), but when the convoy apparently splits into two parts and you can protect only one part, things get really annoying. Isn't there a tip that would get me out of this deadly trap ?
Damn, it's been a while since I've done this mission. I don't recall ever having the transports ram each other to death in it though...that's usually left to megafrieghters. Splitting the convoy into two parts...I don't remember that EVER happening. Did you patch the game before you started playing?The Nomad wrote:I'm currently playing the mission in which you have to escort a supply convoy to the Mwari system. With my turretfighters it is not too difficult to shoot down the Marauder corvettes and strafe the mines, but once I'm done with it, nightmare begins. I don't think you can do much to prevent the transporter ships from ramming each other and thus mutually inflicting tremendous damage ( which once prematurely ended the mission
IIRC, yes, it is the Advanced Patcom, arguably the single best ship in the game.Or alternatively, what's the fee for this mission ? If this is a ship ( Tachyon-class patcom ? the mail from Indigo mentions that the Mwari are excellent shipbuilders IIRC ) ), then I'll try to achieve this mission whatever it takes ; if this is just a few goods / equipment parts, then too bad for the MCA !
You bought the game, played it, and never thought of looking for any patches?The Nomad wrote:Wait a minute... just HOW many transports are there ? I get at least 6 transports ! I think that there is a big fucking bug : there are 2 identical waypoints in that mission, meaning that I've got to protect two convoys instead of a single one.
BTW I already tried to patch the game, which caused huge problems...
can I patch the game without restarting from the very beginning ?
I did, but the patch brought more problems than it solved ( and I had problems to reinstall the game after that ). With this one, no problems ( except than some item names in the trade and engineering screen tend to disappear - but that's fairly rare ).Hotfoot wrote:You bought the game, played it, and never thought of looking for any patches?
Easy: either boost power to guns to increase range and blast the mines from long range (i.e. before the timer starts) or blast past them at full burn to grab their attention, then do a Parias Bootlegger (180, activate LDS manually) then fly back to the container while the mines are still on a wild goose chase.The Nomad wrote:gahh...
looks like achieving the Omans' tests will make this escort mission looks like a cakewalk...
God, how the hell can you fly in this minefield and take the container without trying to nail the mines, which will take more than the imparted time ?
Gunstars just make you hide behind the rocks. It was the easiest of the Trials for me. Just watch your inertia. Pump all of your power to engines and you should be just fine. There is an official forum, you know, with a nice shiney FAQ.Same goes for the Gunstars, there's way too little time !
The third part, well it's just a matter of brainstorming... but if someone has the solution at hand, I wouldn't mind a little help ( too lazy to work seriously on it ).
I forget, actually. Check the FAQ.Besides, where do you have to go to find all 500 pilots for the League fleet ? I already have pilots from Eureka and Firefrost, I'm currently working on Kompira, but is there help in Dagda and Santa Romera ?
