Doomgiver hanger bay help

vagus · 05-21-2002, 04:58 AM

I am currently stuck at the hanger bays on the Doomgiver. I have already gotten passed the first hanger bay. Also decompressed (and recompressed) the 2nd hanger bay to get rid of the stormtroopers (imps). But I'm stuck. All the doors (including those at upper level) are locked (red lights). I have also tried to leave the bay door open and gone back to the gun turrent to fire into the bay. I hoped to blow up some of the TIEs to do some damage so that I can enter that hanger bay later. But those TIEs aren't blowing up. It seems that "things aren't supposed to blow up, won't"... even if it means a TIE fighter under the powerful laser turrent gun... it will, if the TIE is moving.

Something about the laws of physics I must be missing here...

As well something else I am missing ... because I am still stuck. The upper level of hanger bay 1 is all empty, except for 1 TIE, which I can't pilot (though I would love to...).

By the way, I think one of the previous games (Shadow of Empire or perhaps JK1) the TIEs were portrayed to be much bigger...

Please help...

Regards.

Between hangar 1 and 2, there are two rooms. When facing the doors to these two rooms: the left room has controls for hangar 1; the right room has controls for hangar 2. You have already discovered the controls in each of these rooms to open the bay doors and suck out all the stormtroopers into space. What is important is that there are TWO sets of controls in each room: one control opens the bay doors to space, the other control powers the big lifts in the the middle of each hangar. Both of these lifts need to be powered. Once they are powered, use the lift in hangar 1 to go down (there is no swith to activate the descent - once it is powered, just step on it and it will descend). Once you have descended, you will be in a connecting room that connects hangar 1 to hangar 2. Inside this lower room are controls that we allow you to access the lift in hangar 2. You will be able to lower the lift so that you can ascend to hangar 2 and continue on with the level.
Hope this helps!

Thanks, I thought of the square at the center, but when I jumped on top of the console to look at it (when bay door opened), I think that square remained closed.

But I gave it a try anyway... the thing that gave me a clue is that the force field at bay door is only down when the bay door is fully opened. That amount of time must be "for some purpose"... just in time for me to reach that center square (lift). Quite an obscure clue, this one.

Regards.
