Missions/navigation

Grim · Post by **Grim** » Wed Aug 31, 2011 1:32 am

Just started playing.
2 questions please.
1) did the cleaning solar power mission, went back to collect my paid, mission not done. So I though I would go back to the panel and try again, but it was not marked on my nav map, and in the mission log there is no direction listed. How do you go back to a mission point once you have moved the nav marker?
2) At the start of the game it says I should go to a planet to do what I think is the main story line mission. I did not take note of what planet to go to. help!

Hello and welcome.

1 - If you haven't yet completed an objective, there should still be a blue box on the nav map highlighting the contract waypoint for you to help guide you back.

2 - Inventory Console > News Console > View Last Quest Message.

Hello Grim, if you can get on-line (MP), other pilots can help with questions as they come up. Welcome to the forum and the Sim. Have fun and hope to see you in Multi-Player sometime.

thanks for the assist.

A couple more if I could.

Finished one of the main plot lines, it gives you co- ordinance of a hidden catch way off the beaten track. Once I get there how do I find my way back? Do I have to remember the co-ordinance from where I start and input them?

When designing a ship does the placement or size of wings, tank ect matter?

I have a panther, with a level 10 shield and a shield boostx4
the shield bar takes ages to recharge. Does the frame effect how fast your shields recharge and how much power you have for weapons?

Military ships are brought from carriers? Where is the closest one from where you start (is marked as 1?) and how soon can I dock at one?

Thanks

The navigation map has coordinates for all the main star systems. It also shows your location. Ergo, you can determine which is the closest inhabited system, plug in the coordinates, and engage autopilot. Or you can save the coordinates to your Nav Log and use that instead.

The closest carrier is in the northwest section of Sapphire. But, to get better military ships, you need to do contracts in a war zone.

Like Marvin said. To get access to higher class and more advanced Military ships you need to do contracts in one of the 4 Warzones to increase your military rank. The higher your military rank the more access you have to the higher end military ships.....

ok, still having a little trouble with navigation, this time with passengers.

eg. Take them to command beta 2400,0,2500.

What does that mean? r they sx, sy, sz co-Ordinance?
