I like playing both FS1 and FS2 on hard difficulty. It requires more tactical know-how and you need to rely on your wingmen a lot more. Just the way I like it.

In FS2 the third mission on hard mode is the first time you'll encounter any -serious- difficulty. On the second mission I used to have a really hard time avoiding missiles and whatnot but you get used to it. On the third mission what I finally ended up doing was charging in, luring the Loki's away, then blowing them up. Stopped working eventually so I decided to just charge in and destroy them as fast as possible... it was very difficult but I survived it. Keep in mind thoug that it SHOULD be difficult :-).

Another top one is when you're flying a bomber and blockading the NTF at the jump node. When that Deimos comes on... well, you don't want to attack Deimos' in a bomber we'll just say that. They're MADE to wipe the floor with you. Best advice is to try and keep the Mjollnirs alive, but don't try to do something that's impossible. If you can't get close enough to the Deimos then just let it go... better than dying :-).

On the third mission, just send one of your wingmen to attack a Loki, then as the Loki's target your wingman, order him to form up on you. They'll follow him straight to you, where you'll order everyone else to open fire and ruin the Loki's ****. No hull damage to you, easy Loki kills.

Insane difficulty is getting too easy... i want it harder again but ill wait for the SCP to make another difficulty harder then insane... maybe speed up everything by 20% and up weapon damage 25%...

Play the game on x2 time compression. Should be plenty difficult that way

[Mustang19]

That'd be a really good idea. In real life these spaceships would be going thousands of miles per hour (not a pathetic 80 m/s, about as fast as you can drive a car), and considering the AI's suckiness it's only fair that you speed up the game to give your reactions more of a workout.

[CP5670]

Insane is not all that bad. As Blackdove said, your wingmen also become much better on that difficulty, so if you give them a lot of manual orders some missions can actually become easier. The only mission that generally takes me more than two or three tries is Bearbaiting. At one point I used to also find loop1-3 (...but hate the traitor) very hard, but I later realized that since the no traitor flag is enabled, you can just kill all your wingmen at the beginning with no penalty (or leave Alpha 2 alive if you want, so he can talk to you later).

Makes sense, in cheat mode you can go at 50% speed, and 25% speed, which wakes it kinda easy... so x2 speed would be good (though x64

We should have a competition for how fast a person can beat the game!

Put in Categories for 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, etc. for beating missions.

Like... I bet i can beat the entire campaign on 4x compressions!

^^Not real... i could never do that^^

Have em save the videos with a hypercam so we can watch them die!

Uh, no. 80 m/s is around 150 mph. If you drive that fast you should go to jail.

Without invulnerability on at x64 you'd be dead in about a half a second.
