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!

Anybody find it odd that derelict fighters from a war 80 years ago happen to mount weaponry more advanced than anything currently used by the House militaries?

It was a war that LASTED for 80 years, and yeah they where proto-types. Funny though that Rhineland has all those fighters with hyper advanced weaponary and still lost to the GMG.

and must lend money from liberty...

ever wonder y there so less rheinland cops and navy?? they still have no money up to day , they spend it on hire bounty hunters to do their job

that's why also sind food is in rheinland... but y sind food is also in kusari i don't know and not find out jet...

gmg have powerfull weaponry , that's how they wrecked rheinland fighters (and i heard there must be also a cruiser/battleship wreck in sigma-13)

gmg where the first people who landed on honsu

Could you explain what happened in The War of 80 years ?
Because we heard about that in the game but we just know that Rheinland fought against the GMG.. But why ???

Somebody once suggested that FL got old school and an expansion pack concerning the 80 years war should be released. Thinking about it, that would be cool!

Far as what ive been able to piece together, the war lasted 80 years, and was about control of the rich gas clouds, cuminating with the GMG luring a large rheinland fleet into the gascloud. The rheinland fleet was obliterated, they were forced to surrender, the chancellors head rolled and the rheinland military has been broken ever since with 'officially' only 1 battleship in existance.

if they go old school to the 80 years of war would be very cool

shooting the rheinland to hell

is there also a cruiser wreck in sigma-13 (i don't know... but maybe u know...)
if some1 founded the location, i would go toe the wreck (i don't care if it's empty or not... i would only look the wreck)

i found some shipwrecks in the gas-cloud in sector c3, look there, and look out for patrols in the cloud

The reason why the GMG won is simple:

1. familiarity with region

2. Superior ships(They fly up to Eagles, and the Rheinland fleet only has Valkeries...even though the Banshees couldv'e done a bit of damage, the capships are crap in FL)

3. Superior weaponry. It doesn't take rocket science, the drelict Rheinland fighters couldn't have mounted those class 10 guns unless they cheated.

yes, that's right, but the most CODENAME-weapons where on rheinland fighters, so they must cheat

1 of the best (diamondback) class 10 artifact weapons r there also...
by artifact weapons rn't nomad weapons

do u know if there is also a cruiser/battleship wreck in sigma-13???

NukeIt, take ripper homing mines, they do the most damage of all mines

I always use rippers, as soon as I can get access to them. Best weapon ever for causing a tiny little low-level Patriot LF beat the living crud out of Class 10's.

Everyone knows NPC's employ "selective lag"...a little phenomenon in every game. You line up a shot...depress the trigger...and smash your head into your monitor as all 4 shots go straight past a stationary enemy.

Wait...THAT's how the GMG won!Those little gas clouds all over the place LAGGED their enemies to death!

My theory is the gmg used to have a far bigger fleet but hav eyou noticed if you go along one of there patrol route's you will hear many gmg pilot's crashing to there death.
