RIght, your purpose in life is now thus, do a mission against the GMG in Omnicron Beta, with a Stilleto, and survive, and complete the mission (a kill all ships mission )

and provide screenies!!

I went through the storyline in a Patriot once, up until the point where you can get an Anubis, but it took me friggin ages, and repair bills later on weren't worth the missions! But I still did it! Pain in the arse, but oh well!

I've done one of them 245k missions in O*****n G***a for the C******s in a Drake, which was easier than it sounds! Attempted a mission with the Evolutions MOD, where they have top ships, top weapons, and regenning bats and bots, in a Starflier but gave up after several attempts, so I unmodded and tried again!

Now do all that in a Starflier or Patriot, in a 245k mission...or better yet, vs the POST-SP nomads. Now there's some quality entertainment...quite challenging.

Stiletto is relatively easy to use...being a HF, it mounts a fair amount of weapons, but is more maneuverable than...say, the Sabre of the same ship series. It's a lot like flying an Anubis, with one extra weapon/shield class.

Where do you go from here? Starflier? Starflier with one gun? Starflier with one gun and no shields?


Starflier only using hull as weapon

Now that might be pushing it a little...

Dunno about that

Maybe mooding the game to make a ship have 1 hull and use THAT as a weap

Post Wed Jan 07, 2004 1:04 pm

sure, that'll work

Anyway, I switched to a Drake, becasue they said it was the most agile fighter around. Well, they are wrong. it's a good ship, but not the most agile. That's stil the Patriot imo. But the Drake has better stats, so.

But I can kill just as much in a Patriot as I can in Drake. Only those Sabres are a B*tch. I never survive against them. Unless I take a assasinate mission, then I'll get payed, but I have no chance of getting out after that Maybe I'm in better luck with the Drake.

Edit: Damn spelling.

It's the sand in the clock wich stops the time... or was it... D'oh, I need to study harder on this time control thing.

I haven't ever tried to die in a suicide mission, so I dont have any stories to tell. Except for the one I took in Leeds that was a base destroy mission. Got to the base and found 12 weapon platforms and tons of enemies. I can assure you that my Bretonian Heavy fighter didn't last long.

Lol
You know what's fun? Take an assasinate mission. Sometimes they don't say what faction your up against. Kind of a gamble there.

On a modded version of the game, i took a Hornet equipped with lvl 7-8 weaps on a lvl 38 mission against Outcasts in Leeds...wasn't until i got to the mission waypoint i realised there was about 10 of them, all in Sabres, armed with lvl 9-10 weaps...being a modded game, by the time i'd taken the shield down on one, my own were gone too...turn around to aim and see my target's shields go all the way up....an uneasy sinking feeling set in....
Half an hour (SERIOUSLY) later, i had taken down 2 of them, had another down to half hull strength, when another wave of Sabres turned up, scans showed they were armed with lvl 10 Wyrms (nice). Decided to run just as 2 Outcast battleships turned up...failed the mission, but lived, and got a couple of the lvl 10 Wyrms to make me feel better...was the messiest fight i've ever had, even after hitting them with a full strafing run their shields barely moved...gotta love those mods
p.s. if anyone thinks i wimped out, try being hit by 10 lvl 10 weaps at the same time...it hurts!

I managed to kill a transporton Manhatten and get away with it

Post Fri Jan 23, 2004 6:13 pm

My best run was at the beggining, with battleship encounter mod on, taking out the rhienland battle groups, until this huge liberty battlegroup showed up, my lil starflier almost died, but i lucked out, 3 nomad battleships and 10 gunboats showed up, distracted the navy, and killed the navy fighters off, the dreadnaughts lived for a while though, until i cam and killed em!

*Dont forget the bounty hunters suck flames!!

Bounty hunters hunt for money, i hunt for fun O.o

LAZY EYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good job Nickless.

Post Sat Jan 24, 2004 10:38 am

But wait, if your using mods you must have some other good mod that makes you more powerful right? So then it wasn't really a big deal what you did, unless your not using that tpe of mod.
