Topic: Single Player Campaign - ELUSIVE QUARRY

[Sheva]

Hi
I hope that I hit the correct forum for this..

I've started a new single player campaign and, I'm frustrated. At first, a klingon mission (where I should protect the Unity base from freighters) wont start, because nothing is moving, even the ships are failing, I have to scan. Okay then I tried the federation campaign and here is the next mission, which is not makeable.

Ship: Souvereign - 3 quantum torpedos, two lvl 12 phaser and two pulse phaser. rest on maximum.

- The first battle: I fly in warp with all other ships to the battlestation and get destroyed. 10 seconds maybe.

- Next Battle: I let the ships (I cant command) fly to the battlestation and I try to kill the defense plattforms from behind. I cant even scratch their shields.
Going into close combat - boom.

- Next Battle: I try to fire in artillery modus: I go very slowly to the defense paltforms and try to take them out only with my quantum torpedos. No chance, the platforms have a haigher weapon range. Boom

- Next Battle:
I warp dirctly after the start to the planet near the battlestation. I beam a marine over and take the planet. All weapons are now addicted to the planet. I think: Fine, then I can attack everything from the background. Well, no. When I get close, I get shot down.
But with this tactic, a single defense platform was within my weapon range and it was shooting at the planet. So I was able to take one from 4 out. No scratch at the battlestation.

- Next Battle:
Tried to do it with a cloaked Defiant. Well, no, bad idea. I come near, but when I decloak, I get shot.

In every battle, I was able to take down all enemies, but not the installations.

There is one way, I maybe can do it: I increase the weapon Range of my quantum tuben on 80. Then, maybe, I can do it, when I'm VERY close to the planet. But with this tactic, I wont kill the shields, I think.

So, any suggestions? I dont see, how anyone even could get close to the station and survive over 30 seconds. And within this time, I have to destroy the battlestation, yes? No way!

Please help me!

Have you tried the other scripted options.. such as sending the shuttle with the Infiltrator.. have you read the mission briefing.. have you tried the Comms Channel and open dialog? .. not all missions are direct Combat.. you have to use your intelligence as well as systems on your ship other than Weapons.
