Thus ends the losing path for the Secret Missions. A last ditch defense of the Tiger’s Claw as she makes a desperate run for the Vega Sector while the Kilrathi throw everything they can muster against the carrier. The remaining humans in this area of space enslaved and sent to the Kilrathi Illudium mines (so that the cats can build Illudium Q36 Space Modulators, presumably). It is also, incidently, the last time we’ll ever fly a Scimitar (except possibly in one of the spin-off games such as Armada, which I’ll get to in due time.
Total failure. Of note, however, is that one of the enemy waves decides to retreat, it breaks the sequencing for the later waves. For example, in the “successful” video above, I never triggered the subsequent wave of Salthi, simply because one of the Gratha ran away.
Next week, we’ll start taking a look at the winning track instead.
