[Spoiler] Need help with contract type (EL)

Post by XenonSurf »

I have some questions about contracts and my civilian rating, in order to know in what direction I should continue to play the game.

1)
I'm at the stage where I have gathered the most important devices, including Mantis drive and TW. It was hard but I got there.
So my cash is going straight up, as does my civilian rank. But still my 'rating' is unchanged to Trainee. How to increase that, is it the quantity of contracts that I must succeed?

2)
Succeeding contracts and getting more cash will increase the contract payments. But will it unlock new types of missions, I mean civilian ones?

3)
I'm looking for a specific type of mission that I loved to play in EM, but I don't know if you can play it in EL: It was about doing the station police job and scan the cargos of ships. This was challenging because there were enemy fighters around that you had to avoid too. I don't know if it is (was) a civilian or military mission. Thanks for your help to tell me how to get this mission :)

4)
AFAIK, there are 2 types of combat missions: those you do as a civilian, and those where you work for the military.
In order to get access to military ships, where do I have to go, where do I take missions from? In normal stations, I find some interesting combat missions (I likely cannot succeed some of them without hiring other ships), but these missions don't give me access to other ships, at least I haven't seen any in the shipyard.
Where do you get these additional military vessels?

Thanks very much for putting light on my points above !!

To Vice:
Oh man, a Terrain Walker for less than 800.000 :D
In Mercenary they cost 10 times as much !!! I love its functionality, for what it does it should cost like in EM, in my opinion!

Check your six,

To rank up your MIL (Trainee) you need to do contracts in a WarZone.;)

Ah yeah, WARZONES... I totally forgot about that. Thanks Seejay!
So the 'rating' is a military one. Will have to play with muscles...

What do you think about a Phoenix with Engines 5 to start military missions? The problem with lighter frames is they are agile ++ but they are made of paper because lack of capacity.

You don't have to do combat missions. Any mission will do, so any frame will do as well. ;)

There are delivery contracts in hostile space where you must deliver the cargo while both you and the receiving ship are under attack. If you're lucky, you'll get the job done before the AI destroy the receiving ship. You can also do spy contracts (note: the length of time it takes to get the data is about the same length of time as a stealth missile lasts). As for the smuggler contracts, I think they can be found in EL ... I just haven't seen any lately.

@SeeJay, thnaks and: I like your yellow signature, the 2nd one..Curious if I have to take any such direction.. :D

@Marvin, hello and thanks for the pointer. I have started EM after a long time, and actually found that mission type. It's a military one, I think it spots after you have successfully done some combat, not before. I actually like this sort of 'progression' in the game. I guess it's the same in EL.

Greets,
