Why is your post messing up my unread messages control?

[haloboy100]

it did that to me too, weird.

[Bob-san]

It doesn't quite work like that--its basically I put the Orions well within their beam range and when the Sathanas exploded, the explosion and debris started to take out the Orions. Unfortunately, debris is random--I've played a number of missions where the debris messes up ships I was supposed to protect.

[Mobius]

Sometimes, debris of the Repulse hit the Colossus and bring the integrity down to 79-80%.

[Bob-san]

Not exactly what I was talking about, but some debris causes problem. Enif Station is prone to debris, to start the list. Any time you want to defend something against ships bigger then bombers, debris becomes a problem that's unaddressed in 90-some% of missions. They just don't do enough to prevent debris damage, if anything is even possible!

[Mobius]

Unlike asteroids, debris are ignored by the AI. And their motion is a problem, indeed.

oh...

I should stop trying to see if there is an hidden storyline then

Yeah. This is what happened the last time some over eager Alpha 1 attempted to defy destiny.

And, as I posted in that topic:

I say we edit the missions, not to introduce new goals, but instead to bring in the SCP Novikov, a time-traveling ship whose very purpose is to preserve the timeline by whatever means necessary.

So, when the player saves the Nebtuu, in warps the Novikov, and blows it up. It could also fix warpdrives, kill the player, etc.


It would take tons of extra work, unless the Novikov was an existing ship. You gotta admit it's a fun concept though.

Right on!

No more missions that just won't end. No more plotholes. No more "No debriefing for missions so-and-so".

Back on topic, there is one LEGIT way to kill the Iceni.  During the 1st mission of the 1st SOC loop, just let the Vasudans and asteroids rip Bosch and his puny ship to pieces.  Of course, the NTF have you executed for finding you as a GTVA spy and failing the mission...but hey Bosch is dead right?   

Oh, yes this is my first post in this forum

Now THAT is one way to die for a cause!

[Bob-san]

Too bad you can't go off and simply jump away to the Vasudan destroyer after the Iceni dies. Too bad GTVA's agenda was to let Bosch live until he proves ETAK works.

[colecampbell666]

ETAK was proven successful before the Iceni died.

[AlphaOne]

ETAK may have proven succesfull but then again the GTVA wants both bosch and his etak device intact! At least that is what i believe!

Also who sais they did not want the Iceni as a ship? Why go after just one thing when the whole packege could be thet much more sweet!

[firzenr]

Yeah? One time in the first mission where the collosus is first seen I blew it up.

And nothing happened.

[firzenr]

if i ever make a campaign, whenever something happens, i'm just gonna make command say "YOU FRAKKING CHEATER!!!" and blow up Alpha one

 

[colecampbell666]

They didn't order you to disable the Iceni at any time.

I don't know if this has been done but,
firenzr!

The Colossus was first deployed at Enif Station.  The NTF Iceni wasn't there, it was the NTCv Hawkwood that you saw get wasted.

Command does order you to disable the Iceni during the 2nd and 3rd missions, but you're always too late to stop it from jumping (that plus the engines are super armored).

[wtf_cl0vvn]

The GTVA is primitive, it will never be able to face the true Shivan power. But of course, FreeSpace is a game...and in a game, you must have a chance of victory

Ever play Commandos? 

Command obviously knew something about the Iceni...why would they let it escape once, then try to blow it up later, then order you to salvage it?

Unless the rebel saboteurs on board the Colossus weren't really rebels...


OH SHI-
 

Wtf_cl0vvn knew too much...
