High level missions: Where?

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

No, It's no bull****!!

Those people are not lying. I was in omicron whatever, in the corsair home planet to get my Adv Brigandine lv 10 Shield. I got from the Job Board there a 215K Mission to kill bunches of Bounty Hunters in the same system sector 5 F. I was in Sabre with no lvl 10 weapon yet back there.

I had to fight 3 waves of Hammerheads. It lasted no longer then that Berlin-Tokyo trade, but WAY more interessting.

I don't have the screenshot, but I'm not lying either. Give it a try and u'll find the truth.

Ok, here's your proof. This is the biggest mission I've ever seen, and it's the second time I've taken one this big. I wouldn't be surprised if it's possible to get 250K though. Oh, and this is on planet Malta.

I do missions at sirius stations for the bounty hunters guild killing red hessians.

teh trick is, they drop some nice guns, and they often drop nobium, and you can sell the nobium for big bucks after you fill your hold.

no they are NOT the biggest missions, but the great thing about them is almost everyone hates the red hessians, so it gives you some good faction.

yo, thanx for the screenshot! now is there some certain trick to get those spicy missions? do i have to be the outcasts' best buddy? do i have to fly a certain ship? equip certain guns? anything else? so far i'm only doing 145k maximum missions for the corsairs...

Okay, I now believe they exist. Thanks for te pic.

Hmmm, when I took that shot I think I had a very good rep with the outcasts, and a pretty good rep with both bounty hunters and corsairs (not green, but very high white).

I was Level 38, about 5.5 million creds in the bank, flying an Eagle oufitted with 2 diamondbacks, 2 Cerberus's, 2 Cannonball missile launchers, sunslayer torps, advanced countermeasures, ripper mines, advanced thrusters, and class 10 positron shield.

I know that the Nomad guns are more damage per second, and they don't take energy. I also know that missiles and torps are highly impractical, but at this stage of the game I'm really just screwing around.

dis is kinda strange, for it is hard to stay friends with bounty hunters, while killing them for cash..

damn, i'm also lvl38, have 9mio credits, a sabre, six nomad blasters (hacked the INI), sunslayer and best possible reputation with the outcasts and the corsairs. and still, all i get at crete or malta are 145k maximum missions... anyone knows WHY???

At the moment I am doing missions at Omega 41 from the freeport there. Best one I got so far was a lvl 43 mission for 230 000. It was pretty tough solo until the reinforcements arrived. But with lvl 9-10 weapons and lvl 10 shields it is possible if lag isn't too bad.

I wonder if there are any higher lvl missions that are worth doing for highlvl groups because for 2 lvl 38 pilots this is already too easy I think. Would be fun If there was higherlvl missions that would send you to the unknown system from omega gamma to hunt some nomads there. Solo this unknown system is the toughest challenge I found so far (pretty impossible to survive there longer than 5 minutes hehe - but maybe I just suck .

you just suck ; )

man, i'm talking about SINGLE PLAYER here! could it be that those lvl43 missions are available in MP only?

i cant seem to get any missions from zoner bases, even though they are friendly on my rep, including completely friendly with corsairs.. nor can i get the zoner rep all the way friendly, is there some other way to do that? freeport 9 wouldnt let me take any missions, it said not friendly enough with the factions on this base (do the zoners actually give you missions or is it only the other factions that land on those zoner bases that give you missions?)
