I got the LSF Hound through M5Wasn't terribly hard. Hound got out with under 20% hull I think, but the pressure on it wasn't continous so after a point it was reasonably safe.
I saved the LSF Volley in M8It didn't make it out which much left, I think 4% hull, but it made it out.
I picked the Ray EThe Ray 3E's drop in shields/armor didn't seem to be that great over the regular Ray 3 since I stopped dead for a few moments with each to check. The Ray 3W's drop in manuverability, however, made it difficult to engage and destroy Cordi ships fast enough to reduce incoming damage and survive in the long term.
I got Misuzu as the pilot in M15 (Infiltration) Though looking back on the dialogue it does sound like it maybe should have been Crystal. Your Schrondinger's-fu was a little weak.
I destroyed more then 5 motherships in M15I got to six, but by then I was down to 13 percent hull from numerous collisions. While I did lose forward shields once, I only took 10% damage before I noticed and reequalized, and I took the time to charge up while inside and safe. It was clear, though, that even if I took the mission from the top many more times than I actually did I wasn't ever going to make it to eight. (It took me a couple of tries to precisely time the afterburner use for a proper escape.)
I could select the Hazel bomber in M23The Hazel is decidely different from the other ships in both method and durablity. I actually rather enjoyed flying it, though I think its shields are somewhat weak for the role.
I was doing neither in the last mission.Taking a third option here. It took me two tries; on the first, I wasn't inflicting damage fast enough and the ship jumped. On the second, I didn't manuver because of my experience on the first and being unable to kill the reactors fast enough and the interior guns got me. It wasn't, however, that the last mission was actually difficult so much as that it was so radically different from all previous missions I wasn't prepared for how to do it.
I called in NanohaOh man, there was an option for this and I missed it? Damnation. I'm like the only real Nanoha fanboy on the boards too.
Infi shouldn't have sacrificed himselfInfi did the right thingI'm pretty sure that between the LSF and Infi it would have been possible to disable the flagship,
if he had revealed it was capable of such a thing to the LSF beforehand. His sacrifice was necessary at the time, but it was necessary because he made mistakes beforehand. Both answers are valid at the same time. :/
Oh, and obligatory Snuffleupagus here.
