i''m just gonna dump ALL my questions now...

1/ why dont the missiles affect me, except the whatisname - 'emits a shock wave temporaily disabling the ship's electronics' i dont get effected no matter what kinda ship i use.
2/what do u normally go out to missions with?? - i go with a full load of fuel pods and nothing else. i take agility and speed above all else, but of course, u need a decent armament of lasers or gattling cannons to start with. just the hard points.
3/ whats ur fav. missile/pod
mine's screamer, fuel pod, hawk pod, vagabond, and last but not least, the trusty jackhammer
4/ how long have u guys been in this forum and what nation do u guys come from ?? - i'm not disclosing this.
5/ how many of u got the 5 medals ? or can u get all six ?? if u did, tell me which medals u got in which level - pls
6/ why did the thing have to delete me entire post thing when i put in my wrong password ?? ;S it was sooo long - and it had to go.

sorry if this one was a tad too long, but i just wanted to know, after hte long hours of searching, i come across this site, and just bcoz i wanted to know more, i'm not waiting no more. so pls, tell me all u know, and i'll tell u all i know.

1. Try on harder level? yes, the missiles in SL is kinda wimpy.
2. Coyote. Use it whenever possible. Best hardpoints in the game for an agile fighter. Shroud is 2nd fav. Patriot is 3rd. I hate Phoenix, and I avoid the rest.
3. Solomon. I'm renaming it to "Torp-Killer"
4. I'm Indonesian, but I'm currently studying and residing in the Netherlands. You can find info on other members by clicking "Profile" on top of their posts.
5. The memory is not so vivid anymore. Check this for the detailed info on when and where and how to get specific medals and ribbons. No, you can't have a full box of medals at the end of the campaign. You'll be missing at least one.
6. The "thing" didn't do anything. Just click the back button and re-enter your correct password.

Now your turn! answer your own questions. welcome to the forums.

1. I don't even use my counter-measures They just miss me everytime. Theyare kinda wimpy but it wouldn't be that much fun a wing of Basalisks jump in and all shoot several vagabonds up your behind
2. Patriot. Mainly because of blind-fire and the hardpoints. Although the Shroud is a nice one to. I usually take 1 or 2 fuelpods with me, along with 2 packs of Screamers (great for Kurgen's and other stationary stuff) and some fast locking missiles.
3. Screamer/Solomon.
4. Joined in 2000. I live in the Netherlands, near the capital. (Amsterdam)
5. I got them all I believe. (Not sure though)
6. Same what FF said


"God bless this acid house!"
"I was near the scene of another crime at the time, officer."

1. same here. only that one kind of missile affects me.

2. A balance of 2:1 screamers to fuel pods. On jackhammer missions, always 2-3 jackhammers.

3. Screamers, jackhammers, and fuel pods.

4. I just recently got here, in january. I'm in central NJ, in the good 'ol USA.

Reaper: $200,000,000.
Rockets: $100,000
The look on that pilot's face when you launch a full pod of screamers up his tailpipe: priceless

1.Yep. Seems to be russian stuff...just doesnt work properly...

2.The Phoenix as soon as it can be taken, befor that the Patriot/Mirage/Naginata. Mixed loadout Fuelpods/Scremers/guided missile pods.

3. Screamers! Nothing goes over a salvo in an important part of the enemy flagship.

4. just now. Germany, Rostock.

5. Don't know 5 at least, the only thing I hardly ever managed was blowing up the czar...until I understood that there is only ONE energy core...

1. The only missile that annoys me is the havoc (makes you seasick!!). Torps do aswell, they sometimes make me jump about 200 ft straight up and then spread myself over a wide area
(I try hard not to fly into them of course).
2. Fav. ship to start with is the Grendel, lots of hardpoints and the guns are sweet
Reaper is next, same reason only more evil
Shroud for the final level......or if I fancy flying upto see the whites of their eyes!!
Patriot if I'm having a bad torp day
Don't use fuel pods.......missiles are way more satisfying
3. Load outs: Jackhammer for those jackhammer moments
Screamer for dealing out severe pain.
Later missions Solomon (As FF said, it's the "Torp Killer" and Raptor (Fun to watch!)
4. Been reading for awhile, joined this yr. England, Cambridge, Saffron Walden.
5. Got the 5 not sure about 6 - never really checked.
6. As FF said.
