SkybladeDarkstar Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 During the Hydian Way Blockade, there is a bonus mission (availible at level 44, I believe) to "Destroy Heavy Fighters", which requires you to shoot down 4 of the Plug-6 Heavy Fighters that show up during the mission. These are the ones that fly around for a bit, shooting backward, before leaving. Destroying them takes at least six missiles, along with blaster fire. The problem is, there are only four of them. And the third one is on screen for scant seconds. For a long time, I didn't even realize it was on screen, I thought it and the fourth one were the same one, but eventually I got the third one to smoke before it drifted off down the lower left corner, and when the shiny new one popped up, I new it was a different one. The third one is, as far as I can tell, impossible to kill. I've done everything I can to lock blasters and missiles on it every moment I can, and I have even saved my EMP Burst to use on it, and it still isn't on screen long enough to die. Am I missing something, or is this bonus mission impossible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KimuRave Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Seems to be impossible. I tried it 7 times, insta locked my rockets an blasters... no way. Appareantly my EMP is bugged, too, it seems not do damage any of the heavy fighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triforcedragon Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Could it be that you need a Proton Torpedo? I cant be sure on this as I havent tested, but from what I guess the Proton Torpedo Launcher you can pick up for ship commendations pack quite a bit more punch than normal missiles as you only have four shots for it. That might be the solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncientAstronaut Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 There are more Heavy Fighters at the end, when you can shoot the mine layer. First they look all like the weak fighters, but some of them are Heavy Fighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First they look all like the weak fighters, but some of them are Heavy Fighters. This. During the final 10-20 seconds of the mission, at least one more heavy fighter will do 1 or 2 fly-bys among the myriads of regular fighters that show up. It's the same for one of the Imperial missions as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elross Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Look for the twin lines off on the distant fighters when you are doing your initial charge at the mine layer. Most enemy ships have a single tail but you can see one to the right a short ways that has a twin tail. That is a Heavy fighter. (Yes, when you get close to the regular fighters, they have a twin tail too, but not if seen from a distance) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellendaine Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Thank goodness! I've been doing this for weeks now and so glad to see this last entry, as I could not find the last heavy fighter. I'll check near the mine layer next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
