For permission please email me at tiger8191@yahoo.com ============== =Introduction= ============== I was excited to see this title come out. I watched all the news of the progress of this venture by Lucas Arts, hoping we will finally get back to the days of great Star Wars games like Tie Fighter and X-Wing Tie Fighter. Well the finished product pleases me. It reminds me a lot of one of my all-time favorite games, Tie Fighter. My only complaint is that I have to play the good guys, but I will live. This game offers some great dogfights and challenging missions and the opportunity to play missions over and over again to gain medals so that you can open up more missions and ships. Hopefully I will be able to help you out with strategies to get through some missions and objectives. Please enjoy this FAQ as much as I have enjoyed making it for you! ================= =Version History= ================= Version .10-(3/10/01) Started the FAQ! Intro, disclaimers, controls, characters, ships, cockpit displays, Walkthrough for missions 1-4, bonus mission requirements, menu, codes, and Acknowledgements. Version .20-(3/13/01 Added Mission Walkthroughs for 5,6,7. Fixed all the typos and grammar problems of the first version.

Bonus Mission Requirements viii. Mission Walkthroughs ix. Codes x. Acknowledgements xi. Email and AIM Rules xii. Copyright Info-Please read if you want to use this FAQ i. Overview ----------- Basically you are a starfighter! Cool, eh? Yeah I thought so. In this game you complete missions as three different pilots, Rhys Dallows, Vana Sage, and Nym. After each mission you get a cutscene to move the story along. I will try not to give many things away because I hate spoilers so unless need be I will try not to give the story away. If I do I will put a *Spoiler* before it happens, okay? So get ready to save Naboo from the Trade Federation in the 14+ missions in this great game. ii. Controls ------------ X-Fire primary weapon Square- Target ship, also hold button to activate Sensor Targeting system, which highlights all targets, then use directional pad to highlight that target you want to pursue. Triangle-Target nearest enemy, press repeatedly to cycle through available enemies. Circle- Fire secondary weapon, also hold button to charge Advanced Secondary Weapon. Start-Pause Menu Select-Change view from cockpit to chase R Analog Stick-Move left or right to roll. R3-press to reorient your ship to level L Analog Stick-Controls pitch. Push up to lower nose, down to raise nose. R1-Sniper mode R2-Boost L1-Fire primary weapon L2-Brakes Directional Pad-Wing mate Commands -> "Report In!" <- "Protect my target!" ^ "Attack my target!" Down- "Cancel order and protect me" iii. Menu --------- Starfighter has a no-fuss menu. You have 4 selections in the menu: -Play -Bonus Missions -Load Game -Options Some of these are self-explanatory so forgive me for not going into full detail on them. -Play- This option will take you to the mission select screen. This includes 14 missions. After completing a mission and a cut scene, you can come here and play them over or watch the cut scene again. After selecting a new game or an already completed mission you are prompted to decide on easy, medium, or hard. -Bonus Missions- You can unlock bonus missions and ships by getting medals for completing difficult objectives in the 14 missions. I will go into detail later in the FAQ on what requirements you need to open up these missions and ships. -Options- Here you can reconfigure your controller setup to your liking if you do not like the default setting, flip the Y-axis (if you would like the Left Analog functions reversed), turn vibration on or off, and calibrate your joystick sensitivity. Also you can adjust sound, code setup, save, and restore default settings. iv. Cockpits ------------- I will attempt to explain how the cockpit looks, this might not work but I will see if anyone emails me and complains about this section. ------------------------------- - 1 - - - - - - 9 - - - -2 - ------------------------------- - 8 - - 10 - - - -6,3,4, 12,15 - -5,7 11 14 - - 13 - ------------------------------- 1.

