Title: what happened to Kappa wing?
Post by: DIO on January 24, 2004, 09:54:23 am
They vanished without a trace, and only kappa 3 suddenly appered near field test of TAG and it was destroyed shortly after.
so, what happened to them?
why only kappa 3 was there?

They met the Sathanas. You remember Kappa 3 yelling 'there's something out there'?

Now here's something I forget, did Kappa 3 return to the Warspite or did it get destroyed and/or vanished into the nebulae again?

You usually get so busy that you never notice where Kappa 3 goes.

You CAN save Kappa 3...

EDIT: I was thinking of Scout 3, nevermind.

That scout 3 is a cool dude:

"I'm bugging out, they got me good back there." *yehaw*

whereas Kappa 3:

"aaaaahhh, save me. HELP ME, NOOOO. Mommy!!!"

When the mission started, I actually followed Kappa 3 around (this was after I beat it the first time). They just went and hid under the Aquitane, those silly little jokers :D :lol:

I actually "saved" Kappa 3 once (using cheats). That little bastard was getting chased by at least a dozen Shivan fighters (Don't remember if it was Aeshmas, Maras, or Astaroths)...

I always order Kappa 3 out. I try to take care of my wingmen - if a guy's nearly dead I order him out. Good leadership skills, see?

Guys! Where are your manners?

Welcome to HLP, DIO. :) Personally, I think the rest of Kappa got smoked by Shivans.

:welcome:

I used to do that, but right now, I want a compelling reason to do that, if you know what I mean :)

im sure there was several weeks or months between the disapperence of the Kappa and field test of the TAG.
so what were they doing in that time?
were they just drifting for weeks,or possibly even captured by shivans?

Using fusion engines as they do, they could probably last a few months or years before they ran out of fuel! :D

The pilot would probably have a bigger problem with food and water.

and toilet visits......

For all you know there's an entire apartment in one of those things, what with the weird scaling (if I recall correctly). If an attack bomber like the Su-34 can have a galley and chemical toilet, I think the GTVA might have considered plugging in a set of, er, biological support cubicles or something. I'm putting too much thought into this.:doubt:
