[TC] New Home Plot Walkthrough

Thanks for the guide it's been helpful.

I am having an issue though, and am hoping someone can tell me if my game is messed up or if I'm just being dense and missing something obvious.

After I enter the password, cafe turns blue and I get an incoming message. After the message, I get a quick cutscene showing the sector, and my mission updates telling me to pick up the astronaut. However, there are no astronauts with the right name in the sector, and there is no mission guidance.

Is this expected? I am running a modified game, so its possible one of my scripts messed something up, though I disabled most of them before starting the plot, and disabling all of them before entering the passcode doesn't help any.

Sorry, but since none of us know what scripts you're using, how they change the game files individually and how they change the game files in tandem, then no-one in this forum has a hope in hell of helping you out with that one.

Which is why things like that belong in S&M.

Fair enough. Just wanted to check that I wasn't missing anything. Thanks.

It will be listed in your objectives shortly after jumping in, and your guidance should point you straight at it.

If it doesn't, then 'your game is probably broken' is my unprofessional assessment of the situation!

Try reloading and trying again. You'll get Betty telling you bad things about your jumpdrive, wait a minute or two (I can't remember how long exactly but it isn't too long) and it should flag up the guadance reticle.

Thanks for your lifesaving guide! I tried on my own, struggling through the insane suduko to fail on the code. I came on the site hoping to find some guidance and found your walk-through, behold there the answer was, I had only found the second half of the code! Thanks for supplying the first half for me, I still do not know whether it was me or the game that was at fault.

Spychotic · Post by **Spychotic** » Sun, 16. May 10, 22:29

You, I'm afraid. The game gives you both codes; #efaa's is given to you directly and #cafe's is given to you in chapter 1 in the garbled message you recieve. #efaa tells you that you need to append one to the other. Few people have got it; I had to look it up myself.

Hey I have all the needed things I think, magnator TM, life support and I have tried so many times.

11th unfocussed jump brought me to blue profit - thats is a total of 22 jumps back and forth!!!!

I am up to my 44th jump and have not been randomly place back into normal univers to freedoms reach?

This is getting old and very boring!!!! I would have expected 44 / 6 would have placed me into at least more than 6-7 random sectors on the way back but only one?!?!

I got bored fly in with my carrier and dump 100+ laser towers and they all disappear in 2 secs?!?! and my wings of 40 fighters did not even last 11 secs?????

They need to fix the random chances or let us fly in with blunt force!!!!

Do I need to fly around a bit in the unknown sectors first? do I have to fly in reverse? do I need to remove certin equipments or less energy with me? Please some hints here, I just want to get this off my que list!!

Thanks in advance!!!!

Do you have a fighter docked to the TM?

If you don't, then that's why you never jumped into Freedom's Reach.

If you do, you will get there within 6 jumps.

The reason that all your LTs and fighters dies was because everything within about 20k of #cafe that is not player piloted suffers hull damage due to the corrupting influence of the Terraformer-Xenon virus.

No I did not try that, Idid not see that in the instructions but seen some others write about it. I will give it a try, I hope I can do it in 6 or less attemps.

Edited to make it clearer what I was on about.

mangar · Post by **mangar** » Mon, 17. May 10, 15:14

Thanks so far,
went in with 3 fighters, all got creamed in 2 secs.
then I kept them docked, and I could not dock a station?

I thought I would be cute and dropped 10 LT's and died 3 secs later.
.....
Well I changed config, went in with one figther and had it protect me, I brought no LT's, the fighter was killed 2 secs later, I have been sitting at the station for about 5-8 minutes and no people get on my TM? the only thing is other mini missions to bring people to argon station for work?

Do the missions to bring workers for labor have to be done first? or do I wait another 15 minutes before the small group of people say take us out of here?

Thanks in advanced!

mangar · Post by **mangar** » Mon, 17. May 10, 16:06

OK IT WAS THE GROUP NEEDING TO GO TO "a" ARGON STATION, that was the group that clear the mission even though it showed up as two seprate missions. I am done.

Errr.... Back to sacking some enemy ships.

If you pick Spires of Elusion, am I the only one thats noticed a deactivated gate straight out from the main gate and to the left?

Spychotic · Post by **Spychotic** » Thu, 20. May 10, 12:13

Nope. There's entire threads on that knocking around.

I am part thru hub mission. Parked hub between danas and freedoms. I load spectre missiles on my Springblossom (200+ each time). I lead a group of cefa's etc away then toast them with missiles. There is a problem...

The cefa is supposed to carry 50 fighters max. So far I've wasted more than 200 of them, and there are still 50+ left...Am I doing something wrong???chinookmike

Sounds like you're fighting the wrong fighter cloud.

It's the 12-ish attacking the Traing Station that you need to wax, not the 200+ bumbling round the #cafe.

It also sounds like you havn't read the walkthrough, as you're flying the wrong ship class and at a guess, given that you're coming across the #cafe's fighters before the trading station, you're entering the sector the wrong way too.

haha the ones near the cafe dont even attack you! they spwan ontop of you!!!! looool messy!!
and also for those who are findingit hard using the unfocussed jumpdrive, you get a message saying 'jump drive unavailable' or summit like that, this means ur in the right sector!

XanII · Post by **XanII** » Fri, 28. May 10, 14:37

Done. Just like that i completed this one.

No ships spawning on top of you, no poltergeist spamming. Only knocked out 3xM5 ships and got the invite to land at the station. Even had som extra fun with a Xenon J in a unknown sector when warping around with the unfocused drive.

Hacking was nasty. Got the feeling i need to stab my eyes.

And did that boron scientist try to make a move on me by constantly calling me 'cuddly'

TM Zephyrus and the experminetal shuttle. No problem whatsoever. Not so much luck with the TM Caravel and Pirate Eclipse. Broke the game entirely.
