No credit for destroying Battleships in SP?

I guess you don't get credit for destroying battleships, or gunships, in Single Player?

Even after I destroyed them, it still shows no kills for battleships on my player status screen. Killing those massive things seems completely unrealistic by the way.

Then you didn't destroy them. I had the same thing happen when your zillion wingmen are wailing on the ship at the same time... someone gets the kill, sometimes it's not you.

I'm trying to figure out why they dont have any shielding.. only hull armor ratings ( no blue line, only a red one ). The builders should be shot for not incorporating a shield generator on those things :-)

Similar to Freespace, I think... The shield generators were only practical for smaller ships.

Then again, with the size of capital ships in FS, it's easy to see why.

ROFL Coalfax!! hahaha. yeah, if those builders want a day off from work, they should make sure they build half-decent ships that will last long enough for them to take a day or two off at some nice resort...in space...Just doesnt make sense them builders...

have one confiremd battleship kill

Okay, so you think that someone else got the killing shot in? Do you say this because you have actually recorded a kill of a battleship in Single Player? Or are you just assuming?

It seemed like I got the killing blow in, but if you have definately recorded a battleship kill in Single Player, I must not have.

And I'm almost positive I was responsible for Gunship kills, but now that I think about it, I don't think there is a recorded category for gunship kills, is there?

It would be a shame to have a battleship kill stolen just because you didn't fire the killing shot. In Freespace, so long as you were the one who had inflicted the most damage, it didn't matter who landed the killing blow - you still got the kill.

Maybe that is it then. Maybe I did have the final killing blow, but not the largest amount of damage to the battleship. Maybe the NPC's put in more damaage and I just finished it off?

I think the gunships get listed under the "transports" catagory. I haven't been much into pirating this run though SP, and I killed my first gunship before any transport, and the game listed a kill there.

I don't know how it calculates battleship ( capital ship ) kills actually.

In my little ambush, I took out the smaller gunboats and let the wingmn fly around having fun. I maybe shot at the battleship 10-15 times directly on a straife run. None of my shots were the killing blow, but I have a 1 for battleship kills.

Anyone notice that that battleship shoots a HECK of alot more often when that mission takes place than 'station' battleships do a jumpoints? Lazy naval officers.

Battleships count as battleships and cruisers, transports are trains etc, i think gunboats fall under fighters.

You can kill the battleships that are guarding some of the navpoints? IE. Around Norfolk?
