They remind me of Chemistry... only more interesting.

"This is Magnesium..."

You don't get your wings...

You can skip all but the last one and get them.

 


So THAT'S why i don't have my wings. Doh! And i already finished the entire FS2 Campaign with NO wings.

[BlueFlames]

That's why Alpha 1 couldn't save Capella.  He's not frakking qualified to fly! 

[Stormkeeper]

Blame the people who let him fly without his wings! *points at Command*

They even gave him an elite squadron!

[S-99]

Retards can go real far once applied. And that says enough about all of us playing fs2 being the only people in the universe who can press the retry button after they die on a mission. I mean, we see if we can survive flying through a capship beam, and well, we know very well what happens if you don't get your wings now

[Stormkeeper]

-sigh- No other way to get my wings, is there?

[jr2]

I imagine if you knew what value to change in your pilot file.... ?

[Gamma_Draconis]

They should teach you how to avoid capital ship beams in a TSM exercise. Probably 25% of my deaths were from anti fight beams and anti capital ship beams.

[jr2]

Impossible.  The only way is to see or hear the beam warm up, and know what the target is going to be, and avoid crossing the line between the target and attacker... if it's AAA, then jink (erratic movements + bursts of AB).

Non retail version, mine's FSO.

I got hit by a helios once. I was infront of the Ursa's secondary at the wrong time, the wrong place.

Strangely enough, in Inferno, I blocked a capital ship missile and my shields were barely scratched...

[Vasudan Commander]

Anti-fighter beams are difficult to dodge, but not impossible. They target you on your last known trajectory about 1 second before the volley. They fire 3, my easiest way of dodging them is pull up, pull down, pull up. That way you down lose sight of your target.

Or you can stay out of range and blow the crap out of it with maxims and trebuchets.

At least they are consistent in their stupidity...

Just once i wish that stupid 'command' guy would've changed shifts, and instead someone else could give 'commands'....always stating the bloody obvious.

"Incoming jump signature, hostile configuration"

NO SH1T SHERLOCK ! I thought shivans were friendly configuration !!

Actually, you can use the threat indicator (the little blinking circle above the one that flashes when you get a missle lock) to tell when a beam is firing at you. When you see it blink as well as hear a beam warming up, you know it's after you.

lulz.

You know that mission where the Big C took down the Repulse?

"Incoming jump signature, friendly configuration!"

I actually mentally replaced the friendly with hostile.

You can break off a beam's attack if you're fond of ship hugging. Turn so that the ship is between you and the beam. Of course, this is usefull only if you know you won't turn into another beam turret.

Done that before, corse in my case it was intentional. thought i had invulnerability on and decided to try a new way to fly intercept.

didn't know that, thats quite useful.

I do that a lot while intercepting. Did it twice on PI's Deshret mission.

[Vasudan Commander]

I've had a few problems with anti-fighter beams shooting at me even when im on the other side of the turret. They're firing beams through their own ship ! 

[Stormkeeper]

Obvious hax. Lol.

that happens. . try playing revenge:final conflict on 3.6.9 and you'll get capships firing trough themselves with every form of beam
