Gunners (Bang, Bang)

I hate torp defense... especially in StarLancer, compared to Wing Commander, well... let's just say that WC's torp defence missions are a bit easier ;)
 
I remember that Capship battle between the Yamato and the coalition carrier !!, lots of torps to hunt !
 
Torp defense isn't to bad what got me was the cap-missle mission in WC4 took three tries to save the fig's.Of course I finally beat that mission in a Vindicator.

You mean with the Coalition Flagship? I don't really have to *hunt* the torpedoes, they sort of launch themselves straight towards your face ;)
 
not for me... if you take into account that I downloaded a WCM Rapier to place in the game, adjusted all of it's weapons so that *every* tube in the chain-gun fired and made it so I could never run out of energy... I didn't have a problem :p
 
You mean sort of like using the improved Wasp patch for WCP and then taking ship edit and giving it insane afterburner speed(90000) and all kinds of good weapons.:)
 
I think at that speed, afterburners would be more of a hindrance than a help (what would the booster speed be? :eek: )

Heh, I still take an Avenger on that mission even though it screams for a Banshee. :)
 
Who said anything about boosters, with speed like that you don'nt need it, and the trick is timing.The mission may scream Banshee but it also screams torpedoes for the two Confed ships, things which the Avenger and the Vindicator have.And no I'm not trying to start the 3 torps or 4 torps arguement again.
 
Ehh, I avoid flying the Vindicator. :) I forgot about needing to neutralise the capships - I fly the Avenger to leech them too.

Leeches work well too.

I agree with Thymerlord. I never failed the mission while flying the Vindicator whereas in the Banshee or Avenger... :) (We *are* talking about that first mission in Orestes right?)
But I think we already discussed our preferences... <g>
And defence missions in SL were a pain in the a**. Especially when escorting those stupid Gamma (the bombers) or that mission you mentioned. And when you fail, you have to re-watch those annoying in-flight cutscenes.

This coming from you, I have a feeling the entire board will jump on the "I love Vindicators!" bandwagon. :)

sad but true.... unless you count me... or Wedge... but the rest... YES :(
 
What can I say, the Vindicator cult offers very good membership benefits. Oh, and we're always on the lookout for more people to brainwas... er, I mean recruit. :D

Best, Raptor
