Guest qrook Posted June 23, 2000 Posted June 23, 2000 Hello, I'm from bonny Scotland - where all the best space flight engineers come from! I 'arrived' a couple of weeks ago as a new member of Rogue Squadron, hoping to pick up some good gen about the most difficult missions; Corellia, Gerrard V, Imperial Yards, Kessel (2), Taloraan, Fest, Sullust, Thyferra, Beggar's Canyon, the Trench and Hoth - make your own list. [it took me a while to get gold at each of those, though now only Sullust and Thyferra still prove troublesome.] In the event, I only picked up a couple of really useful tips (for which many thanks). [i should, perhaps, explain that the game, Rogue Squadron, came bundled with my new PC; just the CD and no manual. So I had to learn nearly everything by experiment.] Several of the things I've learned seemed to be unknown (undiscussed?) here (and elsewhere), so I started to 'publish' my own strategies and tactics in the Strategy forum - to a resounding round of . . . silence - and a couple of frivilous suggestions. [Thanks, 'lil lady; your story about the B-wing seems to have confused Rookie.] Undaunted, I've now published my strategy for Thyferra, together with my solution to the problem of the kamikazes there. I also have solutions, with (so far as I know) unique insights to some other missions; Gerrard V, Kessel (2) and Taloraan, in particular. Would anyone like to hear/discuss them? I'm especially interested to know if all/any of my 'original' discoveries (how to bypass the scanners and use the rampart at the Yards, how to take out missile launchers in an X-wing, how to deal with the kamikazes at Thyferra and Taloraan, how to use seeker missiles without having to wait for them to 'lock', and so on) are already well-known. [i've seen a passing reference to a Strategy Guide for Rogue Squadron. Does it have all these ideas in it? Or are they in the game manual?] But most of all, of course, I'd like to know what clever tricks I've missed; has anyone ever lassoed the pair of Tuskers at Hoth in one go, for instance? It seems to be an obvious shortcut, but all my attempts fail miserably. But, enough about me. How have you been? Chas.

Guest Rogue Posted June 23, 2000 Posted June 23, 2000 well hello the rules are......well Chillin will cover them. Right Chillin, I thought so ------------------ "Luke I am your cousins, roommates, plumbers,favorite authors, boyfriend,girlfriends. Mother wait I mean father!" "What does that have to do with us?" "Absulutly NOTHING.HaHa your mine!!!" (You here light Sabers clashes) "Luke come to the NeoSide!" "Never!" (you here a head fall off and roll of the bridge) "(sob sob) He was my friend , Well I'm over that Well sucks to be him
Guest The Master Posted June 23, 2000 Posted June 23, 2000 Yep always leave it for someone else to do.
Guest Imladil Posted June 23, 2000 Posted June 23, 2000 Imladil=full grown male. Not li'l lady. But yes, that particular prank is one of my hallmarks... Welcome, qrook. I always learn when I read your posts. We don't always talk the game in the lounge here, so it's refreshing to actually think about strategy and tactics. May as well break ya in right. So what's your favorite starfighter? ------------------ "I sought the true nature of reality but discovered instead the real nature of truth." --Thrustweasel of Earth
Guest Rogue15 Posted June 23, 2000 Posted June 23, 2000 I got a gold medal in all the levels without cheating it was very hard. First i used cheat codes though which i regret using. Playing with the ACE difficulty code is pretty fun.
Guest Lt Cracken Posted June 23, 2000 Posted June 23, 2000 Let be the first of the Manegment here to welcome you. If you see the rank Corvi, or Supream Allied Commander, you're talking to either a Moderator, or a Administrator, and there are NO OPENINGS (even though we enjoy the enthusiasm). I case your wondering, it's 30 posts till you reach the next rank, and unless you become a moderator or admn, which I don't see happening to anyone (sorry), the ranks of Corvi and S.A.C are off limits. anyother questions? (this has been a brief F.A.Q of our forums, you may now return to your regularly schedualed programing.