Pilots --------- The following are the three main characters in Star Wars: Starfighter. I took most of the info from the manual...thanks LucasArts! -Rhys Dallows- Rhys was born on the edge of Theed, the capital of Naboo. He is a strong-willed rookie who has always dreamed of joining Bravo Flight. His mother, a schoolteacher, raised Rhys. Rhys never knew his freighter pilot father, who went missing during a routine mission. Rhys always yearned to follow in his father's footsteps and travel through the galaxy. Rhys got his chance to travel the galaxy when he was invited to join the Bravo Flight and defend his homeworld of Naboo. Under Essara's tutelage, Rhys learned the skills he would need to complete his destiny. -Vana Sage- Vana is a disenchanted starfigher pilot. She is also a spy and adventurer. Vana grew up on Alderaan and left at the young age of 15 to work with many bounty hunters. Maybe she knows Bobo Fett. Her adventures took her to Naboo, where she served with the Royal security Forces. She requested that the military should be strengthened and was denied and left. Since then, Vana gained a reputation for working for the highest bidder. Recently, she captured Nym, an alien pilot, for the Trade Federation. Vana is a doubting her alliance with the Trade Federation. -Nym- Nym is a Feeorin, an alien species found in the Outer Rim worlds. Criminals on the planet Lok raised Nym, but his meager upbringing gave him time to improve his tactical skills. Nym became a respected pirate. He is greedy enough to keep his crew in business, and often plans non-violent raids among the Core Worlds. The Trade Federation was not fond of Nyms practices. They hired Vana Sage to capture him. Luckily his loyal crew helped him escape and he is ready to go against the Trade Federation. vi. Ships --------- -N-1 Starfighter- ----------------- The cool yellow starship from Star Wars Episode 1. It is fast and agile and is equipped with strong deflector shields. Primary Weapon-Laser Cannons Secondary Weapon-Proton Torpedoes (limited number so don't waste!) Advanced Secondary Weapon-Advanced Proton Torpedoes (good against tight enemy formations) -Guardian Mantis- ----------------- A fun ship to fly, fast and very maneuverable. The braking system will stop you on a dime and also you can become stealth. On board is an astomech droid named Mod-3 for all your in-flight repairs. Primary Weapon-Sensor-Guided Nano Missiles (Enemy must be targeted and tagged with the secondary weapon for the nano missiles to hunt it down) Secondary Weapon-Ion-Enabled Sensor Tags (drains shields and allows primary weapon to track and kill, just like the ion cannons on tie-fighters in Tie Fighter...cool!) Advanced Secondary Weapon-Ion-Encumbrance System (Disables ship) -Havoc- ------- An experimental and dangerous ship. It is a bomber so don't expect a lot of speed and good handling. It is equipped with heavy shields and an automatic rotating gun turret. It also has 6 laser cannons and 2 bomb chutes. Primary Weapon-Dual Triple-Laser Cannons Secondary Weapon-Energy Bombs Advanced Secondary Weapon- Plasma Scourge (like napalm, will kill multiple enemies at one time) vii. Bonus Mission Requirements ------------------------------- -Charms Way Mission- Bronze Medal in the following Missions The Royal Escort Contract Infraction Piracy Above Lok Taking the Offensive The New Resistance The Final Assault -Canyon Sprint- Silver Medal in the following missions Naboo Proving Grounds The Royal Escort Taking the Offensive Midnight Munitions Run Rescue on the Solleu The Final Assault -Outpost Attack- Bronze on all missions -Space Sweep- Silver on all missions viii. Mission Walkthroughs -------------------------- Here I will try to give hints and tips on how to complete all objectives and Bonus Goals in the game so as to get all the medals possible. There are probably many different ways to get a bronze, silver, and gold medal in each mission but I will put how I achieved it. ********************************* *Mission 1 Naboo Proving Grounds* ********************************* Character- Rhys Dallows Ship- N-1 Starfigher Objectives ---------- -Destroy all first canyon mines -Destroy all second canyon mines -Destroy Training Droid -Destroy all Halo Fighters -Defeat Essara Bonus Goals ----------- -Destroy all bonus mines -Complete mission in under 4 minutes -Win race against Essara Hit boost right off the bat if you want to get a gold medal. You don't have much time to mess around. Target your fist mine and fire away. Quickly shoot down all 9 mines and move into the second canyon. Again use boost as much as possible. Shoot down the 20 mines in the canyon to move into the clearing and quickly destroy the Training Droid. Keep pumping lasers into him till he blows. Target the Halo Fighter entering the third canyon and blow him away fast. Hit the boost and catch up to the second Halo Fighter, but be on the lookout for the 6 mines in this canyon, which you need to destroy for the gold medal. When you come to the next clearing you will face 2 waves of Halo Fighters. Quickly blow them out of the sky and Essara will challenge you to a race through the next canyon. Hit the boost and don't let go till you cross the finish line. When you have beaten her put on the brakes and get Essara in your sights and keep her there as she tells you that you two are going to battle. The winner is the one who depletes their foes shield first. Keep her in your sights and when she says go, fire away till she declares you the winner. If you cleared the 6 bonus mines, beat her through the canon, and did it all within 4 minutes or under, then you will have the bronze, silver and gold medals. **************************** *Mission 2 The Royal Escort* **************************** Character- Rhys Dallows Ship- N-1 Starship Objectives ---------- -Protect the Royal Escort Bonus Goals ----------- -Royal Starship takes no hull damage -Destroy all Merc Daggers in under 1 minute -Rhys destroys all Merc Dianogas Right away hit triangle to find the Merc Daggers. Ignore all the Mourningstars and Dianogas for now. You want the gold medal! When you found the Daggers pick them off one by one as fast as you can with your Proton Torpedoes. If you got lucky and were fast enough you got them in under 1 minute. When you are done with that, work