Encounters: Voyager Era
Okay the first mission in this era is, I think, designed to drive you clinically insane. As such I offer you my 3-step procedure for kicking it in the teeth. It took me forever to figure all of this out…
1) Turn off vibration. This level is hard enough without the controller trying to violently free itself.
2) “His pattern indicates two-dimensional thinking” Rare is the space combat game that this comment of Spock’s doesn’t apply to. In this case hold down L1 whenever you’re near the Kazon and you’ll fly right over him without difficulty.
3) After winning the second race search out and destroy the capital ships before destroying the last of the fighters. One of them contains the Engineer’s card that DRASTICALLY improves both speed and handling - without this card there is no way in hell you’ll ever beat the mission. So remember to leave at least one fighter to last or else you won’t be able to pick up the card and you’ll be stuck in a race you cannot win.
For the most part the missions in this era are more annoying than fun, get them over with so you can move on.
And since when has Voyager been able to destroy a Tactical Cube with a single sustained phaser blast?
