It's supposed to fire beam cannons at the Orion. Pretty much like the one above. And destroy it. Try to create a new pilot, or adjust the difficulty level for the mission?

Orion had been destroyed only if i switched off time compresion ;)

Post by: ShadowGorrath on September 29, 2008, 08:47:59 am: You used time compression... Yea... Didn't think of that. Just that you see- this cinematic doesn't take long. Second: beams get weaker with time compression on, and Darius beat me with saying that.

Yeah? I've never had that problem though I have never gone above 8x time compression.

kimo: Was the Lucifer firing its beams?

Post by: kimo on September 29, 2008, 04:10:33 pm: Yes TopAce. 3 or 4 times. With normal time compression, Orion has been destroyed, with max - no.

Post by: Stormkeeper on September 30, 2008, 12:29:55 am: Like i said, since killing the Orion is the trigger, can't you just blow it up?

Post by: kimo on September 30, 2008, 03:14:54 am: OK, easy guys. Lucifer annihilated Orion. Problem has been solved.

Post by: Aardwolf on September 30, 2008, 03:18:45 am: Is the beam damage multiplied by the compression like it should be?

Also, why would you use time compression?
Title: Re: Problem with BLUE PLANET
Post by: kimo on September 30, 2008, 05:43:59 am: With max time compression beam cannons are weaker than with normal speed.

Why I used time compression? Because I'm a bit impatient :)

Post by: ShadowGorrath on September 30, 2008, 05:46:12 am: That cinematic wasn't long. Around a minute or so.

I remember seeing it for the first time, thinking what it was gonna actually be.
Title: Re: Problem with BLUE PLANET
Post by: kimo on September 30, 2008, 05:52:03 am: Yes, but I was sure that it will be long cutscene. OK, I was wrong.

kimo, you can press F4 in-game to see how many fighters the Orion spews. It's just a fraction of footage taken from a dead Hermes Escape Pod, remember? ;)