on the Merc Dianogas so you can get the gold. At times your wingmen will shoot one down while you are working on the Daggers. That is very frustrating, but it only happened twice in the 10 times I did this mission. After you are done with the Dianogas, work on the Mourningstars. Make sure to keep the Royal Escort nearby so you can attack any units attacking its shields. After awhile the Escort Ship will attempt to jump to hyperspace but a new set of Dainogas block its way. Quickly target them and shoot them down before your wingmen do. Once those are gone the Escort will jump to hyperspace and you have completed the mission and received the three different medals. ******************************* *Mission 3 Contract Infraction* ******************************* Character- Vana Sage Ship- Guardian Mantis Objectives ---------- -Destroy all Scarab Fighters -Destroy all Hunter-Seeker Droids -Destroy all Merc Fighters Bonus Goals ----------- -Tag all Scarabs -Complete Mission in under 4 minutes -Destroy all Merc Fighters You will see 5 waves of Scarabs 1st wave-2 Scarabs 2nd wave-4 Scarabs 3rd wave-4 Scarabs 4th wave-5 Scarabs 5th wave-6 Scarabs This is a difficult gold to get. Heck, I have yet to get it. When I do I will update. When your first batch of Scarabs comes out, tag them by using your circle button. This will pace a blue circle around them, which means they're tagged and your primary weapon (X) will track them. Do this as FAST as you can through all 5 waves of Scarab Fighters. You will then face numerous Hunter-Seeker Droids. They take one or two shots and you don't need to tag them. After you defeat them you will be faced with many Mourningstars and Daggers. Quickly destroy them using your Sensor tags to deplete their shields so it will take less laser hits, which also means less time wasted. If you do all this fast enough you will receive all three medals. I have yet to get the gold, my best time was 4:39. Doh! ************************** *Mission 4 Secrets of Eos* ************************** Character-Vana Sage Ship-Guardian Mantis Objectives ---------- -Destroy Shield Generators 1-7 Bonus Goals ----------- -Destroy Dispensers before Droids are launched -Destroy all Miner Droids -Complete Mission in under 8 minutes When you start off try and destroy all the Droid Dispensers (5). One is hidden behind one of the hills. After completing that, now take out 7 pylons while destroying Miner Droids as you're moving from pylon to pylon. Do not shoot the 7th pylon till you have completely destroyed all the Miner Droids or the mission will end and you won't get the gold. **************************** *Mission 5 Piracy Above Lok* **************************** Character-Nym Ship-Havoc Objectives ---------- -Disable 1 Superfreighter -Destroy all Scarab Fighters -Destroy Repair Ships -Destroy all Droid Starfighters Bonus Goals ----------- -Destroy 4 TF Freighters -Complete Mission in under 7 minutes -Destroy Missle Frigate This is your first time in the Havoc. It is not the most agile starfighter but it packs some serious firepower. Boost and head toward a selected Armed Freighter and shoot your secondary weapon and lasers till you see it's sheilds down. Do not destroy it!! Now head towards the Freighters and quickly destroy 4 of them. Next help out shooting down all the Scarabs. Keep hunting them down till the Missle Frigate and Repair Ships show up. Target the Missle Frigate and throw all your secondary weapons at it. This should destroy it and now head out to locate the 2 Repair Ships before they dock with the Armed Freighter your disabled. After those are dust return to shooting the Scarabs down as fast as you can. When those are done some Droid Starfighters will show up. Quickly get rid of those and you're on your way to the gold! Yay! ************************** *Mission 6 Valuable Goods* ************************** Character-Nym Ship-Havoc Objectives ---------- -Protect Pirate Freighter during loading -Escort Pilot Freighter Bonus Goals ----------- -Destroy Dropships before tanks are launched -All Pirate Speeder Bikes must survive -Destroy Recovery Ship Head out and destroy the 2 Dropships. After you blow those to pieces, head over to the Recovery Ship and blow it to bits. Then head to where they are loading the Freighter and help out by taking out the AAT's in the area and the annoying Scarabs. When they have finished loading, escort them to the cave down the river. Be sure to ask your wingmen to help protect the Freighter. Take out the Bombers attacking the Freighter and then head to the land to right and help take out the AAT's that are attacking the Speeder Bikes. Another Dropship will be ordered in at some point. When they do, find it and quickly destroy it before they are able to launch their tanks. When the Freighter is almost to the cave, take out the AAT's on the hill above to insure the saftery of your load. **************************** *Mission 7 Eye of the Storm* **************************** Character-Nym Ship-Havoc Objectives ---------- -Protect Evac Transports during loading -Protect Inferno Turret Bonus Goals ----------- -Destroy Dropships before tanks are launched -All Decoy Freighters must survive -Escort Jenkins to his freefall This is a tough mission. Probably the most difficult one so far. So much stuff is going on all at once. Boost your ship to the Dropships up ahead and to the left. Target one of them and then have your wingmen attack it. Switch your target to the other Dropship and blow it out of the sky. Now go back to the other one and hep finish the job. Now go hunting down Scarabs. Soon you will be given the task of protecting Jenkins. Find him and have your wingmen protect him and go back to scrapping the Scarabs. Bombers will enter the fray as well as two more Dropships. Head over to the area you took out the other Dropships and you should find more. Use the same method of blowing them to bits as you did the earlier ones. When done with them, head back to the Bombers. They will now send out the Decoy Freighters. Make sure to get rid of as many Bombers and AAT's as you can to insure the Decoys saftey. Soon the Evac will take off. Target it and have your wingmen protect it as you clear a path for it. Keep it protected till the mission is declared a success. If done right, you should have the gold! ix.
