Clash of the Titans II - Very Hard

All my wingmates are dead. My convoy is bleeding from its ass after being raped by squadron after squadron of Shivan bombers. I use all my ordinance to stop the Shivan cruisers that engage the Lemnos. The Lemnos goes down. All the Lamda transports go down, thousands of Marines die. The medical frigates go down. Half my subsystems are  ****ed. My own hull integrity is compromised. I do what any true Klingon warrior would do - I stare down the face of death and die gloriously. I fly my Hercules Mark II straight into the Capellan star as its going nova. At two seconds to impact, I am shot down by four Nahemas and four Nephilims. I fail the mission...

and to top it all off, I'm out of goddamn Guinness.

Most of that sounded like the basic scenario of 'when things start to go bad, they're really gonna go bad', but with the last line you won all my sympathy. 'A Guinness a day keeps the doctor away', as the old proverb goes, or something.

I think the scenario properly demonstrates why pilots are not allowed to drink while on duty.  They pick poor fighters for the mission at hand, likely a bad loadout to boot, and don't pay attention to their incoming fire/missile lock warning indicators.  Not to mention that they end up pasting some prosthetic to their forehead and start talking in gibberish.  Qapla'!

Terrible shame about the Guinness, regardless.

That's actually quite ironic, as I was ****ing trashed the night before when I started the first half of Clash of the Titans II. Aelous Anti-fighter beam friendly fire is a mother****er.

Ya never see what it's called in-game... Even in the simulator. Some people call it "INCOMING TRANSMISSION." ;)

It's called Apocalypse . The previous mission is called Clash of the Titans II .

Also , when you "save Capella" , you get a 'no debriefing for mission apocalypse' .

So don't question my glorious knowledge  :p

I can question your boundless and unparalleled knowledge. If you "Save Capella" you do not get a "no debriefing for mission apocalypse". You get "no debriefing for mission sm3-xxx" What you do get, is a bit of writing at the top of the debriefing saying "Apocalypse."

2 seconds before impact? I thought you were dead when it reached 3 seconds. i.e when I was returning to base with 7 seconds left, I died after about 3.

What I don't get is how there are idiots out there who think "Incoming Transmission" is the name of the mission. It displays that before ANY red alert mission... have these morons never played FS1? I suppose they think the last mission of that is also called Incoming Transmission? And that so is the one where you warp in to see the Eva departing? Use your brains, people!
