Ah - I think I answered this in PC Advisor, but I must admit that I was wrong - as Gamespot actually have a walkthrough (although you have to register to see it)
Whole lot of text coming up

QUOTE (Gamespot) |
Your first mission in Tribes: Vengeance takes place after a short cutscene detailing some of the backstory of the Victoria character. It seems that shes to be the offering in some kind of dynastic marriage, a fate she isnt exactly embracing. Her feelings are made irrelevant, though, when the ship shes riding in is attacked by members of the Phoenix tribe. Anyone who played the single-player demo probably has an idea of whats going to happen at the end of this level, but for now, lets just play and see!
You dont have any equipment or armor to start out with, so initially, theres not much you can do except jump. After you reach the civilians banging on the door, then drop through the floor after it explodes, though, youll reach an inventory station, which will give you access to your first suit of armor. You can choose any weapons you wish, but for this mission, a Spinfusor should be considered mandatory.
Take the opportunity to get used to the interface. The most important things to keep an eye on are your radar and health/boost meters. The radar, in the upper-right corner of the screen, will eventually display where your enemies are, but not in this mission. For now, all its good for is to show some of the markers that your sister will throw down to show you where to go, as well as give you some idea of what the floorplan of the ship looks like. The health/boost meters will display how much health and boost power you have remaining. Unless youre playing on hard mode, you dont stand much of a chance of dying, but you will need to keep an eye on your boost meter, lest you stretch a jump and wind up falling down far enough to hurt yourself.
Soon after you get the suit of armor, youll find yourself at the bottom of a shaft, with nowhere to go but up. In most situations, youll want to use your jetpack in short bursts, to effect something of a gliding effect, but thats better for horizontal than for vertical movement. For now, just hit your jetpack button and hold it down until you reach the top of the shaft, then find the open doorway and head on through.
Youll get your first taste of action here, as the tribals have overrun the throne room. The majority of the tribals on the ship are in light armor, which should let you kill them off with your Spinfusor in a single hit, if you manage to aim it correctly. Dont aim directly at them; aim for their feet. Its more important to hit them with a majority of the splash damage than all of the damage that theyll take from a direct hit, and much easier to do so to boot. Destroy everything that moves, then use your jetpack to escape the room and to find a re-supply station. These are more restricted than inventory stations, in that they wont let you change your weapons or armor, but will completely refill your ammo.
After jetting up through the shaft near the re-supply station and shooting your way through the rubble, youll come to the royal theater. Kill everything here and move on. Youll come to another inventory station soon enough; this one will let you change into heavy armor, if you wish. Although its a bit more ponderous than the medium armor you were using, youll be able to take a lot more damage, which will be helpful in the firefight thats coming up. The tribals have lain down multiple autonomous turrets in the next large room, so abuse that Spinfusor until youre able to proceed.
Next up are the reactor rooms, which are connected together at the top and bottom. Youll need to jet up and down these rooms to find the next door; when heading down, dont forget to use your jetpack to lighten your landing, and beware of tribals on the middle walkways wholl fire on you as you descend.
After you pass through the medical bay, which follows the fusion reactors, youll have to switch back to medium armor to get through the doorway leading to the cargo bay. Note the assault ship on one of the upper levels; you wont be able to fly it yet, but you can get into one of the side-turrets. Do so, and youll be tasked with shooting down a few waves of tribals as they enter the ship. Keep shooting until your sister instructs you that shes dropped one of the defense shield, then find the green doorway and head on through.
Your last task is to release the clamps on Olivias escape pod from the control room nearby. Do so, and the level ends. |
That should help him along...
