Empyrean Curs Ace Trader Mission location fail

[Cybercalango]

Hi commanders,

In my game I'm stuck on Ace's piracy mission. The mission points to one of the sectors/silent witness zone that is dominated by xenon in a position behind the portal, so no trader to shoot.
Is it possible to change this position to a better location? Save editing, MD or something else?

I thought about cleaning up the sector, but it would still be a long way from merchant traffic.

Does it point to the two Silent Witness sectors beyond the first? (that is infested with Xenon in your game) These two tend to be neutral & have a flourishing economy (albeit a bit less with the Xenon I presume). Traveldrive should help you pass safely through the Xenon sectors.

If it points to the first sector or the two sectors are indeed desolate, you could try abandon the mission & recontact Ace. Not sure if it resets, so save before you do this!

This mission cannot be abandoned. The point is that there is no trader traffic. Since I don't have a previous save point I'll have to clean up the sector or part of it and build a station to attract traffic.

Thanks for the tips anyway.

For those who came to this topic for having a similar problem, I could only continue with a previous savegame that, despite pointing to the same sector, there was still a station with enough traffic to continue the plot.

Painful was to lose the complete terraformation of Shiokaze in Getsu Fune
