Questions x2
on: December 29, 2011, 05:33:52 am
Dear all

Firstly, congratulations and thanks to the BP team for a pair of fantastic mods. SOme of the best I've ever played for any game.

Secondly, a technical question. On Missions such as Deals in Shadows, where I have to follow a faint signal, no dot appears in my radar. I have to find the signal ship manually, which can take ages. Is this a known bug, or do I have to play with the graphics settings?

Finally, does anyone have a good strategy for killing the gunship in the GEF gauntlet at the end of Deals in Shadows? I can kill the fighters, but the gunship shreds my ship as soon as I get within its range.

Many thanks

Matadore

Your radar range is too short. You can find the key for cycling radar range from Options -> Control config -> Misc (press F2 to enter the options screen).

That gunship gauntlet boss is a death trap to approach and will always win in a brawl.

If you really need it dead, there's a blind spot on the ship where its death bullets can't target you, and the missiles that get launched are ineffective. Stay at standoff distance (your Mauls have a nice range) and victory will be yours.

i always thought the mission was designed so that they keep coming until they kill you if you don't jump out.  i guess a replay is in order.

Well I assumed you got a medal or something for killing them all, but I guess it is just an iron man challenge to see how many you can kill if they keep coming. Thanks for the tip Darius! Will try it now.
