Ok I'm failing "Forced Entry"

Spoiler:

Ok I can manage thru saving Duke, Labourchere, Bretonia, Solace and Sanctoty. But I seem to can't save Temeraie when she comes out.

I read the help from Mawhrin and Mad Bomber on Page 34. And having Trebs to use. But I seem to not be able to go fast enough to destroy two beam turrets before Temeraie go down. The best I have was to destroy one turret.

I think I lost this mission about 30 times so far. Is there anymore tips? Maybe I need to drop defending Sanctory faster and just have all Alpha, Beta, Delta and Gamma follow me the instance they come in.

I failed at easy and very easy.

Any more tips?

Darius, great job!

[Jeff Vader]

sorry for my painful question

Without doubt it is more painful to you to not be able to continue playing this fantastic campaign. If you encounter problems, ask and you shall be answered.

Welcome to the Hard-light Station. *snip*

No.

GTI HLP, with my Orion - the GTD Lituanica - in defence of it.

There are some people who still haven't played the campaign. Shall we start a crusade on the non-players ?

The Ravana's main beams are quite weakly armoured. A bank of Prometheus S can quickly destroy them in a few shots, especially if they're mounted on a bank with four firing points (such as the Kulas, Aurora, Myrmidon, etc). The range is also very good at 1200m, which means you can start shooting from a long way out.

I find that even if you wait till the Ravana appears before charging towards it, you'll still have enough time to destroy the cannons and keep the Temeraire alive.

Otherwise it may be a problem with the Ravana model that people were having before..if that's the case you'll need to get the fixed model. If that was the case, you would have had problems with Keepers of Hell and Preserving the Balance as well.

Maybe I'll post up a video walkthrough of some of the more difficult missions Even if it's just for fun.

[ShadowGorrath]

You should. But you also should update your site with BP2 info.

[terran_emperor]

Best bet is to get to the back of the Temeraie as fast as possible. I failed that mission many times before i realised that the trick was to get to the back end of the Temeraie as soon as it appears. With all power to engine, the Temeraie's initial speed and the Treb's range, you should be close enough for target aquisition once the Ravana appears.

Hope that helps

Darius good to "see" you alive

Which is why I prefer the derailing technique of logging in only when actually posting.

Srsly, how's the second part proceeding? No need to hurry. Not at all. Age of Aquarius had some schedule setbacks, but if that was the byproduct of creating a classy campaign, then by all means, take your time.

What ship are you in? You need to be in something that does 75m/s or better. I prefer Aurora or Perseus. The high poly Ravana model that's included in the mediaVPs also has poor collision detection, so paired trebs often fail to hit the turrets. Consider extracting the retail model (.pof) and adding to the correct subdirectory in your BP folder.

1500m according to wiki.
I feel the need to repost the Balor's stats:

	Armour	Shield	Subsystem
Damage per second	122.5	175	70
Damage per energy	245	350	140

These numbers are outrageous. The only down sides to this weapon are its 450ms-1 speed and 900m range. Every other primary is now obsolete except for the Maxim and (for capture operations) the Akheton SDG.

There's a link of a download of a fixed HTL Ravana in the 'Ships with faulty colision detection' thread.

Also, press Shift+/ to get 2 missiles to fire at once.

[Darius]

Yeah. That Balor's going to get some rebalancing. The proper value needs to be about half that, a legacy left over from when I thought the "cycle" flag divides the damage up among the bank's firepoints.

Please, please, please! Leave the Balor usable in BP2.

The Balor will be usable. But not in the campaign. I think. Because it's a GTVA weapon ^^

[Colonol Dekker]

Bah
I was looking forward to seizing Sol by force. . . . Unless you get to make a "moral choice"

[ShadowGorrath]

Actually, we don't know anything about how the campaign will be. So, you might still have the chance. Or not. Eitherway, I don't think we'll be disapointed.

[Colonol Dekker]

He just said "it won't be usable in the main campaign" i'm gonna write a campaign where you smite Sol forces. . . Once BP2 is released.

[ShadowGorrath]

There might even be a BP3 btw.

And the Earth forces seem too good for anyone to want to crush it.

[Cyker]

(The most annoying being where the game would crash if you tried to select a different fighter while 'differently conscious')

Do you mean that the game crashed when you tried to open the fighter selection screen? That is easily fixed by enabling ship_choice_3d from the Launcher.

Wee! Thanks oh problem solving wolf!

I did find that when I clicked on the weapon, the game would crash, but since the keepers only have one primary and 1 secondary it doesn't really matter...
