Again, the problem with my version is that the terminal won't let me pick any other ship than the Dragon... Furthermore, the Flashpak is listed as a "Locked" weapon, so I can't unselect it and replace it with a Torpedo.

And once you learn how to fly it, it may very well be the best ship in the game... It does require some adjustement - you have to attack ships differently and possibly use a bit of rolling, but once you're used to it the Bearcat is very fun to fly.

Default mode... So probably number 2. I prefer to handle rolling myself, although admittedly having a joystick could make things easier.

Mad? Not at all. Just because I was close to pulling my hair out doesn't mean I was mad, does it? :p As previously stated, now that I've found this trick, I do think the minelaying mission is easier than the Snakeir mission. I've just finished Episode 1's losing path (on Ace as well), and...

I never said that the minelayers would do their job very quickly... just quickly enough to give you time to flee. It's a bit like that Backlash mission in the Ep.4 losing path. If you're quick enough, you can destroy the fighters and the three capships (Fralthra, Ralatha, Ralatha) before the...

It does seem to be impossible with the version I have. I even tried turning invulnerability on, putting full power to the weapons, and hitting Ella for a long time with both guns and missiles... But the damage meter just won't raise.

If you have 5 Clydesdales when you reach Nav 3 and destroy the three Sarthas there quickly, the minelayers will be able to complete their mission before the Kilrathi ships reach your position. Then quickly autopilot and you're done. If you're not quick enough and let the ships at Nav 3 appear...

In Venice 3, go to Nav 1 and clear it, then immediately set course for the Tiger's Claw, autopilot, land, and face the wrath of a very pissed Colonel Halcyon. :p (Thanks to the author of WCSAV for pointing this out.)

Or, like other people have done, you could hide in the mountain path to reach the fault. ;)

Currently replaying Standoff on Ace... I have to ask, what was the point behind making the minelaying mission so impossibly difficult? Forcing the player to play the Sao Paulo mission? In any event, I think the difficulty should have been lowered a little (hey, you keep asking for negative...

Thanks, that could come in handy.

Mark Riley, the same guy who does Trigger. Anyway, that's hilarious. It sounds like a well-hidden simulator easter egg. :D

NinjaLA - yep. If you fail to destroy Ayer's Rock in WC2, Thrakhath does it himself... Emperor : "My… heir. Is it true that you failed to capture a prototype of the Morningstar... ...and you also personally destroyed the main base of the Mandarins?" Thrakhath : "The Mandarins were about to...

My problem isn't the fact that he only adds one torpedo... My problem is that he doesn't mention he only enhances the Vindicator. Anyway, it can be useful if you get the Mace... But otherwise it's pretty useless. The capships really shouldn't be your primary targets in Outrun Ella. The Longbows...

Alrighty then. So far I've got the intro and Nexus Sweep done. Not much, but those pilots sure are talkative. :)

I've started writing the Standoff dialogue script (ala Wedge). However, since I've just realized it is quite a bit of work, I have to ask - would anyone actually be interested in seeing said script? :D

I liked that part too. (On the other hand, I didn't like the end of the Confed path all that much... Script-killing the Lexington if you destroy the Intrepid is just illogical, cheap, and plain evil :p )

(Slighty off-topic post) I've now managed to beat Outrun Ella with every single fighter available. Whew. :)

Ah, thanks. Apparently it didn't prevent Jazz from letting her die if you destroy Ayers' Rock, though... But we all know how twisted Jazz is. :p

1) Pliers' super Ship Enhancement Idea in Speradon apparently only adds one torpedo/mace to the Vindicator. That's all it does. 2) In some versions, it is apparently possible to destroy Ella without using the Flash-Pak. In other versions, you can damage Ella's armor and shields but you can't...
