This is the hardest mission of the game so far but still only needs the one attempt. Its less than a surprise, when as soon as we take off we are attacked by some Kilrathi who want to get there hands on the doctor. I get a bit of help for this mission and its quite a bit easier than its predecessor.īack on Palan, the doctor get me to fly him to Basra in return for a bit of cash and information on the artifact. I have to take down a wing of Centurions in this mission.Īfter this we get to destroy the blockade itself. The next mission is pretty much the same, just with a much harder set of fighters to destroy. My first mission is to destroy some reinforcements being sent to the blockade. She tells me this is all being caused by two rival firms, one of which has blocked the planet to get a competitive advantage. In the bar there I run into Lynn who is organising the resistance to the blockade. He wants leave the planet but first I have to break the blockade of ships outside. He sends me to the nearby refinery base to find out more.īreaking back out of the blockade is a lot harder than getting in as the ships follow me all the way through an asteroid field to the base. There are a host of enemies on the way into the planet but I afterburn past and conveniently the doctor is waiting in the bar. This brings up a page from a book mentioning an archaeologist who can currently be found on Palon so that must be the next place to go. I get the mission done anyway and get access to the library. Afterwards I autopilot off and leave it behind. They don’t really feel like proper escort missions – the ship I’m looking after just stays where it is and I have to keep it alive. They get progressively harder but there isn’t a huge variety in these missions. Its back to escort duty next in what is near enough a repeat of the first mission.Īnd the final mission of the four is another escort mission. The dual missile launcher is invaluable again. Again I have to take on about 7 or 8 ships on my own to win the mission. Next mission is to destroy some data pirates. This is by far the largest number of ships I’ve had to take out but two missiles take care of every one. This guy looks suspiciously like Salman Rushdie which is probably intentional.Īs soon as I finish talking to him the retro’s attack in force. The first of these is an escort mission, to escort the author of a book the Brotherhood of Man consider heretical back to Oxford. However they agree for me to fly four missions on the cheap instead. I can’t get into the library without being and endowment sponsor. Oxford is a university planet and a bit of a change from anything I’ve seen before. The obvious thing to do is head for Oxford and try to research this thing myself. There is no one to pick up and when I go back to find Lynch he has done a runner as well. I shoot him down but the mission turns out to be a fake. When I get back to Lynch he tells me to find an employee of his who would be able to find out information about the artifact at Oxford library.īefore I get there, Lynchs bouncers (who was suspiciously absent earlier) attempts to get the artifact for Lynch by force.
In my usual style, I hit the afterburners and run away. I don’t manage to get far with Lynch’s cousin before confed pick me up.
