Directive You Can't Belive - take II
on: February 21, 2009, 06:43:29 am
After "The Light Of Antares", Mission 4's directive "Ignore Shivan Bombers" - now its successor from "WotW: The Lost Generation"

"As you sought to steal a kingdom for yourself, so must you do again, a thousand times over. For a theft, a true theft, must be practiced to be earned." - The terms of Nyrissa's curse, Pathfinder: Kingmaker

==================

"I am Curiosity, and I've always wondered what would become of you, here at the end of the world." - The Guide/The Curious Other, Othercide

"When you work with water, you have to know and respect it. When you labour to subdue it, you have to understand that one day it may rise up and turn all your labours into nothing. For what is water, which seeks to make all things level, which has no taste or colour of its own, but a liquid form of Nothing?" - Graham Swift, Waterland

"...because they are not Dragons."

Well, it could be reasonable, if for example, you are flying fighters or you want to capture that Ravana.

Hence why I said 'for example'. :p I didn't think they'd be capturing Ravanas in WotW.

It'll be taken care of by someone else, but your goal is to protect the Typhon?

Weeeeeeeeeeeell... what's so unbelievable in it? It's something like "Ignore the Sathanas, Orff!"

Who knows?
Well, if the Ravana's out of beam range and it isn't doing anything, escorting the friendly destroyer from bombers is a much higher priority than engaging a Ravana 20 clicks out. Hence the "pls ingore for now".
