The behaviour you're reporting is essentially identical to what I had in my Nightmare run - I think Dundradal's Episode 3 Winning Mission path chart is just wrong and you have to do Destroyer Rescue whatever the result of Rearguard Action. And, really, that's as it should be - Destroyer Rescue...

Hey, Chuckles, if you're still reading this - just wondering if you were planning to do any more sectors. I could really use an Epsilon around now. What am I doing with them? The attached file might count as a clue...

Awesome. Are you going to tell me where to find them to edit, or is having to look through all the .tre files myself penance for asking a stupid question?

I recall a conversation when I complained about the way none of the redshirts die until Episode 5 wherein Quarto said he'd not been able to get Origin's random wingman assigner to work so all of Standoff's wingmen were actually picked explicity - which is why I think it might be different (and...

Is it possible to edit the names of the non-storyline wingmen in Standoff? If so, how? Or will it cause the game to crash due to the, um, unique and innovative method of assigning pilots to missions?

It actually isn't, but for what I can only assume are his own nefarious reasons, Chuckles has severed all the jump-lines between sectors. Elohim is linked to Torgo, in the Deneb quadrant of Epsilon Sector, and given that Confed decided to build the Behemoth there I'd be suprised if it wasn't...

A further altered version... Have to say I really like these maps, they're much simpler and easier to use than the CIC's big universe map (which I loathe due to it having far too many jump lines to be readable). They're also quite readily editable which is also good, because I'd love to have a...

The Trench run isn't even almost hard uncloaked, though. Even on Nightmare. You're in an Excalibur, it has velocity lock, hit your burners, lock in 1300kps, outrun the Ekapshis to the fault-line. The T-Bomb will lock on before they catch up and you're done.

Voted for the Hornet, because there isn't anywhere near enough complaining about how much it sucks in comparision to the Hellcat, which it is definitely worse than. At least the Hellcat actually has enough firepower to blow stuff up in a timely manner.

In general I think the Nightmare friendly AI is somewhat better at dogfighting, but no better at strike missions (or alternatively capital ship gunners are much better on Nightmare). The only winning path mission I have never beaten on Nightmare in Standoff is "Lashing Out" (I think that's what...

Vaktoth aren't dangerous enough to warrant using missiles on them.

I don't know about a flaw in the shield pattern, but that's the sort of area I was talking about hanging around in because it doesn't seem to be covered by the turret, so close enough.

So, yes. Nightmare difficulty. Um. Are Banshees even killable on it? Certainly not with missiles, it would seem. If it was one on one I might be able to take out a Banshee in a Hellcat, but 2 to 1 they can generally whittle me down. It's like trying to take out a WC3 Draket wing except they...

In SM2 Colonel Halcyon comments that the techs on the Tiger's Claw have been unsuccessful in attempts to retrofit an ejector seat to the Dralthi. So not only does it not have one, one cannot be easily installed either. I seem to recall reading some Prophecy documentation that said Kilrathi...

The Premiere Edition appears to be a flash-pak. I am worried.

Actually on Nightmare (just finished it, moved onto Wing 4) the Vaktoth is kind of a respite - if you see a wing of Vaktoths (or Paktahns, they're easy too) at a Nav it's pretty much a sigh of relief. It's not actually that good of a ship, it's just the AI gets frequent afterburner use only for...

He may also just mean "the big one's phase shielded" without saying it in full. Of course I haven't seen the movie so yeah....

Standoff's wingmen are immortal until Ep5 - here's why, when it came up in a different thread.

Me, in the comments to this mission on the CIC's guide: More usefully, the trick when torpedoing the crusiers is not to fly straight at them. You can lock a torpedo as much as 15k away, do so, fly in at as much of an angle (about 20 degrees or so) as you can without losing lock. When you hear...

Something that ought to be mentioned is that I believe you are set up to fly through all the search points by default. When you find Flint you should reset your nav to the Victory unless you particularly like killing randomly generated Kilrathi.
