| This mission has no
narrative. I could not finish this one to save my life.
Something always went wrong. Three separate times I had the
"perfect" mission going when some random thing would ruin
it. I had...
Once the computer locked up while I was doing very well, I had eliminated one corvette, and the other was falling rapidly. Another time, I was past the first corvette, and two gunboats decided to fire missiles IN UNISON! When have you ever seen THAT happen? They were pretty close too, and I was hit by both missiles. The last straw for me was the best run I had had at this mission. The Y-Wings managed to not get themselves killed, disabled one of the corvettes, and worked the second one over pretty well to boot. I ignored the first corvette, and went after the one they were attacking. The combined force of the Y-Wings and me dropped it rather quickly. I then eliminated all but one gunboat from each group, leaving the remaining gunboat alive, but damaged, to prevent the reinforcements from showing up, simple stuff, right? Now I turned my attention to the DISABLED corvette, what can it do to me, right? Well, it figured out a way to do something, because during my attack run, my engines cut out. I mean they just DIED. The astromech said it would take a full minute and a half to fix them. How did they die? I'll never know. I wasn't hit by anything. My shields were still up at full strength, and there was negligible hull damage. The best I can figure is that the game thought I collided with the corvette, which I didn't. I was a good 20 meters away from the thing when it happened. I actually survived for a while. I was just sitting in place shooting down the missiles the gunboats were firing at me. Eventually, they decided to try lasers, which I couldn't do a thing about. I just sat there, helpless as my ship was blown apart. I didn't even shut the computer down properly, I was so pissed. I just said "to hell with it" and stomped off to bed. If I ever feel insane enough to try THAT mission again, I'll post the results here, but I just don't think that's going to happen. |
