If you want to do the polaris thread, head into Auroran space (strangely enough) and find their home world. AND I can't beat it again - View image here: - Keep getting shanked - View image here:. So I finally beat it, only to have it reassigned to me after reporting my success. Especially considering that half is nigh on impossible without doing the first half. Nice of them to only tell me the last half of the mission. This time cause the mission is just seemingly impossible - View image here: - Gonna try out some more stuff before giving up.Įdit: Got it now. Now I'm slightly futher along, but stuck again. Took about 15 times, but it worked (sadly. I had to land on Merrol to save my game, then just reload, land and check the Bar until it finally "clicked" at let me go on. After talkign with the people in #nova, we came to the solution. Yeah you need to check back once the rebs get you to start inserting spies.Īlready tried the checking back at other planets and "Redoing" the food/equip runs again. You may have to check back at either Earth or New England, I forget So have fun helping the febs to make the Auronans, the Rebels and the Polaris their biatch! All the others force you to be the nice guy, even the pirate thread. If you are on the real bureau thread (the one that comes from chosing to help them arrest that guy) then you are on the ONLY thread that lets you be a 'bad guy'. Thus you can chose whether to fire it or not, and it doesn't pointlessly fire when you are try to hit things at long range with rail guns (say). It just puts the ion cannon(s) on the list of secondary, rather than primary, weapons. As I see it it's just fixing a stupid aspect of the game mechanics.Īnd while you are at it, if you are an Ion Cannon user then maybe get the Secondary Ion Cannon pluggin too. It's not really cheating, since the missions are all very easy anyway. It has the effect of making it so that you only need to do one of each type of job (i.e. I suggest downloading the "Rush from Merrol" pluggin from this page. Sometimes it seems to go really quickly and sometimes it seems to stall. That is a famously annoying part of the plot thread - and in fact about 4 of the main threads manage to find a reason for you to do that rebel "food/then equipment/then rescue spies/then insert spies" sequence.
