Thuban Jump Gate ?

Zmee · Post by **Zmee** » Sun Feb 27, 2011 4:55 pm

Hi all,

Newbie pilot ... I've been enjoying the game for a few weeks and I've perused the help thread and member posts for help (very usefull tips, thanks!) ...

However, I'm at a loss when jumping from Sapphire to Thuban ... There doesn't appear to be a jump gate available, in SP play, I haven't done MP yet.

I thought I might find it by scouting south of Sapphire but no joy. I went all the way around to Thuban via the long way in hopes to find the gate back to Sapphire but alas ... no joy.

I figure it's either staring me plainly in my face or there's a hiddin gate or something mysteriously going on to find the connection.

Any help or coordinates would be much appreciated.

Thank you all in advance!

Now you Zmee, now you don't!

Ok, thanks Eclipse ... I'll look there (can't now, at work), appreciate the fast reply! Since I never saw any help threads on this I figured it's got to be there and not a bug... It was staring me in my face after all!

I'll check your page SeeJay, thank you ... I don't remember looking at those yet .... I've always appreciated the time and work spent by the veteran's to get the new guys up to par.

The gate is hard to spot on the nav map. It is close to a Station that blocks its view. Once you right click on the right Station where Eclipse mentioned and zoom in to that sector you should see the gate....

Good luck and welcome to the game and forum...see you out there some time.....

Hello Zmee, Welcome to the forum and the Sim. See you out there sometime.

Thank you all for replying ... I can see why I missed it at the range I was looking at ... the planet graphic on the nav map covered it up. The noobish part of it all was when I flew thru Thuban (via Orion) I didn't look carefully enough to find the return gate back to Sapphire which would have poped near the planet ... Doh!

Anyway ... I've finished the IMG quests and I'm studying the two Beacon quests ... I've read the strategy page and other threads hinting at how to go about this ... Funny thing is, the Hunt for Rift Space suppose to start at the Beacon near the station and I've just recently learned the beacon are found visually so I feel it's missing but I'll search again.

The Arvoch Conflict Artifact beacon (according to the strat page) is on Sapphire (from the screen shot it appears imbeded partly in the planet) .... So, I'll need to find that one.

In either case, going to the nav points from the strat page doesn't help ... some containers yeah but no beacon ... I'll need to start from the beginning and let it all fall in place, since it hints at a particular ship frame etc.

If I can't get anywhere with those quests I'll holler again. As far as MP goes, I'll go for that after I've got some kind of clue getting around the quadrant and such ....

Thanks again!

Radar clear where beacons are concerned. Unless I miss my guess, you won't find any in Mercenary.

Hmmm ...yeah, I get that feeling ... some containers only at the nav points outlined by the strat guide, at least as far as I got up to the Fauston beacon locations.

Any particular reason why they might be removed from Mercenary? I mean, by itself with the IMG quests you get around but then ... without any further quests the only way to find anything is through the strat guide or locations from the forums .... hmmph.

I think the Riftspace quest is in Legends not Mercenary (but my old mine could be wrong again) but Riftspace does still exist. Hop onto MP and we can help you there also.

Yeah ... MP sounds better ... I was just up a second ago ... Wish I could change my c/s ... I progressed with c/s "Merr" on SP ... ahh, if I known my advance career SP carries over to MP (thanks Seejay for that tip) ... oh well ....

If anyone see's a dweeb called Merr ... it's Zmee

You can rename your pilot. When you get to the sign on window that shows the first 8 of your pilots you can highlight the one you wish to rename then hit the second option at the bottom which is rename and the old pilots name should disappear and you put in the new name. This is how we add clan tags to our pilot profiles also. The pilot file stats stay the same only the name (call sign) changes.
