Guest Roknor Posted February 25, 2001 Report Share Posted February 25, 2001 Hello, so far I'm have fun with BC3K, it is a bit addictive. Right now I'm doing the Gammula Attack Run and doing some planetary bombardment.Doing the OTS nukes seems like an easy way to get experience points, and sending in my Battle Cruiser can easily destroys all in its path.Now I'm trying to do it the hard way.First I'm sending in my Interceptors for air support and bombing the zone. Its kind of risky and I usually lose an Interceptor. And deploying troops is kind of hard.I was wondering if anybody had any tips for me?Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roknor Posted February 25, 2001 Report Share Posted February 25, 2001 My pilots seem to take their time in distroying the SAM and SAL. Also my poor marines are just taking a beating with 50% to 60% causlty (ie. dead).Another odd problem I'm having with my troops is getting them out of there. I try flagging them [ctrl] + [left click] and transporting them out. But they stay planet side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roknor Posted March 1, 2001 Report Share Posted March 1, 2001 Something kind of strange has happen to one of my marines. (Something similar to what happen to William Riker.)After waying waste to a Valkerie settlement, I transported my marines out of there. But one marine (#37) kind of remained on the surface. I say kind of because he is also aboard my BattleCruiser! I can order the surface bound marine around, but can't transport nor pick him up with a shuttle. Mean while back on board #37 is in the Medibay.Ideally I would like to get these two back together again. Does anyone know how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roknor Posted March 2, 2001 Report Share Posted March 2, 2001 What?!? I should shoot the poor double?wouldn't it be more humane just to let the poor thing starve to death? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipse Posted March 3, 2001 Report Share Posted March 3, 2001 Either way, he dies, so you can replace him.

Supreme Cmdr Posted March 3, 2001 Report Share Posted March 3, 2001 quote:My pilots seem to take their time in distroying the SAM and SAL.The SEAD order works best. Also, it depends on their BA skills. Though they don't drop bombs per se, it means the same thing - the ability to prosecute ground targets. quote:execute him and recruit anotherLOL!!

Guest Roknor Posted March 4, 2001 Report Share Posted March 4, 2001 What I have that kind of helps my pilots during their bombing mission is to assign targets for them.With the SEAD order, they tend to fly around the zone and fire a few missiles (which go nowhere near the target) and generally just provide target pratice for the SAL's and SAM's (luckily they got just a bad aim).But at TACOPS if I IC# -> ORDER -> ATTACK -> ENEMY -> SAL(or whatever), then the pilots get right on it and BOOM, one dead SAL.As for marine, at least I don't have recuit a new one because he is a live on well on board. It's his duplicate that found the perfect vacation spot on Gummal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delgard Posted March 25, 2001 Report Share Posted March 25, 2001 Another suggestion for planet attack...Through TACOPS, if you are familiar with the waypoint system, you could set your Interceptors to quickly move in, eliminate their designated target, return, re-arm, and then you can set them up for the next wave. Once all defenses are pretty much eliminated, drop the ATV's and marines to do the dirty work. ------------------ Cadet Delgard GCV-Lambast, Orion Starstation (CENTRIS) Cadet, Orion Fleet Academy http://www.orionfleet.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
