Duhjoker Lieutenant (Junior Grade) Posts: 49 Joined: Fri Jun 27, 2014 4:26 pm	Welcome to Saganami Island Academy the Royal Manticoram Officers training school. Here you will learn to command your ship and fight battles using the doctrine of David Webers Epic Honorverse Saga. Now I have been reading around and have seen that a lot of people are having a difficult time getting through the game. I myself admit that I have also had a difficult time with it too. I actually had to go through the arduous task of starting a new game thanks to the Willis in the Sachsen sector. A ship that if your not properly prepared will leave you frustrated and ready to give up. Hopefully with this guide we will be able to solve that problem. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First things first. Go to your mobile devices App Store, find the Tales of Honor: The Secret Fleet app/game and download. After the download is complete, click on the Icon and start the game. After a couple minutes of load time you will be given a chance to sign into Game Center or sign in without using Game Center. Pick your sign in and continue. You will now be introduced to yourself as the Captain of the HMS Galahad and your crew. Then you will fight a short tutorial battle that you can't lose, then a tutorial about your ship and it's systems. We will start with Battle mechanics. The Galahad has three defense sets and one offense. The defenses are as follows. Rolling:: rolling your ship directs your impeller wedge to catch any incoming missiles. Your ships wedge is impenetrable so even Bomb Pumped Lasers or BPL's get absorbed into the wedge. Lasers:: Lasers zap enemy missiles in range and destroy them. Counter missiles:: counter missiles aim to destroy incoming missiles. For now you only have one missile battery and after boosting the system you will fire five missiles at once. You can also change your salvos by tapping the arrow above your firing button. Just tap, tap the missile you want and fire. Now we get into ships systems. To begin with there are 6 system compartments and each one needs to be fully level boosted to enhance the effects of that system. On your ship screen and in compartment mode you will some full boxes and some empty boxes next to each system name. These are what you want filled to enhance your ship. To further enhance your ship you will want to earn/buy components to install in the component cells and conduit to connect and chain your components together. Most components stack together or chain. One example is adding more than one level booster and upgrading them will make your system levels higher. Another example is adding several composite payload components to your weapons bay will make your missiles do more and more damage to enemy hulls. Note::: not all components stack together. For example Disruptor components do not stack. Now let's get into ships systems. We will start with the bridge and follow the circuit. Bridge:: Bridge level indicates how fast your ship rolls. You can make it even faster by adding thruster components. Sidewalls::: Sidewall levels indicate how many missiles can be stopped by your Sidewalls. Lasers:: Laser system level indicates how many lasers you can fire at incoming missiles. Counter Missiles::: Counter Missile levels indicate how many counter missiles can be fired at incoming missiles. Engineering::: Engineering level indicates your hull points. You can raise this by adding Alloy Armor. Weapons:: Weapons level indicates how many missiles you can throw at one time. There are all kinds of component upgrades you can earn by fighting random battles and buy at outposts. Make a good mix of faster refresh components and a disruptto make your systems charge faster and to cripple enemy ship systems. Buy level boosters and always be upgrading. Crew Levels::: Crew levels mean you can upgrade components to higher levels and speed up your repairs during combat. I want to add that you can only buy certain components in certain sectors, so make sure you have enough of the items you need from outposts before leaving a sector. You will most likely be receiving a new ship after each sector so buy a few more than you will need. Salvage Boxes::: Salvage boxes come in different Rareties. The rarer the box the better the loot. But beware just because you get a certain salvage box does not guarantee the loot. White= Common Green= Uncommon Blue= Rare Purple= Very Rare Legendary This rarity guide is also true for earning/buying components. The color represents the rarity. Componemts:: Components are classified the same as salvage boxes white being common and orange legendary. Most components like the level boosters and refresh rate components stack creating more effect but some components like weapons and lasers disrupters do not stack. Note:::: Some unique and legendary components can only be installed once in a system. Or to put it simply, you can only put one unique item in that particular bay. An Example is the hypervalent NAV component which you can only install one of in your bridge bay. Outside of the live event rewards there are 5 component categories that have items tagged as unique. 