Credits: A lot of people supported me with usefull info and ideas,
and I want to thank them. Without them it wouldn't have been
possible: Alan 'Oni' Young, Billy 'Sewerman' Wagner,
Sterling A. Moses and Neal Westfall. If I forgot to mention
anyone, blame my rusty brain. (I allredy dream in Hex <g>)
DISCLAIMER: There is NO Tie-Missionbuilder YET!
What's up in this mission?
After the first Vengeance Force Mission I was eager to create
the next mission. I allready had something in mind. A mission,
where you fly the T/D against well defended Capital ships.
Okay, so far so good, but then Billy 'Sewerman' Wagner dropped
a few comments about a mission he would like to see.
I liked the idea right from the start. The ideas he shared
with me made this mission that, what it is. So all thanks to
him and all the low remarks to my addy <g>.
FWIW: Remarks ... Well, I _really_ would like to hear, what
your opinion of this mission is. I haven't got many replies
after the first two missions and a took a while until someone
mentione: 'Hey, the mission was far too easy!'
The T/D unbalances the whole game. You are close to invincible
with that kind of hardware. A good pilot in a T/D should be
able to end the Rebellion in short order <g>. That was my
intention with this mission.
This mission was the try to show the bad sides of the T/D.
Mission building is never easy, but if you give the player
a Defender, then you'll reach the limitations of your hardware
in very short time.
Where are the bad news?
Well, some of the bad news are mentioned above, but there is
more: I tested this mission thorougly, but only on hard level.
Easy and medium will probably work and they will actually be
easier than the hard level (a wonder <g>). But not by much.
So before you start complaining about errors, please try only
the hard level. That was the way I wanted you to play. ;)
I also encountered several problems with free memory. Sometimes
several important Flightgroups don't show up. If that happens,
make shure, that you have enough memory. 8MB should do it, even
if you use 2MB of it for Diskcaching (Smartdrive etc. pp). But
if you run into trouble, try to free up memory by disabeling
unneded TSR's and other stuff, not necessary for Tie.
If some Flightgroups like the CORT, the M/FRG's or the
M/CORV's still refuse to show up, then I would suggest, that
you play on Medium.
Please excuse this circumstances, but all those Flightgroups
active at the same time eat up the RAM pretty fast.
How to use it?
Copy this files into your TIE\MISSION directory.
Then run DREAM.BAT
This will install VFCCM2 as Mission one of Battle 1.
Your original mission file will be renamed into:
B1M1FM.ALT
If you want to play that original mission again, then
you have to delete B1M1FM.TIE
After that rename B1M1FM.ALT into B1M1FM.TIE
In addition:
It is possible to get more than 180.000 points for this
mission. But I hope you don't have to play this mission
a hundret times to get them. But on the other hand, I would
be pleased, if you do <g>.
Serve the Emperor ! (And have fun <g>)
