Mission 14: Raid on Sullust : I have a problem...

[Guest xaomel]

I remember the traffic jam in Athens.

 

When the light is red, it's sounds like before a Formula One Race.

And when, it becomes green, RUN !!!

At this moment, everybody begin to push the klaxon (I don't know how to say it in english, it's something which make a lot of noise).

 

They're crazy.

Hey guys but now the metro is almot built !!!

Youhou ! Well I know, it took time but I heard the first line is about to be inaugurated. Have you heard so Fondas ?

 

See you guys !

A+ !

 

P.S : unfortunately, I haven't had time to pass more than once this 14th mission.

 

P.S': but hey xaomel, those french cheese, aaaaaaah... I couldn't live without them !!! Fondas, only for that, you should come to Paris ! Well of course Crete cheese are very good too, I went there for three weeks this summer !!! lol

[Guest Little Vader]

That's pretty sad, umm, Filos tis Zennifer Paris. Err, you live in France JUST FOR THE CHEESE??? (This is a joke!)

Why is this topic so popular? Well, i guess because all the "Frenchies" are hanging out (no offense to anybody who's French; I really like Infogrames [a French game company])

Bonjour, mes amis etrangeres! Ce me plait de voir si beaucoups des types ici. Moi, j'aime la france mais je deteste les fromages...quel dommage!

 

Protocol droid: "Hello, my foreign friends! It pleases me to see so many types of people here. Me, I like France but hate cheese...how unfortunate!"

 

Thank you, C-5GX. You may shut down.

I'd also like to mention how nice it is to see the earlier rough tone gone...

[Guest xaomel]

Zennifer : I spoke only about Crete cheese, but of course, I love french cheese : that's enough to live in France. Where I do live now, in Castilla (Spain) I mean, there are lots of cheese, but all are very similar. But I will go back France next January, so...

 

Little and Imladil : We don't live in France just for the cheese. You forgot the wine !!

 

Now I change totally the subject (for a little time because then I gonna speak about spanish ham) : Fondas, what is the problem with albanians in your country ? A greek friend (a girl) always speak to me about them, saying they're all thieves, that they do stink... and some others racists things like that.

 

 

Imladil : we are not your foreign friends... YOU are a foreigner (from my point of view)

 

A+

[Guest Fondas]

Xaomel , there is a major problem with Albanian immigrants.<u>Some</u> of them are ex-convicts, members of the Albanian Mafia, or just small time criminal who have no respect for human life. As I said before, SOME OF THEM. There are a lot of family , hard working Albanians living here who do not cause problems. Unfortunately, a group of criminals has given Albanians a bad name.

 

BTW we also use the word "klaxon" when referring to the car's horn

Car Horn? Yeah, he posts here from time to time. (I'm playing with Corran Horn, another of our wingmates.)

 

Greetings again, Xaomel! I've always thought of myself as foreign. I mean, I'm a European living in North America, which makes me a fish out of water in the larger view of history.

 

Aussi, je suis beaucoup bizarre moi-meme...et en anglais, les definitions de "Bizarre" et "Etrange" sont la meme. Bizarre, non? Aaah! Ce francais me cause la casse-tete...

 

*BEEP* English language banks rebooted. You know what I like about this site? Whether it's French culture, metaphysics or videogame violence, we always talk about some interesting topics!

 

French WINE you say? Yums! Imladil like much red wine, fall down sleep. Yes.

Foreigners? Didn't you know the world revolves around North America?

[Guest Little Vader]

Tee Hee... Albain Mafia? That sounds funny.

[Guest Filos tis Zennifer Paris]

Ok guys, DON'T get me started on the albanian matters cause then we're her for centuries...

 

Well Xaomel, you must know that Albania until the end of the 80's knew the strongest dictatorship of the eastern bloc. In the 90's it was known to be, ans is now, the poorest country in Europe. I nmany villages in the mountains there, the chief is still deciding who marries who !

 

When the red line (rideau de fer) broke down, most Albanians had simply... nothing, hadn't recieved any education and knew only albanian language...

 

And just next to it, there was a country... belonging to the European Union !!! The gap (le fossé pour être précis) caused many calshes of course.

