Aurinax Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I am unable to target the ship for the main objective until there are approximately 45 seconds left in a mission that lasts for 7 minutes and 45 seconds, and then for the last 10 seconds of a mission (read: roughly 22% of the entire time I can target the main objective), the main enemy ship isn't even on the screen for me to target. The fact that I only get 35 out 455 seconds to complete the main objective of this mission is obviously a bug, please fix it. The main enemy ship enters my screen with the gold objective rings around it repeatedly before then, but I do not get a red crosshair enabling me to damage it.

You definitely need to be ready for it to get it, but generally you can on the two passes easily get the objectives if you have 4 missiles and your power converter feeding your lasers. I felt like you didn't have a lot of time but have been able to get the 3 objective targets in the first pass either way. I can easily see missing it though, I'd like another pass or two on it midway through at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unpleasant Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Yeah you basically have to just spam right-click and hold down left click and pray that it does enough damage. 2 out of the 3 times I've done the mission I was able to destroy the thing. It really should give you a little more time, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybermeister Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Yup I've attempted this mission half a dozen times, complete all the bonus objectives and have all the mines destroyed with more than 2 minutes left to run on the clock... but only once have I managed to hit all the targets on the minelayer - and that was more by luck than judgement I think.

MartinP Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I'm not sure the mission is 'bugged', just horribly designed. To have so little time available on the primary mission target is just ridiculous, especially when the mission is so long. not a mission I'll bother doing again unless they actually give us half a chance to do it.

GnatB Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 hmm.. Only time I haven't been able to complete that mission was the very first time I ran it, and that was because I wasn't paying attention and thought I had already destroyed enough parts of the ship. Every time since no problem. So yeah, concentrate your fire on it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
