Regarding Mission: Operation Gama - "Flying Blind"

[Ricco]

I'm about to rip the ciruits outa my stupid shuttle. Are you saying I can never complete this mission in this shuttle (type s) ????? Has anyone ever disabled DS9's sensor clusters???? Ever???? I managed to make it to Epsilon and couldn't destroy the Gamma repair bees in time before the whole blooooody thing reset to Alpha again!!!!!! ??????

[Running-Target]

might wanna play that at Normal difficulty. As it is you have to be only targeting those repair bees till you kill them all, then work on fighters.

[Vellari]

Focus on the repair bees indeed, worry about the fighters later.

[Ricco]

My shuttle is not fast enough to keep up with the final repairs after Epsilon. I jsut bought a new little ship, a Delta Flyer. Hoping it's enough to keep me in the game. It was only 500 zzzzen.

[Vellari]

Be sure to have an omni-beam on it, thus keep firing all the time. No time to turn around...

[Ricco]

lmao!!!!! The Flyer helped me make it through. What a world!!!

Doable in Runabout, take deployable turrets they will help with fighters and you can focus on bees.

I dislike shuttles. I do. I really, really, do.
I have been fighting this exact mission today.

[ImperatorPavel]

I usually end up skipping that mission (and the entire 2800 arc to be honest).

Fire at will + Torpedo Spread

Do any shuttles have innate Torpedo Spread or Fire At Will? Most shuttles only have an ensign station and an innate ability.

You can buy a second shuttle with energy credits that have better boff seating compared to the free one.

The freebie Danube still only has 1 ensign universal station, so you can't use Spread and FAW at the same time.

It's strange, I remember being able to use both. Give me a moment.

You are correct, only the delta flyer have two station. I recommend fire at will for the Vault and torpedo spread for Operation Gamma.

The Vaadwuar Pythus could actually use both FAW and spread. It has an ensign tac station and an ensign universal. The wiki lists the boff stations of every fighter a Federation character can comission on the Delta Flyer page (presumably the other shuttle pages as well):

Back to the main point though, that mission is really annoying.
