I'm into the third act in IWar 2 and am having trouble with the mission where you have to disable the LDA/Jump Accelerator after the Marines have docked to it. I read the FAQ which says to pass through the jump accelerator to destroy the LDA fields and target the LDA nodes. I have tried both of these tw no avail. If I try to pass through the field my ship is destroyed immedietly. If I try to destroy the lighted nodes inside tube nothing happens. I'm sure I'm missing something completely obvious but I have no clue how to complete this mission! Any specific help is appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks! > If I recall the right mission , should work like this: Equip a cutting beam or a non tracking weapon. You need crosshair mod to be effective. Just get close (from the right direction) , point the beam and start destroying the field generators. Piece of cake.

One question, you say "from the right direction" by that do you mean going inside the tube from the blue side instead of the red? thanks!

Thing is , if you get in the wrong direction , the shield will be between your beam and the generators , thus being impossible to pop them. I guess the blue side is the right one , since the red one is for outgoing traffic. Not so sure though , give it a try.

I made it past the mission! Thanks a bunch.
