Judging by his sign-in name I'd say he's Korean. (I'm pretty sure because 98% of my school is Korean)

I come from Hong Kong.

That would have been my second guess... But I am not very familiar with Chinese names that aren't Mandarin (cantonese or other dialects), and your sign in sounds a lot like Korean.
Things starting to open up again down there? A lot of stuff has just started closing up here in Tianjin. (I'm not Chinese, I'm American, my father works for Motorola here)

Defender blow rhino? That sounds SOOOOO wrong on so many levels.

Seriously tho... If you do a scan on those ships, you will notice that the defenders are sporting weapons that are COMPLETELY inappropriate for their level. They have lev.7 missiles. (each fired 6, 3 defenders,.... OVERKILL?)

Yogimus,

Each of the three defenders actually fire 9 missiles, not 6.

I know, because I have been watching this cut scene over and over in my attempt to blow up the three defenders with a Rhino.

If only there was a way of skipping those cut scenes when replaying a mission.

Seeing that the Defenders were cheating anyway, why not tweak the loadout of the Rhino a bit? Adv. Champion shield, plenty of armour, plus Nomad weapons. I wonder what would happen ...

I agree that there should be a way of skipping the cutscenes and mandatory NPC speeches, at least after the first time through. The game could easily track this, just throwing a global flag after you beat the campaign for the first time should do the trick.

He's talking about when you are supposed to meet Juni on Planet California Minor in the CA System, and when you come out of the NY -> California JumpGate you see that Rhino with the pilot who was on Freeport 7 and asks you to meet him on Planet Los Angeles then tries to run from the Liberty Navy Patrol and gets blowed to s**t by the Defenders missiles.

Sherlog,

I didn't have to cheat to beat the 3 defenders with a Rhino. After a good night's sleep I took them out in the first try.

BTW, Unpro was right. It really is a nice turret.

Gnavpot, I meant toughing up the AI-controlled Rhino. Just to see what happens.

Sherlog, I see your point. That scene is allready a bit corrupted, since he screams _after_ his ship explodes. So I guess we could hear him scream in an unharmed ship, if we toughened his ship.

Learn to Z-Fight Fight {Manever with engines killed and thrust only} and those Defenders are crispy critters.

Gnavpot, you mean like Tobias talking about attacking a cruiser that is only so much space dust already?

BTW, I think those Defenders were set up to be killed. They have larger than normal amounts of missiles in their holds but they do not use them.

I tried killing those Defenders during my first go through SP and they said something about my last mistake and wasted me with those nasty missiles (18 in all at the same time I think...)

I'm mucho better now...