Guest Chillin Posted June 23, 2000 Posted June 23, 2000 Well I don't want to cover rules cause I always do that. You said you didn't have the manual Grook so I'll say a couple of things you might not know about the game. Actually I can't sorry, I have the N64 version and it's a little different. However to get at turrets without getting shot at all you should fly srtaight down at them from above. I really don't ever use this attack, but it can be fun at times. And I have a request for you, tell me how you bypass the scanners and use the ramparts, whatever those are. Anyway since I guess I really have nothing more to say I guess I will tell you the rules. This will be a set of rules that would actually be useful and not some jokes, well mostly. 1. Don't use any profanity, you can do stuff like this a**, but don't spell it out. 2. Try not to take everything people say here seriously, because not many people here are serious ever, but sometimes they are. 3. Post often. Don't be afraid to jump in at any old disscusion, we value everyone's opinion and we don't bite. 4. Keep an open mind. We sometimes have disscusions about religion and God and you may not agree with what someone believes, but they're not trying to offend anyone, and evryone is entitled to there own opinion. 5. Things can get pretty funny around here, sometimes a little wierd. So be prepared to laugh. 6. Now for some not so serious ones. Everyone here obeys The Master (not really but we like to humor him) 7. This is the most important. Send 10 dollars to me Chillin every time you post. j/k So there ya go there are the rules everyone obeys, and some they should. But whatever you do here be sure you're having fun. Pretty good set a rules for some imature kid huh Imladil ------------------ "The pen is mightier than the sword. Thats the biggestload of s**t!"
Guest qrook Posted June 24, 2000 Posted June 24, 2000 Hi, HiddenTalon. [i'm v.e.r.y tempted to click on Mr. Smiley. But I won't, if you say so.] Lo, Rogue. [When I've figured out what your question is, I'll tell you the answer.] Who *exactly* is The Master? Is he related to the villain who made Dr. Who's life a misery for a while over here, in the 70s? [Do/Did you have Dr. Who?] Imladil, Hi! [This damn keyboard can't spell very well. Sorry.] My favourite starfighter is, of course, the X-wing. You can never really get over the first gal you fell for. Rogue15, Lo. Like you, I got my golds, finally, the hard way. But I also couldn't resist trying out some of the cheats to see some of what was coming. ACE I haven't tried though. I will, but at Mos Eisley or Barkhesh first. Thyferra is still a hard one as it is. Yessir, Lt Cracken, Sir. [but I'll send you a copy of my CV anyway.] Chillin, nice to know you. But it's Grook with a Q, as in Queen's Rook. I'll be trying out the nose-dive on some turrets soon, but I don't think it'll help at Calamari, where I need it most. Read all about bypassing scanners and using the rampart in my post to the Strategy forum on 12th June; Imperial Construction Yards. [And your $10 is in the post.]
Guest The Master Posted June 24, 2000 Posted June 24, 2000 I didn't have that in mind when I named myself. (I have always had this name.) And I have watch Dr. Who before. I have almost all the tapes.
Guest Chillin Posted June 24, 2000 Posted June 24, 2000 Yeah we have Dr. Who here qrook, sorry about the misspell. ------------------ "The pen is mightier than the sword. Thats the biggestload of s**t!"
Guest Imladil Posted June 24, 2000 Posted June 24, 2000 Quote: "You never really get over the first gal you fell for." Can I help it if I'm picturing Scotty from Star Trek? Actually, I bet Scotty would've made a top-notch X-wing pilot. Captain Kirk, though, would've flown an A-wing... ------------------ "I sought the true nature of reality but discovered instead the real nature of truth." --Thrustweasel of Earth

Guest Shootist Posted June 24, 2000 Posted June 24, 2000 Welcome Qrook, my aunts and uncles hang in the old geneology tree, they say we're from Scotland. However there's a town in the S.W. of Jolly old England that bears our name. And an unusual family name it is! Sometimes I get a might by it all. ------------------ VERY FUNNY SCOTTY, now please beam down my PANTS!!! [This message has been edited by Shootist (edited June 24, 2000).]
Guest Imladil Posted June 24, 2000 Posted June 24, 2000 My earliest ancestor in America was a Scottish soldier who defected from the British army during the American revolution. I'm not sure, but I think this makes me a Scot in good standing.
Guest The Master Posted June 24, 2000 Posted June 24, 2000 And I am part Scottish. Without the accent. So we all are Scottish! So pass me a Scotch!
Guest Imladil Posted June 25, 2000 Posted June 25, 2000 Okay. *(Sticks a length of cellophane tape on The Master's nose.)*
Guest Imladil Posted June 26, 2000 Posted June 26, 2000 *(Imladil wraps the entire roll of scotch tape around The Master's head, preventing further argument.)*
Guest George the Armadillo Posted June 26, 2000 Posted June 26, 2000 I am not Scottish. I am an Armadillo. Hrm, someone is hurling whiskey bottles at me... ------------------ I've never done a stupid thing in my entire life, with the exception of all that stuff I did
Guest Chillin Posted June 26, 2000 Posted June 26, 2000 Looks like we're gonna have to bring out the heavy artilary, duct tape!
Guest Shootist Posted June 27, 2000 Posted June 27, 2000 Staples and Velcro work too!! ------------------ VERY FUNNY SCOTTY, now please beam down my PANTS!!!
