You guys do realize that if you stay within beam range of the Warspite that she basically kills everyhting you TAG right?  When they say all available fire power, they mean flak, beams, blobs and the kitchen sink.

Stay within 1500m and you should be golden.

The Warspite will kill everything you TAG, and you along with it, if it is between you and the Warspite, or you're between it and the warspite. :<
It also doesn't help save the Lucidity.

I learnt that to my cost.

Eh, as much as i didnt like this mission, I don't have trouble clearing it. Granted i engage with my primaries and ignore my TAGS as much as possible. as for least favorite mission, definitely the one where you rescue snipes from the NTT grall. The sensor scrambling PISSED ME OFF

[Droid803]

Thank god the designers were kind (or perhaps lazy) in that mission and you can ignore everything, fly straight, and run into the Grall

[Drogoth]

No kidding, but first playthrough, was not aware of that happy fact

[Droid803]

Yeah doing it "properly" is a pain.

[Drogoth]

Ah theres the beacon. There we go, center of radar fly.. oh **** under attack. K pop those fighters and... **** which of the three beacons was i heading for

I play this mission straight with 3D radar. I rely essentially on never engaging the basilisks myself to prevent disorientation. I just rc31 and c39 as appropriate.

I think I played that mission 10 times before I got it right... -_-

Vassago's Dirge really is awesome. If you like the concept of tagging and haven't played it yet, go over to the release thread is NOW!

Ohh I remember that...

I gave up on FS for a while when I got to that mission. I embarrassingly got stuck on Training 6 for whatever reason, I shot all the turrets off the Deimos and still no "Destroy sensors" objective complete...I'll blame it on how young I was at the time...

How about the original Playing Judas?  Command asks you to fly into the Lucifer's fighterbay, and you proceed to smash into the invisible polygon covering the bay until a) Command decides you've got it or b) you're destroyed by lots of tiny collisions.

[Flipside]

Was that the one where you had to time your approach to avoid the patrols? I hated that mission with a passion for several reasons. Much preferred the FS2 version where they give you a Mara and say 'blow **** up!'

[Solatar]

Yeah, you had to keep so far from each of Arjuna wing.  I always detested it.  A Mara with like, 800 Tempests was a much more fun mission.

[Hades]

I've always thought that mission was easy even when I was 6-7 when I first got the game. The trick is to, as soon as you hear command telling Arjuna is near, to press r and run a different route.

Personally, that part was really easy for me.  Like I said, I always had trouble getting "into" the Lucifer's fighterbay without getting shot to death.  IIRC it's not an issue in the port, because there's no invisible polygon.

[TrashMan]

I found the TAG mission OK. Never had problems finishing it, and it was interesting since it was different.

[Flipside]

It wasn't so much that Playing Judas was hard, it was just that I'd have rather been shooting at stuff

As for TAG, I did it on the second try by completely ignoring the existence of the TAG missiles, and using, I think, the Morningstar to push stuff away.

[Qent]

In "A Game of TAG" you can't get Morning Stars without cheating.

[Kolgena]

Yep, your loadout is locked.

One time one of my older pilot files corrupted itself though, and I think I had 1 Subach and no secondaries as my locked defaults. Needless to say, I was unimpressed.
