Title: NTf fleet...
Post by: AlphaOne on October 06, 2003, 11:38:40 am: Here is a question ....how the f... do i manage to destroy all those ntf ships that keep jumping into the GTVA sistem..they are running..!
Can someone tell me the ideal loadout..and the craft for the job..I never managed to take out all of the ships...the Orion sliped from me and I just barely survived..:ick
Shame on me...well I gues not everione is as good as they think at the game..:rolleyes:

If you are losing RBC's then assign a wing of fighters to intercept the fighter wing that comes through the node.

Post by: Liberator on October 09, 2003, 10:12:25 am: The only ship I ever really have a problem with is the corvette at the end because my wingmen are either dead or out of bombs and I've usually only got 1 or 2 bombs left so by the time I get rearmed it's nearly to the jump out point. This is probably the hardest mission in the game except maybe the escort of the Aqutaine as a vasudan.

As soon as you fire your first volley, call in the support ship, and it'll be re-arming you while the Argo and the cruiser are jumping in. Just fire, switch banks, fire, switch banks and fire again and most things'll go down pretty damn quick. Oh, and attack the corvettes fromtheir six o'clock high position - they've got no decent guns to hit you or your bombs with there. :)
