That's Slipping the Noose. I know how to do that one. It's a "puzzle mission" and I set the puzzle. Showdown is the one where you have to stop the Scarab and destroy the excort wing of Sentris.

You bet it on the highest difficulty... :eek2:

Wow... I thought noone would be able to.


*Note to FREDers: Make the new missions a lot more difficult* :drevil:

*Note to coders: Steal the 'Nightmare' difficulty from Quake.* :devil:

What is the best difficult you beat any mission??? Aim mean anything.
Title: Top pilots Chat Zone
Post by: IPAndrews on April 29, 2005, 06:13:35 am
The puzzle missions are fairly easy to beat on Hard difficulty. As long as you know where to put yourself and your wingmen at a particular time.

More interesting questions might be what missions do people think are the easiest and most difficult. On that score, which missions do people like and dislike the most?

Personally I believe Showdown at the Pass is the most difficult whilst The Wheel Turns is the easiest. The mission I like the most is Ride of the Valkyrie because I just love the Valkyrie gunships and Tomcat's ground base. The mission I dislike most is Slipping the Noose because it was a lot of work to develop and even after having four mission designers work on it, it's still dull.

You could check out this (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,31419.0.html) mission by Primus.

It's the second mission in the FA campaign but if you don't mind skipping the first one FA missions can always use more feedback :)

The FreeSpace Volition Watch is pretty dead site. As you can see, last news is dated February 2004.

Here at HLP you can find more. Things are alive and rolling. :)

If you want to find some babylon 5 tech information. Here is two good sites.

Many in this community have little fondness for that site.  They take any specifications and details listed with a pinch of salt, so to speak.
Title: Top pilots Chat Zone
Post by: Fury on May 04, 2005, 01:39:21 am
Just for your information, B5Tech has pulled all detailed descriptions out of their hats. Unless you saw it in TV-show or movies, it is not canon. Books are semi-canon, except To Dream in the City of Sorrows which is canon.

Volition Watch is only working because the last renewal of it's DNS is still valid, won't be for long though. Volition Watch will cease to exist very soon, unless Telefraggged admins don't check on their hostings. Anyway, VW moved to HLP, that was an end of an era.
Title: Top pilots Chat Zone
Post by: Sparrow on May 05, 2005, 09:56:21 am
Exactly, for example B5 Tech insists in the White Star Being 475m long.. thats hideously too big for it, its more 275 or so meters acording to footage.. if the Ws was 475m that would be almost one third of an Omega class and we saw one crashing against the launch bay of the Pollux..and almost fitted sideways..

also there is all that Hyperion-MidWinter-Roosvelt classes wich i still have no clear where they came when we are talking about the same class of ship
Title: Top pilots Chat Zone
Post by: Fury on May 05, 2005, 10:12:23 am
Actually that 475m is an official size from the official ship size chart. However, it's only because in one episode it is seen to house two Minbari Nial fighters. Other than that, it's has been more like 250 meters in lenght.

And Midwinter class spawned after The Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5 changed their DNS address to midwinter from old hyperion, about same time we saw a Hyperion firing beam weapon for the first time. That gave birth to Midwinter class, unofficially.
Title: Top pilots Chat Zone
Post by: Sparrow on May 05, 2005, 10:58:13 am
Yeap, but Nials are very narrow, maybe 18-20m long but not more than 7 wide, a WS can house three Nials alongside wich makes the hanger some 25-30m and we are speaking of a 250-275m ship, that fits well for me..

For the tim Earl size charts i guess that he got them totally wrong.. some are ok like earth ships, Sharlins, G`Quans etc, but some ships, specialy Drakh ones are rubish, the Drakh battle-waggon according him is..  64kms long????? he´s mad!. :hopping:

In Crusade in the final eppisode a Battle Waggon can be seen and is not 20 times the Excalibur, and some Drakh cruisers can be leaving it, even the stupid 3km figure for Drakh standard cruiser the BW would be some 45kms long and those Drakh cruisers dont appear to be 3kms long (one can be in "War Zone" fighting an Omega, it appear to be smaller or same size as the Omega, so that could take down the BW from 64kms.. to... 23 maximum hehehe ;7


