right --- I just obscured to the shield gauge, so you cannot see what fighter

Hence why I said 'for example'. :p I didn't think they'd be capturing Ravanas in WotW.

Post by: Droid803 on February 22, 2009, 03:43:28 pm: Who knows?
Well, if the Ravana's out of beam range and it isn't doing anything, escorting the friendly destroyer from bombers is a much higher priority than engaging a Ravana 20 clicks out. Hence the "pls ingore for now".
Title: Re: Directive You Can't Belive - take II
Post by: NGTM-1R on February 22, 2009, 05:00:04 pm: I find that directive perfectly believeable.
Title: Re: Directive You Can't Belive - take II
Post by: Droid803 on February 22, 2009, 05:56:07 pm: Now...if it were roasting the Meretseger...that'd be harder to believe.

Any of you played Rain or Ribos 4? It has the greatest directive in the world in the mission where you have to blow up a convoy with a single shot.
