Thunderbolt
Rear Admiral
Whoa I just had a crazy idea for the Snakier mission. For reasons beyond my control the mission was failed in the first part against the Ralatha because the bombers failed to destroy the capship. So then when the remaining confed fighters retreat and the autonav took me first to the snakier and of course I met more cat fighters I decided to fly manually back to the Firekka and Verdun with nearly 100 kilrathi fighters pursuing my rapier and a few epee's. I was seriously hoping to be able to have a huge battle back at the confed carriers but after 15 mins of flying and I finally got back all the kilrathi fighters around me just dissapeared. I guess its due to the way the mission is scripted but wow that would have been such an amazing fight to have a few confed fighters against 100 kilrathi's.
I guess the point of this thread (if there is any ) is to ask will there be any missions were u have to manually fly back to your carrier without using autopilot mode because you have tens of kilrathi chasing you? I guess that would be difficult to script but that would make for an amazing fight.
I guess if a scenario like that would occur it would most likely happen in the battle of Sirius where I imagine that Tolwyn would try to counterattack the kilrathi fleet first but lose of course and the surviving confed fighters would have to retreat to the Confed fleet with hundreds of kilrathi in pursuit. But then doing that and having other fresh confed fighters move in to try to stop the kilrathi advance would make for an amazing scenario. Will Episodes 4 and 5 be more dynamic like that in any way or are battles still confined to nav points?
