Mercenary Quest Help

I am at the point where I have to defend the capital ship against attack. Having some trouble with a few things.

First, I have the level 2 ship hull, with everything dumped but shields and engines, with a level 2 wing.

I am using a level 6 particle and a level 4 laser.

I have two missile hardpoints.

Ok, so I warp in, hit Alt-R to target nearest enemy and begin to close. Typically I get so shot up on the way in that I die pretty quickly. How can I get into the dogfight without getting blasted to bits?

Also, I appear to have zero talent for missile evasion or for using countermeasures. Hints?

Thanks!

Log on to the R1 server. Ask somebody to give you a hand with the escort mission. (Press Enter key to open Chat.)

Hello Drewbicus, you can also hire some AI pilots (in SP) to help with that mission (I had to do that) then let them go after the mission.

Can you give more detail about what turning off IDS does? How does it impact how you fly?

Ok, new question - having logged into multiplayer and gone around a few places, I seem unable to get the Mercenary Quest for defending the capital ship any more. The latest quest message I get is the one telling me to defend the capital ship, as if I already HAVE the mission.

Does anyone know for sure which system and planet has the mission so I can be sure I am trying to pick it up at the right place?

And if not, how can I get the mission back? I have tried going to the location specified on the message about it, but there is nothing there.

Try going to SeeJay's website. He is working on an item that should help you out.

Select "IMG Quest Help" from the menu on the left.

I think also you have to dock at the right station to reaccept the mission to complete it.....
