Hidden planets, nomads, and missions...

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!

Hidden planets, nomads, and missions...

Got several questions:

1- From the image in the nav map, i see i've found a "hidden" system; think I did from Omicron alpha; it's a system with robots and apes. Here's my questions about that:

a) How do I get to the other hidden system (interrogation mark in top right corner of map) ?
b) In the robots and apes system, what do I do to improve my rep? Are there missions?

2- Can't seem to put more then 2 nomads cannon on my ship; is it possible to have more?

3- Are there any long term mission past nomads (lvl 18 - Juni and all...) ?

4- How do I go to the Alaska system?

5- Didn't found that yet, and nothing explains it in the manuel; so, how do I do weapons grouping?

Any informative answer would be appeciated.

Thanks.

1. a&b. Check the stickys. "all jumphole locations" "all ahips, all stats, all locations"

2. you can put nomad guns on any lvl 10 weapon slot.

3.No

4.Alaska is part of an SP mission only

5.Not sure

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.

Got some questions answered. Thanks to Bargib for is map: ftp://www.lancersreactor.com/flmap.jpg

As for your answer Hairfarmer, and how much 10 lvl sockets are available? Presently I guess I don't have more then two, since I'm unable to put more, but if it's the case, is it player lvl depending ? Think I'm currently lvl 37 or 38. On that matter, what's the maximum available?

Other question multiplayer oriented: did not play multiplayer yet; when you do so, do you start from scatch or is it possible to use your single player ship in multiplayer?

Thanks for any helpful information.

LOL hairfarmer, i'm nominating you for 'Most Efficient Use Of Space' award

(I'm cut 'n pasting this) - 'Select the weapons you want in your group by clicking on them in the bottom right HUD. Green means they're selected. Once you have done that you need to press your 'Asign Weapon Group X' key where X is the number of the weapon group you want to assign. I dont think there is a default key for this - i usually use 'SHIFT + X' to assign a weapon group and then change the numbers so that instead of 'Fire weapon X' they are 'Select Weapon Group X' - assign them in the controls menu.

Once you have assigned them you can easily switch between them. Watch out tho 'cause it tends to forget the weapons groups every now and then and you have to reassign them.'

As for alaska, you can also get a few mods which reopen that jumpgate.

Thanks Redeye, I'll try that. As for mod's, I'll wait; I don't know if my version of the game (french) can cause problems with english language mods. Furthurmore, haven't done everething, tried everything, when everywhere yet. Just discovered hidden system and trying to kill nomads to improve my rep with the inhabitants of the planets. Doesn't seem to change evething, but since the docking ring fires at them...

I'm trying to figure out what ship you are using that has only 2 lvl 10 slots... If memory serves the 3 top ships all have 4 lvl 10 slots and 2 level 9 slots. are you sure that you arn't trying to put level 10 wepons on level 9 slots?

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.

Well... as it turns out I can take 4 sockets and fill them with nomads canons, but that would mean taking away thoses Diamondbacks lvl 10 weapons which fill 2 already. Haven't found a more powerfull weapon yet. As for your information, I'm playing with a Titan.

Having made space exploring since my first post, I finally manage to get to that hidden system via Omicron Alpha, problem is...... haven't seen nothing there but void space, which is annoying since I get pilloned by nomads fighters. Hope the other hidden systems turns out more interesting.

On a sad notice, can't reach Omicron Minor, Omicron Major or Alaska; don't know what to do next. :-(

...other hidden systems??? there are only 2.

Omricon Minor and Major...no routes to them, if you use galactic map, you only just see your ship me thinks...
