragon fighters goes 'we don't have enough time'. when he gets up to the 'enough' bit, my ship just blows, for no particular reason i'm aware of. i didn't run into any torps i fired, and i had full armour and my wings intact and about 4/5 shields full. my shield is um 1847 HP i think, and defender armour is . . .i didn't bother checking that .. . 1600 i think.
well, it'd be nice if u guys could tell me where i'm going wrong now. . . kinda embarassing since i already donnit. . .

presently, my world is upside down, so if u do not mind, u'll have to tok to my a$$

I'm not sure, but if your ship just blows up at the same time every time, it sounds like a bug. I also think you should probably upgrade from that Defender to one of the other ships available. The Defender is a very weak ship at that point in the game.

Even though the defender is fairly weak at that point, with that much shield remaining you should see something happening. But if the explosion is happening at the same point every time, then would think you have acquired a very strange bug. Kill the cruiser first, then the rest of the mission is pure cake

YES!!! I GOTTIT !! well, i did it, but didn't come out unscathed. heres my damage status by the time i engaged the wing of gunboats that juni was met with: Wingless, turret-less, nanobot-less, shield battery-less, down to just 2 GUNS . . . and, 5 torps, 25 javelins. it seems that every torp i fire, it cuts down 2 on the stock number. . . i limped (more like crawled) all the way to the wattis name . . . forgot . .. trauma was too much . . . well, i made it out. i had to buy guns again . . . a very needed experience. try my ODDS people !! wingless and shield battery&nanobot - less . . . and only 2 friggin class-3 guns !! + some missiles.

presently, my world is upside down, so if u do not mind, u'll have to tok to my a$$
