[TC] Unkown sector between Argon Sector M148 and Nathan's Voyage full of Khaak

Post by Lord of Marzipan » Mon, 30. Apr 12, 23:17

I'm working through Final Fury mission 3 where I have to escort a TL as it sets up three mines whilst being attacked by Khaak. I started out with a corvette(can't remember which type), but I couldn't keep all the enemies away from the TL so I switched and got myself a frigate (a demios I think) but I still kept getting overwhelmed by Khaak corvettes. So, I tried again in a missile frigate (an aquilo) full of flail and hammer missiles but it didn't matter how many Khaak I killed, I kept running out of missiles and getting overwhelmed. I just tried a final time, with not one but three fully outfitted Boreas', and I still can't get the sector clear. Every time I jump back into the sector with something bigger and better I find the number and type of Khaak ships is significantly greater than it was the last time. Now whenever I jump in my entire screen is full of Khaak M2s, which kills my framerate (my computer isn't that old, but it's getting a little long in the tooth), to the extent that I only get ~5/6 FPS, no where near enough to fight the Khaak off with!

So here's my question, what can I do about this? Is there a cheat or a script I can use to move myself along in the Final Fury plot, or kill all the Khaak in a particular sector? I'll settle for something that stops more Khaak from jumping in to the sector whilst I'm trying to clear it out!

TL;DR I'm stuck on a mission due to a sector full of Khaak, I can't get rid of using conventional methods, is there a cheat or a script I can use?

you could use cycrows cheat scripts to destroy all ships in that sector.

otherwise OFF's dificultly is related to your fight rank, if you went off between attempts doing combat missions then your only making things harder on your self :D If you dont want to cheat then you literally need a whole fleet of flak based ships and a couple of destroyerds to take out the larger threats.
I used to list PC parts here, but "the best" will suffice!

You must have a very high fighter rank, I didn't have that problem at Vindicator (I think I was around that at the time of Final Fury). Yeah, I'd go for cheats at that stage too, find the cheat package by Cycrow here. It has instructions and many various ways to cheat, plus it's fun to play around with and set up scenarios where Kha'ak/Xenon obliterate Commonwealth sectors. Everything you'll need will be there. Have fun! :P

IIRC, the Kha'ak respawn until the entire OFF mission ends. You don't need to clear the sector, you just need to protect the convoy until it reaches it's destination.
This is only a virtual reality.

stay OOs for OFF missions, once final is done you can go trough it jaywalking

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

This is what I did in the end, the sector was so full of Khaak that my computer was unresponsive for a good few minutes while it got rid of them all.

No idea what caused all the Khaak to spawn, my combat rank wasn't even that high!

There are a number of escort missions where you do not need to attend.
They just complete while you are OOS.
This sector mission is one of them.

Must admit the first time I tried,I was swarmed by Kha'ak Corvettes.
Retried and intended to get a bigger , more powerful ship before completing the mission.
To my surprise I got the "Mission Complete" message before I could get back to do it. :D
