  • Mission 07: Engage The Rheinland Fleet

    I don´t know about any mod, but in the stock game there is no ´knack´ to taking out the battleship. You just have to do it. Standard evade-and-fire laws apply. You can lose your shield -- and ultimately your ship -- very quickly if you don´t maintain an evasive course throughout that particular battle. _____________________________ &quot;If it aint on fire, you haven´t shot it up bad enough yet&quot; - my old teacher on Planet Housten. <A href=´http://www.bounty-hunter-itac.tk´ Target=_Blank>The Bounty Hunter Intelligence and Tactical Computer System</a>

  • Why do you think the best missions are on Malta &amp; Crete

    A Hammerhead can outmanoeuvre pretty much anything, with the exception of maybe the Eagle, and the light fighters. Corsair Titans might have more power, but that´s not much use for anything if you´ve got a HH on your tail and can´t shake ´em. _____________________________ &quot;If it aint on fire, you haven´t shot it up bad enough yet&quot; - my old teacher on Planet Housten. <A href=´http://www.bounty-hunter-itac.tk´ Target=_Blank>The Bounty Hunter Intelligence and Tactical Computer System</a>

  • Queen of Bretonia

    Hi *waves* Didn´t think anybody would remember me. Oh thanks for that name, you´re a life saver. Well actually my life was never in any danger from... ah never mind. Thanks! I knew it began with a ´C´... The closest I could come up with was ´Corrella´ or something like that. _____________________________ &quot;If it aint on fire, you haven´t shot it up bad enough yet&quot; - my old teacher on Planet Housten. <A href=´http://www.bounty-hunter-itac.tk´ Target=_Blank>The Bounty Hunter Intelligence and Tactical Computer System</a>

  • Why do you think the best missions are on Malta &amp; Crete

    Maybe so, but perhaps they are more anxious to remove the threat from their doorstep, however minor, before moving onto larger threats further away? _____________________________ &quot;If it aint on fire, you haven´t shot it up bad enough yet&quot; - my old teacher on Planet Housten. <A href=´http://www.bounty-hunter-itac.tk´ Target=_Blank>The Bounty Hunter Intelligence and Tactical Computer System</a>

  • Green Nebula Systems?

    The Edge Nebula is home to the two largest criminal organisations in Sirius, as well as hunter-confirmed reports of alien activity. Only veteran hunters are permitted to hunt in this region, and only then for sizeable bounties. A hotbed of radiation, and under-skilled pilots may not survive the cream of the Corsair/Outcast crop, let alone the alien ships. You may also find freelance pirates and smugglers taking residence in the area; highly dangerous foes. _____________________________ &quot;If it aint on fire, you haven´t shot it up bad enough yet&quot; - my old teacher on Planet Housten. <A href=´http://www.bounty-hunter-itac.tk´ Target=_Blank>The Bounty Hunter Intelligence and Tactical Computer System</a>

  • Hammer Head

    Law of the world. Heavier armour and weapons decreases manoeuvrability. What you have right now is a surprisingly maneuvrable ship with decent weapons. What you´d have with more energy-hungry weapons and heavy armour is a Titan :S _____________________________ &quot;If it aint on fire, you haven´t shot it up bad enough yet&quot; - my old teacher on Planet Housten. <A href=´http://www.bounty-hunter-itac.tk´ Target=_Blank>The Bounty Hunter Intelligence and Tactical Computer System</a>

  • Jump Holes

    The <A href=´http://www.lancersreactor.org/t/Download/Download.asp?ID=164´ Target=_Blank>FL Roadmap (http://www.lancersreactor.org/t/Download/Download.asp?ID=164)</a> has the coordinates to all jump holes and gates in map form. There are others, but it´s the only one I could remember for search purposes.

  • Hammer Head

    @ Aravis, are you thinking of Tripoli Shipyard? I think they sell them there. Though it´s been a while since I was ´able´ to dock there, if you catch my drift <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>, so don´t quote

  • Freelancer-Starlancer

    I think this has already been covered enough in this thread, but I´ll throw in my two cents anyway. If the Houses had cloaking technology only they kept it secret from non-military factions, as someone here suggested, Juni would not have been so shocked -- she is LSF. While that does not immediately mean that she must know of all secret government projects, it is possible that she was high-ranking enough to at least have heard rumours, if not been contracted to defend the secret once or twice. And she did know of experiments with the technology, going some way to prove the point. Someone else said that Starlancer´s cloaks probably wouldn´t be considered true cloaks anymore. I think that´s an accurate guess. They weren´t too hard to spot then, 800 years on I´m sure sensors would have advanced more than enough to see them too. And they hadn´t managed to cloak something as large as a capital ship, so there would still be an element of shock. And thus if this is the case, then the cloaking technology Juni is so surprised to see would be totally new; you can neither see nor detect it. And the fact that this would seem to require huge amounts of power (10 battleship cores, does a rumour somewhere suggest?) goes some way to demonstrating how effective sensors in Sirius have become. If this is not the case, there are two other options: 1) The data on the cloaks developed by the Coalition and the Alliance had not been included on the sleeper ships. I would go with this one; there would be so much information to include on their computer data banks that cloaking their ships in a place where there were no enemies would not be a priority. 2) The data was included on the sleeper ship computers, but the computer records degraded in transit. Now if they still use MS Windows by then, this would be more likely than option 1. And I´m sure that their data banks did suffer some level of degredation. But I would assume this, although likely, to be less likely than the former. _____________________________ &quot;If it aint on fire, you haven´t shot it up bad enough yet&quot; - my old teacher on Planet Housten. <A href=´http://www.bounty-hunter-itac.tk´ Target=_Blank>The Bounty Hunter Intelligence and Tactical Computer System</a>

