Kin Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 I tried that mission on the simulator (easy level) flying MF. I picked up "my sister", finished off all enemy fighters, one SD I, two VSD II. Next I knocked out shield generators on Executor and lowered its hull to 82. My question is: Is it possible to destroy Executor in this mission (in simulation and game play also)?
t_smitts Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 Just about any ship can be destroyed in theory. It would be extremly difficult though without invincibility or unlimited ammo, though, especially since I believe gunboats attack you if you knock out the Executor's shileds.
Kin Posted October 15, 2001 Author Posted October 15, 2001 My experience was not the theory. I didn't have extra ammo, or invurneriability. When shield generators have been destroyed then 6 T/Advanceds appeared. You can finish them off (and their missiles) using gun turret. A-Wings will also help you if you get imperials on your tail. The rest is firing your lasers at SSD for a very long time (few hours?) to lower its hull. I've tried to do that with unlimited rockets. It took me 40 mins and Executor was destroyed and Lord Vader too (I hope )
Kin Posted October 15, 2001 Author Posted October 15, 2001 More important question is: Is it a correct situation when you can destroy Executor in half of the war?
JR2000Z Posted October 16, 2001 Posted October 16, 2001 Needless to say, you would problably get a heck-load of points if you destroy it.
Guest garyah99 Posted October 16, 2001 Posted October 16, 2001 Actually, I've tried to do that very thing during the game on several occassions. It's easy to take out all the fighters and the VSD's and ISD's. As soon as I take out the shield generators on the Executor, I get OVERWHELMED by T/A's. I mean dozens!! Even in the Otana, they just swarm you with missile after missile. I don't think it can be done without invulnerability turned on (I've never tried it this way).
Kin Posted October 16, 2001 Author Posted October 16, 2001 Avoiding T/As is very simple. Idea is point of defence. Go forward, turn off lasers, switch shields to minimum or intermediate, jump to gun turret. You are flying fast enough to blast every missile on your tail. A-Wing squadron will help you to finish off T/As and you are one to one with Executor. You can't disable it (SYS are lowered to 33%), but it is possible to destroy it (i think) with your lasers (it may take probably few hours). About points: extra points for destroying SSD, but decrease your rank because of very long mission time...
