Play BP multi. We're working pretty hard on making sure stuff is very, very challenging on higher difficulties.

Yeah, see, that's part of the problem beyond where I am. Anything balanced for QD is not meant for mortal men.

And more to the point, I'm not saying I want a challenge out of the game. (A lot of the time I don't.) I just don't want to be bored.

QD doesn't play BP multi. Most of the missions there have been designed by new FREDders who signed up out of enthusiasm - the classic multi crowd would never have designed so many capship command dogfights.

And fortunately (in more general terms, not just for BP) we still have newcomers to the community to test on and make sure difficulty is staying under control.

Is Quantum Delta really INSANE? Just to see how exactly insane this guy is, how about a challenge in multiplayer, and let's see how many seconds I last?

[Kolgena]

I've never seen him in action, but he has some mission walkthroughs and LP's posted up on youtube.

A few years ago he also wrote up a massive dogfighting guide that was filled with deep wisdom.

[Enigmatic Entity]

I find dying 5 times on a mission removes immersion, especially if you start getting pissed because some stupid ship decided it would attack you this time only, etc. Which is why new campaigns are played on easy...(I'd like to see someone finish the last mission of WoD on Insane )

I saw QD's Tube videos of an MP dogfight, or was that from someone else's ship? Anyway, if you're playing him, when you turn around to face him all you see is lazorz, missiles and red just before he flies out of view (and you blow up).

The final mission of WoD on insane isn't actually that difficult, the only thing that incereases is the turret ROF.

Where is the guide?

[Aurora Paradox]

I usually play on a medium difficulty.  If I'm really stuck on a mission I'll drop the difficulty down a notch.

[StargateSpankyHam]

I can usually tolerate medium, though I do end up backing it down to easy if the mission starts kicking my butt (such as Slaying Ravana, Bearbaiting, Forced Entry, Aristeia, Delenda Est...you get the idea).

I could probably take on hard - but only in War in Heaven, and only if I hug the Karunas for the whole mission.

[Zacam]

Insane. (In the Membrane). This includes with the Fury AI.

I don't always win, but it's a lovely thrill.

[MadCat015]

Mostly easy...

On High Noon, i'd use Insane (in mission simulator) and the GTVA Colossus is down in three minutes... Tone it down to Hard, and i afterburned like there ain't tomorrow to put those two Sath beams out of commission. Those beams punch a crazy amount of damage.

On Bear Baiting, i could destroy all four beam cannons and two long range heavy flaks (mostly on Easy, on Medium only beam cannons go down not the flaks). God, i hate flaks. 

And of course, Insane on In to The Lions Den is much fun!

Waow, that was the only mission where I had to turn down the difficulty. I just couldn't get through that turret screen, either I moved to fast and kept crashing myself into walls, or I moved too slow and kept, well, being shot at.

...and then running out of time or getting lost in that stupid growth hormone eating - thing. Poor Crystal, died so many times. But, I guess she's used to it, she dies 3 times every time some one completes "Into the Lion's Den", or worse, leik 20 in JAD
