New Mission Request
Anyone made the mission to shoot down a bus over the pacific yet?
...is that even possible? :hmm: (I mean within the realms of the mission editor. Obviously, it's possible IRL.) EDIT: Bah! ...wrong forum. If someone would be so kind... |

Round 10:30 last night the Aegis Cruiser, USS Lake Erie, shot down that falling spy satellite (bus) with an SM3 missile somewhere near Hawaii.
Edit: I guess technically they didn't shoot it "down" so much as blast it into smaller bits. Last edited by XLjedi; 02-22-08 at 09:27 AM. |

I dunno, maybe it's harder to find a satellite... and position ships within a given time window? Maybe China or some other country could be opposed to the action?
Just a way to capitalize on current headlines as a way to generate interest. I haven't done anything with the mission editor, so I was wondering if it was even possible to actually have a target in low orbit (or very high altitude) to shoot at. I agree it wouldn't be too much fun to just arrive at a location and shoot off an SM3. |

But, after all, I think it's worth trying to create such mission. |

Sorry, but there are no playable Ticos in DW. Any scenario would be limited to supporting the Tico.
