Remnant mission: Visit the void sprite planets

[joefitts63]

OK, so what is the trick with this mission? As soon as I set foot in this system, I get blasted immediately.

Buy a gas craft from the Remnant and set that as your flagship, then go land on the void sprite planets (while dodging the antimatter bolts from the Archon).

[joefitts63]

LOL. I die as soon as I enter the system. I am old and slow, not a twitch player. Dodging antimatter bolts isn't an option.

Mash 'l'and as you hyperspace in, stop as soon as it sets, maybe snapshot in the previous system if particularly worried. As mentioned on receiving the mission, Gascraft are fast, and can outrun the Archon's attacks, you just can't STOP moving as you do right after hyperspace, maybe just hold the up button to cause acceleration, then hit 'l'and. Basically, the point is to keep moving, your only defense is speed. I don't manually "dodge" it either, I'm too lazy for that stuff.

[joefitts63]

I will try it. Thanks.

Took me a few tries too, try to get the archon as far as you can from the planets

[joefitts63]

It did indeed work. Thanks all.

Mmmm... You can buy a massive swarm of cheap ships to gather around your gascraft flag. You'll lose alot of money but a flak fleet gets you there in fewer tries. I get frustrated with this mission. Archie is a pretty good shot... It's odd the song doesn't mention that.

... Liberals...

This is a tricky mission. I think if a pilot is very skillful at dodging missiles, it might be possible to do this solo. Otherwise, take a few escorts and the Archon will send antimatter blobs at them. The problem is that if even one of your escorts is destroyed, the mission "fails," which doesn't make any sense to me. But I think having a bunch of escorts increases the odds of success.

those stupid little afterburners you get off the bad guys are incredible on the puffin.
you park on a gas giant before going in if you had escorts, since the puffin can do that and once there you can park ships. Then you just circle in a spiral at high speed that the AI can't hit and land and its done.
That makes it sound easier than it is -- you will get hit and need to do it a few times to practice -- but that will get it done.

[joefitts63]

I appreciate the input, but, um, guys, you do realize that this question was asked FIVE YEARS AGO, right?

[jonnin]

No, I don't generally scroll to the top to check it when its activated by someone else. Can't speak for the reactivation folks, though, but honestly steam needs to add an auto lock after 6 months on all their forums with an admin sticky/keep unlocked opt out.

Is it just me or does the Bad Guy now also have a secondary weapon? Because IT WASN'T HARD ENOUGH BEFORE?
really, wtf guys?
