To destroy it isn't too much of a problem; to disarm it before the Thebes is destroyed is a problem.

Well, loosing the Thebes isn't too bad, right? At least not like loosing the Aquitaine in Agronautica. If you loose the Aquitaine in that mission, then you're off to fly support ships in Wolf 359 :P

Man, saving the Thebes is easy.

Just kill the turret facing you on the side of the Beleth, and forget about the others until you disable it.

It leaves. What happens in the next mission if it isn't killed?

Their Finest Eight and a Half Minutes. :p

Or at least it would, if Freespace 2 had more of a branching campaign.

Don't remind me. That was the first time I died flying a Horus because I came too close to a Piranha explosion's shockwave on Very Easy difficulty. It's even worse than getting incinerated by an SRed while flying a Seth, or an SGreen while flying an Ursa. :mad:

I bet everyone here has gotten beamed before. As per above, I've been beamed twice. You can make that three if you count an instance where I got hit by the TSJ Icanus' USilv in INFR1 because I SEXPed the events wrongly and didn't triple-check.

No. Read the last sentence again.

 
Re: Maybe i just suck but...
I think I know why I have such a hard time on the mission...

The GameTap version that works flawlessly...isn't working flawlessly.

Commanding Alpha to attack the subsystem does nothing.

I cannot use the afterburners in any mission.

And I cannot get in front of the ship, since I don't have afterburners.

Are you playing on XP? Try running the game in compatibility mode.

I think you are right General, if he is using retail. As per Karajorma's FAQ

The afterburner/energy transfer system has stopped working. I hear the sound but don't go any faster. What can I do?
This had many people perplexed for a while but turned out to be due to a bug in the FS2 code. All the cases I've seen of it so far have occurred on Windows XP or Windows 2000. The problem can be solved for XP users by running FS2 in compatibility mode. Open up your FreeSpace folder and look for FS2.exe. Make a short cut for this file and position it wherever you like (Desktop or Start menu). Right click on icon and choose properties. Click on the Compatibility tab and choose which ever mode you like (I've heard that Windows 95 works best but you might find otherwise). Use the icon to run FS2 from now on.
Since Windows 2000 lacks compatibility mode I'm not certain how to solve the problem there. But running FS2_Open will also fix this problem as the bug has been corrected.

Out of curiousity, has anyone else been launched off the field by the departing Sathanas?

I have and ended up 6-8 km out

Re: Maybe i just suck but...
so how far out did you end up?

And it wasn't fun. I had finally managed to destroy all 4 primary beams and the foward flak guns. Ten the bastard jumps out and throws me off the pitch, i wasnt able to get back intime to de-beam the Beleth. Ruining an otherwise perfect mission (This was before i found out about the rear beam bonus objective

Re: Maybe i just suck but...
Well, at Command gave some useful advice for once. :p

Whenever I hear him say, "The Sathanas is engaging its subspace drives! All units, get out of the way now!" I immediately fly away. Hence, I never get launched.
