Loonie Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 I have absolutely no idea of how to even start it. Usually at the beginning the aliens lauch a ton-a-ships against my base and the interceptors get blown up real quick whilst TRYING to defend it. Furthermore I tried a 3:6 dogfight, the kind that would be possible on Veteran and lost without a single enemy downed. I've tried different stuff, like concentrating quickly on one UFO and then to the next also using missiles to distract the majority of the UFOs whilst we take out one of our targets and always the result is the same. WHO THE HECK HAS ACTUALLY FINISHED THIS GAME ON SUPERHUMAN DAMMIT?!? I'm really open to suggestions here when it comes to tactics and so forth. :dontgetit: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 If I could get the game working on my XP I'd try it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Strike Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 If I could get it working, as well, I would play. But, alas, I can't. The Veteran, what is your problem? Mine is the fact that I can't get it to stay working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 I just can't start a game. As soon as I try to load, start or tarin a game it crashes back to windows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duvel Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Hey Veteran/Strike, ever tried VMWare ? It's a very complex way to get a game running, but you could get a virtual Win95/Win98/DOS (whichever you want) machine, to run old games. Just a thought.

Loonie Posted October 28, 2003 Author Share Posted October 28, 2003 Heh, yup but to be frank I'm curious if anyone's done it without 'em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasSte Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I found the flight sim bit hard enough on easy mode! Regularly lost plenty of wingmen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loonie Posted December 13, 2003 Author Share Posted December 13, 2003 Um...me was kind of hoping to get some tips here rather than a discussion as to how the game can be gotten to work on various OSes. So please post them otherwise may the mods or admins close this topic down. :hmmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonred Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 The hard part is surviving until you can research the good engines and weapons. After that... here's some tips. 1) Despite it's lowly stats, the X-sidewinder missile has the hidden property that it's intangible. That means the missiles are impossible to destroy by shots, other missiles, or explosions. This makes them INSANE for destroying alien bases. Just aim your ship on the alien base on a high speed bombing run and unload EVERY missile as fast as you can mash the button. Then fly off and watch the explosion. 2) Use a Lightning with Graviton Pulse Drive, Tachyon Pulasars, the lightest armor and equipment.At around max weapon range, the enemy ships will be forced to fly in a straight line to attempt keeping up with your craft. This will let you snipe them while flying backwards with near impunity. 3) I suck at dogfights. Can't even outfly the beginning alien craft on easy. On Superhuman, neither can you... BUT, what I CAN do is create uber craft designs and dastardly tactics... which might include sniping, ramming, tractor beams, X-side winders, temporary withdrawals... it's been a long time since I played this game, forgot details.

Mazdek Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I'd be interested to hear some tractor beam tactics, I could never find a use for them. Other than gathering loot. Despite all my ranting about wanting a real flight model, I suck at dogfighting with or without gravity. I never thought of that snipe idea back when Interceptor came out. I know it now 'cause I play EVE and primarily do that there. Still die alot though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantomflare Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Tried it and couldn't survive long! I am interested to know why no one could load it onto XP, I have recently re-bought the game and works fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
