    The Darkest Dawn is Cleared for Launch

    Fantastic. Just finished up. Loved everything about it, except the part where I had to wait and buy a new computer. Thanks for a great game, guys. Magnificent.

    Tactics and Tips *SPOILERS*

    At any point, can you kill Deathfang? It seems like I might've had the chance in the mission where you're supposed to protect the Bradshaw, but the lowest I could get him to was 27% before he cloaked. I want him dead soooooooo bad. And the Wrathgar (btw, you're right the Wrathgar is...

    The Darkest Dawn is Cleared for Launch

    *SPOILER* Not particularly. It seemed like it was getting close to the end; all kinds of talk about the Victory jumping into Kilrah. Now, it seems like back to business as usual; I'm currently defending the Bradshaw as the crew is abandoning ship; that third wave of Paktahns is a bit more of a...

    Anybody (outside of the developers) finished this bad boy yet? Just curious....

    The Darkest Dawn is Cleared for Launch

    Bastards. This game is so good, it made me get a better computer. And the goddamn game was free. You guys are worse than drug pushers. Now I gotta go; daddy needs his fix...

    Tactics and Tips *SPOILERS*

    It does seems like as I go along, the orders become a bit less clear, and the objectives a little more...free form. The price of success, I guess: no one's holding my hand anymore. When I'm defending the T'lan Meth jump point, I do get a sort of Behemoth-y feel to it. Those ships jump in...

    Tactics and Tips *SPOILERS*

    In the mission to defend the Invincible, are my guys even trying? It doesn't even look like the capships are putting up a fight? Am I just trying to stall until the Invincible gets the flight deck un-Concordia'd? Are the capships fighting back, running to the jump point? I think I've about...

    Favorite Missions or Mission-sets (of course spoilers)

    Hyperion 4. No question. I posted waaaaaaaay too much about my experience with that particular mission here. If you've got about 45-60 minutes to kill, it's totally worth it, at least I think so...

    Tactics and Tips *SPOILERS*

    It was just a really fun mission. While I was cruising between encounters, I could get some reading done or whatnot. Plus, it made those dogfights a bit more...intense. I couldn't stop playing it, even after I had completed it. Just hook it to my veins...

    Tactics and Tips *SPOILERS*

    Sorry, I just couldn't let that Armageddon escort mission go, but I finally got it. This may be the best mission in the game; for me, it tops the Valkyrie mission. Buuuuuut, it takes forever. If you've got the time, try this: *SPOILER* Auto to the Armageddon, then proceed to Nav 2 at full...

    Q's anger management thread (chock-full of spoilers!)

    Alright, since this is the thread for letting it all out; when you escort the Armageddon to bombard Hyperion 6, you have a secondary goal of keeping ALL the escort ships alive. Damn near impossible (at least for me...). Finally got to a point where I only lost one ship AND didn't die myself (a...

    Tactics and Tips *SPOILERS*

    Oh, yeah. Already moved on. I had stopped using the autopilot because I'm having a problem with the fps rate during this missions (I mentioned it in another forum, and I even think you replied to it...yep), especially whenever the capships were on the screen. By not autopiloting when the...

    Tactics and Tips *SPOILERS*

    Alright, I've finally settled on the Armageddon escort mission. I just don't autopilot into any situation where there's bombers coming. I've now done that mission enough times to know when that is. Sadly. I still can't keep all the ships alive, and I've given up trying; especially since not...

    FPS drop when facing capships/stations

    I tried the OpenGL hack, and the mission escorting the Armageddon to Hyperion 6 is still really slow, especially anytime the Armageddon is onscreen. I hope I installed it correctly. It didn't seem to be too complicated, but it didn't seem to help too much.... Am I doing something wrong? I...

    Tactics and Tips *SPOILERS*

    On (I think) the third mission with the Excalibur, where you go on patrol and take out some fighters and a light cruiser, then come back and the Hermes is under attack; how many waves of bombers are there? I tried to intercept the bombers as far from the Hermes as possible, and got through...

    I've finished....

    I don't have the KS manual. Is it just a compilation of the Claw Marks through Victory Streak, or did they redo it completely? And I'm gonna apologize in advance for this one, but the debate about Dakhath has set this one off: (sigh) to me, the Kilrathi were Klingons. Their importance on...

    I've finished....

    WC1 was the only one where they made a big deal out of the aces (with the exception of Thrakhath and, to a lesser extent, Khasra in WC2). I was kinda disappointed that the sequels didn't put more about the aces into the rumor mill on ship, if nothing else. It would've made the aces more...

    I've finished....

    Alright. Finished the winning path a few weeks back. When I go back to replay the losing path in my next playthrough, I gotta know: do we get to meet Maniac at any point? When Blair showed up, I was way too excited. I'm not sure where Maniac was during the Battle of Earth, or if he was...

    Promotions?

    Are the medals determines the same way (based off a points system for an individual mission)?

    Promotions?

    Right on. Can you get promoted any further? If so, I assume it's at a predetermined point in the game, as opposed to some kind of points system like WC1. If that's the case, please don't tell me when it happens, just if it does
