Spirit Dropships

In Response To: Re: Wow! Thx for the render & front page Wu! (ZaneZavin)


: I wonder if lasering the guns off the spirit dropships counts towards the
: kill volume to spawn BoB.

I think the BOB spawn is based off spawn order... I'm not sure, but there seems to be some sort of sequence that determines what enemies spawn into the level. It just so happens that the 37th enemy to spawn in is BOB (along with two generals, and always in the same location).

I don't think lasering dropships will progress you through the enemy spawns. The dropships come in cycles, with a pretty predictable pattern. One thing I am wondering is whether each dropship is new, or if they move out of the map and then back into the map. So, if you laser dropship A's cannon, then the next time dropship A comes around, is the cannon still ruined or is it back in perfect condition? If you could permanently damage all the dropship cannons, that would be immensely helpful.

Also, just thinking about spawn order, I wonder if NOT killing grunts will cause the flow of elites to slow to a trickle. If you take out grunts at a pretty high rate, you run out of grunt spawns and only elites spawn in; eventually, you get overrun. I think that for a few runs I'll just leave the grunts alone and see what happens.

Also, sorry I wasn't up for a game Zane! The Lone Wolf frustration got to be too much... decided I'd rather enjoy the nice weather instead. Another time!
