X3AP: tour of a lifetime -- WTF!

[Vector_Gorgoth]

I got the "visit all 11 Xenon sectors" tour of a lifetime mission; the pay was pretty good, so I took it and completed it -- and got three THOUSAND credits. Not million, thousand.

2,988 to be exact.

I was offered 3,111,780 credits, but then I visited "-12" extra sectors and got a "bonus" of -3,108,792 credits.

What the hell?

[Sabrina Bergin]

Did you leave anyone behind ?.

I got that too a little while ago. It said the mission difficulty was impossible though and the pay was only a million so I didn't bother.

Therer is a time lag when you are docked at a station, between being given the next sector and when all passengers are back on board.

I usually watch my passenger list , just to be certain.

Also, some staions you do not dock at.

I recently had the opportunity to accept a xenon ToaL mission and was persistent enough to actually complete it. As a personal rule, i didn't shoot at *anything* (i'm keeping a 0% harmless fighting score), so my TP was constantly chased by pretty much anything that could see me. Scary but doable with a few reloads

What really annoyed me was that mission objective didn't mention anything of losing part of the reward if i visit other sectors (or at least i didn't pay *that* close attention). Out of ~11M reward, i managed to cash in about 8M, the rest were deduced due to me jumping to a safe sector a few times to refuel. Overall it was positive but only because the original reward was ridiculously high.

Lesson learned: don't bother with one of them again unless I can complete it without a refuel. Also, make sure reward is over 5M, or you're better off doing simple taxi missions

You don't leave the sector to refuel. You have a tanker follow you. Of course that means you have to look after the tanker or else have spares.

I don't think it can be done without re-fueling and any use of turbo at all will make it worse.

I don't bother with those missions. I really don't think the reward is high enough for all the hassle.

1. I had all passengers

2. I didn't have to dock anywhere, just approach waypoints and wait (in Xenon sectors, in a TP)

3. I do not want to be penalized for visiting extra sectors; this looks like a pretty serious bug in the mission design. If there's going to be a penalty it had better mention it in the mission description.

3 mil is . . . it's enough to do it once for the novelty. 10 million would have been more reasonable.

Anyway, I'm not going to try to do refueling in a populated Xenon sector while piloting something with 75 MJ of shields. That's just stupid.

Sorry to ressurrect a somewhat old thread, but, can't you transfer the passengers from the TP to something a little more durable, somewhat cheezy perhaps but my hyperion got splendid viewports.-···

Man why are you raising the dead? This thread is 3 months old, I'm pretty sure he's sorted it by now.

Then don't do it again. Simon is probably correct in that the OP no longer needs help.
