No wonder I couldn't kill that corvette....

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Do note, however, that the other 49 guns of the Sathanas are not as resistant to four Trebuchets as the front beam cannons are.

...or Stilettos, for that matter.

Unless, of course, you use SSLs   .

Doesn't work.

Regardless, they still are pretty resistant to Trebs.

But it's fun.    Besides, having a Sath on your killcount is pretty freakin' cool.

I got that somehow by playing retail high noon, i got promoted twice in a row   

You get two promotions? I don't think I've ever played that mission without getting the kill and I don't get squat.

Actually I think I got promoted once in Bearbaiting and then again in High Noon.

2. Hell no.

Heaven yes?

Limbo wut?

Hangala pungicingi?

One Sath gives 10,000 points. You'd go right from Ensign to Lieutenant Commander, I believe. LC requires 10,000 points. And I am going to go "farm" Sathanes, all the way to admiral. BTW, I love JAD 3. The mission with the 85 shieldless Lokis boosted me right up to Triple Ace. I had gotten my Double Ace a few missions before.

Cant remember what i got promoted for but using the BFRed via the changed weapon's cheat, i made Captain by the end of 1 playthrough of the FS2MC and reached commodore after playing through the Campaign 4 times.

Hell! I even got the Iceni on my killboard

[Commander Zane]

I get to Lt. Commander by the end of one game usually but never from killing the Sathanas.

[Snail]

The highest I got was Commander in FS1.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Highest without cheating is Lt. Jr. Grade on Very Easy.
Highest while cheating is Lieutenant on Insane.

Please stop quote embedding. you might notice how annoying it is.

Yeah. We don't need another Milk thread!

...and I call it "chain quoting".

Lt. Commander, medium difficulty without cheats.

I'm working on Commander, Switching between Hard and Medium, mostly Hard.

I forget...

Anyways, what's this topic about?

What Command, or the GTVA Security Council should've done in FS2.

[BengalTiger]

Another theory:

They should have sent a science cruiser and an AWACS, nothing more. the Shivans might have not even noticed they're invaded.

The whole fleet that did invade should have been placed near the Knossos, to give any invaders a nice, colorfull, beamy welcome.

[Snail]

For me I think Command did the absolute best they could - Because they weren't even trying to do what we think they were trying to do in the first place.

I think Command was trying to get the ETAK plans from the NTF, not just destroy the Iceni outright and crush the rebellion. If so they would probably have deployed the Colossus sooner. In fact, since Epsilon Pegasi really had nothing to do with ETAK at all (I guess there was no Ancient technology for the NTF to plunder), Command decided that they should just end the Epsilon Pegasi invasion there and then, instead of farting around and letting the NTF get Ancient records like they did in Deneb and Alpha Centauri.

Makes no sense, I know, but that's what I think.
