Uhm,seems fire-beam at will.Destroying the turret isn't enough.
Then,order you squadmates to attack the Cato and move where the Hawkwood will jump in.Your wingmen destroy the Cato,then you have opportunity to destroy at least one turret on the Hawkwood.Seems strange but try it! ;)

Eck, it just got weirder. I played it once more and the Cato fired around 15 beams at once, and destroyed everything. Am I doing something wrong? :wtf:

I think it'd be a great  :v: practical joke if it were one. Sort of like how we play the game way too much and how when you get all of the medals and the highest rank that it tells you to go read a book.
Every pilot's goal is to rise up in the ranks and go beyond their purpose to a place of command on a very big ship. Like the colossus; to baseball bat everyone.

Now I remember...In my mod I had a Njolnir firing two OrbDefGreens at once(a special beam I've created to represent the orbital Defenses of a planet,max range 24000 meters).It happened because I put both fire-beam and "beams active by default".

What do you do?  Extract the missions, and change them in FRED to make your shive invulnerable?

heh, it's so easy to modify the game it's almost easier than just using a cheat code.

Mjolnir. tyvm :)



its impossible to beat the full campagin on insane.


That satement is in fact 100% wrong. in FS2 it is ungodly harder, but FS1 was actually relatively simple (though i did break 2 joysticks in the month it took).



And for the record, it was with a new pilot specifically to track kill, and therefore no cheats could be used :p (and i didnt modify the missions or game either).

Yes, I noticed this.  While FS1 is beatable on Insane, FS2 insane seems completely impossible.

I tried playing FS2 on insane and I got up to the mission 'Lion at the Door'

FFreak, have you given up on the FreeSpace Overhaul campaign? You haven't mailed me in a while...?

No I haven't, I'm just really, really busy.  I'm active duty in the Coast Guard, a more than a full time job, plus I'm taking 14 credits including Calc III, Physics II, C/C++ Programming for Engineers, and a humanities course.  As you can imagine, I'm pretty swamped for time.  Plus, I built my fence last weekend.  I broke down on Wednesday and played a little, but I haven't had time to work on it at all hardcore.  I really just have some ideas on how to tighten up the Clash of the Titans mission, and that will be it for FS1, then I will work Silent Threat, then the new campaign itself.  I really don't think I'll have much time to work on it until Thanksgiving break, then winter break.  So, it'll be slow, but I'll hit you up when I'm ready to work on the campaign, I promise!  :)

If you want, you can work on Silent Threat and I'll tell you my ideas on how to renovate the final mission.

LOL!, its Imposible to pass some mission on hard or Insane...

Like "The Kings Gambit"... most of then Bombering missions...

But I always play the mission to beat the Sathanas on Insane to get more points :P

"Slaying the Ravana" is also posible on Insane... just Run to the rear of the Sobek and wait until the Sobek clear all enemy fighters, then go back and finish the Ravana :P, all wingmen will be dead for sure, its hard to survive the way to the Sobek :P

Which one's King's Gambit?

I did all of what you did during those missions, as well.  The Sobek is your friend.   :nod:

For me it was the complete reverse.  Beating FS2 on insane, while difficult, was much easier than beating FS1 on insane.  "Good Luck" in particular took ages to beat.

Although this might have been because I insisted on completing all the objectives and getting all the medals. :) I know that COTT would have been easier if I hadn't destroyed the Tantalus or kept the Bastion's hull above 35.

The only :v:-made single-player campaign mission I haven't beaten is Secrets Revealed, the last mission in Silent Threat.  I'm not even sure it's possible on insane; I can't even get into firing range of the Jotunheim.
