You could just go after the Nav subsystem right? Does the same thing, and it probably has lower armor than its total of the Iceni's three engine subsystems.

That was a bug. It should be fixed now.

Playing the mission for the first time, you really won't know that disabling the Iceni is a failed objective later on.

Too f**king right! Command never lets you RTB
A1-"command - Ive done the impossible and disabled the Iceni. Command can i Return to base?"
C-"..."
A1-"Command? Hello? Is anyone there? Can I RTB yet?
C-"..."
A1="F**k it! I'm Returning To Base/"
debriefing
C-"You disabled the iceni against all odds of the universe. Good Work. However, you Returned To Base with out permission so we are going excecute you for that. Have a nice day

        Why do people waste time breaking a mission and then get disappointed when the broken mission doesn't do anything? Do people think Volition ladened every little mission with easter eggs on the off chance someone would cheat and do something contrary to what was scripted?

To add on to Akala's last post, please bear in mind that FS2 was made in under a year. started making it right after FS1 was released, and despite the fact that they finished ahead of schedule, it is pretty evident that the end missions were sped up.

The only Easter egg I know that exists in FS2, which was deliberately put there by , is at the end of Surrender, Belisarius!.

What was that? Command asking you if you have engine problems if you stay to watch Iota dock with the Psamtik?

[Titan]

heh... i just sit and watch, every time i play. I a fricking guardian angel to refugees. and slightly stalkerish...

What was that? Command asking you if you have engine problems if you stay to watch Iota dock with the Psamtik?

Yeah, that and everything after that. That is the only time Command shoots such a snappy, informal question at the player.

[eliex]

Maybe Command was trying to check whether their new ensign was a "yes man" or a "no man."

The names of the second and the third mission are references to history of the Romans' conquest of Britain.

Boadicea - or Boudica, with more likely correct spelling - was the queen of a tribe called Iceni in East Anglia. She led an uprising of several tribes against Romans, and the Briton tribes used chariots pretty extensively in their warfare as anyone who played Rome: Total War should know. Also, the uprising was timed when the governor of the province was occupied in fighting elsewhere in Britain (referenced in Roman's Blunder I think)

Plus there was that whole deal of the Roman general raping and killing Boadicea's daughters and husband which led her on the warpath...
