Sort of like a naval battleship simulator, But in space....... ITs one of those games thats pretty unique, Thats the simplist way i can put it. I'm sure theres a demo somewhere.

[AlphaOne]

umm actualy i played through the whole game its sort of a space combat/rpg/fs kind of thing.

some of the effects there ar absolutely marevelous.

[NGTM-1R]

I could never find the patience for Nexus after it kept killing me on one mission no matter my efforts; I got particularly annoyed after discovering the majority of online walkthroughs didn't seem to match my version.

I probably ought to go back and give it another chance, I suppose, but I don't know if I have the space left on my HD anymore...

[AlphaOne]

which mission was that??? i fineshed the game 3 times alraedy !

[Colonol Dekker]

I've finished it too, .......
I call it a battleship simulation in space because you never directly control any of the ships, (but its not an RTS) you just assign orders to the ships in your fleet and they act according to selectable behaviour ie aggressive, defensive.

The last mission is visually stunning and iff your PC anint up to sped then theres no point playing it with features turned off......

Defending the Colossus while Admiral Condescendingly Incompetent goes off and gets his butt kicked. I came very, very close the first time I played it; but the Angelwing got blasted by the opposing battleship moments before I would have blown it back to the Stone Age.

Successive attempts I did progressively worse each time. Which makes no sense, but that's what happened.

EDIT: It's oddly like my continuing attempt to beat XCOM-2 in that fashion. I've got very technically competent at the game by now...but the game still defies me because it reacts to players of my level of skill by upping its level of difficulty even more.

[Colonol Dekker]

Tell me you rushed one of the little destroyers power their siege cannon before they actuallt fire the thing 

[NGTM-1R]

I did; unfortunately a little too slow and the shield on the Colossus went down, so I finished blasting the destroyer and turned on the battleship to keep it away from the Colossus.

Successive attempts have gone to hell much earlier.

Are the Brutus and Sparta still alive and kicking?

also try and upgrade the guns. I have no problem what so ever taking down enemy battleships with the angelwing.
Dont relly too much on missiles cuz well you run out of them.

also increase the speed of the angelwing to actualy get to the destroyer faster. the slow it to normal and overload your guns.

It should work. Also are the Brutus and sparte still alive and kicking? Did you upgrade the destroyers and the colossus?? What about the engines shields battery pack generators of the angelwing??

[Colonol Dekker]

At the Colossus mission, you can only upgrade the two destroyers though IIRC. The Avalanche is your ***** but not your willing ***** and the battleship isn'ay part of ye' fleet.

[AlphaOne]

Doh....forgot about that was thinking something a few missions after this one. Sorry though. But still that mission is relatively simpple. No ofence please cuz there was non intended. Its been a while since i looked over the Nexus but still remember some things. Regardless you can actualy stick those two destroyers to help protect the Colossus and the Avalanche and go on ahead with the Angelwing or with both angelwing and avaanche. I remember gooing at first with the angel wing then after taking out a destroyer i think wen ahean with the avalanche.


Oh and dont swet it this is one of those easy missions I cant wait to see how you get past some...ummm....dificult missions. This is not spoiling its just a warning.

[Colonol Dekker]

If you want some practice, Therres a kind of Skirmish mode accessible from the multiplayer game host scree, Theres a game type with AI controlled enemies, just give yourself Sh1tloads of cash and spend spend spend!!

[AlphaOne]

Umm never managed to get that working though cant figure out why??!!!

It doesnt matter what matters is the fact that I would love to see a mod of FS for Nexus i mean with the whole beams and stuff. That would be like so awesome.

*starts drooling and daidreaming*

gooing to nag a few people here if sposible! *hopes he doesnt get fed to Carl for this*

[Colonol Dekker]

The mod set is pretty cool to do, the weapons are handled in an excel spreadhseet, and the models are .lwo.

I cant handle the stress of managing a whole mod, but if anyones interested?

[AlphaOne]

well i would be more then happy to help but alas mi modding sucks big time basicly i'm useless at this!

That doesnt mean I will stop nagging people about it!

Oh and it certainly doesnt mean i will stop learnidn how to create models.

[Colonol Dekker]

All the models exist already, Its just conversion and assigning light points to them (i believe thats how subs are positioned in LW/nexus engine) Then generating an AI Script for each ship class, + The missions themselves.

Anyone with the game, just read the editor instructions, its got all youve ever needed..

[AlphaOne]

umm why not put the models in the Original campaign?? I mean create a duplicate then replacing the ships with the FS ones.

Oh well C D would you like dooing a conversion of the Fs to Nexus??

[Colonol Dekker]

Umm, nope i got to much RL on the fly. Im just happy to post crap here when i should be working.
