Tarmac,

Thanks for the help. I did the capture thing as I was short on funds. I sold a BUNCH of frigates but kept about 6 and the destroyers, cruiser and CV.

I even captured the harvester and controler vehicles. I think after seeing the mess in the second mision following I am gonna need them all.

And Maverick, use buttloads of cloak generators to conceal an entire fleet that penetrates the sphere. Take your cloaked fleet inside, blow up the target, get the fug out of there.

Alternately, you can do what I did the first time I played this mission. It takes forever, but man it's fun and your fleet will be absolutely huge. Simply draw away a small portion of the sphere at a time with scouts, interceptors, or bombers, and capture the frigates as they chase you around the map. They'll singlemindedly chase your scouts to the far corners of the map, not diverting even as their ranks are whittled down by your salvage corvettes. Rinse and repeat until you've captured all the frigates, or captured a large enough hole in the sphere to take a fleet in without it getting pounced on.

Freedom Force. I bought it for $9.99 from the bargin bin. It is fun, but there is no friendly AI. So the player has to work all the frendly characters at once. I'm not good at speed clicking. So I tend to use one character at a time.

You scrapped them? You're missing out... a wall formation of 87 (I think that's how many I had) captured Ion Frigates is mighty impressive.

Although the formation does take forever to get itself turned around and pointed at a target, when it does... BOOOOOOM. Heavy cruisers went up after a single volley.

Tarmac, I still have at least 16 ion frigates in one formation.

Having about 8 destroyers and 2 cruisers in another is kinda nasty too.

What little gaming I do is Aces High with some "Sports Car Racing" mod of EA's F1 2002 from rsdg.net. I'm not an F1 fan but I do follow ALMS and the mod is the perfect blend of the two.

Been loving the Call Of Duty: Dawnville Demo

Beat it, but just been going at it with the harder skill level.

Yeah, I hear that circle jerk 3.0 is a pretty messy affair.

beta tested it, my computer sucked....so it was no fun.

I also hated waiting 10-15 minutes for the transport pilot to take off and go to a battle.

Now that i got a new putter i might buy it and try it out again, also i want to see if they fixed all the bugs from beta. I noticed it came with a 30 day free trial.....so if i dont like it it will end up on the shelf with Dark age of Camalot and AC2.
