~Wing Commander 3
A few problems solved....(obtained via messages on the Internet)
~Problems
The first mission in Kilrathie space.. Is it possible to win it?
What about the Asteroid belt (bases clean up). How do you do that?
Do you fly inside the bases and shoot from there? I can't seem to
get by it... I just failed the nebula one and continued.... and
the asteroid one is killin' me. PLEASE HELP !!!!
~Answers
I had trouble with the nebula mission too, but I refused to let
those cats chase me out, so I replayed it until I could get it
right. The secret is to fly defensively - I think this is the
first mission where they start launching multiple missles at you
and that can beat you down pretty quickly since you have to fly
to 4 or 5 nav points.
I did it a few weeks ago so I can't remember all the details, but
I think this is how I did it (on the default ace level):
When you arrive at the nav point, keep your wingman close until
you're in firing range. Tell him/her to attack a target while you
concentrate on another. If he finishes his off before you do, tell
him to attack your target and move onto the next fighter. When
there is one or two fighters left in the wave, tell you wingman to
attack one of them while you afterbur to the destroyer. Select the
torp, and when you are within range, launch the torp. That will get
rid of the destroyer and also the subsequent waves that it would
have launched. Scoot back to help out your wingman, then work on
the tanker. You will come across another nav point with this type
of enemy config (ie., tanker escorted by destroyer), and in this one,
since you used the torp, you have to select full missle silo instead
(press "b"). The main point is to whittle down the fighters, then
eliminate the destroyer as quick as possible, since it launches
about 3 waves of fighters.
The main trick is to use the decoys whenever the cats launch a
missile at you (ie., press "e"). Keep the "lock" light at the top
of the screen within your peripheral vision and/or listen for a
missile launch. When you notice either indicator, briefly hit the
afterburner and launch a couple of decoys. Helps IMMENSELY if you
have a programmable joystick.
Good luck; it took me a couple of trys, but I got it. I've only
flown one asteroid mission, so I don't know if it's the same one
you're having problems with. Are the cats launching mines or are
you running into asteroids?
~Problem
I'm supposed to go to the planet and clear the way for the marines
to rescue the scientist. At any rate, I go to the planet, blow up
all the fighters and go back. I still don't meet the objectives!
What might I be doing wrong?
~Answer
What you need to do is to destroy the buildings and the Anti Aircraft
guns. When you have destroyed anought of these there will be the
usual voice telling you your obectives have been met.
