Starting mission about getting close to a ship and scanning it

Post by Rushino »

Hi,

I am trying to figure out how to accomplish that mission. Its part of your starting area as a combat pilot. It say i must stay close a ship in order to scan his cargo. To be honest the ship is a capital ship and staying close is pretty dangerous.. so how does the scanning work ? i can't seem to figure out.

Thanks for any help :)

I think you need a scaner and get close enough for the scan start to scan... some scaner have better range than others

:cool: You need to target the capital ship ... then, once you're in scanning range (no special equipment is needed), a countdown timer will be displayed. And, yes, it's a dangerous venture ... unless you happen to be carrying some kind of stealth device to cloak your position.

Fully agree with Marvin - being sneaky is the way to go for me! Sneak Tech is described in the official game instructions and in the Mercenaries Technical Guide

In and out before they know you're there! :D
