I love my Osaka. everything SSC with the front PSP. PSP's are only terrible if you let the AI do it. charged up they can wipe out a K in 2-3 hits. and the rate of fire means charging them doesn't slow down your rate of fire at all. and SSC every where else means fighters and even corvettes die very ...

probably that you can't get it without scripting, so they didn't care.

are we talking about the same duke's missions? all 3 times I thought of starting them, I was tasked with killing Paranid.

you would also require a lot of time and money to collect the missiles needed to do this, or the cheat script. since I prefer instant gratification over the delayed one, I just scripted them in to amuse myself.

well then it's a good thing you don't happen to be an AI in my game.

the first time I did that mission. I found out that they will just give it to you eventually, not because anyone told me, but because when I went to go after it I found they had placed it about 200 km away. they kept complaining about me not doing it, and then got fed up and just gave it to me, and ...

hmmm it seems many of you are missing the point. :P why use enough, when way too much is more fun. this isn't how I always approach situations. since that would take way too many fabs to be able to supply. :o lol it's purely just for fun. normal can be so boring, sometimes you just need the ridiculo...

oh it is, to get it to go like that, use the additional ship commands, and tell it to fire however many you want, (I choose 50), then go to the second additional ship command and do it again. if you do it with just the one, then it slowly fires a volleys of missiles, if you tell it to do it a second...

I must be special, I seem to have been the only one who seem to be able to screw up their game not once but twice by doing it. lol

I guess they fixed the Ghoul then, I remember it used to have a speed of about 12m/s. they were more of a slow moving tracker mine with a smaller radius. lol it was mostly luck if they killed anything. lol

I'm pretty sure it's just that the AI doesn't know what to do when faced with that many. it fires a couple of shots, but then literally just gives up and stops shooting. and the way that they launch, the first 4-5 of them are strung out ahead of them massed volley following behind. so the first coup...

if you have it set as the wing leader, the few times I've used Wings, I've noticed that the wing leader won't dock with thing even when the rest of the wing did.

the best thing about the Terran sectors are when you find out that your lvl 25 universal traders are off to sell a load of energy cells, to the very last Unknown Sector there. meaning traveling over 2,000 km traveling at 78m/s (one of my mistral Super frieghter UTs) which comes out at roughly 7 hour...

one very important note though. always be careful when docking ships with the Aran. to make sure you avoid accidently docking it with itself, like I just did. :oops: again. :oops: if you think it was a hidden ship before, when you do that it ceases to exist in the physical universe. it also screws u...

for the record I would like to say I'm dumb. I'm not sure how I managed to completely read the objectives wrong and not notice the part where it said scan ship debris.

I can't find anything. :( I even used the Destroy sector menu, from cycrows cheat script,, so I could see what ships are in the sector, and there is nothing but Xenon and a Scorpian Raider. those Xenon were rather persistent though. when I had reached 350 km out from the center I turned around to se...

it did? I read it over a few times and didn't see anything. so I think I was a victim of hidden in plain sight.

this is frustrating, I've found 6 out of 7, but the last one eludes me. I've set up 15 adv. sats. to help, and I think I've searched all over in about a 100km cube so far, it's hard to tell with the limitations of the map if I've missed anywhere. of course within 5 mins of trying from where I left o...

while all of those are valid methods, none of them are nearly as amusing as watching a wall of missiles heading towards a target. the AI fires a few rounds from the turrets, and then just gives up.


and oops, I was still laughing too much to think the image might have been too big.

I've just discovered the secret, on how to make sure that the AI doesn't shoot down your missiles, making them useful, and highly amusing at the same time! but mostly just amusing, and highly impractical. I call it, "You can't shoot down all 330 of them!" http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d2/fluffym...
