I finally reached the Admiral status and Triple Ace status in FS2, and I've won every medal! WoOt!:)

Hmm, so this explains your brown nose.

Do you get to backtalk Command now? And order reinforcements around? How about declining missions? "The Sathanas is heading for Capella? Gee...I'd love to help those millions of people, but the Simpson's is on...sorry."

Although, you gotta wonder what an Admiral's doing flying around in a fighter.

[Lightspeed]

Fighting, what else?

[jdjtcagle]

I've always wondered that

[capsfan9803]

Ha, i just thought of this

Alpha 2 (or whoever it was): Dammit!  Command let Bosch escape!

Alpha 1 (thinking): I did?

[Jetmech Jr.]

Good for you

I cant get any higher than commander, or something like that. I think FS2 has stopped recording my scores

The SCP isn't helping either.  We get reset every time we upgrade.

Lol a Admiral in a Fighter.

Command: "Alpha 1, the Command of your Wing have Lt. Commander Snipes"

I think "I'm Admiral and must follow orders of a Lt. Commander? WTF?!"

[Setekh]

Haha, congratulations. Just make sure you have a copy of your pilot file.

Getting Triple Ace is easy, but getting Admiral's status is almost impossible without cheating (in FS1 it does accuse you of cheating when you get that far). The only medal I can't seem to win in the main campaign is the Order of Galatea.

The mission "Proving Grounds," where you get the Order of Galatea, has to be the single most annoying mission in the whole campaign .  The only reliable way I found of getting that medal would be to focus on disarming the Tiamat's beam cannons as soon as it jumps in.  As soon as you're done, high-tail it back to the Aquitaine and fend off the bombers.  As far as I can tell, there's absolutely no way to destroy the Tiamat without having the Aquitaine's hull fall below 50%, the threshold for getting the medal.  (Actually, I don't think there's any way to destroy it, period .)

I just remembered playing Starlancer.
In Starlancer your rank decided whether you are or you are not allowed to fly better fighters. That was pretty cool.


But I think that's not possible in FS2

Commanding a capital ship would be nice too.

I got an admiral in FS1... It literally took me 6 years of playing...

After commander (or commodor) you pretty much have to exponentiate your score for each promotion... Just uh... How long have you been playing IG? In FS2, it took me 4 years, but i hit rear (or vice... the first one)... Makes me wonder how you managed to get it so fast without A; playing single player templar, or B; making a promotion campaign...

I actually managed to disable it once. When the Aqutaine scarpered it just sat there on 2% energy and wouldn't bloody die!

[Hippo]

probably the lack of a weapon with the huge flag or whatnot...

Weird, on medium I got it on first try, kept the Aquitaine above 50% and got some nice kills.

Personally, got to Admiral(Isn't it rear admiral) in FS1 after 4 years of replaying the campaign, and FS2, well, just now FS2 reguler, the added campaign, the FSport and ST allmost have me there, with all the medals achived long ago.

[TopAce]

Reaching an Admiral for me is quite impossible. I change my pilot files often.

[Ghostavo]

Use Emps against the Tiamat in proving grounds... you can kill it. Now... go read a book.
