Just thought this was funny. I've read lots of things dreading the last couple mission in SM2 because Maniac is described as "useless" and known to die immediately...
So first mission in Charon (next to last I believe), very first playthrough, and I'm to hit some Nav points and destroy all capital ships... Maniac, by himself pretty much [I helped a *little* with the Snakeir] takes out ALL THREE cap ships. I nail all the fighters and cover him, but the cap ships literally all blow up before I'm done with the fighters, with the exception of the Snakeir, which was maybe 30 seconds away from dying, so I got a few volleys in (but he finished it)...
He did take some fairly heavy damage, but...yeah.
And somehow, despite only nailing the 10 fighters, I still got the Medal of Valor even though he got all 3 cap kills. I'll take it. =oP
