Essentially Invulnerable Enemies

    Hi All. New to Crossfire but not to Freelancer. I'm playing the SP story at the moment. I've reached a point where the enemies are pretty much invulnerable. I will wail on them with my guns to get their shields down but a second later they are at full shields again. I will literally pour damage on them for 10 minutes with little to no effect. It appears anyone above level 11 or 12 has infinite supply of shield batteries (I am level 8 atm). Am I missing something here? Is there a setting I am missing? Or a trick I am supposed to do? Any help appreciated.

    Hello StJude1,

    the enemies with light/medium fighters are probably the most annoying in Crossfire - very hard to hit and quick to heal.

    Try the following approaches:

    1) add anti-shield guns to your setup (pulse-type),

    2) use guns with low refire / high damage,

    3) reduce mouse sensitivity for better aiming,

    4) save money and get an overpowered ship with higher-class weapons,

    5) move "Difficulty" slider in Options -> General to make the game easier.


    Hope this helps!
