1. cut the engine 2. shoot the missile 3. reengage cruise engines if you dont have a turret simply turn the ship, your floating direction will not change unless you engage the engines. happy aming <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

Check the mission objective if it really says &quot;dock&quot; or just &quot;go to&quot;. While your objective isnt &quot;dock&quot; stay near and take evasive action, it will change to &quot;dock&quot; after a while.

Afak there is nothing but the Nomad Energy Blaster &amp; the Nomad Energy Cannon. I´ve killed lots of them and never got anything else.

I made it like &quot;Star Wars - A New Hope&quot;: fly low and evade the turrets, right in front of the shield generators (0-10 m distance) i reduced my speed to reduced my speed to zero and strafed around until i was out of range for the defence. That worked pretty well, but maybe i just was lucky <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

Just try to deliver the finishing blow to enemies, otherwise they wont drop a thing. Then simply hit ´b´ to activate the tractor beam and get all the loot at once.

As mentioned in another thread you can mine diamons in the &quot;Schwefelnebel&quot;, wich gives you a much better profit. Depending on the field you are mining in you might get other sorts of metal too.

Crete &amp; Malta (both planets) sell lvl 9 weapons, and by killing some bounty hunters you might loot some more too.

The name already says it: at the border of the universe!<img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> If you start in the center (of the map/universe) you first get to one these three: Tau/Sigma/Omega and from there you can get to Omicron.

Jump holes to Omicron Gamma are in: - Omicron Theta, sector E6 - Omega 41, sector E5

If you really read my post i wonder why or what you were doing in Sigma 19 <img src=smilies/icon_smile_question.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> I listed the four ways to get to Omicron Theta above. PS: Wer lesen kann, ist klar im Vorteil! <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> (German for: &quot;The ability to read gives a clear advantage.&quot; )

I made it by shooting at the local police and like all criminals they love you for killing bounty hunters.

In Omega 5 you are two systems away from Omicron Gamma, try to find a way to Omega 41 and then you are already close to the jump hole to Omicron Gamma.

You´re welcome. To Tau 37 you can get there from: - Omicron Alpha, sector C5 - Tau 23, sector E2

Its in the Magellan system, sector E5.

afaik Edinburgh is reachable from Leeds or Tau 31 only.

Tohoku is only accessible in SP. And even there (after the campaign) i´ve found out that its one-way only, but you can get to Tohoku from Hokkaido.

take any of these: - Omicron Alpha, sector F5 - Sigma 17, sector F6 (top left of it) - Omega 41, sector E4 - Omicron Gamma, sector D3

I tried it several times with my freighter <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> and of course had no chance, then i simply bought the ship they are selling on that base (cant remember what it was called) first race with this: free flight, engaging cruise engines, taking the lead before the first ring and winning easily. Btw the ship was good enough for the next missions.

the monkeys are at least able to repair your ship! <img src=smilies/icon_smile_cool.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> The robots are too dumb.