  • What happened to Freeport 3?

    Never used the server. As for the station, it does exist. It´s just in a system with no jump hole or gate access <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>. But if you know which direction to point your ship, and have a stasis chamber handy... :p _____________________________ &quot;If it aint on fire, you haven´t shot it up bad enough yet&quot; - my old teacher on Planet Housten. <A href=´http://www.bounty-hunter-itac.tk´ Target=_Blank>The Bounty Hunter Intelligence and Tactical Computer System</a>

  • How do you move in Omega-41

    The mines only occupy patches of Omega-41. I can´t remember the coordinates, but I remember where they are in relation to the jump holes and stations. If you familiarise yourself with the system, you´ll learn to avoid them too. And the only time I had problems with the radiation was the first time I played the game and was exploring it, still occupying my little Anubis. What ship do you have? If all you´re doing is exploring right now, I suggest you trade up for a Titan. Don´t shout at me, I don´t like it for combat either, but for exploration it´s ideal; all that extra armour pays dividends in highly-radioactive areas. _____________________________ &quot;If it aint on fire, you haven´t shot it up bad enough yet&quot; - my old teacher on Planet Housten. <A href=´http://www.bounty-hunter-itac.tk´ Target=_Blank>The Bounty Hunter Intelligence and Tactical Computer System</a>

  • bounty hunter weapons missing

    Bounty Hunter weapons are arguably the best dog-fighting weapons around. There are some photon turrets with better damage ratios, but the range on the Reavers tips them over the edge. Those extra shots while the enemy is out of range can make all the difference. And the Buckshot gun is one of the more powerful weapons out there. _____________________________ &quot;If it aint on fire, you haven´t shot it up bad enough yet&quot; - my old teacher on Planet Housten. <A href=´http://www.bounty-hunter-itac.tk´ Target=_Blank>The Bounty Hunter Intelligence and Tactical Computer System</a>

  • Mission6-the race

    ´Don´t´ do it in a Heavy Fighter? I was in a Crusader the first time I tried. And thought it had to be scripted it was so easy, lol. I´m not trying to gloat, on the contrary -- I just don´t understand how so many people have problems with this race. The race in pre-patched Mafia, I can understand. I lost that many times before perfecting it. Isn´t this race scripted so Hovis makes a mistake at a gate? Honest, treat it like driving a car -- go into bends wide, cut them short as you take them. Don´t miss the rings, obviously. Don´t bother with thrusters at the start of the race. You still have to charge your cruise engines too. And while you´re doing that, Hovis is already cruising. A quick thrust, a split second, perhaps. But no longer. And when Hovis drops back, if you were behind you´ll zoom ahead. If you were in front, it doesn´t matter. You win <i>more </i>, if that´s possible. _____________________________ &quot;If it aint on fire, you haven´t shot it up bad enough yet&quot; - my old teacher on Planet Housten. <A href=´http://www.bounty-hunter-itac.tk´ Target=_Blank>The Bounty Hunter Intelligence and Tactical Computer System</a>

  • Nomad Lair system?

    The ´standard´ Unknowns aren´t shown on Datastorm? Really? Wow, you´d have thought it´d cover those. On reading that I snooped around the Lancer files and the ´FL Roadmap´ shows not only Omicron Minor and Major (one of them, lol), but two Unknowns too. Hard to believe they´d forget something like that, unless they just didn´t want to show them. Or didn´t know they were there, lol _____________________________ &quot;If it aint on fire, you haven´t shot it up bad enough yet&quot; - my old teacher on Planet Housten. <A href=´http://www.bounty-hunter-itac.tk´ Target=_Blank>The Bounty Hunter Intelligence and Tactical Computer System</a>

  • at wat level do u need to be a part of the bad dudes

    You understand you can´t ´officially´ join-up -- this being your second thread on the subject, I´m beginning to think that this is what you´re asking. As I said in your Rogue thread, you can pretend to be a criminal, but you can´t actually become part of any faction. You could be level 1 or level 38 and still be a freelancer, I´m afraid. _____________________________ &quot;If it aint on fire, you haven´t shot it up bad enough yet&quot; - my old teacher on Planet Housten. <A href=´http://www.bounty-hunter-itac.tk´ Target=_Blank>The Bounty Hunter Intelligence and Tactical Computer System</a>