1) The simultaneous upgrade components: Upgrade Power Shunt, Upgrade Ventricle 2) The component upgrade-time reduction components: 1 for each of the 5 rarities 3) The officer upgrade-time reduction components: 1 for each of the 5 rarities 4) Increases max warp charges: Hypervalent NAV Process 5) Multi-touch fire fighting: Fire Mitagation Manifold Missiles::: Missiles come in all types. Some shred your lasers, some shred your counter missiles and some shred your missiles. Pay attention to missile colors so you know which defense works best for what missile. Missile Defences::: Hull penetrators = any defense Laser disruptor= Roll, Counter missiles, ECM Nx-2 Nukes= any defense M1-antimatter = any defense but sidewall EMP pulser= Laser, counter missiles , sidewall M-14 hellfires = any defense Mavericks = Lasers,ECM, sidewall. MK-13 BPL= any defense but sidewall Missile Effects:: Hull penetrator damages Hulls Lasers Diruptors = shreds laser systems Nx-2 Nukes = shreds hulls M-1 antimatter = shreds Sidewall systems EMP Pulsor = shreds ECM systems M-14 Hellfire = shreds weapons systems Maverick = shreds counter missile systems MK-13 BPL = shreds all systems especially Sidewalls Battle Difficulty:: Battles increase in difficulty by color of writing used to brief you on your mission. White = easy Green = hard Blue = even more difficult Orange = most difficult Weekly Live Events:: Weekly live events are challenge fights consisting of Three system fights or Wave battles that consist of three ships one fought right after the other consecutively and grow in difficulty as you progress. Play multiple times for better chances of earning Rare,Very Rare and Legendary components or loot. You can also pick your degree of difficulty. But don't lose, you will be instantly warped back to the sector you were working. Difficulties listed as ::: EASY MEDIUM HARD Loot Rewards:: Loot rewards come in the fooling. RARE VERY RARE LEGENDARY Pre-Battle Bonus:: Before each battle you will be given a set of three choices that are bonus'. Pick one to boost your ship systems, or earn extra resources. Bonus' are as follows. Scrap Salvage Bonus::-------------------- + Salvage Missile Salvage Bonus::: ---------------- + Salvage Component Salvage Bonus::------------- + Salvage Crew Salvage Bonus::--------------------- + Salvage Prestige Salvage Bonus::------------------ + Salvage Increase Hull Points::------------------------ + Engineering Enhanced Hull repairs::---------------------- + Engineering Damage Avoidance::------------------------ + Engineering Boost Missile Armor::------------------------ + Weapons Faster Weapons Loafding::---------------- + Weapons Faster Missiles::-------------------------------- + Weapons Increase System Damage:: ------------------ + Weapons Boost Laser Defenses::----------------------- + Lasers Over-charge Lasers::--------------------------- + Lasers More Power to ECM's::------------------------- + ECM First Shot::---------------------------------------- + Bridge Improved Rolling::----------------------------- + Bridge Bigger Missile Payloads::----------------------- + Counter Missiles Boost Counter Missiles:: ----------------------- + Counter Missiles Enemy ship defenses :: Enemy ship defenses are listed with each ship you fight in sector and includes random battles and side quest ships. Defenses are color coded as follows. @= Sidewalls @= ECM @= Counter missiles @= Lasers Note:: This game requires a lot of grinding and farming. Most of the components needed to upgrade your ship enough to get through System battles cannot be bought from outposts and must be won through fighting lots of random and side quest battles. Be prepared to spend around 20 Hours and more per sector to earn the Components you need. I think I've covered all the basics and need to knows to get started but if I have left anything out please message me and I will list it. All right so let's start playing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nemea Sector:: The first two sectors are the easiest sectors you will travel through. They are meant as training to get you used to using the right defenses and proper offenses. I never lost a battle here. I wouldn't worry about using special payload missiles during these battles unless you just like the Flair or want to waste resources that could be better saved for future upgrades. Start by fighting your way through Nemea sector and don't forget to fights lots of repeat battles and I mean a ton. You will need the resources to buy much needed components. Listed below are the components you will need to start with HMS Galahad Class:: Destroyer Hull points::: 1000 Missile tubes::: 1 Defenses::: Lasers, Counter missiles Crew::: 600 Energy blocks per system::: 5 Bridge::: Add some resource generators but don't buy the ones in Nemea sector instead wait and get them at out post MN-02. Buy/earn an upgrade power shunt which allows for more upgrades. Sidewalls::: Installing a side wall disruptor and faster refresh components are best Lasers::: Start by installing a laser disruptor component and a cool down component. By doing so your missiles kill the enemies lasers and refresh faster. Counter Missiles::: Same as above start by adding a disruptor and cool down component. Engineering::: Start by adding alloy armor and a nanite factories to give you more hull points and making your hull regenerate faster. Weapons::: Fill your component cells here with three payload enhancers or faster load components.The next sector gets harder and you will need them till you can afford better payload enhances in the Sachsen sector.

