Guest Imladil Posted November 1, 1999 Share Posted November 1, 1999 I've been shooting up Kile II this evening. It's one of my favorites, plenty rich pickings for a skyborne laser terrorist like myself. The different compounds here and there are packed with buildings, ground dudes, laser turrets...and of course, plenty of TIE fighters to chase and smack down! I've been known to spend up to half an hour flying back and forth, just to make sure I've killed everything. I discovered, on accident, a shortcut through the canyons of Kile II...between the spaceport and the barracks/sensor array complex. It shaves quite a bit of time when you're going after a medal, but bear in mind that it does usually cost a life. At the entrance to the vale where the spaceport is located, just after the two laser turrets on the way in, there is a thin spot on the canyon wall. It is best seen on radar, where it shows clearly the clearing on the other side. It backs one of the side canyons behind the barracks on the other side. Anyway. Just aim toward the top of the canyon wall at that point and give her the gas, lasers and missiles going. The wall doesn't actually break that I've ever seen, but it can't hurt to soften it up with weapons, can it? When you crash, the game will put you out magically on the other side, ready to zap some stuff up. One time, and only one time, I managed to skip up over the wall and come out on the other side intact. I was flying the Millenium Falcon at the time; I think its shielding and thin shape did the trick, although I haven't been able to repeat it since. Anyone else know of any shortcuts? ------------------ "The entire universe is simply the fractal chaos boundary between intersecting domains of high and low energy." --Imladil the Mean "Did Adam and Eve have belly buttons?" --Little Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FireFly Posted November 2, 1999 Share Posted November 2, 1999 Well, the shortest conventional way of getting from place to place is just to stay far right the whole way until you get to the spaceport then after you exit it just stay to the right again until you get to the radar place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Imladil Posted November 2, 1999 Share Posted November 2, 1999 When I fly the TIE interceptor, I like to enter the IGIVEUP code and use the ship as a kamikaze missile, just to make up for the lack of a secondary weapon. ...BANZAI-III!!!... ------------------ "The entire universe is simply the fractal chaos boundary between intersecting domains of high and low energy." --Imladil the Wierd "What do whales think of submarines?" --Little Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Imladil Posted November 3, 1999 Share Posted November 3, 1999 Ohio gozaimasu, keto-sama. Ie! Samurai-san Ichi Ban...! Whew! That about exhausts my Japanese... The three I's after BANZAI represent the sound of my sword splitting air molecules as I swing it.

Guest Imladil Posted November 10, 1999 Share Posted November 10, 1999 More "rocket science" for my wingmates: I've discovered another shortcut, similar to the one on Kile II. On the way to the Imperial Construction Yards on Balmorra, there is a section along the canyon with the scanning radar dishes that backs onto the construction complex. Crashing into the top of the canyon wall will put you out ahead of the other airspeeders. Of course, if getting ahead is the idea...I've been known to drop behind the other two rebel speeders and frag their tails. That's right--you heard me. I shoot their worthless butts right out of the sky, just so I can have more targets for myself. They scream and fall flaming from the sky, and as I fly past I say "Beep! Beep!" like the Roadrunner. That ain't all. At the end of the freight run on Barkhesh, I like to chase the circling X-wings and smack them down JUST BECAUSE I'M BORED...! There is no target more challenging than a shielded spacefighter anyway, so I cheerfully zap them up like airborne turkies. ...And I'll do the same to anyone who gets in the way of my evil plans. ------------------ "The entire universe is simply the fractal chaos boundary between intersecting domains of high and low energy." --Imladil the Trenchant "What color is nothing?" --Little Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
