Mission 6: Dexter Hovis

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!

Mission 6: Dexter Hovis

I dunno if its just my crap piloting but Im having a hell of a time trying to beat Hovis at his race.

We'd be neck and neck till about half way and then my cruise engines will cut out! Sometimes they do it every few seconds!

Is it just me or has anyoe else had this problem. Im pretty sure I could kick his a$$ if I could just stop stay in cruise!

Please help,
Brett.

I can't count how many times this has been posted...
this is all that has been said about this.

1. don't use a fraighter
2. press shift-w to activate your cruse engines instead of f-2
3. I have no idea why you're haveing trouble with this. (I personally had trouble with this one, i'm just stateing all that has been said)
4. count the rings as you pass through them to find out where you are having the most trouble. abd ajust accordingly
5. ask someone to email you a virus masked to look like a save game file of mission 7.

that's about the short and skinny of it.



If I had a nickel for every time someone told me that my idea of building a giant robotic parrot out of melted down coins was a bad idea, I would have one kick a$$ giant robotic parrot.

I also fail to see how this mission is such a stumbling block....

Hit your cruise engines and aim for the middle of each ring.... then watch out at the end because Dexter "cheats" and some weapon platforms start shooting at you.

Did it first go, it isn't that hard....

O_o

Sorry guys!

I whipped that level the night after I posted this! Probably was my crap piloting though, then again, stayin up till 2am playing it non-stop doesnt help either.

Maybe I should look at putting pure caffeine in an intraveinous rig. Hmmm.
