SFC Romulan, Borg Campaign and a few other questions
« on: August 12, 2003, 03:58:31 am »

 Hey Gents,

  Well,  I finally made the plunge and am enjoying SFC3.  It's different (Have all the other SFC games) but I am "starting" to get the hang of it.  I am having problems with the 1st Romulan mission.  The problems are as follows.
1)  I always get deteted.  Am I going to fast? Get too close to oblects?  Does this always suppose to happen?
2)  When I approach and scan the middle asteroid it always blows up.  This suppose to happen?
3) Once detected I need to clean the system so I start blasting but I get an asteroi down to a little bar and then I can not get it to blow up.  It ets down to a litle bar left and then the bar grows back a little and I sit there blasting for a while.  Bug?

 I want to finish this campain so I can move on the fed one.  Out of frustration I started up the Borg campaign and tried the first mission.  Got spanked!  Anyone have some Borg tactics or this one?  Should I try to lure o the enemy ships one by one?  I saw a thread on another board about Borg regenerating.  Does just the armor or the armor as well as system damage regen?  Hmmmm...  At work.  Perhaps I should have rethumbed through the manual before asking that one.

 Ships Systems.

 Ok.  I played through the Klingon campaign.  So things on ship design I was a little unsure of though.  The importance of Thruster and Impulse engines.  How important in the scope of things are hese two? I know warp engines power the weapons so I see the importane there.   Well, sorta anyway.  I mean funds are usually tight and your trying to figure out where to put the funds.  That is where feel I am "guessing" on things.  Wiith the other SFC games I knew all the details so I knew exactely what everything was.  I mean I take it a computer III gives me a better to hit than a computer II or is that not true?  Is it better to spend funds for bigger weapons or to buy a bigger warp engine to overpower the ones you have?
I guess the problem is the abstractness of some things.  Is upgading from a hruster II o III going to make a bigger difference than somthing else.  Any tips here would b greatly appreciated.

Dynaverse.

 Do many of you guys participate and if so do you have any site recommendations of places to go?

 Geez!  I guess I had a "few" questions eh?

 I am sure after I find answrs to these I'll be back for more...

 Thanks guys!

 Robert

  Okay, I'll do what I can.

Listen to your briefing, you bloody klingon =P

You're supposed to destroy the ship that detected you, but you are implicitly told NOT to destroy the asteroid! Otherwise, you're doing that right.

The borg campaign comes down to refits. Go with H-cutter-f. EVERYWHERE.

Warp core increases power, thrusters increase turn rate, impulse increases speed, Computer increases range, cloak increases difficulty of detection, Armor is like extra HP, tractors get progressively stronger, but take considerably more power to run at max effeciency, transporters increase the number of units you can transport at a time.

Hope that helped.

Make sure to turn off your sensors between scans, they increase
the range at which you will be detected.  Also the higher your speed,
the easier you are to detect.

Thanks,

Dave

Just a shot in the dark here, but are you running the "out-of-the-box" game, or have you installed the Beta patch? The reason I was wondering is that I, like some others, bought the game at Best Buy, and had the Borg mini-campaign from day one. The only problem was that it was impossible for me to complete until I got the Beta patch. The missions were much easier for me after the Beta patch. I don't know if it was due to my skills having increased from playing for a few months, or if it was the refinements of the Borg due to the Beta patch.
