Well, except for maybe one or two, when I couldn't figure what they wanted done, but I immediately redid them.

What happened to me is due completely to me starting the game on Very Hard and bumping it down to Hard for most of the rest of the game (with extremely annoying missions that I just CAN'T beat bumped to Easy out of frustration).

Sometimes I cannot understand those people, who start a new game on Verh Hard for the very first time. I decided to stop playing on Medium skill for the very first time in the case of Jedi Knight II. I managed to beat the game, but I am playing on easy since that.

First time through the game: 3 Beams in one attempt.  Second time: about 4 attempts to get 2 Beams.  Latest (on Medium instead of Easy): about 10 attempts to figure out the correct approacha angle, 4 to take out two Beams, another 6 before I got all four, and then another try to avoid getting vaporised by one of the Beleth's Beams while divebombing...  The last try involved perfect angle of approach vs all the Sathanas forward Beams (two Helii on each), one Helios into a Sathanas Flak gun, one Helios into a Beleth Beam Cannon, then the remaining two into the Beleth's engines.

i took down two beams on the first run, brought down four on the second. all in the afterburners.
never managed to bring down the flak. i generally assign my incompetent wingmen that task, which they fail at. horribly.
i don't remember if i managed the bring down the beleth as well. it's been too long.

Bearbaiting tormented me, because I took down all four beams on Insane on the very first try, and then - I jumped out by accident, not knowing that the Beleth was about to arrive in-system. So I replayed the mission, took down the four, and found the bonus cannon. :p So, 2 attempts.

I really really dislike you.

And I don't remember how many tries - I think I got 2 on the first try and simply went on and got the other 2 in the next mission.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Which came first?

I always thought it was the Cockerel ;)

Sorry

Flipside :D

 
It was the egg.  This is a fact.  Genetic alteration occurs almost always between hen and egg, but rarely between egg and hen.  So the egg could come from a bird that wasn't actually a hen (but genetically very close, of course).

Now let's please not start another argument about evolution.

Bah you're all missing the point. Nowhere in the question does it say the egg is a chickens egg. So the egg was first since there were creatures that laid eggs for millions of years before the chicken came along :D

I got all four beams and one flak gun on my first try, but then got a face first look at the inside of a Sathanas.  16 tries later, all 4 beams, both flak arrays, and the Beleth reduced to Shivan-coloured space dust.  Phoenicia and the Vasudan corvette survived.

16 tries?  Damn, I'm pathetic.
