Mission 8 bug, and workaround

Sun Oct 10, 2004 7:01 am by vitaljuices

Am new here so please be nice if i miss anything out, anyways to the point. when i play the SP game the mission to get sinclair and quintaine outta leeds system and to tau 31 to get to the cress base, just as you reach the jump hole to tau31 you have the rheinland ships there and the cruiser blocking the gate you kill the rheinlanders but after that it doesnt give you the option to go through the gate, if you try and land it say docking not allowed on either the gate or the glasgow outpost. if you go to the map screen it say about the mission but where it displays the waypoints it just says awaiting mission objective. i have reloaded from the autosave point a couple of times and no change.

im am runnin fresh install of FL V1.0 with TNG256, FLMM 1.31
XP pro SP1
AMD athlon xp 1800
512 drr ram
geforce2 mx 32mb ( no laughin plse )

Hi vitaljuices. Nobody will flame you for a good well described question here.

It's a known issue, Reynen's working on it. I've found a workaround which is to NOT fight the Rheinlanders, simply stay put when you are out of the trade lane. Going toward the enemy draws them near Glasgow Station, which is where the problem is. Their beam weapons will wipe out the Rheinlanders in seconds. Tobias needs to show up for the mission to continue, and if the cap ship is down, then he never shows. He needs to arrive to "save the day" and then when all Rheinlanders are destroyed, Tobias will inform you to go through the gate.
Sorry if this is a bit of a spoiler, but I wanted to explain the workaround in as much detail as possible.
