California Minor / Artifact Help Please

Thu Feb 27, 2003 12:50 am by gerwalker

Hello all,

I am presently Level 5 in the New York system, and I have to meet Juni at Planet California Minor, where we are to escort a convoy carrying Artifacts.

My problem is that when we get jumped, I die in 5 seconds.

Currently, I am piloting a Liberty Defender Very Heavy Fighter.

Can anyone please tell me if I can get a better fighter by this point in the game? If so, where can I get it? I tried to go to the Magellan System, but the warp gate won't open.

Thanks in advance!

Funny, the reason I'm here now is I have the same prob. I'm playing the PR beta, I hadn't even died before this point and I seem to spontaneously explode as soon as the furball starts. It's like someone hits me with a really advanced missile, a one hit kill. The longest I lasted I actually flew away from the fighting to make sure some glitch wasn't destroying me. That worked fine but as soon as I entered the fight, BOOM! There was the "other" type of shield available before I launced for this mission. Maybe I should have bought it? Normally I hate spoilers but I'm so tired of flying this mission over and over I'm ready to quit the game

I also have a PR copy of the game.

The beauty is that I have finished the mission ( barely

) But after landing on a space station I have to meet ( forgot her name :/ ) in space.

We go to the waypoint where there are some military ships awaiting us, and NOTHING. Nothing happens, I cant do anything, did anybody else have this problem.

PLS. help, my editor is not wery happy, I f*cked up my last rewiev, this one has to bee good - any sugestions ?!?

yub, fix your sound...

If you have problems with Mission III - fix you sound!

Sound isn't the only issue with mission 3. The guy who started this thread doesn't have the sound bug.

Thanks for the help!

I finally completed this mission successfully with a Defender.

You are right in that I needed to get a new shield. I believe I bought a Class 2 graviton shield, and when I did the mission, I hit my thrusters right away, cleared out, circled back and started engaging at range.

It also helped that I had Javelin missiles, drone mines, and the countermeasure flares. I believe I nearly used up my full stock of mines and flares, and about a third of my stock of Javelin missiles.

Geez, you guys are still shooting money at enemies? Retire those missles and get some better guns!
