Sim mission question

Hello everyone on the Standoff team,

Firstly, excellent job on the mod.

Just a quick question on the last simulator mission.....I noticed that you escort a Waterloo class Cruiser and several transports through Kilrathi infested space, but the Waterloo can only take out the non phase-shielded corvettes, the destroyers are safe from the Confed cruiser.....Doesn't the Waterloo have AMGs and torpedoes to take out these destroyers? If I wasn't flying a bomber, they wouldn't get destroyed. Yet--from the bomber, it is difficult to shoot at all the fighters before they get my transports.
 
The goal of this mission is to ensure the transports jumps out, not destroy the Kilrathi capships. Destroying the capships will only prevent them to launch additional fighter waves... their hangar runs out of fighters eventually anyway. The only threat the caphips themselves poses to the transports is turrets fire; you can solve that problem by destroying their turrets is you like, although it usually doesn't pose much of a threat to the transports.
 
Cool, I realize that.
I was just wondering if the Capships in future installments will have the capability to damage/destroy each other (like in UE).
 
There is a capship battle in episode 2, where the Ralatha fires torpedoes at the Firekka (it takes place if you don't kill the Ralatha in mission four). Similar things may happen on a few occasions in the future episodes.

However, it has to be said - capship battles are always very strictly controlled. It's usually possible for either side to win or lose, but the manner in which this happens is scripted from start to end by us. Capships are simply too important to allow to just bumble around hitting stuff :p.
 
Thanks Quatro. I plan to go back and check that mission out.

I would like to see some AMGs. Will there be any in the game? Even if the battles are completely controlled.
