Flying Garbage – Let’s Play Wing Commander: The Secret Missions 2: Crusade – Corsair Mission 1

  • by

We probably celebrated the retirement of the Scimitar a bit too soon. Because what we’re flying as its replacement is measurably worse in almost every way. Welcome to the Corsair system, and a harsh introduction to Kilrathi sensibilities in the cockpit of a captured Dralthi Mk. II.

In the bar before the mission, we meet one of the new pilots transferred over from the TCS Austin. Jazz seems nice enough, but maybe a little too smooth. Eh, I’m sure he’ll be fine. Oh, he’s also going to be our wingman for the next couple of missions.

There are a lot of fighters in this mission. Technically, it’s possible to go through and destroy everything, but the Dralthi is critically vulnerable to damage. There’s no reason to fight everything. Technically, the mission is a win as long as you target both Snakeirs at Nav 1. My preference is to get in a fight with the escorts there, which was how I ended up Winchester (out of all weapons).
