If you have bigass engines corner-mounted like this, you have, in theory, ample lever to move the thing around.

Unless ships are turned by a gyroscope, in wich case yeah, it's not linked to engine at all.

Visually, though, it's clear that ships dont use trusters to rotate (aka, BSG-like or like the real Space Shuttles).

I haven't actually been able to get the ship yet, due to the mission failing every time. >_>

And no, they haven't been dying to each other's explosions. D:

Ok, a dev has yet to respond to this post to say for sure if this missions actually IS broken or if it's simply lack of pilot skill. I understand that a lot of people have had issues with it, but whenever I do it I have no problem… SOOOOoooo

Would any dev care to comment on this or should we start makin _rumors_ =P

Just noticed nobody sugested this so I thought I'd put the idea out there...

Give the ship 3 L ports and no small ports. This would enable people to use a tri megaposi, agt, rocket, repair gun, etc setup or with help from a ferrier a tri mining beam ship. I know, this also opens up the possibility of an uber spammer.

Really coulden't hurt to try out any of the suggestions mentioned thus far in the thread . The devs should be able to change it back easily enough if it dont work.

I ran through the missions again on another character a few days ago; took each mission once, didn't have any issues.

Ok... If Miharu can do it, everyone should be able to ;^)

Haha...

(Stupid thing still isn't workin though. I kill everything, then it fails to do anything. Is there some requirement that your escorts survive or something? They always get caught in a storm...)

I'm assuming your having issues on mission 3? Which is the only mission that requires you to go to 2 sectors to complete the mission. Make sure you follow your nav route uploaded by the mission. Kill quickly, and return to the station when your done. That's all I've done and it works fine.

The problems with the mission still exist. If you or your escorts hit a storm, if any of the bots die from splash or if anyone goes off the jump path, the mission will not end.

hmm... veering a bit of topic here, but here goes:

I just got my Raptor last night, and this was after I went back to the station before continuing to the second sector. For what it's worth, I only had the mission bug out once..... YMMV, I guess..

Oh okay...yes, I'm having issues with mission 3. I did try it, and I don't THINK I hit any storms once...

Is it necessary to kill ALL the bots in the first sector? It allows you to jump after 5, but maybe that's a problem...? Is it also necessary for my escorts to make it to the 2nd sector?

D:

No, and no. Just keep at it. It took me friggin forever, even making sure I only popped the bots one at a time.

I usually kill all the bots even after it says to move on. But that's me.

*shrug* Took me two times on two alts.

johnhawl218: Yeah, especially given that it took me 12 tries for the third mission on the first character I did it on >_>
