Blue Planet: The Battle Captains (Fan Campaign)
crizza:
Playing as the Captain of a Deimos Corvette?
DAmn, I'll reinstall FS2 plu the latest stuff and give it a try.
General Battuta:
This is addictive and engaging. The difficulty's in exactly the right spot and it's fun to try out different tactics. I'm with Niffiwan - I like how the situation incentivizes you to get right up close with the Leviathans and eat their hurt in the name of keeping the transports alive. Narrative-gameplay assonance!
I couldn't get my main beams to fire on manual mode, and never got any messages from Gunnery about them. Couldn't quite figure out how to get my overloads to fire either. But the regular TerSlashes did the jorb.
This mission feels very FS2. It does a great job of capturing the gameplay atmosphere - the slower ROF and more direct tactics. And I loved the little bits of narrative. The failure debrief in particular will certainly be provocative to certain Steele fans ;)
If I learned one lesson about captaining a Deimos, it's this: point your nose at capships and your ass at fighters.
Soulrheever:
That was FUN! :D
Seems like the trick to firing the overloaded beams is to manually hit the primary weapon fire key during the 5 second window, correct?
General Battuta:
That was my thought too, but no dice. I swapped it to manual before trying that, maybe I should've left them on auto.
Soulrheever:
Ok, on this last run I got the beam overcharge to work once, crippling one of the cruisers and forcing it to withdraw, but then I couldn't get it to work again on the other one... :confused:
