Zone 21 - NewYork - Alaska - Minefield Entrance Found

Sun Mar 09, 2003 1:27 am by DJW

** I've found the entrance to the minefield in Zone 21 ***

(1) Get to the New-York System and get to the Battleship Missouri.

(2) Point your ship down the New-York-Texas TradeLane.

(3) About 16 K down from the TradeLane / Battleship (NB: Before jumping into the TradeLane, put a waypoint on the Battleship Missouri as a ref.) - Escape the Tradelane. (Press Esc key) - You should be roughly by a TradeLane ring construction.

(4) Pointing to your waypoint (towards the Battleship) turn your ship 90 Degrees to your right. You should now be pointing roughly at the NY -> Alaska Gate.

(5) Select the ALL option off your Contact list (bottom right), and select the gate in the list.

(6) If you're pointing in the right direction and at the right target, You should now have the focus/target set to the NY -> Alaska Gate in the distance in front of you.

(7) Goto your Nav/Map (F6) and clear All waypoints and set a New Waypoint on the NY -> Alaska gate. The gate should be approx 26+K away

(8) As long as you keep on course for this waypoint you shoud fly down the narrow passage in the minefield.

Note: You can use your CruiseEngine for most of the way there, but I'd suggest turning it off once you start seeing mines clearly - as you wouldn't want to slam into a wall of mines, as you'll probably need to fine tune your (up/down) in relation to the minefield entrance, the closer you get to it, as I had to do.

Once near the entrance (you can't miss it now!) you should be able to fly right on in.. The entrance is approx 100ft wide. Unfortunately the gate itself doesn't activate

Well, I hope this has helped...

- Happy Flying

Ummm reading all of that.. is just all jabbie language to me! could at lease give us the GRID LOCATION TO IT??

Hmmmm... OK.... I'll try and Co-ordinate it

Galaxy Map Location : Liberty System.
Local System Map Location: New-York System.

This system (NewYork) is in the middle of the Colorado / California / Texas Areas. (just look on the toplevel map / Sirius Sector)

The point where you leave the TradeLane should be at the bottom of F5 grid/cube area just before you cross into F6.

The Zone 21/ NY->Alaska Gate is in G5.

Is this enough for you?

Too bad we can't use it in MP.

what's the point if you can't actually fly into alaska?

Agreed with above poster, I see no reason to even do it since Alaska isn't available after the single player story.

You can fly into it, you just need to edit the initialworld.ini. Although there's nothing there except the prison (black and no options when you dock with it) and the shipyard which you can't dock with.

The only reason I posted this was that there have been a lod of questions asking how to get through the minefield... I did say at the bottom of my post that the gate was non-functional.

Heres a little idea to help is incomprehending noobs: make waypoints on your little onboard map, print screen and put it up here

*If you have a cat and a dog in the same house, will that be a problem? Of course not, you might just have solved world hunger*
