Single Player troubles

You are right.

I'll put armor downgrades on SP ships, as for weapons, I guess they'd better stay as they are. It really adds challenge.

By the way, since 4.80 Rheinland gunboats from SP have one missile turret instead of two.

You could also make it an optional choice.

I like how most ships are harder in singleplayer .. mostly because they use shield batteries and nanobots .. it's a good challenge for thoose who have already complete the original SP campaign.

I'd like the fighters just a tad easier though .. but not as easy as in the original.
The gunboats and battleship are, as we discussed, still impossible , and need to be way easier.

And you're right about the gunboats having one less missile turret .. I just compared the battleship stats.

I created an account just so I could chime in on this subject.

Using Discovery 4.80 and nothing else.

I am playing the story mission "Expose The Traitor" where you have to escort / protect the convoy carrying artifacts to Research Station Willard.

My problem begins after the convoy strikes a mine and comes under attack by Outcast fighters. This is an incredibly difficult fight. I have attempted it at least a dozen times and I have not succeeded yet. The best I have done is to kill all but about four enemies. Sometimes the convoy is destroyed by the attackers within only a few minutes because I don't take the enemies out fast enough. (Like I said, it is very difficult.) But most of the time I am the one being destroyed. I totally get raped over and over again. I am using missiles and mines and batteries like crazy, but I just can't win.

I was really getting into the game, and enjoying the Discovery mod, but this has stopped my game cold and I am getting really frustrated. I refuse to use cheats because it would ruin it for me.... and I really don't want to start over with the mod uninstalled.

Has anyone else had trouble with this mission??

I look forward to when this issue gets fixed. :(

What ship are you using? I had to beat it in a Dagger. I play the storyline as a pirate, so... That makes it easier to get a Dagger.

Yes, that mission is very hard, but not impossible. If you cannot beat it go to My Documents, My Games, Freelancer, then open Preferences. Near the bottom you'll see DIFFICULTY: 1.00 Change that to 0.5 or 0.75 for easier or slightly easier gameplay. Reduction in difficulty will lower damage done by NPC ships and Might make them slightly weaker to you.

This is great advice. Thanks for responding. I totally wasn't thinking of this.

I think I'll try a few more times on difficulty 1.00 before reducing it. I thought of some new tactics to try while I was at work today.


If I run into any more Discovery related issues, I'll make sure to report them.
