Title: Help! Problem with scan mision
Post by: utops on February 10, 2009, 03:34:48 pm
Fsckin Scan mission...
5h i try to beat this mission without success...
To complete this mission i must scan 4 cargo 4 frighters  2 cains one devil and Lucypher
ok;
cargo : check
frighters: check
cains: first check second fail.... sometimes ok i can scan it, but damn this is so rare to do (im close to it in clear position lock on best subsystem  to scan but nothing happens)
devil: ok it is easy, but i must get it fast.
Lucy: dockbay scan is pretty easy, but when that figters  come to get me , they destroy me when i go to subspace... (always!!!)

Please, get me some advice to beat this mission, maybe some script hacks, or uh cheats...

I dont know, is this mission is identical to that from native Descent:Freespace Great War?
I remember when i play this game 10 years ago i dont have any problems to finish campagin, but i dont remember thart particular mission

Thx.

You're supposed to be detected when the fighters come out of the fighterbay. Just shoot a few warning shots at them, get as far away as possible and then warp out. IIRC there are a few minutes when your jump drives are inoperative. In that time it's a good idea to either just get as far away as you can or kill all the fighters.

It's not my favorite mission either, mind you.

If you're quick enough you can blast away some of the fighters as they come out. This makes it much easier to get away.

heheh.

Here's a protip: shunt all your energy to engines at the start of the mission, you won't be using your shields or weapons anyway. You'll have a nice cruising speed of 90 m/s without afterburners.

After the wing of Manticores jumps in, you should be able to kill them all and jump before the second wave. If not, hide near the Lucifer's hull (like the back, under the curved shells.) The AI isn't smart enough to find you without clobbering themselves and you could jump from there.

Uhg, this is one of my least favorite missions - Playing Judas

It's up there with the first mission, and the one at the very end when the Bastion is intercepted by the Demon class Tantalus

When they detect you, do a 180, hit your burners, go to full speed and fly evasively til command tells you to go. Put power into your shields if you have to, then JTFO!

Alternatively, instead of trying to evade, you could kill all the fighters chasing you.
