A Typhon a bonus objective? That's more like Inferno than FS1.

It only took a dozen tries, but I finally figured out how to destroy the Hades and still have some wingman left over.

You just have to keep telling all the different wings of bombers to destroy the Hades.  Their initial orders are to protect the destroyer that jumps in with them.  Also, if you tell Alpha wing to ignore the Hades, EVERYONE ingnores it!

So just give everyone orders on a per wing basis.  And tell the destroyer to attack too!

I noticed the other day one good indication of the quality level in Silent Threat. The mission briefing.

   In the Freespace1 campaign, most breifings have 7 to 9 stages. Silent Threat missions are rarely more than 3 (that's including the objectives summary). Typically consisting of "go and kill this, and this, and this too"

Geez, I'm sick and tired of all you people lamenting over how horrible ST was and how great it could have been. :hopping:

*goes off to finish FREDding mission STR05*

If you're trying to get Reborn released sooner, this is the way to go about it. :mad2:
I'm kidding you know... I'm not really mad at you. Thanks for spurring me on ever-so-subtly.
