Revenge of the Persian: Let's play Wing Commander special missions!

[Neckbeard Shitlord]

OMG racis stereotype!

Ah. It's easy to forget that your wingmen aren't just kill-stealing micromanagement problems, they are also people.

I like all these little touches. I feel like I am on a space carrier somewhere, cut off from the world.

Blow up a drayman? They practically come pre-blown up, from my experience!

 

[Neckbeard Shitlord]

Let's get er done!

Jalthis have a ton of firepower but in small numbers their maneuverability makes them an easy snack for a scimitar's mass drivers. Bossman kept whing of being damaged. Somehow, he nearly got killed in the 30 seconds it took to gun these guys down.

 

[Neckbeard Shitlord]

So far, so good.

 

[Neckbeard Shitlord]

More Jalthis guarded the drayman, but I blew past most of them and took it down first. Then I took out the rest of the wave, and also some krants.

There was a ralari and more krants far off on my radar. I hunted them down as well.

 

[Neckbeard Shitlord]

Which turned out to be easier said than done. What happened next, I have never seen or heard of happening before. I was going in to strafe the destroyer and right in front of me Bossman and an enemy fighter smash right into each other and then Bossman smashes right into me, too!

Bossman explodes, and my ship has its shields messed up and almost everything is broken but weapons. Thankfully the rest of the enemies are just Krants so I take them down and then ace the destroyer, but it was still touch and go.

 

[Neckbeard Shitlord]

I've brought in damaged ships before, but this one was the worst.

Bossman rammed into me and exploded, but a good wingman doesn't let things like that keep him down! I had been ready to redo the mission but now I'm glad I stuck it through til the end.

 

[Neckbeard Shitlord]

I did not hold out any hopes my friend, but by the laws of plot narrative the more often someone is mentioned, the more likely it is that they are going to show up later on. So you have done your part to keep their memory alive and give them a fighting chance to find some sort of parachute under the seat!

 

[Neckbeard Shitlord]

Looks like Maniac is reaching Social Justice Warrior levels of lunacy.

 

[Neckbeard Shitlord]

Touche.

It's been so long I don't remember anything about the secret missions except that they were linear and way harder than the original. So now I am not sure I will ever see that stupid ship, or if maniac will crash into it or what.

 

[Neckbeard Shitlord]

Looks like the super leet space marines did something that affects more than the backstory! The mission is pretty simple, just go and escort the dralthi fighter home.

 

[Neckbeard Shitlord]

I expected to get some fighters to fend off. What I got was a bunch of fighters and a destroyer before I even got to the fighter.

 

[Neckbeard Shitlord]

Plus a fralthi as well!

 

[Neckbeard Shitlord]

Once again Bossman disappeared and then came back. I guess he ejected, but it seems odd because he did it very early into the mission.

This was a fun mission with a lot of fighting. I blasted a ton of dralthi out of existence, but somehow I did not snap any screens of them. It was kind of lolrandom, though. The missions in the secret missions just stick more ships and whatnot in for each mission I guess.

 

[Neckbeard Shitlord]

I'm still standing.

Sure. In spite of posting an Elton John video I do enjoy the company of women.

Friendzoned! All this chick talks about is her BF.

The grim darkness of space is getting to everyone.

 

[Neckbeard Shitlord]

Finally after all that posting, I am catching up to my current position in the game!

The thing that would suck about being a space marine is, you don't even know if you will get to the fight or not. Must really suck to be a space marine.

But for once a simple mission so let's get to it!

 

[Neckbeard Shitlord]

Things are going well. I take down some light fighters guarding a fralthi cruiser and then spirit kills the cruiser. Then we take down some heavies.

 

[Neckbeard Shitlord]

No excuses this time, I simply got shot down. I lost my front shield and armor then I turned right into a gralthi mass driver spread.

 

[Neckbeard Shitlord]

This time the salthi and the cruiser went strangely. I chased after one salthi and it crashed in some asteroids. I return and the other five plus the jalthi are just gone. Missions says I got them though and spirit had zero kills so? I dunno. I guess they went into the asteroids?

After that a bunch of gralthi. The almost shot me down again and I had to use some missiles on them and lots of afterburners.

 

[Neckbeard Shitlord]

As soon as the big fighters are toast, the transport jumps in, with some Krant right behind. This was a very hard fight because they start off hammering on him and I had to go and hit each one then quickly finish them before the drayman was toast.

 

[Neckbeard Shitlord]

It was quite a mission overall, but this time I made it back safe and sound.

 

[Neckbeard Shitlord]

Bar, sweet bar. The place I live my life.

NUMBER ONE!!!

Never tell me the odds!

 

[Neckbeard Shitlord]

Not sure top gun school instructors would approve of this, but what the hell Maverick.

 

[Neckbeard Shitlord]

This one starts off easy enough. I realized though that spirit is a totally useless wingman. She always fires all her missiles right away and then doesn't do anything ever again. Plus you have to micromanage her and she won't ever shut up.
