I need help gettin into Alaska

Thu Aug 19, 2004 7:18 pm by Haloing

Please if this question is allowed here tell me how to get past the mines protecting the Alaska gate or perhaps a secret wormhole to the system.
If this has already been addressed please tell me where to find the answer.

Thank you in advance.

There IS a path through the mines (look on your nav map, there's one mine icon that has a "dent" in it; look around there for an opening in the mines) but the jump gate is locked anyway. You can't go through.

You'll get to it during the campaign, at which point it will be easy.

Afterwards, the easiest way is to keep watching the jump gate while going through the Norfolk -> Texas Gate lane. When you're directly in "front" of it, exit the lane and head towards it. Look around some and you'll see the opening.

Thanks guys. I dont remember when I went to Alaska in the campaign. I beat the game a long time ago and I just recently started playing again just to get all of the special items and best ship.

Is there anything special in Alaska?
Why is it locked? Can a mod open the gate?

I'm just looking for the high end stuff from wrecks and shops. But I cant find the Champion shield level 10 with the high hit points. the one with 11k+. I dont remember the name.

sorry but that one isn't sold for some reason the highest shield you can possibly get is the adv. brigandine with 8k hp's but its a positron shield not a graviton like the champ shield.

Some mods have made the champion and adv. champion shield available for purchase the only mod i personally know that has these for sale is the Level 2 mod by samurai studios but it is a multiplay only mod,and they are working on the new version so the server isn't up to play on.

All Alaska actually contains is a prison base. You go there during the storyline, but you can't buy anything or visit the pub or anything like that. Other than that, there are a lot of mines floating around...and that's about it.

there are no mines in alaska just spiky looking rocks in most of the system. There's nothing there besides Prison Station Mitchell and Juneau Shipyard, which you can't dock with. I ended up using Freelancer Explorer to add a jumphole and some rogues to Alaska just to make things a little more interesting.

A rumour on manhattan says a liberty cruiser was destroyed in zone 21 by the order.

Beware pirates bearing gifts!

start at the trade lane at Battleship Missouri heading to the Texas gate and go to the third trade lane ring.
Make an immediate left and look for the gate to alaska. Head straight for it and you'll go right though the opening.

The gate to Alaska and that 3rd trade lane ring mark the path to the gate.

nothing really is in there just the prison and the base juneu ship yard unless soomeone puts nomads in there he he he

First, download chips open sp, and activate it in FLMM. This will open all jumpgates, now go to Baltimore Shipyard and head until you reach the Zone 21. There should be an opening in the mines, head through.
