Going into this campaign completely blind

<< < (2/6) > >>

Assassin714:
Mission 14 (ISF Branch): Fun, not nearly as difficult as I was worried about.

Mission 15 (ISF Branch): Flying a Nahema was a new experience, although it wasn't quite as agile as I had expected. Challenging mission but not too hard, although seeing the Ravana escape immediately after the mission started was annoying.

Mission 16 (ISF Branch): Reminded me a bit of a mission from ASW, although I liked that one better. I had a very difficult time defending the Pallas though, since its hull was reduced to 27% in the previous mission.

Mission 17 (ISF Branch): First time I flew the Reshef, which seems to be a Vasudan equivalent of the Erinyes. It seemed that the Warlock carrier pointlessly just sat there and let itself be destroyed, though. Nice to see many new ships... although I kind of felt useless fighting a shielded Lucifer. Difficult mission.

I'll also note that I like the new medal box, although when you hover the mouse cursor over the medals they don't display the names unless you hover it over an area significantly to the left of the medal in question.

I don't feel like starting the campaign again from scratch so I guess I'll next play the missions in the other branches from the tech room.

I'd also like to add that I really liked the music in the last mission.

Assassin714:
From now on, playing all missions from the tech room.

Bonus mission (the 4th vial): I don't know why this was included with the mod but apparently it is as a standalone mission. I got deja vu as I remembered playing a very similar mission before (same premise and objective in the same place and time) but it wasn't the same one. I did like the use of the glowing Sathanas models and the subspace weapons (I've seen several mods where they were included in the weapons tables but this is the first time I've ever actually seen them being fired in a mission). Scanning the first two Sathanases was difficult enough and I died in the supernova later so the next time I just forgot about scanning the third one and got out of their as quick as I could, and managed to escape.

Mission 1 (Military Branch)

It was kind of annoying to fly over and deal with the convoy then fly back in time to protect the ships from the Shivan counterattack. I lost the Imutef to the bombers before being able to save it with 1% health in my latest run. Curious about what the mysterious radar signature on the moon was, also the Imutef took a very long time to jump out, but that could have been because it was so damaged. I had to use time compression to wait for it to finally jump. Background scenery was pretty good too.

Assassin714:
Mission 2 (Military Branch): Somewhat difficult to protect the friendly capships. Otherwise a good mission.

Mission 3 (Military Branch): Even more difficult, but not so much as to not be fun. Nice to see what happened to the Kraken after we fought it in the other branch. Also, the Reshef is a joy to fly, and it seems I was right about it being a Vasudan equivalent of the Erinyes.

Assassin714:
Mission 4 (Military Branch): Straightforward but ended a bit too soon, I kept expecting there to be more.

Will probably finish the rest of the missions tomorrow.

Assassin714:
Mission 5 (Military Branch): Simple and straightforward mission, although fairly challenging. Again though it felt like it ended too soon.

Mission 6 (Military Branch): I knew I was going to hate this mission as soon as I read the briefing. Escorting warheads by firing EMP missiles sounded impossible, and indeed that was my experience in the mission. Nothing I did could stop the missiles from being shot down, it was pure luck that any of them survived, and even when they did they did hardly any damage to the turret. I failed the mission tons of times and eventually had to cheat and destroy the turrets with cheat codes. Even when I did that, though, there was an error when the AWACs ship showed up, Delta wing arrived shortly before I destroyed the ship and the mission ended successfully (as I cheated again to destroy the last turret) but the debriefing gave both the successful text and text saying that one turret wasn't destroyed and I didn't signal Delta wing. I have no idea what was going on there.
