In Response To: Re: Fast Scarab boarding in The Storm (wolfman)


: the flexibility of the Scarab battles is one of my favorite parts of the campaign

Yes, the flexibility is excellent, as is the design of the Scarab itself with all those walkways and suchlike. I got kind of lost on those to begin with; went around in circles trying to find the right bit to destroy! I quite like sniping the occupants. Ok most of my Marines are probably going to perish in the meanwhile, but I can have a bit of fun, right? I mean, as a cyborg I've got to make the most of life before they stick me back in cryo.

: I like targeting the tail end with the mounted missile launcher and lobbing rocket after rocket,
: to see how many I can land before the plasma cannon takes out the rocket's stand

Ah yes, the launchers with the mysterious infinite supply of ammo - until you rip 'em off. I find them a bit frustrating because the targeting system seems to have a life of its own. You can try to point it at the sensitive bit on the back, but it might still be obstinately locked onto a leg, or not locked at all. Plus the missiles don't seem very powerful and it can take ages to get a leg to give way. Sometimes I've just given up.

: I prefer the second scarab battle, where you can launch a warthog off the central building
: and land it right on the upper deck.

That's new to me; I'll have to look into that sometime.
