Title: Derelict, last mission
Post by: rhraziel on August 29, 2009, 05:12:25 pm

I'm having trouble with this mission, you have to take out some bombers, then you have to take out the beam cannons on 2 cruisers and one destroyer, I can't seem to take out the beam cannons in time. Actually, I'm not even sure how to target them. I cycle through the subsystems with S. I assume it's the weapons subsystem you take out? Even so, I can seem to do it fast enough even when I command all fighters to "disarm my target". Any help would be appreciated!

You can target turrets under the reticle with "k". Taking out the weapons subsystem will only reduce the AI's accuracy a bit, so you need to destroy the turrets directly.

Actually, "V" selects the turret under the reticle.  "K" just cycles through every turret on the target, starting (I think) with the one closest to you.

Got it, Thanks for the tip. That was a tough one. Such an awesome campaign though.

It was a real bastard move that they placed you in an Artemis D.H. for that mission
That ship is trash!  :p

Weren't you flying the Hydra in that mission, not the DH?  Because the former was definitely an improved variant of the Artemis, instead of the mislabeled Artemis reskin that is the DH. :p

Well... the D.H. had a slightly different mesh as well as a new paint job...

It did?

The D.H. had no stats differences from the regular Artemis.

Same table, different mesh, different map.

The normal Artemis had four fins... the D.H. had three.
