Can't finish the High Noon mission.
Hey guys,
I'm kinda stuck here in the High Noon mission.
I've destroyed all 4 main beam cannons at the last mission, so I started blasting away the other beam cannons in the High Noon mission.
After a while the Colossus destroys the Sathanas, at that point I think I managed to blast away all the beam cannons, Then I destroyed all the fighters around and that's it.
I'm stuck here, I got no orders and if I go back to base they say they gonna bring me to curt marshal (I don't wanna go to jail ! :<).

Anyways, what's up with this mission ? Do I have to destroy all the beam cannons and fighters before Sathanas gets destroyed ?

Thanks in advance, Mike.

Re: Can't finish the High Noon mission.
Dunno about the effects of the beam cannons (mission-designwise), but I've always destroyed the fighters pretty much as soon as they arrive. So, try that.

Either you phrased this poorly or you're doing something horribly wrong, because I'm reading this as you saying that you were blasting away beam cannons after the Sathanas was destroyed... and since the only other beam turrets are on the colossus, that means you're attacking an allied ship, and you're obviously going to get a court-martial if you do that, because you've committed the high crime of treason!

So either don't attack friendly ships (duh),

or

rephrase your question (and maybe watch the events list (press F4 while in flight, and select the events tab)

Re: Can't finish the High Noon mission.
This is an old bug with the mission itself that crops up from time to time. The mission insists on you destroying Cancer wing in order to complete the game but Cancer wing has two waves and if the Sathanas is destroyed before you kill the first wave you'll never get the chance to kill the second one.

This should be fixed in FS2_Open + MediaVPs though.  Failing that simply make sure you kill the first four ships from Cancer wing early on in the mission.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.

And here I go accusing people of treason... good thing it takes two witnesses, eh? (well, in the US that is)

Hehe, I meant I think I managed to destroy all of Sathana's beam cannons before it gets destroyed.

I'll give it another try, I'll destroy the Cancers first this time.

EDIT:

Ok, killing those Cancers first did it.
Thanks : >
