Ability to turn torps into mines

Nufsed · 08-30-10, 03:42 PM

Hi all, has anyone had the opportunity offered to turn some of your torpedos into mines? I was offered this at the end of the first campaign. I was told to go and see the torpedoman and when I did he offered to jam the rudders of some of the torpedos which would turn them into circle running mines. However before I could accept his offer the screen disappeared

Has anyone else had this and will I be offered this option again?

This is just a conversation, without any effect on your weapons. The only effect is that morale goes up.

The thing is when I spoke to the torpedoman in the conversation box I had two choices offered, one to accept the the offer, the other to refuse. So if this was just to boost morale why the two options?

because i believe the option "yes" boosts moral

while the other option "no" doesnt boost moral

your given 2 choices so you face the consequence of the effect your choice (or lack of making the choice) has on your crew

That EXO in the game is so stiff you could stick a rudder and a prop and turn him into a torpedo..who needs mines?

What i heard is that you do get the mine torps available but you have to go back to dock without saving and quitting the mission/game. Never tried it myself though.

Only a conversation? So it's all pointless, just to raise the moral, why not turn them into hungry sharks to eat the survivors?

Ok...it wasn't funny..

Hi all,
could this be a feature that was not completed by the developers and turned into a morale boost instead?

BTW first post in this forum!
