Kill the Rheinlanders

If I had a nickel for every time someone told me that my idea for melting down coins to make a giant robotic parrot was a bad idea, I would have one kicka$$ giant robotic parrot.

Oops, O.K. refresh my memory. What mission is that? What is the mission objective? You might not be able to dock anywhere becaues there is somthing you have to be doing. More details please.

i think it's the one where you're escaping from Bretonia to Kusari

Need alittle more info then that. Jump gates/trade lanes will never be locked because of your rep. If you have a bad rep with the police the Jump gates/trade lanes will shoot at you but you will still be able to use them. More than likely the problem is that you are not completing the mission properly. But I need more info to help you.

Caswell, the tradelane you are trying to dock with is the wrong one (happened to me as well the first time).

Watch out for the mission way point and listen to the comments of Tobias.

Hmm....

More Information.... Yes this is the escape from Bretonia with Quintaine and company. Jumped at the tradelane leading from Holman to the jumpgate to
mumble mumble on our way to get quintaine to shikaku.

I followed the waypoint to the point where the rheinlanders decloak and there's a tradelane right behind the BB. Don't remember seeing any others. WIll have to look again because I do remember now that there is a "pause" mission update
so it's possible there's another tradelane there.

As for killing the rheinlanders, with no one else fighting I can get the BB mostly down, but the gunboats/fighters kill me off . It's sooo much fun being the only duck in the shooting gallery <grin>

Thanks for the hints. will try them out later today.

Only working trade lane in Tau-31 is Cambridge Jump Gate <-> Holman Outpost <-> Tau-29 jumpgate and partialy completed lane between Holman to Tau-23 Jump Gate. I think u are click on incomplete trade lane while try to run away. Should follow mission waypoint..

Leeds (combat, 2 fighters) -> Stokes (combat, 4 fighters) -> Glasgow (Combat 1 gunboat and 5 fighters) -> jump to Tau-31 -> Holman outpost (ambush! run away to waypoint then use tade lane) -> middle between Holman and Tau-23 Jumpgate (take out one of 2 Gunboats) -> jump to Tau-29 then dock with Shinkaku station (repair and resupply, whew!) -> Combat at open space (1 battleship and 5 fighters, no combat after this) -> jump to Tau-23 (Cali Base) -> jump to Kyushyu (mission complete!) thats all. Buy Dragon before take on next mission.

yeah, make sure you are docking with the correct trade lane, there is one that ism't built yet and the one you need to dock with is a bit further on.

Well... that was interesting.

Yup problem was I kept heading for the tradelane I could see and not
listening to Tobias.... <sigh>

Thanks all.

Can't buy the drake right away due to lack of funds. time to look for work.
