Descent Freespace Mission

Title: Demon's Last Rites
Author: Robert Carroll
Mission type: Strike

Difficulty: Advanced

Objectives: Destroy a Demon class Destroyer and a Lilith class cruiser.  Omega 1 is loaded with explosives and will destroy the Demon by ramming it and exploding.

Installation:  Unzip the files.  Put demonr2.fsm into your freespace/data/missions directory.  Put cuelong.wav into your freespace/data/voice/special directory if you want an audible cue when messages appear.

Hints/Spoiler:  Even though omega 1 needs to be protected, sitting on it and guarding it is not the way to win this mission.  You have to meet the enemy head on and strike!  A good plan is to clean up the basilisks asap, or Omega 1 is in trouble when it arrives.  Once that's done, let Alpha 2 and 4 take on the Ravana.  You may want to equip Alpha 2 and 4 with disruptor missiles (not disruptor guns!).  You'll hear Alpha 3 saying shes going after some new ships that arrived.  They are scorpions and are the only real threat once the basilisks are killed.  Head them off and strike!  When the Imp transport arrives, you don't have to kill it right away.  Do enough damage and it will release its cargo, being careful not to destroy the cargo it's carrying!.  Or you can scan the cargo while it is carrying it and forget about the transport alltogether.  Another way to head off the imp is to take it's hull below 50%.  When the Ravan blows the imp will run away if it's hull is low.  Make sure you call in the Foundation after you are told to leave.  Leaving early "pressing the 1 key" is not a good idea unless you have destroyed the Ravana and Asteroth and are in bad shape.  Make sure you call in the Foundation as reinforcments once you are ordered to leave.  If you don't the Dragon fighters will turn you into space debris!
