How to beat Ramen Elite Commanders

edited March 2010 in The Academy
I have run into a Foe that in ground game I have met 4 times and have beat then 2 times and I am not sure how. They are called Ramen, they apear as romulans but they are usually in the last group in a ground mission normaly in a base. I think the one is called Elite Commander. It's the guy that spawns 3 ghostlike forms that fire at you very fast and they go right through you shield. I have died more times than I can remember wioth full shield and 0 health from them.

What strategy should I use on them to get past them? I have had that 1 mob alone kill a well armed landing party aloneafter I killled everyone else. If they get you in a hallway its like a meat grinder. Even the 2 I won I redid at leat 3 times to get it. Is there a secret to them.

    Have your entire away team focus fire the Reman commanders, they are dangerous because their damage bypasses shields.

    I find its best to focus fire down commanders and engineers (due to the fast shield recharge) and to just attack the regular mobs normally.

    Just wait till you meet cardassian commanders who love to hide holo generators and spawn endless adds against you.

    I had to smile at the Title :)

    Ramen (Japanese noodle soup)

    Reman (from Remus)

    Romulan (from Romulus)


    Best tactic, as mentioned above, is to have the entire party focus on the Commander so as to avoid the holograms.

    Ramen is good, especially when on a tight budget.

    I beat ramen with chopsticks and an empty stomach!:D

    I targeted that guy with all my bridge officers and tried to kill him as fast as I could.

    What the others said make sure you get your crew to target him first and just keep beating him down you will kill before you are killed unless you have a bad team setup.

    better tactic...

    check, if there are any "Medic" in the group first, is so, kill them with priority -> all fire at medics

    if there are NO medics, kill the commander, focus fire of your team, but...
    at the same time, focus your own fire at any eng around. You don't need to kill the eng, just keep
    him busy, so that he don't recharge the shields of the commander.

    The main issue is, if you don't focus the fire at the same target of your muppets, they will fire at spawned
    turrets / shiedl gen first :/

    Remans are the bad guys from ST nemesis.
    They used to live on a moon orbiting Romulus.

    Real bad bum, moto flickers

    Till the Super nova. /geek mode off

    I would just get all my Crew to fire on the Commander or use the pause feature to plan my attack.

    Moon? Remus is just another planet like Romulus. They are often called the twin planets Remus and Romulus after this:

    Thanks, as it was I figured this out last night as I played Ground Zero and if you have done this mission you know that these guys come in waves and waves. I had my healer heal me over and over again while I gound them down. Plus a couple rez's because if the guy with the chicken noodle soup (lol) and his ghosties focus fire on you they take you down in like 2 shots and can fire through mountains.

    I run with 3 engineers and a sci for healing (and my alt is an engineering capt).

    Basically pre-cast all the turrets ... throw up cover shield for the healing generator and focus fire like there is no tomorrow. With 7 turrets plus 5 assault rifles, not even the Remen commander can live through all that focus fire.

    The best tactic for you and your Boffs to tackle those pesky Ramens is to boil the noodles first for 7 minutes, drain and then add butter and spices. While chopsticks are traditional, a fork (or if you are a Klingon, your hand) would be better. Enjoy!

    Hardcore ramen, it's what everyone wants. I'm partial to mushroom chicken.

    And silly question from a still learning noob, (even for a Cmdr 2,) but how do you focus fire. Thanks in advance for bearing with my ramen brain.

    There's a targetting cross above the party frame that, if you click it, will cause any of your NPCs to designate your current target as their 'Focus' target. There's also a few other buttons there, and while playing around with those... you can clear them by right clicking the button again (especially useful for the 'Go Here' function).
