Title: Need EBW help
Post by: Locutus of Borg on August 29, 2009, 10:10:51 pm: I try the first mission and was able to destroy all the Brakiri capships, but the fighters kept spawning out of nowhere until the two EA capships were destroyed. (One I am certain was caused by the game) It said run for the node, I dod and jumped out and it said I failed the mission.

What am I supposed to do?

:confused: :confused: :confused:

Hm. Wasn't there a patch of some sorts? I hate to give support for campaigns I did not make and since it's not from me, I don't really have a clue. People?

Post by: Locutus of Borg on August 30, 2009, 11:09:04 am: Yup, the fighters spawned for a good 15 minutes before my two ships were destroyed. I ran for the gate (which took a while at 45km) and when I jumped it said

No Briefing available for....

then when I pressed proceed I couldn't accept the outcome and had to redo it.

Any chance you could open the mission / or campaign in Fred (i realise you may need to extract it) to see what the requirements to proceed are?

ah, so you defeated the whole fleet too like I did? Yeah, in that case the missions screws up. Just let your capships die early and run.

But thanks for the advice. I'll just make for the gate once I press commit.

Post by: madaboutgames on August 31, 2009, 03:14:12 am: Well orginaly your where meant to lose the first 2 missions, but after much complianing from the testers it was changed that the player could save their cap ships and the ones they saved in the first 2 missions would be in the battle for Altair mision as well.

Have you got the patch and installed it correctly?

I will release a complete walkthrough of both the good and the bad sides of the campaign, I will also tell you some hidden secrets !

Hopefully i will get the time to finish the walkthrough by the time i go back to uni.
