Thank the force! Alderaan is saved! :D

I felt great relief in the Force, as if a thousand voices cried out in terror and then suddenly went "phew!".

[jo_corvent]

hahahahahahaha ... that's ok, but... I'm still stuck in that mission... : (

[funewchie]

Which mission is this?
Story Mode - Empire? Or is this "Death of Alderaan" Campaign Mode? Or something else?

[jo_corvent]

Story Mode, with the Empire, the mission when you use for the first time the death star to destroy Alderaan... there's a countdown, it suppose to reach cero and a switch will appear, but nothing happens, I even use the short cut key to activate the death star, but only the countdown disappears and... nothing... now I just wanna cry in a corner, those million people saved by a glitch...

(sorry for my english)

[jo_corvent]

btw thanks for replying

...Those Alderannians are smug and arrogant. Probably laughing at the Empire, some flashing crude gestures, and even a few mooning the Death Star. They must be punished!

Anyways, I do know that in Story Mode, you don't actually fire the superlaser at Alderaan. Once the countdown reaches zero, you should auto-win.
If not, then you need to at least finish the battle.

But Alderaan's destruction in Story Mode happens automatically, on the galaxy map.

hehehe I don't know... when the countdown reach zero nothing happens... so, my starships stay there doing nothing... and thats because they already destroyed the rebels cruisers

The no destruction of alderaan its against the nature and the space-time will.

I don't know it for sure... but I think that will affect the course of the following events...

[jo_corvent]

please. somebody help me I don't know what to do :(

[Cryocrax]

You can't do it if you have units selected.The switch is behind them.

I already tried that... still nothing nothing is selected.. still nothing happens... any other suggestions? thx for the reply BTW...

[Warcon]

I have the same problem. Did you find a solution to this?

[debbieandcory]

you can do it by having no units exept the death death star.

It's not possible. You always have some default units on the map if you use the death star in that mission. I also tried to reinstall it but that doesn't work either. :-S

[jo_corvent]

yes, if you conquer Alderaan before you take there the death star, you cannot destroy it, but if the planet belongs to the rebels, it can be easyly destroyed.
