Midersaw Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Well since nobody has posted one of these and I've received a few questions about Captain on the Bridge, I thought I'd put up this guide. This is my first guide and any feedback or advice would be appreciated. I know it's only 2 achievements, but hey, this may have been the only game I finished early enough to be able to write a guide. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1033/5-prNq0=.jpgDreadnought 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg Destroy all 5 ship classes plus 1 escape pod using the Missile Cruiser in Versus. -- Simply start up a Versus Team Deathmatch game against the AI. Change the settings to max amount of time, max kills, max number of opponents and change the difficulty to Easy. Choose the Missile Cruiser and keep playing until you get it. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1033/5-uLzj4=.jpgCaptain on the Bridge 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg Earn the Captain rank in Survival Mode -- This one was surprisingly tough. You need to earn at least 10,000,000 points to reach Captain rank and the points are not cumulative from game to game. I did it with the Bomber class because it is the fastest ship and has a powerful weapon. The Bomber is also the weakest class and can only take 2-3 hits once the enemies become red. Be patient and play conservatively. Stick to the edges of the maps because many enemies tend to gather in the middle. Use your crappy powerups immediately to try and get Invincibility, and save it until you're about to die. There is one level where a ton of space pirate ships come and drop huge amounts of point boxes; there are also Temporal Distortion powerups on this level you can use to gather a lot of point boxes. More importantly than trying to get kills and points, stay alive. Patience really is key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyKnee Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 As a possible alternate method, I just used a flagship myself. I don't know if you get bonuses to your score with a bomber but by using a flagship and being accurate, I got an extra 5,405,847 points with my in-game score being 6,778,750. These added up and put me well over the 10,000,000 mark. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exu Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I used a fighter and saw my score do well, I'll make a conscious attempt tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Septic Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 It is hard but not impossible. I used Flagship and got it.The more you play it, the better you get.It took me about 15 games before I got it.I tried using bomber but I don't like it's weapon.It's a fun game.There's nothing wrong with the guide.

Sniper JZA80 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I'm looking at getting this game to 100% it, so never played it, how long does it take to get your 10m points in one game and get the captain achievement? Is it like a 10 min game or like an hour to rack up 10m points. Sounds like a lot... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Crane Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 for the survival one, would the kobayashi maru cheat not disable getting the achievement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes about 10-15 min, but it took me over 2 hours of trying.But I also forgot about the cheat.With the cheat you can do it 1st go.It took me about 6 hours for the original 200.You need time to get used to controls and figure out whats on the screen, that's with all games though.

Midersaw Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 for the survival one, would the kobayashi maru cheat not disable getting the achievement? I tried using the kobayashi maru cheat and I honestly couldn't tell if it worked or not. I'm not sure if the developers made it so you could use it on survival.

acdougla17 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I thought it was a very easy achievement. First try I used the bomber (cant stand that thing). 2nd try I used flagship and got it. I find it easiest to go crazy with your power ups and not just save invincibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midersaw Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 I tried every class and found it easiest with the bomber. I guess it's probably just easiest with whatever class you feel most comfortable with. I just couldn't dodge enemy torpedoes with any other class.

I'm not sure if the developers made it so you could use it on survival. i tried as well. nothing popped up letting you know if it worked. i cant tell if it helped. i did better than i had before, but still didnt make it to 10000000. i didnt feel overly powerful... i really could not tell...

STARINFLAMES21 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Survival was really easy with the flagship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendy2643 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I don't see how this is easy for anyone... I've tried over ten times... the most I can get is 202 kills... I can't even get to 6 million points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benatheos Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 yap ... this achievement is hell ... tried it over and over again but I`m not even close to 10.000.000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starstrukk X360A Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Captain on the Bridge is ridiculously difficult. I can only get halfway before I finally die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyanite Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Captain on the Bridge is ridiculously difficult. I can only get halfway before I finally die. Same here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nei Debrusc Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I don't know if Kobayashi works, but whenever I enter it I hear a tone, so that's telling me I entered it correctly, at least. I haven't noticed any marked difference between when I use it and when I don't, but I guess it's there for placebo effect. Anyway, I do best with the Flagship, though I still can only barely get more than 6mil final score. You get an extra life at 2mil points, and I suppose at 4mil too. Haven't gotten there yet, but at least that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unertan Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 This achievement is so annoying. Myself along with 3 others are still stuck with this being our only achievement left in this game. Grrr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassino187 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Impossible!!!! Simpmy depends on luck what a waste wish I never downloaded this crap DLC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladevesuvan Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 So... I don't know how it happened... unless it adds the scores across each ship... but apparently you don't actually need 10 mil for the achievement? I tried a few times with the flagship but it was just too slow for me (high score - 6,512,138), then first time through with the bomber I got into a nice rhythm. Game Score: 5,026,000 Ship Bonus: 2,513,000 Accuracy Bonus: 1,608,645 Total Score: 9,147,645 Current Rank: Captain Derp de derp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekokari Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 so why has this not been added to the game's achievement guide? it seems pretty useful to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
