"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

About 4 tries...

Got 3 beams down and blasted the Beleth to dust! And I was VERY nervous, since I was left with 2% hull after the Sath jumped out!

The question was from me. It wanted to be rather comical than serious.

I took out 2 beams on the first attempt, thought I could do better, restarted, and couldn't do anything at all!

Took me about 6 more attempts to even get two. Did it another two times and got 3, settled for that. Will be doing it properly next time. When I get it working. It was on medium difficulty though.

Sorry to bring back this thread, although it isn't that old. Not yet.

I have a silly question about this mission: what is this bonus objective Setekh spoke about? I played through the campaign a few times, but I have never seen that canon. I didn't really look for it either, I was busy enough with the front beams.

And to answer the question, two beams down the first time around. (Medium level) After that the four beams are usually down, if I manage to survive that is. Am I the only one who has more problems with the fighter escort than with the Sathanas itself? These fighters are very skilled at ruining the day and preventing me from surviving. They must know that the biggest threat in the universe is neither the Colossus nor their Sathani fleet, but Alpha 1.

Fifteen ships are supposed to deal with the escort wings, but they aren't quite effective. They seem to behave more like unarmed drones than actual fighters or bombers, as they are shot down at an impressive rate. (Less than two minutes of fighting and four wings down. Good luck Alpha One with the Beleth) Sure, they aren't attacking me at least. (A friendly trebuchet killing you right before the end of the mission is *so* frustrating)

It's evident that only a few pilots can meet that goal, it is very hidden. I haven't known it until I had a look at that mission is FRED.

No bonus score is given to any goals completed in the [V] campaign, so I don't waste my time on things like this. I would rather concentrate on destroying the fighters. I get SCORE for them.(Not much, but Not much > 0. :))
