Help - Accidentally killed Scientist

Post by BryanNeff » Fri, 20. May 11, 23:50

X3 TC 3.1 English

No scripts/Mods. Dead is Dead game, so I can't save/reload

I'm on the Split Espionage an Sabatoge Takeover mission, where one is supposed to pick up the split scientist. However, I didn't realize my cargo bay was near full, and accidentally killed him.

Is there -ANY- way I can still complete this mission? It won't let me abort the mission and restart, and as I said, I can't just reload an old save because it's a DiD game.

I believe I killed him once by trying to transfer between ships. I had to go back to the Unknown Sector and get him again. The second time, he was in a ship that I destroyed - which then caused him to be ejected into space to be picked up.

I'm not seeing him in the Unknown Sector, and there's no arrows pointing towards anything I can pick up. Is there somewhere I need to go or something I need to do to make him reappear?

Try leaving the sector and entering it again.

Left and reentered several times. When I leave, the guidance tells me to go back into that sector, but it doesn't give me anything afterwards.

Hmm. How long has it been since you lost the scientist?

Get a bioscanner and scan any Split ships left in the sector. Maybe he respawned on board one of them.

No split ships left in the sector. Rechecked the captured elephant, but he's not on board it.

I'm fairly sure that the second time into the sector, the mission guidance still pointed to the scientist in the ship. If you have left and re-entered the sector, and if you've waited a few minutes for the mission to reset, I'm afraid you may be out of luck...
