Single Player troubles

[Dab]

Were you using 4.79 or 4.80 on that mission? Because its possible on 4.79 but probably not on 4.80. Though even the 4.79 version takes ALOT of skill, and time, since you gotta fly in and out of the fleet taking potshots, not doing much damage each pass. But with the upgraded capships in 4.80 it might very well be impossible (or you can sit on the sideline for an hour and a half and wait for Juni and Razor One to take them all out.

Now for Dab's simple process of elimination.

Best idea is to have fighters follow you, then once they are all dead fly in and target the battleship's turrets. Blow them off one by one, OR just the back firing turrets. Once those are dead you can sit behind it and blast away till its dead. Torpedoes come in very handy on this part, since you can only shoot certain amount in a certain time, you add torpedoes to your runs and you can do twice the damage in a run (run - one sweep in at the BS dodging as you come, then go back out of range again). If you have a turret selected the torpedo aims in on that spot. Once the BS is dead the cruisers and gunboats will begin more free movement. Which is why I suggested blowing all the turrets off instead of destroying it. That way the cruisers stay in the same place. Once it is dead or disabled go after the cruisers. Just destroy them, unless they are using their missile turrets, then take those out THEN take out the cruiser itself. Don't disable them. Not worth trying to. After those are dead you'll find the gunboats to be easy pickings.

BS - Disable or destroy, but disable some guns in the engine section so you can destroy it.
Cruiser - Take out missile turrets, then go after hull, use torpedoes as much as you want/can.
Gunboat - Just stay behind the engine and you'll be fine.
Fighter - Take these out first. The might not seem to be the main threat in the battle, but since they can get behind you and fire at you, they are more dangerous than you would think. If possible get as many as you can on your tail and bait them away from the battleship.

See? Simple.

If ya need help on the arch mission PM me. And for those nomad missions.. Well, your on your own there. :P Only piloting skill gets you through those, best advice is to just finish the objective as quickly as possible instead of taking on the hordes of fighters.


I should make a story mode guide. :laugh:


EDIT: Since Virus posted as I was writing this; Virus, the loadouts they use are the loadouts of the multiplayer ships as well. So when your on server and see a Liberty patrol going near Manhattan, the NPCs in missions use those same weapons. Only thing that could fix that is a single player add-on to Disco that makes the guns weaker, and the armor lighter.
