question prompted by replaying WC2 - is there a defined military protocol for the order of ranks vs other titles applied to one's name? for instance, would an MD with the rank of captain be called captain doctor so and so or doctor captain so and so?

percy: if you're going to use top gun as a source*, at least read the credits and cite callsigns from the actual pilots who helped out. real pilots don't pick their own callsigns, their flightmates do, and if they try to call themselves something "cool" and "bad"**, it ends up backfiring big...

i would also like to volunteer as a playtester, should such be needed.

this mission, right? a couple things you might try: don't autopilot to nav 1 from the minefield - set max speed, fly manually, and punch 'burners at 12k or so out go claw -> nav 2 -> claw -> nav 1 to try to take care of the fighters before the transports get activated into the mission

motti: it is very possible to drop ~17 talons/dralthi/etc. you just may not be able to do it yet, especially if you're flying a stiletto. autotracking helps, so do fusion guns (one salvo of four fusions tends to take out almost any fighter), so do missiles, so does the shelton slide...

note that 40k for 17 is very likely a bounty - "this ship has 16 ships defending it". i.e. you only have to ice one particular bandit to get your cred and then you can bug out. 17 for 300k sounds like a defend - "eliminate this wing" ie kill em all. (or in the words of colonel halcyon, "no...

as far as i know, there's no piece of gear that you can only buy at one place save the tachyon guns. everything else can be got multiple places, just a matter of if they have it in stock.

you might be more likely to find advanced ship gear at a more military location...

kappa: me and 19 kamekh

tayla moves after your (first) mission for her.

can you make it a semi-one-way jump that only works back to eden after it's been gone through from eden once?

wait for a bit... mine pauses for about 30 seconds on that file

that's not the only MP ref in the remake... meanwhile, this does make the kaydence missions much harder... especially the one where you have to defend a drayman against awacs birds and it turns hostile on you... (am i the only one who saw "awacs" and expanded it to 'airborne warning and...

that happened to me too, both with that and with the original OMG STOLE TEH GUN cutscene.

all i know is that no flight of demons has killed me yet, while i died once on the last mission of rf against 10+ steltek'ed frog fighters (and the 4xsteltek'ed centurion, but he was dead in short order)

nastier than demons is 10 steltek-armed frog fighters

get a rear turret - they come with free tractor beam.

you need to buy tractor capability for the mount, *then* equip a tractor beam to it. by the way, were i you, i wouldn't do it. a centurion works best with four tachs/fusions and dual protorp lauchers. leave the tractors to the rear - the return on space salavage grabbing is not worth losing...

giving the afterburner command if you have no afterburner means max thrust if there's no afterburner for sale where you're landed, perhaps you need to look elsewhere...