It's a lil more difficult than Nemea but you should do fine as long as you have been installing level boosters from the last sector. I still haven't used a special payload missile. There are random battles starting in this sector so you will want to start fighting a lot of them to earn resources and components.

You are gonna need to spend a few days here buying/earning components and upgrading your crew and components. Once this is done you can move on but read ahead to make sure your prepared for the next sector, it gets even more difficult. Side quests start in this sector also, so you want to make sure and complete these. Side Quest:: Side quests involve playing lots of random battles to fill a certain quota or complete a certain random battles. They are medium difficulty to Hard but you should have no problem to beating them. Upgrading the HMS Courageous::: HMS Courageous:: Hull points:: 1500 Missile tubes:: 2 Defenses:: Lasers, ECM, Counter missiles. Crew: 800 Energy blocks per system:: 7 except ECM which is 4 The HMS Corageous is not much bigger than the HMS Galahad but the plus is you get a new defense the ECM, another missile battery and more component spaces. The ECM works by frying the enemy missiles electronics and guidance systems. First off the HMS Corageous needs lots of power. The first thing you will want to do is buy some Level Booster Core II'sat the first outpost to boost your ship levels. Bridge::: You will want to earn a power shunt and a hypervalent navigational component here in this system to give you more upgrades at a time and to give you more warp charges. And add more thrusters. Sidewalls::: Want to make sure you have a sidewall disruptor and start upgrading a few optic armors. The next system uses a lot of Bomb pumped lasers so be protected ahead of time. Lasers::: You want to buy/earn 3x nuclear pump laser components here and one laser disruptor to speed up your lasers refresh rate and to damage the enemies laser system. Counter Missiles::: you want one disrupter component and a cool down or two. ECM:: you want to make sure you have enough cool down components for the next sector. Engineering::: be sure to earn some 800mm Alloy armors. Weapons:: Fill your component spaces here with three or faster load components.The next sector gets harder and you will need either speed or might depending on your tactics. TIP:: You want to fight enough Rare, and Legendary battles along with side quests to earn either two Prototype Z-RZ booster or One Ghost-Ion Capacitor for each bay here. By doing so you can remove one to two Level Booster Core II's from each bay allowing you to add more helpful components like defense refresher components. This will also vastly increase your odds of being able to defeat the Sachsen sector boss Wernecke without too much difficulty.

Your next ship is bigger which means more component cells. So be sure you have everything you need before leaving Sachsen sector. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mannassas Sector::: Upon entering this sector you will recieve a communique instructing you to take care of the slave problem in the area. You also recieve the Q-ship HMS Dauntless. A Q-ship is a heavily modified merchant ship with concealed weaponry. The idea is to fool an attacking ship into thinking your a defenseless freighter then then destroying said ship when it comes into close contact. HMS Dauntless::: Class:: heavy cruiser / Q-ship Hull points:: 5000 Missile tubes:: 3 Defenses:: Laser, counter missile and ECM. Crew:: 1,200 Energy blocks per system:: 10 This ship is a heavy cruiser not much bigger than a light cruiser but with massive amounts of defenses and weapons tubes. There were only a couple of component cells added to each system bay. Of course with a bigger ship you will need more power. Go ahead and play the first couple sectors so you can start buying Level Booster III'sThe old boosters won't power t you up much but you should still be able to stave off any attackers till you can afford the new ones. Again as long as you have been following the guide the battles in this sector are easy. I never fired one special payload missile. The last three missions are Manpowers slave holding outposts. They cannot roll but can fire a lot of missiles at once though it shouldn't be problem. Each gains a lil more HP, the last being 5000HP.

Welcome to Saganami Island Academy the Royal Manticoram Officers training school. Here you will learn to command your ship and fight battles using the doctrine of David Webers Epic Honorverse Saga.

Now I have been reading around and have seen that a lot of people are having a difficult time getting through the game. I myself admit that I have also had a difficult time with it too. I actually had to go through the arduous task of starting a new game thanks to the Willis in the Sachsen sector. A ship that if your not properly prepared will leave you frustrated and ready to give up. Hopefully with this guide we will be able to solve that problem.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First things first. Go to your mobile devices App Store, find the Tales of Honor: The Secret Fleet app/game and download. After the download is complete, click on the Icon and start the game. After a couple minutes of load time you will be given a chance to sign into Game Center or sign in without using Game Center. Pick your sign in and continue.

You will now be introduced to yourself as the Captain of the HMS Galahad and your crew. Then you will fight a short tutorial battle that you can't lose, then a tutorial about your ship and it's systems.

We will start with Battle mechanics. The Galahad has three defense sets and one offense.
The defenses are as follows.

Rolling:: rolling your ship directs your impeller wedge to catch any incoming missiles. Your ships wedge is impenetrable so even Bomb Pumped Lasers or BPL's get absorbed into the wedge.

Lasers:: Lasers zap enemy missiles in range and destroy them.

Counter missiles:: counter missiles aim to destroy incoming missiles.

For now you only have one missile battery and after boosting the system you will fire five missiles at once. You can also change your salvos by tapping the arrow above your firing button. Just tap, tap the missile you want and fire.

Now we get into ships systems. To begin with there are 6 system compartments and each one needs to be fully level boosted to enhance the effects of that system. On your ship screen and in compartment mode you will some full boxes and some empty boxes next to each system name. These are what you want filled to enhance your ship.

To further enhance your ship you will want to earn/buy components to install in the component cells and conduit to connect and chain your components together. Most components stack together or chain. One example is adding more than one level booster and upgrading them will make your system levels higher. Another example is adding several composite payload components to your weapons bay will make your missiles do more and more damage to enemy hulls.

Note::: not all components stack together. For example Disruptor components do not stack.

Now let's get into ships systems. We will start with the bridge and follow the circuit.

Bridge::

Bridge level indicates how fast your ship rolls. You can make it even faster by adding thruster components.

Sidewalls:::

Sidewall levels indicate how many missiles can be stopped by your Sidewalls.

Lasers::

Laser system level indicates how many lasers you can fire at incoming missiles.

Counter Missiles:::

Counter Missile levels indicate how many counter missiles can be fired at incoming missiles.

Engineering:::

Engineering level indicates your hull points. You can raise this by adding Alloy Armor.

Weapons::

Weapons level indicates how many missiles you can throw at one time.

There are all kinds of component upgrades you can earn by fighting random battles and buy at outposts. Make a good mix of faster refresh components and a disruptto make your systems charge faster and to cripple enemy ship systems. Buy level boosters and always be upgrading.

Crew Levels:::

Crew levels mean you can upgrade components to higher levels and speed up your repairs during combat.

I want to add that you can only buy certain components in certain sectors, so make sure you have enough of the items you need from outposts before leaving a sector. You will most likely be receiving a new ship after each sector so buy a few more than you will need.

Salvage Boxes:::

Salvage boxes come in different Rareties. The rarer the box the better the loot. But beware just because you get a certain salvage box does not guarantee the loot.

White= Common

Green= Uncommon

Blue= Rare

Purple= Very Rare

Legendary

This rarity guide is also true for earning/buying components. The color represents the rarity.

Componemts::

Components are classified the same as salvage boxes white being common and orange legendary. Most components like the level boosters and refresh rate components stack creating more effect but some components like weapons and lasers disrupters do not stack.

Note::::

Some unique and legendary components can only be installed once in a system. Or to put it simply, you can only put one unique item in that particular bay. An Example is the hypervalent NAV component which you can only install one of in your bridge bay.

Outside of the live event rewards there are 5 component categories that have items tagged as unique.

1) The simultaneous upgrade components:
Upgrade Power Shunt, Upgrade Ventricle

2) The component upgrade-time reduction components: 1 for each of the 5 rarities

3) The officer upgrade-time reduction components: 1 for each of the 5 rarities

4) Increases max warp charges: Hypervalent NAV Process

5) Multi-touch fire fighting: Fire Mitagation Manifold

Missiles:::

Missiles come in all types. Some shred your lasers, some shred your counter missiles and some shred your missiles. Pay attention to missile colors so you know which defense works best for what missile.

Missile Defences:::

Hull penetrators = any defense

Laser disruptor= Roll, Counter missiles, ECM

Nx-2 Nukes= any defense

M1-antimatter = any defense but sidewall

EMP pulser= Laser, counter missiles , sidewall

M-14 hellfires = any defense

Mavericks = Lasers,ECM, sidewall.

