Yeah, mate, it's just a game. Skip the mission, take a deep breath, have a wank, drink some beer, whatever helps you de-stress. And play it again.

[TrashMan]

It's just an optional mission.

Skip it, cheat, lower the difficulty or use "fixed" tables.

[Jeff Vader]

Yeah, and the mission has a pretty crappy design. I'm not sure where I read it (might have been the Wiki), but people have failed the mission when they went after the asteroids and the Sobek and took out at least 75% of the enemy fighters/bombers, and sometimes people have succeeded by not doing ****.

Luck has a lot to do with this mission, and seriously, this is one of those times when it might be good to throw all the manliness away and just skip the mission or lower the difficulty.

(Note to self: If dayle does decide to stick with the game, keep him far away from Procyon Insurgency. )

Or which one was it, Crossing The Styx or Aeos Affair which you only flew a Ulysses and spent 12 minutes each mission solo dogfighting endless waves of Shivans.

[Dilmah G]

CtS was the one with the Uly wasn't it?

[Commander Zane]

Either way I quit playing it after doing the same thing for the fifth mission in a row.

Not just PI, he has to refrain from every single mod we think is good. Except maybe Derelict and Warzone.

It's funny how different missions block different people. I never had any problems with this one, but Slaying Ravana always takes me forever, and the OP apparently managed to get past that one just fine. The next SOC mission, though, I've always found pretty obnoxiously tough.

But yeah, everyone gets hung up on a mission sometime. All part of the game!

[Androgeos Exeunt]

I understand what you mean. A lot of people here say that they see the Phoenicia go boom, but I've never ever seen that happen on my watch. It always manages to jump out on my end.

And then there's Into the Lions' Den, where a lot of people were rammed by Sathanas 03. I'm not one of them.

The only difficult thing about R & R is protecting the Hinton, which is absolute Hell. Roughly 50% of the time, I fail to do so.

Derelict had a mission here and there that occasionally made my blood boil.

[TopAce]

I just keep attacking the asteroids, and maybe some bombers if they happen to be nearby, and I pass the mission most of the time at the first attempt on Medium.

Of course I passed that mission on Very Easy the first time around when I was a noob. I don't think playing a game on the easiest difficulty is something to be ashamed of. No one asks about it, and even if he asked about it, he just wouldn't care.

[Rodo]

Like Rome, all roads lead to Freespace 2

If he was here, then he'll be back..... but only if he's not already back.

[Commander Zane]

lol the post before yours is gone now.

[Dragon]

I think that you should try FSPort, Dayle.
It will allow you to know FS2 background, not to mention FS1 main campaign is a bit easier. (and IMHO has better storyline than FS2).

[Lucika]

I love you so much right now

[IronForge]

Man I really dislike ragequitters. Come on you're QQing because of ONE broken mission? And you would rather delete the whole damn game than lower the difficulty?

[Dilmah G]

Now, now, let's not tear into him, this game benefits from every fan, even if some uphold their pride in different ways to others. I disapprove of his response to stress as well, but we gave the man some help.


Plus, Lucika got pwned for posting something similar

[Vip]

Actually, I was playing that mission just recently, on Medium, and it took me several dozen times to even complete it, nevermind saving the Hinton. Either the Sobek destroyed the Iceni or the huge-ass number of asteroids mauled it to death. And that's coming from a person who has been playing FS2 for the past 5 years.

[Snail]

lol

[TopAce]

I recently replayed the main campaign, and I completed it fairly simply on Medium.
