Stuck on a quest. [SPOILERS]

Post by SolarWarden »

I'm on Stage 67 of the [ALC] Transporter quest. The hypergate has been disabled by an intergalactic EMP, communications were lost with HQ, and I was told to analyze the current data and take whatever measures I deemed appropriate. I've checked in at Pearl HQ, nothing wrong there. I've redeployed a fuel processor under the star in Sapphire and a sensor station in the gate to see if I could recreate the past activation sequences, but nothing. Any hints or advice on how to proceed from here? I'd like to get the main quest out of the way before I start playing around in the MP servers.

8) Hint sent via PM. Let me know if you need another clue.

Hmm, the follow-on message you mentioned never occurred during my playthrough. I only got the first message, with nothing else. No quest marker on the NAV system, and when I went into the quest menu to display the last message, it fails to display. I wonder if it's a bug or glitch, or if I'm just missing something?

8) Good deal.

:o There should've been a follow-on message when you "failed" the stage ... telling you to try again. I guess I made a mistake when I branched that stage. (Ratz.)

The only message I got was the first one from the FOB after the EMP. I guess if I were a little more patient and thorough I would have eventually strayed into the target system. At least I found the hidden data post riddle in the process too, so I can scratch my head about deciphering that while finishing the quest up, heh. Thanks again :)

I have the same problem but on FDN side. No message after the info about the EMP. What's the trick? And why would you answer it via pm, this is useful information for everyone. ^^

8) As Patton once said after trapping and destroying Rommel's tank corps, "Rommel, you glorious b*****d, I read your book!" Or something like that ... the point being, yes, it would be useful information ... even for the enemy. (Keep in mind that suspicions are not the same thing as confirmations.)

As for the hint, you need to review the previous message:
From: Federation Hq, Central Command

Our Intelligence people have examined the
image on the north side of the gate and have
come to the conclusion that an attempt should
be made to enter the portal.

Astronomers aboard the Sapphire FOB have
identified the planet and Hq Intel tells us
that, once you have exited the portal, we can
contact you via an operable radio aboard a
wrecked cruiser. The wreckage should be near
the gas giant, inside an asteroid field.

Signed, HqDO-CentCom
In other words, do you remember seeing a gas giant anywhere?

So since the gate doesn't work for me, I have to check known systems for gas giants within an asteroid field. That's a lead at least. :D

I'm pretty sure the Vonari wouldn't read this thread and lay ambush to players. :D

I think you underestimate the Vonari, my friend. They are bolder now and have been seen outside warzones. There are also rumours that human sympathisers work for them.

Could be undercover FDN or ALC pilots or even secret government departments setting up the other faction! By the way, anyone wanting to join my conspiracy theory group, get in touch and I'll tell you how to get in touch so the government listeners can't intercept your messages.

In the UK GCHQ's (equivalent to USA's NSA) motto is ... 'Always Listening to Our Customers'
