What mission gives out the most points?
I know playing on Insane gives you more points but I want to know what mission will give you the most points and is fairly easy.

Into the lions Den gives me 5,000 points Insane but I only can beat it one out of ten times

If you have intention of quickly reaching the grade of Admiral you can simply create a one mission campaign. ;7

The mission ends when time-elapsed = 1 and gives you the max number of points. Replay the campaign until necessary.

Er, this isn't IM; you can edit your posts.

Anyway, High Noon gives you 10,000 points (times the modifier) if you get the kill for the Sathanas (which is fairly easy to do).

Exodus. Bearbeating is difficult...if you want to destroy all main beams, flak guns and...the tiny LRed.

But that mission lasts long. What about a 1 second minicampaign? ;7

Bearbating is not that difficult, IMHO. But then, I just go straight for the forward beam cannons... and then leave him.

Re: What mission gives out the most points?
I was able to destroy all 4 beam cannons, the flak guns, the rear LRed, save the Thebes and destroy the Beleth, but jumped out before the second wave of Gemini wing arrived, and had to start again. I was unable to repeat the first result. :rolleyes:

YES! I DID IT!

The computer crashes before the game could be saved.

Re: What mission gives out the most points?
In singleplayer, just make a one-mission campaign that gives you 9 million points right away to rank up to admiral. Among the campaign missions, High Noon on insane will easily trump everything else and takes almost no work to get right.

For multiplayer, Rebel Intercept remains the obvious choice. At 3600 points per run and a very light difficulty, this mission made the PXO rankings pretty meaningless since people just played it over and over again to rank up.

Bearbaiting is indeed difficult. The BFReds have invisible weak spots that result in one-hit kills every three tries or so.
Interestingly enough, this signature is none of the following:
A witty remark on whatever sad state of affairs the world may or may not be in
A series of localized forum in-jokes
A clever and self-referential comment on the nature of signatures themselves.

Re: What mission gives out the most points?
You need to hit the arms at the right spot.  Edge-on, from the inside, is usually perfect.  Check out the Bearbaiting videos on YouTube for examples.

I just grepped the missions in the main campaign and there are a few other instances where you can get more points than you should (probably because :v: changed the ship class during the course of creating the mission).  The most dramatic example is the SC Thanatos in Apocalypse, which is worth 10000 points, the same as a Sathanas.

Ok guys you say High noon is easy what mode are you playing this in? I have it on in Insane and I get killed by the flat guns before I have a chance to destroy the 2nd beam turret.

Re: What mission gives out the most points?
In Bearbaiting, make sure you kill both flak guns (and, of course, at least two beam turrets).  Command is correct: "The more turrets we disable, the better our chances."  If you do well in Bearbaiting, it makes High Noon much easier.

Counterintuitively, it's easier to destroy the flak turrets if you shoot them from the bottom, in their blind spot.  (It has to do with the submodel placement.)  Four Trebs will knock out one flak turret.

I always play Bearbaiting repeatedly until I get all four beams.  Lately, I've been playing it until I get every single objective (the four beams, the two flak guns, the bonus gun, the three turrets on the Demon, and the Demon itself) before advancing to High Noon.  I actually haven't played High Noon with less than four beams destroyed in quite a while.

That's not high noon. That's bearbating, because IIRC you need at lest two cannons destroyed in bearbating.

Well on high noon I know if you knock out the beam turrets and live you git the kill for the Juggernaut
