mission 22 is the one where you start off testing the stealth fighters then the shivans attack. how can you destroy the corvette that jumps in. The aquataine never induces enough damage and I can disable it and attack it after the aquataine leaves but it wont go lower than 10 %. any suggestions?

[Hippo]

you have to destroy it before the aquitane jumps... its tricky, but can be done...

[mnftg64]

i figured that, but I just can't get the aquitaine to do enough damage fast enough. do you get a medal or something for doing it?

[ChronoReverse]

The trick is to stay close to that corvette.  For some reason the Aquitane doesn't fire otherwise =\

[diamondgeezer]

If you want the medal for this mission, simply keep the Aquitaine above 50% hull. People will tell you that you need to kill the Moloch as well, but they're big fat liars. Take a bank of Stiletos to quickly knock out the Moloch's beams (or a SDG if you prefer) and then concentrate on the bombers

[TheVirtu]

Actually, when you're near the enemy Moloch, you act as sort of an extra long-range sensor for the Aquataine so that it may acquire a lock for weapons firing through the nebulae.

This is the case in all combat in nebulae mission. You're the extra set of eyes that let the warships get effective damage and destruction of your enemy from the longest range possible.

You can even have one of your wingmen do it for you by ordering him togo to the target...but he'll probably be destroyed quickly unlike that smart Alpha 1

[diamondgeezer]

I think it works the other way too, does it not? If you've got an asset out by a distant enemy target, then you can pick that enemy up in the nebula. Or did I imagine that? I am quite tired, so it's possible.

[TheVirtu]

Actually I think to a certain distance it works like that, then your wingmates start to fade into the nebula also, so you wont be able to determine the exact location of your wingmate or the enemy.

Because it can't see it. You're sighting for it.

[hobnob1978]

I just did that mission. I sat next to the damn Capship withit locked into my targeting sensors and the aquitane just crusied past firing nothing.

I think that mission is dodgy. Sometimes it works sometimes it won`t.

[TopAce]

As of my experience, the Moloch can be wiped out quickly. Stay close to it at the beginning of the mission.

[StratComm]

Have you tried carrying tag missiles?  They may help you out.  Tag the corvette and see what the Aquitane does.

[magatsu1]

I never managed to nail that Moloch too (only medal I was never able to get)
targeting the Corvette didn't help me 'neither.

[Hippo]

You don't need to destroy it to get the medal. You only need to protect the Oberon from delta, and keep the Aquitane's Hull above 50, and play it on medium.

[magatsu1]

don't know if I can be bothered with all that. I hate pretty much all the Barracuda levels.

[Stealth]

hey if you've got a question regarding finishing a level or what medals you can get or how to get the medal check my website:

TAGs...Carry TAG...That does the trick....Just be close enough to fire the TAg missile again one the effect wares off.

TAGs are unavailable in Proving Grounds...

i just played it, and oddly enough, on easy, i got the medal...

[DeepSpace9er]

I played it on easy many times. Right now i have 6 Order of Galateas. I guess its time for me to try it on medium

[magatsu1]

Hey Hippo, is that the actual FS2 mission structure ?
How'd you get FRED to acess it ?
