Brennon's triumph question :?

How do you scan for mines in the third mission where you are looking a that broken gate to earth, and also, how do you destroy them once you find them?

Keep pressing Page up or Page down to cycle through the enemies. (Think they're the cycle target buttons) They should target the mines.

Fire mosquito missiles to destroy them, just stay back. Sometimes it'll take 2 to kill them.
To scan the gate you need to get REALLY close in your space suit to cscan the 2 Nacelles.

BTW, I presume you're playing X2?

yup. I'm on X2. Is there any way to destroy mines other than using missiles? if not, where can you buy them? thanks so far.

You can also fire with primary weapons, but the danger is much much much greater...

Moskito rockets you should be able to get at the Argon prime Equipment dock

you need mosquito missiles, they crap aganists ships but if you targat the mines and let 1 go they will blow them up.

P.S dont get within 2km of the mines or they will damage u

You can buy mosquito missiles (dead cheap and do the job) at equipment docks and trading centres, IIRC. And, of course, the appropriate factories.
