I dunno. Some kind of shield-bypassing torpedo and EMP torpedo of "Shields go FUBAR" class

Too noob for IC =( Nevermind, Coalition Gattlings are enough for me.
Heh, already in Inner Core. Waiting for next hunt =) -
Anyway, as he said, W'ar-sys are fully restricted. So... I will have to enjoy Coalition Gattlings (which pwns too) -
Inspired by previous one.
Second Year without causalities during "To Hell and Back"
The last step to becoming the Great Fighter Ace in Coalition is performing the maneuver training in Great Mine on Planet Murmansk. Great Mine is hole directly to center of planet. The Great Mine has special gates (including dynamically changing gates) and in center, there is some rotating gates. Training requires to do this with usage of cruise engines. Collision with these gates can lead to hitting lava inside planet and ship destruction, with known consequences. Pilots performing this training are aware of this - they are volunteering and have a right to change their decision even in beginning of event. Moreover, only most skilled pilots have a right to volunteer for trip "To Hell and back", non-secret requirements are 5 raids in Styx and Kandiris and more than one downed Nomad Battleship.
However, seems like now our pilots are better survivors. During two years, there was more than thousand pilots successfully done this training and survived. Even one Alliance female pilot, Jun'ko Zane, was able to get second high-score. But still, the highest score is I. Kojedub, which made it without any collisions, without lowering the speed and using Kossack close-range fighter, which is known for its low agility, and, moreover, with 0.5 promille of alcohol in blood.Author's comment: I. Kojedub - reference to WWII fighter ace Ivan Kojedub, the best USSR pilot during the war.

Happy b-day, земляк =)

Will try =)
And just thought: would be cool to really get inside that "great mine" and do some maneuvers (with engine kill and strafes) there
-
Happy b-day, m8s! Have cool party!

And, forgot to say, you know why Zoners need something with biodomes: Because: They are hippies and that's why

Consequences of Great Mine.
As Coalition people know, mining operation on Planet Murmansk can be look like killing two rabbits at one shot. In first, we made this giant planet habitable. In second, we got incredible amount of resources directly from its core. But such a "violent" operation can lead to no less violent consequences.
Scientists from Gagarin NII had developed a theory, that due to hollowing the core, Murmansk can lose its magnetosphere or atmosphere. Or planet's surface can break down, leading to the planetary catastrophe, some sceneries even include planetary destruction. Scientists began to develop a method to prevent the worst results. They have an idea to reinforce the "Great Mine" with a special constructions, and even make them habitable. Some even suppose a deploying the prison complex directly inside planet. But now, the most desperate Coalition pilots use the "Great Mine" as a training part, as known as "To Hell and back", which include flying through mine hole directly to planet center and performing the most complicated maneuvers there.Author's comment: Shall I still name research insitutes as NII (НИИ, научно-исследовательский институт)? And BTW, I am not sure about this one =)

About TI soundtrack: it can be dl-ed free from ModDB or official site. About usage - dunno =)

OK. Putting last drops of juice from this subject.
-Steal Ancient Drone Carrier.
-Get inside Nomad City and d*ckslap ALL Nomads out of there, then make Nomad City my second residence.
-Stop a war between ASF and CSF. Destroy both factions, if will be needed.
-Make Orillion name any Solar Object after me.
-Make Dom'Kavash create hypergate directly to Leeds. Don't want to fly a whole way through Altair.
-Find a way to restore Nomad infestation. Because Juni sends me to a suicidal missions way too often, and I don't want to kill her, if she is infested.
-Finally get up from computer and have a life~ *BLAM!* Fourth wall! -
Well... Seems like my brain said "Insufficient funds". Anybody else can give any idea?

Wagner? "Apocalypse Now", well-known helicopter attack with Ride Of The Valkyries. Charlies Don't Surf, m8...

And back to flyable ships and easter eggs, how about This one hidden somewhere/admin only/just for lulz?
About music: soundtrack from one mod for C&C2 Tiberian Sun (Twisted Insurrection), for example, this one:
