New Player could need a hint

Tom_123 · Post by **Tom_123** » Thu Jul 28, 2011 4:36 pm

My first post here, so hi everybody.

Iâ€™m new to this game but I have played some similar ones, like Elite or the X series.
I already got me some cash, a decent ship and some good equipment.
I have already been to Sol and found some other uncharted systems and stations.
The only thing I couldnâ€™t accomplish yet is to find me a Mantis jump drive.
Therefore, I would really appreciate every hint and spoiler about where to get this Mantis drive.

TIA
Tom

Hello Tom_123, I could be wrong but I believe the IMG quest will lead you to what you want. You can also hop onto Multi-player and get help from other players if needed. Welcome to the forum and the Sim. Have fun and hope to see you in "Multi-Player" sometime.

Hi Tom, welcome to Evochron. Yes that's impressive going to Sol without a mantis lol! If you go into multiplayer I bet you someone will just give you one as a present! Otherwise the IMG quest will definitely lead you to where you can obtain said item.

Hope to see you out there so e time!

Thank you all for the warm welcome and the hints.

Iâ€™ll surely try MP some time but for now, Iâ€™ll stay in SP.

As for going to Sol, the credits belong to Seejayâ€™s nice and informative site.
I found a â€˜shortcutâ€™ there, so it was just about typing in the coords, switch on the autopilot,
get some coffee, get some work done, return after an hour and voila.

So I guess Iâ€™ll finish the main quest now.
Itâ€™s anyhow a good way for improving the skills needed in EM.

Thanks you all again

Tom
