![]() The Manticore is an extremely useful vessel in almost any fleet but is particularly effective if given a dedicated role and/or in a low point match. It is by far the most agile ship in the fleet, this along with its torpedo tubes and selective weapon placements allow it to be a perfect thorn in your enemy's sides. Thoughtful piloting can make good opportunistic use of the Manticore's two rear guns.Īs the colonial's mainline corvette the Manticore serves a variety of important roles such as scouting, flanking, harassing, chasing and executing weak enemies. Long-range compatible missile tubes and an uncommon aft-facing turret configuration makes this a versatile fighter. A lot of good information.Predominantly used for hit-and-run tactics and scouting missions, the Manticore also serves well in larger strike groups as a flanking element. There are also some very good guides written by "Sir Wagglepuss III" on Steam that can explain every ship and weapon in detail. You can find all the battles on YouTube with someone else demonstrating what the ships can do, what you are expected to do and a play-by-play of each and every battle.if that will help. ![]() I was much better prepared and had a lot more fun with the game. I played Deadlock first and then installed Broken Alliance and the Reinforcement Pack on my second play-through. You'll have to become knowledgeable about both Colonial and Cylon ships as well as both offensive and defensive weapons and what they can do.īroken Alliance missions to me were the hardest to play starting out. It's not a game you want to rush through. Almost three years later, I have beaten everything on the Admiral level, but it took some time. I almost gave it up too, but I backed up, played on the Lieutenant level and learned the game first before proceeding. There are a lot of variables and for someone who is just beginning it may really be a good idea to play on Lieutenant when you first get started. If you do continue or have to start over, I have to tell you this game has a challenging learning curve. On your first time through, you really need to play at the Lieutenant level.that's the same as "Easy," Yes, the experience is better by playing them together, but it is also more difficult. You won't get the Minerva battlestar with Deadlock or the Celestra, but you will get the Artemis, and it's the better ship anyway so it's really the only one you really need to save Tylium for. Deadlock is 14 missions, Broken Alliance will provided an additional eight. The most difficult missions of the campaign will be Broken Alliance missions. If you think you need more experience with the game before you tackle Broken Alliance, there is nothing wrong with that. The Deadlock mission where you obtain Galactica and the Jupiter battlestar won't happen until about mission 18. When played together, Deadlock and Broken Alliance missions will be mixed, they won't be consecutive, so it will be different. You can defeat the Revenant with an Adamant fleet, but it will take some fancy evade-and-missile-firing maneuvers to do it. You'll really need that Artemis battlestar because you are going to start facing the Cylon Revenant around Mission 6 or 7. ![]() The first new ships - and you are really going to need them - are the Artemis battlestar and the Celestra support ship and then the Minerva battlestar.in that order. Other new ships can be obtained by getting the Reinforcement Pack DLC, but they are not necessary to play Deadlock/Broken Alliance. ![]() It's been a while since I have played the original campaign. However, you should obtain the first battlestar - the Artemis - around Mission 6 and the Minerva around Mission 9 - if I remember correctly. You don't have to go all the way back to Mission 1 when you play Deadlock/Broken Alliance together.ĭeadlock and Broken Alliance combined will give you about a 22 Mission campaign - 18 missions if you skip the tutorial - and you won't see the Jupiter battlestar until about the last four missions. Hello Fearless, You don't have to restart, but if you do, you have the choice of skipping the tutorial - the first four missions - and starting with Mission 5.
