====================================================================== JakFrost's Scarabrae Demo 1 ====================================================================== Date Recorded: 1999-03-10 23:00 UTC Game Name: Starsiege Tribes Game Version: 1.3 Demo Time: 10 minutes Mission Type: Capture The Flag Mission Name: Scarabrae Player Name: JakFrost Email: jakfrost(at)planetstarsiege(dot)com Website: http://www.planetstarsiege.com/tactical/ Displayed Tactics: Disc Jumping, Sliding, Piloting ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Description ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a very quick little demo that shows off two tricks on Scarabrae. The first trick is how to disc jump with an energy pack from your base over the big hill in front of it then slide your way to the top of the watch tower and take it over. It takes just a couple of seconds to get there and it's pretty easy to do. The second trick is very complicated. This trick allows you to destroy the two enemy rocket turrets on top of the watch tower with the use of a scout and a few discs to finish off the rocket turrets. This trick is based on the ability of the pilot to avoid a head on rocket then faking the rocket turret into shooting a rocket at the floor thus damaging it's own shields then itself. It takes a lot of practice to be able to do some of these flying maneuvers while avoiding rocket fire but the end result if worth it. The pilot must be able to fly within centimeters of the ground the mountains at full speed in order to dodge and avoid rocket fire. When you decide to try this yourself remember the flight path it is the key to surviving the rocket fire. ______________________________________________________________________
