Mission Log: Reginald Mental (that’s me), Capt. Well I guess taking out that outpost put my agent in a good mood. They gave me a cake assignment. I get to play taxi driver for some big wig scientist. I have to head over to this ritzy ditzy hotel and bring him back here. Well guess I could use a little quiet time.
Supplemental: Just warp into the hotel area and Aura just reported bodies floating in space. This does not sound good. Also no contact from the hotel or its security systems. I’m setting a fly by course and turning on shield boosters just in case and locking on to the Agent Station.
Supplemental: Dang! It was a trap. Someone planted a smart bomb on the hull of the hotel and when I got close it went off. It ripped through the shields and most of the armor in one blast. Luckily I had the Agent Station preset and just hit the auto dock button, was in warp before the three pirate ships that appeared from nowhere could get a lock on me. The agent was not happy, not happy at all. And these repairs would have cost me if I did not have a armor repair unit in my hanger. It was a bit embarrassing to sit outside the station while the repair unit did its job, but it was quick.
- End Log -
- This is almost a copy of Mission 4 of 10. So …
- This time you will take damage, BIG TIME. The Shield boost will help a bit.
- If you double click in space your ship will start traveling in that direction. I simply selected an open area of space off of the Hotel to do a fly by. Then I selected the agent station in the overview and place the mouse on the warp to or dock icon. Once the Journal flashed, I saw red on my shield/hull/structure indicator and a message in local came up saying the mission objective was done, I hit the button and off you go. Any one of these would be enough to head home.
- As I mentioned above, Local chat will give you information sometimes about the mission. In this case it will tell you that the mission objective is complete. Also that you got hit by a smart bomb. These cause massive damage to small ship at a range of 3000 m to 5000 m.
- It would also be a good idea to turn on your shield boost as you got close to the Hotel, but watch your capacitor level. If your capacitor level gets too low you may not have the power to warp all the way to the station, but you will warp out as far as you can. Then it’s just waiting a few seconds while you recharge and hit the warp to or dock button again.
- Do not worry about the ships that appear, just go to station. It is most likely that you will not be able to handle them alone as a new play. Even as an experienced play it took two of us in cruisers do it with little damage to ourselves.