MK-13 BPL= any defense but sidewall

Missile Effects::

Hull penetrator damages Hulls

Lasers Diruptors = shreds laser systems

Nx-2 Nukes = shreds hulls

M-1 antimatter = shreds Sidewall systems

EMP Pulsor = shreds ECM systems

M-14 Hellfire = shreds weapons systems

Maverick = shreds counter missile systems

MK-13 BPL = shreds all systems especially Sidewalls

Battle Difficulty::

Battles increase in difficulty by color of writing used to brief you on your mission.

White = easy

Green = hard

Blue = even more difficult

Orange = most difficult

Weekly Live Events::

Weekly live events are challenge fights consisting of Three system fights or Wave battles that consist of three ships one fought right after the other consecutively and grow in difficulty as you progress. Play multiple times for better chances of earning Rare,Very Rare and Legendary components or loot. You can also pick your degree of difficulty. But don't lose, you will be instantly warped back to the sector you were working. Difficulties listed as :::

EASY

MEDIUM

HARD

Loot Rewards::

Loot rewards come in the fooling.

RARE

VERY RARE

LEGENDARY

Pre-Battle Bonus::

Before each battle you will be given a set of three choices that are bonus'. Pick one to boost your ship systems, or earn extra resources. Bonus' are as follows.

Scrap Salvage Bonus::-------------------- + Salvage

Missile Salvage Bonus::: ---------------- + Salvage

Component Salvage Bonus::------------- + Salvage

Improved Rolling::----------------------------- + Bridge

Bigger Missile Payloads::----------------------- + Counter Missiles

Boost Counter Missiles:: ----------------------- + Counter Missiles

Enemy ship defenses ::

Enemy ship defenses are listed with each ship you fight in sector and includes random battles and side quest ships. Defenses are color coded as follows.

@= Sidewalls

@= ECM

@= Counter missiles

@= Lasers

Note::

This game requires a lot of grinding and farming. Most of the components needed to upgrade your ship enough to get through System battles cannot be bought from outposts and must be won through fighting lots of random and side quest battles. Be prepared to spend around 20 Hours and more per sector to earn the Components you need.

I think I've covered all the basics and need to knows to get started but if I have left anything out please message me and I will list it.

All right so let's start playing.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nemea Sector::

The first two sectors are the easiest sectors you will travel through. They are meant as training to get you used to using the right defenses and proper offenses. I never lost a battle here. I wouldn't worry about using special payload missiles during these battles unless you just like the Flair or want to waste resources that could be better saved for future upgrades.

Start by fighting your way through Nemea sector and don't forget to fights lots of repeat battles and I mean a ton. You will need the resources to buy much needed components. Listed below are the components you will need to start with

HMS Galahad

Class:: Destroyer

Hull points::: 1000
Missile tubes::: 1
Defenses::: Lasers, Counter missiles
Crew::: 600
Energy blocks per system::: 5

Bridge:::

Add some resource generators but don't buy the ones in Nemea sector instead wait and get them at out post MN-02. Buy/earn an upgrade power shunt which allows for more upgrades.

Sidewalls:::

Installing a side wall disruptor and faster refresh components are best

Lasers:::

Start by installing a laser disruptor component and a cool down component. By doing so your missiles kill the enemies lasers and refresh faster.

Counter Missiles:::

Same as above start by adding a disruptor and cool down component.

Engineering:::

Start by adding alloy armor and a nanite factories to give you more hull points and making your hull regenerate faster.

Weapons:::
Fill your component cells here with three payload enhancers or faster load components.The next sector gets harder and you will need them till you can afford better payload enhances in the Sachsen sector.

Enigma Sector:::

Upon entering this sector and fighting the first battle you'll be introduced to a mysterious officer from secret fleet whom you will chase down from system to system. Not much to say after that except you'll be killing a lot of salvage units and breaking up the piracy in the sector. It's a lil more difficult than Nemea but you should do fine as long as you have been installing level boosters from the last sector. I still haven't used a special payload missile. There are random battles starting in this sector so you will want to start fighting a lot of them to earn resources and components.

After fighting the sector boss you will be instantly rewarded with a new ship the HMS Corageous. Make sure you have everything you need here then configure your Warshowski sails and plunge through the worm hole to........

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Breslau Sector:::

Breslau Sector:

The Breslau sector starts getting more difficult as you progress from system to system, you will find your self wanting to use special missiles. You are gonna need to spend a few days here buying/earning components and upgrading your crew and components. Once this is done you can move on but read ahead to make sure your prepared for the next sector, it gets even more difficult. Side quests start in this sector also, so you want to make sure and complete these.

