Topic: Need help!..SFC III MIssion "Elusive Quarry"

[Soverign_Cdr]

Looking for some help on this mission.  I have had SFC III since it was released and have completed the Klingon an Romulan campaigns but the Fed mission  "Elusive Quarry" is hard if not impossible to complete.  I have re-started the Fed mission form scratch over and over and keep getting the same result.  I have used the Intrepid, Defiant and Excelsior or class ships and I have gotten the farthest with the Excelsior class.  Unfortunately I am the only ship left and its just me against the battlestation and the defenes platforms.  Impossible odds for just one ship.  I managed to totally disable every subsystem  on the Romulan Warbird so its just a mass of space junk but I cannot destroy it.  Would appreciate any assistance.  I assume its a bug in the script.  I am running a clean version of SFC III, only patch used is for the DX9 issue.  I was running the Beta patch but it caused more problems than it fixed so I re-installed SFC III without using the beta patch.

I'd be glad to help, i had the same problem a few weeks ago and got help on here.
I kept trying to stay away from the base because it destoryed me, so i was camping out around
the planet trying to destroy romulan ships, but this wasnt helping because my fleet
was being destoryed.  So after getting some help i tried capturing some enemy ships, but the
warbird and the remaing Romulan fleet killed me.  So one morning i got up and said, you know what
thats it you stupid Romulans, so i decided to do an all out frontal assualt on the base.
Tell your fleet first thing to destory the base, before the warbird shows up, then warp over
to a coulpe of the defense plat forms and takeover a couple of them, then get farther away, you
will also need to take one of the Romulan crusiers, make shure you are out of the bases
weapons range, tell your fleet now(two fed ships, two defense platforms, and a romulan ship) to
attack the base.  The base goes down pretty quick after you get all these ships togeather.
Also you can attack the base to help them out, make shure you launch all your shuttles so your
not the only ship getting shot at.  Once the base is gone work on the Warbird, you
cant destory it, it will warp out of the system once you get it to fifty percent damage, then
destory the rest of the romulan ships, there should be a couple of crusiers and a peskey
frigate that is hard to destory, after that mission complete.  I used a galaxy class that
had full shileds, and good thrusters, also you need fast impulse and a powerful warp core,
the galaxy class is esential because it can hold more mariens.  Dont for get to use your shuttles
and mines, you need a good tractor beam to take over a romulan crusier, its really nice
to have one of those as your friend, if you have any other questions email me.

I think this is the mission were the Romulan Admiral's warbird can't be destroyed. Let her run and go for the other ships. I disabled her ship and had to push her ship (using a tractor beam) over the red border to end the mission. It has been awhile since playing these missions. She will attack you until she takes some damage, but save your firepower for the rest.

Hope it helps.
