I need help

Hey, I'm not really sure where the best place is to post this topic, but I'll give it a try here. I'm playing through the campaign using the latest version of the TNG mod and I'm stuck on the stupid Hovis race. During the regular game I never had any problems and always won on the first try, but for some reason I'm finding it impossible to control my ship while using this mod. I bought one of the ships there on the Hood, but I still can't control it well enough and I always miss a gate a little over halfway through--I'm going nuts. Is there anything I can do to skip the race or make my ship more manuverable? Thanks.

Seems some of the mods really mess up the SP game. Sounds like what you've got.

Well, that sucks.

Does anybody know if there is a mod or something that I can use along with the TNG mod to skip the race? I guess it's not that big of a deal, but I really wanted to keep on going with the story using the TNG mod, but I've tried it a bunch of times and I don't think I'll ever be able to do it.

I had the same problem. I ended up not using the cruise engines. The thruster will egt you more speed and allows some slowdown control on the tight turn gates. Try it. Just go full throttle at the start of the race and hold the thruster key when you get to a tight corner just let off on the thruster key, slow down, turn then fire it up again. Took a couple of times but i did get through it.

Good luck.
