Impress Sela

I am on xbox one and can not get past this mission. Is there a trick to it? I can get to the last part where you have to destroy the dampinging fields and fight a bunch of romulans but at the last bit I get stuck in a one on one with the warbird and can not beat it. I have tried more times than I can count. I have tried different ships with different weapons and still fail. My last handful of attepts I held off on unitl i was level 47 will a much better ship and much better weapons. Am I missing something?

    Do you have the difficulty set at Normal? (change it to Normal if set to Advanced or Elite)

    Do you have the Hazard Emitters bridge officer skill? Romulan beams and torpedoes cause a plasma burn damage over time.

    it is set to normal. i will look into the hazard emitter skill on my next try. thanks for the response.

    Good point, especially if they have a stream-of-seeker-plasma-torps launcher. If you stay out of their forward arc those torp launchers do nothing, nor do any dual cannons.

    Hunt for Red October advice.

    Beam Fire at Will or Cannon Scatter Volley are also important. Warbird deaths usually occur due to the Romulan Hyper Plasma Torpedo which spits five heavy Plasma torpedoes at you with each volley when High Yield is used. In the days of the Tau Dewa Patrol...well let's just say many Bothans and Caitians lost their lives to that weapon. Fire at Will and Scatter volley can shoot them down without having to manually target each of them.

    D'Deridex Warbirds have a nasty habit of grabbing you with Tractor Beam then throwing 3 Heavy Plasma Torps. Polarize Hull will break you free of the Tractor Beam. Also... try staying out past 5 km, as that is the max range for the tractor beam if you can't fit Polarize Hull.

    Evasive Maneuvers might work too, it definitely will with the Pilot specialization trait where it gives you immunity.

    Doesn't one of the attack patterns give immunity to holds too? Omega?

    Yes. Omega can, but I believe we're talking about a first run of the mission so access to Omega and Pilot spec Evasive is probably not an option.

    Evasive Maneuvers breaks the hold of a Tractor Beam, at least temporarily. Beam Fire At Will is much disparaged in these forums, but I've never figured out why, because it's perfect for a situation like this (as is Torpedo Spread). Keep a close eye on your shields, too, and see if you can't get a few Shield Batteries for your Device slots.​​

    I think BFAW is seen as a cheep "I Win" button, kinda like how they used to say this was Escorts Online.

    The way I beat these was flying a ship with hangar pets set to Intercept. They catch the torpedoes before they get to you, giving you time to take out the warbird.

    I've been broadsided by the tractor beam/torp strike before. I don't know if that ability has a blind spot honestly.

    Not really, no. Imperial D'Deridex-class warbirds mount a torpedo launcher aft, as well.

    And carriers are a great idea - if you've got one. Is there a T3 or T4 carrier, though? Because you're usually a Commander or Captain during that mission.​​

    Looking at the wiki for T3 and 4 ships... doesn't look like it to me. No Fed carriers until T5.
    Although maybe the Point Defense console off the T3 Heavy Escort Refit might be another good counter...

    Tractor Beam Repulsors is a good counter to Romulan torpedo spam. Just wait until you see the first torp launched, then hit the button. It pushes them away from you but also damages them usually destroying them.

    throwing a grav well on the enemy ship before it launches is a good idea too.

    That what I was thinking. I've tried some of these idea like omega pattern and I'm still sucking. Maybe I am just terrible at it. I thought that the 'ally' ships are suppose to help in the fight. the first two do until we kill the first ship, then they stop moving and the rest never start moving. I was thinking it was glitched but I know other xbox players have gotten around it so I'm gunna keep trying.

    I'm at level 28 and have no problem with warbirds on the XBOX. Then agian, I'm a PC veteran and make good use of Tachyon Beam and beam overload. I punch a hole in those shields and let those hulls eat high yield torpedoes. By the way, you have a heck of a bunch of abilites. Make sure that you set them to auto-run of you can't get to them easily.