Side Quest::

Side quests involve playing lots of random battles to fill a certain quota or complete a certain random battles. They are medium difficulty to Hard but you should have no problem to beating them.

Upgrading the HMS Courageous:::

HMS Courageous::
Hull points:: 1500
Missile tubes:: 2
Defenses:: Lasers, ECM, Counter missiles.
Crew: 800
Energy blocks per system:: 7 except ECM which is 4

The HMS Corageous is not much bigger than the HMS Galahad but the plus is you get a new defense the ECM, another missile battery and more component spaces. The ECM works by frying the enemy missiles electronics and guidance systems.

First off the HMS Corageous needs lots of power. The first thing you will want to do is buy some Level Booster Core II'sat the first outpost to boost your ship levels.

Bridge::: You will want to earn a power shunt and a hypervalent navigational component here in this system to give you more upgrades at a time and to give you more warp charges. And add more thrusters.

Sidewalls::: Want to make sure you have a sidewall disruptor and start upgrading a few optic armors. The next system uses a lot of Bomb pumped lasers so be protected ahead of time.

Lasers::: You want to buy/earn 3x nuclear pump laser components here and one laser disruptor to speed up your lasers refresh rate and to damage the enemies laser system.

Counter Missiles::: you want one disrupter component and a cool down or two.

ECM:: you want to make sure you have enough cool down components for the next sector.

Engineering::: be sure to earn some 800mm Alloy armors.

Weapons:: Fill your component spaces here with three or faster load components.The next sector gets harder and you will need either speed or might depending on your tactics.

TIP::

You want to fight enough Rare, and Legendary battles along with side quests to earn either two Prototype Z-RZ booster or One Ghost-Ion Capacitor for each bay here. By doing so you can remove one to two Level Booster Core II's from each bay allowing you to add more helpful components like defense refresher components. This will also vastly increase your odds of being able to defeat the Sachsen sector boss Wernecke without too much difficulty.

Not much to mention about this boss, just start throwing salvos and dodging his. Some might find it difficult others not so. If you have started playing after the July 2014 update you will probably find it more difficult since the Level boosters you might have will fill your component Cells and make it where you can't install other key components.

Sachsen Sector:::

Now assuming you have followed the guide and bought/earned all the upgrades above and have fully upgraded those upgrades you are ready to start fighting battles.The first thing you want to do in this sector is fight the sector Miniboss to open up the random battles and start grinding so you can start earning components and resources.

Willis::: This is the most difficult battle you've faced so far. He's got 6000 HP and three missile batteries and knows how to use them. And he has a laser that can zap a couple of your missiles as soon as they are fired.

A lot of people seem to be getting stuck here so offering some kind of strategy would be great for the new people but when it comes to Wernecke there truly is more than one way to skin a tree cat. I personally sped up my refresh time with all my systems using faster refresh Componemts but there are many other ways. The main thing is to stagger your missiles by waiting a second or two. You could also fire salvos of hull penarators and hellfire missiles to take his weapons down and ETC. Just make sure your ships levels are full before fighting

I hope you have been keeping your inventory full of a Level Booster 1'sand Level Booster Core II'sit would be a good idea to buy a one or more of the Gravitic Condensers and Prism-Cloud Distuptors. Your next ship is bigger which means more component cells. So be sure you have everything you need before leaving Sachsen sector.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mannassas Sector:::

Upon entering this sector you will recieve a communique instructing you to take care of the slave problem in the area. You also recieve the Q-ship HMS Dauntless. A Q-ship is a heavily modified merchant ship with concealed weaponry. The idea is to fool an attacking ship into thinking your a defenseless freighter then then destroying said ship when it comes into close contact.

HMS Dauntless:::

Class:: heavy cruiser / Q-ship

Hull points:: 5000
Missile tubes:: 3
Defenses:: Laser, counter missile and ECM.
Crew:: 1,200
Energy blocks per system:: 10

This ship is a heavy cruiser not much bigger than a light cruiser but with massive amounts of defenses and weapons tubes. There were only a couple of component cells added to each system bay. Of course with a bigger ship you will need more power. Go ahead and play the first couple sectors so you can start buying Level Booster III'sThe old boosters won't power t you up much but you should still be able to stave off any attackers till you can afford the new ones.

Again as long as you have been following the guide the battles in this sector are easy. I never fired one special payload missile. The last three missions are Manpowers slave holding outposts. They cannot roll but can fire a lot of missiles at once though it shouldn't be problem. Each gains a lil more HP, the last being 5000HP.
