Help, the Xenos have Captured Me !

I have just spent the last hour killing Xenos around their base to raise my Rep with the rest of the "bad" guys.

I was chasing one as he tried to dock with the base and made it through the open door. It closed behind me !

Now I am stuck inside. There are 3 Xenos flying about outside "getting a lock on me". Is it at all likely that a friendly patrol is going to come by in the near future and kill them, forcing the doors to open again (there is a green patrol line nearby), or do I have to loose the boring hour of Xeno Zapping ?

The place you're stuck now, does it sell decent ships? also stock up on shield batteries and nanos. Or perhaps you can find someone to bribe the Xenos for you. If you're not rich enough, then I guess the rest of us will just have to pool in some cash to ransom you out

I havent made it on board, they wont let me dock. I am inside the docking tube !

Cant get in, Cant get out. The rocks can, they get in, bounce about a bit then bounce out again.

Never head of that happening before It looks like your stuck big time! Have you tried Shooting the doors, or even clicking the Landing Icon to see what happen's. Or maybe even drop a Mine or fire a Missle at the doors. Just try everything to see what happends!

Wait for the fighters to ram themselves to death... then they'll launch more fighters from the base; when that happens, get out of the docking bay.

Post Tue Mar 18, 2003 8:25 pm

Well I left it for over an hour. The ships outside didnt dock, they didnt ram themselves to death (although they did get a spot or two of damage now and again, but healed themselves). No Bounty Hunters showed up to polish them off for me.

I tried going to cruise which was quite funny as I suddenly was bouncing about inside the little tube as my shields drained.

In the end I started launching my torpedos, I died in the blast. Blast.

If your playing MP you should have someone come over and slaughter them all, the base will b forced to let go of more fighters which will open the door. Or........we could resort to sunslayers

Post Tue Mar 18, 2003 10:31 pm

Oh yeah, I did that before...except it was Detrit Munitions, but I didn't wait long. That reminds me, during the demo (while using a mod) I was getting ready to dock with Detroit Munitions...but as the docking doors opened, I fired a sunslayer torpedo inside. Muahaha!! ...but the docking sequence continued anyway, heh.

Edit: Using torps and cruise engines inside the docking tube? Oh I gotta see that! lol.

hehehe .. yeah .. its a real funny bug. Happened to me when i was leaving a station and before the doors opened, i got disconnected from the MP server. When i reconnected, i was inside the station! I panicked and was about to blast the doors when i heard the ever common

"You are clear to dock"

and the doors opened for some NPC, and i bolted out of there. hehehe ... getting trapped in the Xenos dock was classic!! hahaha ... And i dont think they open the doors to let out more Xenos. I blasted over a 100 of them and all the backup always comes from deep space. None actually come out from the base. Its also silly that you cant destroy the turrets or the weapon platforms. ;P

I have seen more xenos come out of the base while camping Ouray.

But I never got trapped in side.

The least you could have done was get caught by more intimidating bad guys
