speaking of the baseball bat effect, are they gonna correct the off center axis of the Collosus in the SCP, or is that going too far down the slippery slope of gameplay changes?

This has been discussed before.

The answer is no.

Whoa, wait.

Why do the SCP guys have to do that?  All it requires is some tinkering in the POF file.  You can do it with the PCS or Modelview.  I'm pretty sure that it has nothing to do with anything hard coded.

Yes, but it won`t get into the Media vps, that`s what Carl and ngtm1r were talking about

Actually, it has been discussed before and the answer is yes.  At least as far as warping out is concerned.

I've beaten Bearbaiting with all 4 guns destroyed. The trick is to call in support at the beginning so it will follow you around and you won't have long to wait before rearm. You have to get clear shots on every gun aswell (i.e. takes out in one shot not down to 13% or whatever). Never destroyed flak aswell though.

Someone (EDIT: Goober) once posted a screenshot of the objectives page that you get by pressing F4, and he had knocked out all the beams, all the Flak, and even got the LRed on the back end of the Sathanas.

The rear sathanas turret is poorly armoured, very poorly armoured.


It's entirely possible.

That was me.  On Medium, without cheating:

Since then I've managed to accomplish the same thing on Insane except without getting the bonus beam cannon or saving the Thebes. :)

Jesus.

By the way: I went back and did High Noon without ordering my wingmen to ignore the Sath...(they got wasted, if you were wondering.)

1. I noticed how quickly the C swings around to bring its turrets to bear, but it's not as quick as you guys describe.
2. I can't believe you guys hate the Colossus so much. What is wrong with you? 4 or 5 beam cannons going off at once, pummeling the Sathanas into oblivion. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It's so beautiful.

I don`t hate the C. It`s one of my favourite ships and I like the cutscene too. I like beamfest ships

BTW, you should order each wingman to attack one turret, then take out one yourself, then proceed to help your dumb wingmen. They do deliver at least one bomb. You should leave the others do their job, Delta (IIRC that`s the squadron given the objective to take out the flaks) does it`s job sometimes, but you`ll have to help most of the time

Delta always plows right into the sath, and get pushed along by it all the while spraying acheton madly.