- For the midwinter.. yeap, i know the name of lurker´s guide is the font of both Hyperion and midwinter, but i dont know why when people saw the Clarkstown firing beam weapon they asume that is a new variant of Hyperions, for me even the first and original Hyperion could perfectly fire Beam Weapons, only because it didnt fire they in "a voice in the wilderness 2" it doesnt mean they have not them.. Omegas have a lot diferent weaponry also, we saw them firing beam weapons from the front and back , but in at least two ocassions we saw them firing beam weapons from the side turrets, one in "Messages from Earth" where the Aggy fires beam weapon from those turrets down to the WS , and second in "Point of no return" in the ISN footage an Omega can be firing beam weapon from another side turret..
is all a mess! :shaking:

There must be 2 classes of Drahk capital ships that share the same configuration.  If you remember just how big the one from "Lines Of Communication" was, you'll recall how the Whitstars were skin-dancing over the surface of it for some time.  It must have been about 2-3K long.  The one from "War Zone" and pretty much all other Drahk capital ships (besides the mega mothership) would be perhaps a bit larger than a Hyperion in my guess.  That still makes the "battlewagon" one hell of a big ship, but perhaps not 64K.
Title: Top pilots Chat Zone
Post by: Sparrow on May 06, 2005, 04:44:56 am
Yes, the Drakh ship in "Lines" was states as a Carrier, for carring Drakh raiders (150m?) and compared to the WS is really big, almost 10kms or so. And stupidly non.armed sinze a sigle WS took it off.. but it appear that almost all of we agree that the Drakh standard cruiser is not 3kms long as Tim Earls says, same as the Drakh BattleWaggon and same as the White Star.

Also funny is the size of the Excalibur, Tim Earls says 3km but Gideon in "War Zone" says 2km.. hard to say.. they say that it was a huge ship and in 2kms it would be same long as a Warlock and less than 300m more than an Omega, so the 3km would be more logical. But again the size of the ship is not only lenght, maybe is 2kms long but appears really big being a lot tall and wide for the gravitic fins, like the Sharlin or Avioki
Title: How many capital ships are needed to nail a Sharlin?
Post by: aipz on May 06, 2005, 09:10:32 am
Yes. to detroy the dreaded Mimbari Warcruiser how many are required?

4 Hyperion's, Vorchan's, Avioki's and Th'nor's are no match for this beast...

Wrong.. only one Nova with kamikaze crew is enought ;7
Title: Top pilots Chat Zone
Post by: aipz on May 06, 2005, 01:46:19 pm
True, but it is a rather expensive way...
Sometimes a commander wouldn't have enough battleships...
On the other hand, if you don't have a choice, it's quite reliable...  :lol:
Title: Top pilots Chat Zone
Post by: tommy185 on May 10, 2005, 04:59:45 am
The best way is attack for behind. All the ship's have more weapons on the front but low in the bag. Iven one nova is for the job. Like starfury battle, it's grasy to attack fase to fase then rater be other's tail.  :yes:

Title: Top pilots Chat Zone
Post by: Sparrow on May 10, 2005, 05:22:12 am
Well.. Omegas seem to be as good or  even better armed behind than in the front.

Why Sheridan ordered the Aggy to ram that Aegis platform when all he had to do was turn the ship and go backwards to the G.O.D firing the rear beam weapons :D
Title: Top pilots Chat Zone
Post by: Prophet on May 10, 2005, 05:57:29 am
There was time pressure involved. The platform had to be destroyed before it could fire. Turning Omega around with manouvering thrusters so small we cant even see them... Takes about ten times longer than simply go and ram it...

If some wand to try some hard missions on the babylon 5 missions. Try the Earth-Minbari war demo on medium level. that's hard. I try the hard but die almoust instint. Aim only get try with medium level but trying the hard. Maybe after that the insene, but aim dout aim cant win that battle.

Hmmm. There are a few things that could crash multiplayer.

Are you trying to play an IP game? I can't remember if TBP was supported by FS2NetD or not (If it isn't it would give you messages about hacked tables but should still work - are you seeing those before the crash?)

If you're trying to play on FS2NetD have you registered and entered your details into the multiplayer options screen?

Either way take a look at my FAQs gameplay section as the multiplayer help in there (even though it goes on about FS2) may help you. Don't use the old edition build though as that won't work with TBP :)

If ytou haven't entered an IP address and you don't have PXO set that's your problem. You're basically playing a LAN IP game with no other computers set at the moment.

Turn on PXO as it actually points you to FSNetD now.
