Mission to destroy the arch Protious Scroll

Tue Mar 04, 2003 4:26 am by thehugg

Now any game should have rules. What happens when suddenly it takes 6-10 shield batteries to restore your shields when it should take only one? Not a very good situation! Is it just a glitch in the demo disk I’m using or is it a bug in the game. You engage many fighters… even survive but at vastly unfair odds. Namely, Nanobots and Shield batteries vanish when you restore your shield. Even using tractor to snag 3 or 4 doesn’t do it when your entire supply of batteries (26 in this ship) are used in about three restore shield clicks. Same thing happens in the second half of the mission if you survive the first. Your flying to ‘The Arch’ …. Won’t spoil it for you beyond that.
Any ideas or thoughts?

becuase it depends on ur sheilds and batteries the better the sheilds the more power it takes to feed em.

Yah, I beat the game rather well without the frustration of having too little nanobots/batteries.

If you're having problems dogfighting all those fighters, well... don't fight them

Fly to the arch take out the generators and dock. Forget about the fighters.

ownage is such a capitalistic term.

It's not a glitch. If you have an electronic device that's 3V and one that's 9V it SHOULD take 3 times the batteries...right? (not a perfect analogy, but close enough).

As mentioned above, don't fight the fighters. Fly straight to the top of the arch and get as close as possible to the Shield Generators an blast away. If you are very close to the structure, the enemy ships have big problems shooting you, move side to side a bit and you should be able to finish off the 3 Shield Generators and dock with the top of the arch with more than half of you bats left.

It take ONLY 6 - 10 and your complaining? Wait till you get a class 10 sheild. Thats an energy sucker.

I used to hate weddings; all the Grandmas would poke me and say, "You're next sonny!" They stopped doing that when i started to do it to them at funerals.
