Hello

I have problem with cutscene after mission  "The Dragon Awakes".
This cutscene have no end! After 2 (game's time) hours I have this:

It's supposed to fire beam cannons at the Orion. Pretty much like the one above. And destroy it. Try to create a new pilot, or adjust the difficulty level for the mission?

[kimo]

I found problem, but this is a bit... strange.
Orion had been destroyed only if i switched off time compresion

[Darius]

Beam weapons do damage every frame, which means the damage doesn't register if the time compression is set too high.

[ShadowGorrath]

You used time compression... Yea... Didn't think of that. Just that you see- this cinematic doesn't take long. Second: beams get weaker with time compression on, and Darius beat me with saying that.

[Stormkeeper]

... Can't you just blow the orion up?

[TopAce]

Beam weapons do damage every frame, which means the damage doesn't register if the time compression is set too high.

Yeah? I've never had that problem though I have never gone above 8x time compression.

kimo: Was the Lucifer firing its beams?

[kimo]

Yes TopAce. 3 or 4 times. With normal time compression, Orion has been destroyed, with max - no.

[Stormkeeper]

Like i said, since killing the Orion is the trigger, can't you just blow it up?

[eliex]

Whenever I replay BP, I just cheat to kill off the Orion faster.

[kimo]

OK, easy guys. Lucifer annihilated Orion. Problem has been solved.

[Aardwolf]

Is the beam damage multiplied by the compression like it should be?

Also, why would you use time compression?

[kimo]

With max time compression beam cannons are weaker than with normal speed.

Why I used time compression? Because I'm a bit impatient

[ShadowGorrath]

That cinematic wasn't long. Around a minute or so.

I remember seeing it for the first time, thinking what it was gonna actually be.

[kimo]

Yes, but I was sure that it will be long cutscene. OK, I was wrong.

kimo, you can press F4 in-game to see how many fighters the Orion spews. It's just a fraction of footage taken from a dead Hermes Escape Pod, remember?
