Humpback Challenge
I just wanted to share a little bit of my current Freelancer project, playing the campaign in a Humpback.
By far the most difficult mission is the Hovis race. At first I thought it was impossible, but after a *lot* of practice and a *lot* of frustration, I finally got the hang of it, as you can see:
It is by far the most difficult challenge in the game, and obviously the game wasn't designed for it to be even possible. Even now that I have beat Hovis a few times (4 to be precise), the race is still really, really frustrating: although certainly you have to fly flawlessly, even then your success is mostly determined by luck.
While I wouldn't recommend this challenge for fun and enjoyment, I thought I might mention for the sake of trivia that it is indeed possible to beat Hovis (and the game) in a Humpback.
I might write a little mini-walkthrough for the occasion. Stay tuned!
