SQUASH mines

Post by WarBorg » Tue, 21. Dec 04, 14:35

hy there I would like some help with the SQUASH mines in the mission where u have to get information from the destroyed gate in Brenins Triumph sector: http://polish-law.strefa.pl/

the trounble is I cant destroy those mines without them destroying me after (when the chain reaction accures :() I trued evrything even missles but they just orbit the target and then explod somewhere else thus unefecting the mine, sometimes I get a direct hit from the missle but that only accures when im very close to the mine like 1 km and when the mine goes off, chanin reaction and bye bye ship :( so what should I do ? I even have the duplex instaled thinking that the range would be gr8er this way and I wont get blown up but that didnt worked :( so pls can u help or directl me to a thread that was alredy made on this problem cause I cant find any :( thx

wasp missles do just fine sometimes you get lucky with mosquitos they may take their time to strike.

I found mosquitos were quite ok, I just had to make sure I wasn't targeting a mine through one of the gate nacelles, as otherwise the mosquito would hit the nacelle and explode.

the best thing to do is to stay 8KM from the mine and fire mosquito missiles at the squash mines until they eventually blow up, the blast shouldn't affect you at all and if you have plenty of missiles then you can blow all of the squash mines up pretty easily.

Hire a TL, and order the captain to move to a position near the gate. His shields are easily strong enough to withstand the blast.

TL - What a cool idea, it took me ages last time with the mossie's, I'll give the TL a go when I get to the mission next time!

Damn Mines

I was quite a novice when I did this, but I got to 1.41KM (I think) fired my gunes to get the Mines hull down to minimal amout, then let rip with the 3 cheap missles that I had, then backed off whilst the missile finished off the business.
At the time I thought this was quite cunning as I didnt have a clue on how to do it.

Tish, pshaw and nonsense. Any old twit can hug the event horizon of a black hole,
then loop-de-loop 'round the spinning singularity at twice the speed of light,
then slam the engines into reverse and blast out of an imploding nebula!

Just target one Mine. If you cant see them on the Gravidar, press 'T' repeatedly untill you lock on one. Then fire a missile. the cheapest ones will do. Usually it's enough to kill one mine and the blast will activate the rest.
I did it in the Nova for the first time and it wasnt that hard *ramming i mean*. Guns work also.
