Reinforcements

Is it just me or is it that when the Mission Command say they are sending in reforcements,they never come. That left me in my starflier (i'm still a newb here!) against 8 Rogues. I managed to blast them apart but was it meant to be this hard?

Rogues: I have the enemy in my scopes, i'm locking on
Me: God, i'm in a starflier and you still can't shoot, go back to boot camp and learn there.

usually you get help if the mission says that
but not always though it is pretty rare for this to occur

I've lost count of the times i have taken the enemy down to 1 ship left, and then the "cavalry" arrives.

I dont mind tho, the more i kill, the more loot i get

Just my $0.02, but it could just be the cardamine talking.
Violence isn't my only option. Its just what I do best.

Reinforcements usually arrive with the third wave of enemies.

Post Fri Aug 29, 2003 4:58 pm

A few times they haven't arrived for me at all. But if you don't have "show all" clicked, you might not know that they have arrived. Generally, the reinforcements are a lot of hopeless ****ers, for all the good they do. If they do any good, it's just to keep the baddies from shooting at you so much.

Oh yes Mr Trent, well send an entire two wings to help!
Later in combat "Okay outnumbered 12-1 were are those reinforcements!" Eleven kills later "Hey weve arrived..., oh well it looks like youve done all the hard work so Ill go home and get paid...."
YOU Ugly sonofa*****! Come backhere! BOOOOM! USLESS PEICE OF CRAP GAME! DIE DIE DIE

Normal night in with killzone then....

Me:Ok One last chance to surrender!
Enemy:WHAT! We outnumber you 6 to 1!
Me: Maybe I could drop some weapons to make it easier for you!

The best way to make sure there are re-enforcements coming is to make sure the mission breifing says "We have sent some ships to prepare for your arrival" or something like that. Usually I only take those missions because your allies have already softened them up!

who needs reinforcements? I enjoy taking on 3 waves of BHG or GMG by myself, and coming out on top, nice fat 300K reward thank you very much. Then I'll go looking for some random killing on the way back.

You phsyco! Mad killing machine coming through! Stay away from that man! I try to kill as little people as possible, after all, it is other human being's you're destroying... or have I played this too long?

The reinforcements are generally irrelevant, as fer as I'm concerned... I take whichever mission's paying the most, do it, and hope that any "help" they might send won't interfere too badly.

That is a very cynical comment Larry, as a great rapper (Uzi MC) once said: "You gotta kill people... er... to get respect... er... but, ya can't kill everyone, cos then... er... then you got no-one to respect ya..."

No-one could have said it better!

Once I got a reinforcement of 18 Stillettos. The Bundschuh are generous with their ships.
And about the original post of facing 8 rogues in a starflier and their not hitting you. The starflier has little power, but it is one of the hardest ships to hit in the game if not the hardest, it doesn't mean they have bad aim if you fly well. And of course their ships, bloodhounds, fly like bathtubs.
