Hi Everyone:

I have WC Kilrathi Saga and I when I play WC 2 I cant seem to beat this game. I play around 10 missions and this one mission where I take a shuttle to this planet and it always dies on me. Then I stuck on the space station for not protecting te shuttle. How do you beat this mission?
 
Yeah, if you get sent back, you've been dumped onto the losing track. There aren't any special tricks to protecting something. You always have to focus more on protecting your escort than killing targets. Rather than beat something until it's dead as would be the normal practice, you need to just beat stuff long enough for it to turn away from what you're trying to protect.

I'm not sure whether you talk about the same mission as the one for which I used the shields : instead of firing missiles and guns, I hit the afterburners towards the enemy, released it so that I bumped into him not too fast (this way, I only lost the shields, and not my ship as well !).
While I was repowering the shields, the enemy flew...
 
what exact mission is it- there was one where I just launched missiles to get the kilrathi fighter evade and take up time while i focused on one target.
 
I always enjoyed WC4, where a missile hit usually resulted in the demise of whatever you were shooting at. Even if it was at full strength. . . . especially if it was an excalibur. BOOM!
 
But this is wc2, maybe you read it wrong. if you want more help mike12, you should try to be more specific.
 
I know that he's asking about wc2. I was just throwing my two cents in, on a different topic, hoping to throw everything awry.
 
I don't recall any WC2 main-story missions with shuttles.

And Transport Escort missions tend to fall into the 'kill the torpedo guys first'.
 
He might be talking about one where you escort a diligent or a free tader, but they call it "a shuttle of supplies" or something.
 
The key here is with the 'planet', correct? That reminds me of flying to Niven in a Ferret (those five sartha didn't stand a snowball's chance in hell) and then you must escort the two 'sports (Bhomis and Excalibur) on the way back. And, unless you're a quick thinker, one of 'em usually dies.
 
I dont think its Niven because he said to the planet, not away from it. But yeah, the general idea is to lure or taunt the bad guys away from the 'port and blow them up.
 
Sorry to be of no help whatsoever, as I have not played Wing Commander 2 in such a long time...but surely there is a walkthrough out there somewhere for it!
Have you tried searching the web for one?
 
Chris just pointed to a simple walkthrough that contains WC2, SO1, and SO2, at least its enough to ask more specific questions.
