RE: Cap ship strikes. . . smart or suicide?

<t> once you get to the xanthras sector, there are unknown ships drifting and the game consistently crashes as soon as these are attacked(can tell because the fighters give attack message and it crases), milo might have posted on how to fix it, idk but i was just reading a thread about tht and it ws...

RE: Crashing mission preventing further play

yea, i think most, if not all people who play this experience this, and it seems to be triggered, as has been stated, by the unknowns being fired upon

RE: Cap ship strikes. . . smart or suicide?

<t> i kno about the weak spots in hulls and all that, but even hitting the weak spot of a volnaris with ASM's isnt a easy kill, whereas i lost my cruiser in one mission, after only suffering minor damage to the ship. . . whereas i can survive a strike with a destroyer. Interesting with the PDB's, an...

RE: Transferring to destroyer command as Lt. Cmdr

The transfer button should only be greyed out on hostile ships and LCA's. Anything else you can REQUEST a transfer to, but you have to be the right rank. Maybe reinstall the game?

Cap ship strikes. . . smart or suicide?

<t> Sometimes i like to leave my cap ships behind and go back to they days of fighters. More often than not, i join the attack squadron so i can practice finding the weak spots, and kill some of a cruiser's speed bumps called frigates. It seems that the hostile AI is either better at cap strikes, or...

RE: most effective way of taking out mines

<t> IMO the best way to take out the mines is a full load of SRM's and lasers.<br/> fire 3 SRM's (no more) and it will have around 1 health, altho once they had like 16 because my SRM's were damaged. . .<br/> then just take it out with lasers so if ur in an Eagle class you can take out 8 mines on yo...

RE: Broadsword Torpedoes not fired on by PDB's

do you mean that the PDB's didnt fire at all?
because if so, its cuz they are all on the top of the ship and cannot target things unless they are&nbsp;1 degree(estimate)&nbsp;above YOUR heading on the z-axis and, even then, as Boyd said, it might get thru

RE: starship operation questions

With jumping ships, the best thing to do is look over where hostile forces are before the mission, because usually the ships run to mommy

RE: Tactics to avoid getting nailed by anti ship missiles?

<t> From my experience as a bomber pilot and as a cap ship pilot, it seems like the AI has an advantage whenever ASM's are involved wether the Ai is using them or they r bein used on the AI.
