Just cheated through the mission so I could pay attention to what the Altan Orde and Katana were doing. The Katana took a little bit of a burst flak bath as the Altan Orde's gunners oh-so-helpfully picked off some strikecraft that were attacking the Katana, but there wasn't any friendly fire from apocalypses, mass drivers, or gauss cannons.
If they're not shooting missiles into each other, then what's happening?
Could you do more testing, Lunadance? Try sitting back and observing Altan Orde and Katana.
Last time I played DE, everything worked perfectly, though this was some time ago.
Also, on what difficulty do you play?
Hello everyone, I tried 4 more times to see whats going on, and this is the result:
Do nothing :
Katana falls due to Deianira(21%), at 15 seconds to overload. (Sighted ships attacking Katana : Carthage, Joketsu, Deianira, Iolanthe)
Detooth Iolanthe only :
Katana falls due to Deianira(43%).
Detooth Deianira only :
Altan Orde falls due to Iolanthe(21%), but Katana has only 6% hull left.
Detooth Deianira and Iolanthe, at 80 seconds to overload(At this moment Katana has around 80% hull) :
Katana falls due to Altan Orde(24%).
I was playing on level easy (Not really good at evading missiles and flaks), no checkpoints or cheats used.
Thanks for your replies!
EDIT :
In the last trial, I did nothing except detoothing Deianira and Iolanthe. Katana survived for a period of time before it's destroyed.
I pressed F4 after I finished the last beam. The last countdown message was on 80s. Then I did nothing else.
