BASIC INFO (single player) BASNFO
--------------------------
You gain HOUND parts for every finished mission. If you get the best rank
(S rank), then you get a 'bonus� piece.
After each mission, the game gives you a score, the final points of which
determines your grade.
You need 3000+ to get the S rank, between 2000-2999 to get A rank, 1000-1999
for B rank, and so on. As far as I know, there is no �SS� rank. I�ve scored
over 4000 points for a mission, but can�t think of a way to get it to 5000,
so I think S is the top rank.
You will be scored on various things, which are role type specific, but there
are always three basic categories, along the lines of Amount of time taken,
enemies destroyed, your average attack distance, etc. Each basic gives you a
maximum of 500 points. (so 1500 per mission if you max all three).
The easiest way to bag the S ranks, however, is to complete the
�Extra Operations� within a mission, as each one successfully finished
will get you 1000 points to your total!
Posted below are all the missions in detail (ok, not just yet, but give
me a bit of time, eh?!)
I've included the HOUND types you get to borrow because they are good
basic blueprints for when you start to build. Plus, some of the missions
can be quite challenging using the HOUNDS provided...
I've some custom ones for the harder S Ranks that I'll also add in, which
may help if you are having trouble on a particular one, for example, the
secret (shhhh) final mission!
