Wing Commander III & Standoff

by Ilanin

Part 131: Freya System, Vega Sector, Mission 3 (Gameplay)

Well, that wasn't quite as finished as I'd thought, but it wasn't all that far off (also, I'm distractible and The Secret World is pretty addictive). Anyway, we're back playing the game in the actual thread title, due to an overwhelming majority vote!

18th September 2669, Freya System (Mission 3), Vega Sector
TCS Victory

The Victory ambushes a wing of Kilrathi ships jumping into Freya from Kilrah.

Kills this mission: 15 There's nothing really exciting to say about this mission, which was almost as much of the motivation for doing an End Run readthrough as the fact that you fucks lumbered me with the Hellcat. When I did this with the Excalibur (guess who forgot to save the game after the playthrough you can see in the video), it took me about half the time it takes in the Shitcat. Fortunately there's almost no actual challenge to this mission, so running with the Hellcat on Nightmare wasn't particularly difficult, just annoying. We'll be out of blatant filler next mission, almost permanently (there's six missions left in the game).

Ship of the day:
Nope. There's only one ship left now, I think - Thrakhath's Bloodfang - and you can guess when that'll be showing up.

Total kills (Wing Commander III): 30 missions / 339 kills
Total kills (this thread): 56 missions / 705 kills
Total kills (including previous thread): 164 missions / 1612 kills
