final mission :<

Hiya

I bought this game recently from ebay for myself and my nephew to play and its ben fun. As big wing commander fans we liked a lot about the game.

But we cant do the final mission and its just fustration now, after 30-40 tries we just wanna get it done and start on freespace 1 and 2.

We are following the guide, cloaking and uncloaking to do the turrets then cloaking and that bit goes fine. Then when the rippers come in 50% of the time the second we lock onto a ship the cannon gets us BEFORE moose warns us, often his warning comes thru as we r shown the death cam view!.

The other half of the time the rippers drop like lemmings, we have managed to get enough charges dropped 1 time in around 30 attempts (and stupidlygot caught in the core blast.)

Can anyone offer any tips on how to do this last mission? we usually load up with solomons and hawks, trying to fill the air around the rippers with missiles.
Finally, we dont like cheating, but its so fustrating that any way to increase the hardpoints or anything on the shroud would be great. Also will spectral shields protect against the ion cannon?

Thanks

Welcome!

Spectral shields does not work against the ion cannon.

You're doing it almost right: but take fuel pods instead of missiles. It is frustrating, but usually people get it right after 10 tries. You said you're playing it with your nephew (say hi for the boy). Do you mean on one computer (by taking turns), or in multiplayer co-op? Try multi co-op if you haven't. If that is not possible, try posting on the discussion forums and ask for help for someone to play co-op with you. Set an appoinment, and one of the more hardened veterans should be more then helpful(this is not likely though, it's been along time, and it's an old game).

Fear Factor is right. Use the shroud and take to fuel pods with u, and to screamer pods. The extra fuel will garentie u quick sprint pace for most if not all of the level and screamer will allow quick kills on those pescky ripper killing buggers. Also make sure u use ur comms "Attack my Target" most of the time they will not do jack, but somtimes they end up keeping the enemy busy enough 4 u to get there and deal with them.

the 1st time i tried this i was in the phoenix and was too determined to use the shroud, I used the same tactics though i tried to pull the fight as close in to the ion cannon as possible, and nova cannond everything. That took me about 7 tries or so. when i tried the shroud i realized how much easier it was.

Now begins a new Age... The Age Of Arumin
