thanks for the hint, one thing is certain, I'll never be a squad leader, I never notice these things

Hi everyone, I'm loving RW, especially the sense of drama in the missions and story.  It reminds me of a lot both B5 and FS2, feeling the ups and downs of the characters (I'm going to try and avoid spoliers, so I'll just say I was really angry after the mission before Nightmare Scenario, and happy to get some revenge later!)

Anyway, I'm not stuck on Loose Ends.  I can easily dispatch the first primary target and its escorts, but then the carrier jumps in 12k away and I can't make up half that distance before it bugs out, even using all power to engines.  I can't seem to find a good landmark to stay near where it will jump in.  I've tried killing the primary target quickly myself, then letting my wings clean up the rest of the targets themselves, but I don't know where to go to be in proximity to target 2 when it jumps in.  Could someone furnish a landmark so I could position myself in range of the target, or suggest a means of doing the mission so that when the escorts are dead you will be near the second target?  Thanks in advance!

What I did was this.

Spoiler:

Kill that ***** Eris as quickly as possible. Then kill anyone she turned. Then and only then go after the raiders. When there are only one or two raiders left turn so that the planet is slap bang in the centre of your rear view. Travel forwards until you're a few thousand metres away from your wingmen.

The carrier should appear once you get close to it's jump in location. IF that fails just wait for your wingmen to kill the raiders and it will jump in then.

DO NOT kill the carrier before disabling it. There's a bug in the mission that will prevent you completing it if you do that.

OK I am having real problems on the third mission...... Its those damn missiles.... they just take out the sitting duck..... and the stupid wing men that arrive after the battle starts (Delta Wing I think) are about as much help as a hole in the head........ I have tried to use them to protect the sitting duck or attack the enemy fighters and they do nothing, by the time they have left the hanger... the battles over.....  I have attacked the narn freighters nothing... I have sent alpha wing to attack the freighters... nothing.... alpha wing attack the fighters nothing......  tried shooting down the missiles..... nothing......  I have stupid wing men.......  I just cant stop that ship from blowing up..... I have protected the freighter and sent my other wing men to the Narn.... nothing...... It is just getting really frustrating now...... Excellent game but its really p*****g me off

How do I play multiplayer

Please help me someone........

Like has been said elsewhere, pick one of the Narn freighters. Order everyone to attack it. Hit it with everything including the kitchen sink. Once it's destroyed the Narn think better of their decision to cause trouble and surrender.

[morbiddreams]

Thanks.... I didnt actually blow one up before.... maybe I didnt do it in time or something.....  Anyway thanks a lot

[Unknown_Enemy]

yuk.

How did you pass "loose end" mission ?
I kill enris very quickly, and just as my wings and me destroy the last enemy fighter, the carrier appears at 5000, and jumps bofore my fighter is able to reach weapon range. Thus I get a mission failed.

EDIT :
Just retried the mission. I did not get the carrier to appear before the last fighter was destroyed. Then it stayed only a few seconds before jumping out.

RE-EDIT :
3rd attempt, same result. Just tried to destroy enemy wings in different order. WTF ?

[karajorma]

Check my Spoilered post above.

[Unknown_Enemy]

Right.
Just finished the campaign.

Best mission out there : Boarding Party or Nightmare scenario. I really can't say as both are some of the best I've played.

Less fun to play : Loose Ends.  To fly toward the middle of nowhere to catch up an elusive ship is not on par with other missions' quality.

As a whole, an excellent campaign I enjoyed very much to play. Thanks to all the team.

Hi there,

hope i get a little hint. I've played the "Run and Seek/Run and Hide" mission many times without luck.

Sometimes i get 2 parts scanned...but most times i get down before i can scan.

so..my simple question...how to "win" this mission ?


P.S. Sorry for my bad english, its a little rusty

[IPAndrews]

Full power to engines. Get in there and scan the required subsystems as quickly as possible. Run like hell for the extraction point. Lean on the afterburner at all times during the last part.

[aipz]

Scan the ship first...
Than stop at one point 300m from the base and try to scan the subsystems...
Switching all power to engines is also recomended...
As well as dodging enemy fire at the last 3-4 kilometres...
You may need a few tries though...

Hi there!

First off I really have to thank you for your great work, I love playing your missions in my favourite Sci-Fi universe. But, as you might already have guessed, I do have a severe problem getting through one of the RW missions.

I'm stuck at the RW mission in which you have to protect the PSI-Corps Shuttle. Taking down the Zephyrs is not a problem, but I just don't have a clue what to destroy next so the bomb doesn't blow up the shuttle. I played this mission about 14 times and spent my last 6 attempts just sitting around the Scylla, waiting for the explosion just to know WHAT I have to shoot down and WHERE this target is positioned. I start getting frustrated at this...

Mybe it's because I'm not that good at FS anyway (had to switch to "very easy"), but I like the storyline and the atmosphere of this campaign. Help me, what ship carries the bomb?!

[karajorma]

Basically you have to find the shuttle which is heading towards the psi cops and take it out before it can blow them up. Cycle through the targets until you spot an EA shuttle acting strangely. Then take it out (from a fair distance!)

[aipz]

Or disable it and let others destroy it...
You must keep at least 500m safe distance or kaboom...

[Ragesh3]

Ha! Did it!

The moment I'm in the cockpit I cycle through all the targets backwards until I reach EA crew Shuttle 1, then I order all ships to destroy this target. Once this is accomplished, I order all ships to attack EA Crew Shuttle 2 and after that, I let them destroy shuttle 3.

Meanwhile, I get behind that unknown freighter and order my wingmen to form on my wing. Taking out the zephyrs is quite easy then.

BTW: Nightmare scenario really rocks, although the game crashed bacvk to desktop when the mission was finished

Thanks, and install the 2.01 "patch".

Yes it is more fun ordering the G.O.D sat to take out the shuttle

It's hysterical when it uses the particle beam to do it.
