Mission 8 and 9 in Starlancer

Here you can discuss tactics and strategies to best beat your opponents. What is the best loadout for each ship? How do you use "Reverse Thrust" and "Sliding"?

Mission 8 and 9 in Starlancer

I don't know what I do wrong, but I got excellent recommendations regarding the previous missions, but mission 8 seems to be always a failure (even if I succeeded to save the Reliant I get slapped on my fingers because the ship has been damaged....) Anyone who can give me a very good tactic to get everything straight?

And mission 9, I can't seem to do what I'm asked to do....

I see living people...

It's been a while since I played Starlancer. Which missions are 8 and 9?

Mission 8 is where you must escort the Reliant to some fort and suddenly a Class2 carrier (Krasnaja) appears.....

Mission 8 load out a ship with tons of quick locking missiles for torps.

When you get out the reliant turn around and burn towards where the capship comes out. I ignore the fighters save those directly in my path and take out the engines and turrets (I don't always get all the turrets before the bombers arrive)
When the bombers are arriving burn towards the first and lock onto the torp (Press T). Once this is done fire your missile and destroy the bomber.
Now you have 3 bombers left, use the T button and go for all the torps, press T kill the torp, press T kill the next and so on. Once done you can continue with the rest of the mission.

I'll give you 9 when I look at the guide to remind myself.

aah yes the take out anything that moves mission. Load up with fast locking missiles again and head into the mission. You have to disable the target ship but I recommend destroying a few fighters and kurgens first, this way your boarding ship isn't toasted when it arrives. Once the boarding ship is on destroy remaining fighters including some that jump in.
After this I head to the front of the convoy and take out the shield generators on the big cruisers so they can be torped. After they are toasted you get a mayday from the boarding ship, when you warp in take out as many of the traitors fighters as possible or take on the colonel himself (You cannot kill him but you can force him to retreat).
Then you are finished, try saving some missiles for the renegade attack from the traitors, it makes it easier!!


Hope it helps and have fun