 

Besides, you must know Greece was not a country as rich, as powerful (well WAS NOT cause now, it has veeery interesting perspectives... anyway...) and not as big -especially in terms of population- as France

so it was very hard for this country to handle such a huge immigration (imagine Eastern Germans who wanted to go to West, well not that different...).

 

Well, despite ALL this, I just read recently that the greek integration of Albanians had been considered very well by Le Monde. People were listed to be followed medically, recieve an education...

 

Far far far from the xenophobic behaviour that too many french people have against immigrants from north Africa, behaviour which is strictly unacceptable.

 

I had warned you.

Please don't talk to me about NATO operation : first, it willl be MY turn to get censored, second, I'll fill up this messsageboard till the 4th millennium !!!

[Guest Filos tis Zennifer Paris]

There were actually TWO countries belonging to the European Union next to Albania : Greece and Italy, 2 countries that had quite the same problem with albanian immigration btw.

[Guest Conor]

They don't call the Balkans the 'powderkeg of Europe' for nothing. This time the U.S. lit the fuse though.

[Guest Imladil]

Politics? With foreigners?

 

Nope! (Aims his fighter at the sky and floors it) Seee-ya!

 

I don't think I can defend America's foreign policy, my friends. We are mostly a good and moral people in my country, but we sometimes think we know more than we really do. Sadly, this leads our government into all sorts of crap it has no place in--even though it's being done with the best of intentions. We hear of suffering halfway around the world, and our poor, naive selves actually think we can do some good by sticking our fat noses right into it.

 

Enough politics. I, too, could fill up some databanks...but it's an inflammatory subject, I think, so I'll leave it to cooler heads.

 

Unless it's Star Wars politics we're talking about! I found the visit to Coruscant in the new Star Wars movie very intimidating! If galactic civilization is that much of a monster, I say we shut down this whole space flight thing and go back to hunting animals with sharp sticks!

I MADE IT !!!

I passed to mission 15 ! YEEPEE !

Raid on Sullust was actually a great mission (well, I guess we always say that after we passed the mission... but still)

 

Thanx again Lujayne !

 

Ciao !

[Guest Lujayne]

No problem!

Have fun.

--L.

[Guest Little Vader]

All in a day's work, right Lujayne?

"And, your point is..."

[Guest Filos tis Zennifer Paris]

Mission 15 is hard though...

[Guest Imladil]

Greetings, Filos Tis!

 

I have an insight on the Sullust raid that might be useful. I let my girlfriend (who is an excellent Y-wing pilot) handle this level...and I was afraid of it for quite a while after she'd passed it, too!

 

--Until I tried it with the A-wing, that is! The A-wing is small and fast enough that it can handle all of the mission's requirements with ease, and its radar-jamming package gives it an advantage against those God-awful missile turrets! You have to bring the crosshairs on the turret as soon as it's in range to take advantage of the jamming, because it only gives you a second or two before the turret finds you. I like the A-wing at the Jade Moon for the same reason; I've got the run down well enough that I can take out every Imperial target on the level with only one ship (not to brag--just pointing out the A-wing's advantage against turrets! )

 

But, if you're stuck with the Y-wing, I guess you're screwed. I know that DEADDACK opens up all the levels on the N64, but for opening up all the SHIPS on any level, I'm clueless. Anyone else know how?

[Guest Lt Guilo]

Hoo, boy.....

[Guest Fens Woodlacto]

I tried the A wing on Sullest too, but it took me too long to destroy the "red and black things".

 

Does anyone have any pointers on how to get the gold on this level? The time limit is 4:00 minutes; I always come in at 4:20 or so using either the Y-wing or X-wing. I have golds on all other 18 levels, but Sullest is a thorn in my side.

 

Thanks in advance.....

[Guest Imladil]

Howdy Fens (cool name!),

 

Did you find the advanced lasers on Taloraan? They make quite a difference against the shield generators on Sullust. That, plus it helps to add a missile while you're making your run at each one.

 

The advanced lasers are hidden in the middle of the cloud city on Taloraan--the big one, just before the end of the level. I know that I made it harder on myself at Fest by not finding them the first time around. I had to wait until the strategy guide came out to discover about them...

 

Hope this helps!
