Ok, I was just playing the FS2 campaign again and have a question about the mission named "the place of chariots." My question is, even if you destroy the Boadicea's engines, will it still jump out?
-
In theory, any disabled ship will not be able to move, including Subspace manouvers, however I doubt you'd be able to disable the Boadicea's engines in time with only MX50's and Fury's, (Sorry I have FS1 on the brain at the moment).
-
Ive managed to disble her using cheats to give me better weapons. she dont jump out
-
You could just go after the Nav subsystem right? Does the same thing, and it probably has lower armor than its total of the Iceni's three engine subsystems.
-
the place of chariots? I thought it was the palace of chariots
-

So if it doesn't jump out, then what do you do to it?
-
nothing, you cheated and there's no other way to end the mission rather than leaving the Iceini jump.
by the way.. noticed that the ship emerging from the bodicea is actually the old Iceini, isnt it?
-
Yeah, its stil the old Iceni because noone made a HTL Boadicea yet.
-
That's why Command let Bosch escape - they didn't want you to notice that the Iceni was HTL'ed!
-
the place of chariots? I thought it was the palace of chariots
Dragonsniper got it right: The Place of Chariots
-
Though 'Palace' does sound more epic, the canon name is place. :nod:
-
Up next: what to do if you manage to stop the Iceni in Endgame.
Yeah, its stil the old Iceni because noone made a HTL Boadicea yet.
Indeed. I seem to recall hearing something about the fact that the damn thing only appears in one canon mission so there's little reason to prioritize its HTL'ing.

Who would put chariots in a palace?

a 19'th century Bill Gates maybe..

Dragonsniper:
This question is SO stupid... if you would manage to do it using Rockeyes and Tempests then OK... but rly, maybe I should ask now:
"HAY GUYZ WAT WILL HAPEN IF I DESTROY SATANAZ IN THE FERST MISSIONZ IT APERS IN ?!*"
Don't take it personally, it's just that... testing like that has the same sense as puting chariots in a palace!
*"Hey guys, what will happen, if I destroy Sathanas in the first mission it appears in?"
-
The names of the second and the third mission are references to history of the Romans' conquest of Britain.
Boadicea - or Boudica (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boudica), with more likely correct spelling - was the queen of a tribe called Iceni in East Anglia. She led an uprising of several tribes against Romans, and the Briton tribes used chariots pretty extensively in their warfare as anyone who played Rome: Total War should know. Also, the uprising was timed when the governor of the province was occupied in fighting elsewhere in Britain (referenced in Roman's Blunder I think)
-
Yep that sounds like one our faithful British Statagies. Draw you into an invasion of our Beloved Blighty, long enough for a revolt to breakout in your home land. :p
-
In the same way that the Trinity must be destroyed, you must let the Iceni escape.
-
I've disabled it before, but it took effort . . . and Stilletos.
And it was so not worth it.

Too f**king right! Command never lets you RTB
A1-"command - Ive done the impossible and disabled the Iceni. Command can i Return to base?"
C-"..."
A1-"Command? Hello? Is anyone there? Can I RTB yet?
C-"..."
A1="F**k it! I'm Returning To Base/"
debriefing
C-"You disabled the iceni against all odds of the universe. Good Work. However, you Returned To Base with out permission so we are going excecute you for that. Have a nice day
-

That was a bug. It should be fixed now.
-
Playing the mission for the first time, you really won't know that disabling the Iceni is a failed objective later on.

Why do people waste time breaking a mission and then get disappointed when the broken mission doesn't do anything? Do people think Volition ladened every little mission with easter eggs on the off chance someone would cheat and do something contrary to what was scripted?
-
To add on to Akala's last post, please bear in mind that FS2 was made in under a year. :v: started making it right after FS1 was released, and despite the fact that they finished ahead of schedule, it is pretty evident that the end missions were sped up.
The only Easter egg I know that exists in FS2, which was deliberately put there by :v:, is at the end of Surrender, Belisarius!.
-
What was that? Command asking you if you have engine problems if you stay to watch Iota dock with the Psamtik?
-
heh... i just sit and watch, every time i play. I a fricking guardian angel to refugees. and slightly stalkerish... :p
-

Yeah, that and everything after that. That is the only time Command shoots such a snappy, informal question at the player. :lol:
-
Maybe Command was trying to check whether their new ensign was a "yes man" or a "no man." ;)

Plus there was that whole deal of the Roman general raping and killing Boadicea's daughters and husband which led her on the warpath...
