[TC] Treasure Hunt Walkthrough

[jrasta]

Bleah. I would have rather had the albatross than an okay M3 that 1) I'm not going to use in combat, and 2) can't RE.

I would have rather had the albatross

Then go and buy one. In the same time you played the plot you should have been able to earn enough money to buy an Albatros or board one.

[Carlo the Curious]

One little question to you both: why did you play this plot, if you don't like it and could only complete it with the help of a walkthrough? I mean there are easier ways to get the reward using a cheat script, or the "create ship"-Command of the SE for example.

To get the reward without a modified tag?

To get the reward without a modified tag?

Well sadly enough there is no way to check if you looked the solutions up or not, but using a walkthrough gives your game a moral "modified".

The Treasure Hunt is not about the reward per se, as the Chinese would say: The path is the goal. If one can't/won't understand that then its their loss IMO, specially since there are no time or other limits which force to solve anything in given time, so all you need is to use your grey mass and put it to some use. Looking up information, like on internet or forum (not solutions) is THINK too, but if all you want is to have a "completed"-Tag, then go ahead an ruin all the bit of fun their is.

Anyone should do what they feel is best for them, I just say don't give up the first time you're stuck you will be greatly rewarded with a great feeling of achievement.

I guess I'm just stupid but I NEVER was able to find any "Hints." Where do they show up? I checked my message log and other than the conversation with the Yaki female, and the statement that a "Hint" was found, there was no further guidance. I used the walkthrough because of this reason.

[Ketraar]

Check your missions briefing. My Missions -> Select Treasure Hunt -> show Briefing.

Well,as I stated elsewhere, I am useless at cryptic crosswords and the like.

But I am playing the community game where each player gets up to three days to add to the universe.The project is going well,but we really need more players.

Anyways, one of the players did the Treasure Hunt and left the Shuttle for us to try out.Which of course I did,briefly.
I like the ship and decided to follow the walk-through.If it had not been for the community game,I would not have bothered.

But even with the walk-through,I did read the clues and tried to work them out,but was usually up to three sectors out each time.So it still was not easy.
I had to destroy three Qs and a Xenon shipyard before I could get near the wreck.And it's not a one-ship-fits-all type of mission.I used at least three different ships from start to finish.

IM stuck on hint 2 i cannot find it at all ;

[leddmirage]

i can't find the ship debris in Xenon 101.. can someone help me out? it's not at the mentioned coordinates..

[Fragile Ego]

Just a little note for those complaining about the Albatross disappearing. It only does so (or did in my game at least) when you dock at the shipyard to deliver the crew. So you could just NOT complete the mission and have full use of the Albatross (I don't know if there's a timer for it to eventually disappear though). Or you can sell it before it disappears, which is what I did.

[leddmirage]

the ship debris in xenon 101 is Albatross?? the coordinate(finding the ship) on page 1 doesn't show anything in my game..

[Fragile Ego]

leddmirage, the debris in X101 should be of a Colossus (per the original message for the plot) and that is what it looked like to me. But of course it doesn't say so, it's just "Ship Debris".

[leddmirage]

FE,
i can't find that specific "ship debris" at the given location mention in the beginning of this thread.. is it due to some clashes with the scripts?
i've mars, codea(TSship removed), mefos, prospector, CLS, CAG, cheat package, marine trainer, move to cord, marine repair, satelite warning, mosquito def, UTprofit, installed.
i tried reinstalling the game and tried with vanilla, still no go.

[Fragile Ego]

LM, come to think of it I don't know if it was at those exact coordinates. When I got close the debris showed up on the gravidar (debris doesn't show up on the sector map) and I just moved toward it.

[leddmirage]

i finally figured out what went wrong with my game... i did not complete terran plot hence i was not able to find the ship wreck.. kinda weird..

No way these two events are related. TH is completely independent of ANY other plot.

[leddmirage]

this is what i did..
1) reloaded savegame before i start the treasure hunt because my TH don't work(shipwreck missing)
2) complete the aldrin 2 missions..
3) redo the treasure hunt.. the ship wreck is there at the exact spot

[mevko]

Ok this might sound a bit dumb but how do i remove the spoiler signs in this walkthrough.

[imperium3]

Drag-select with the mouse and you can see through them.

[kelmen]

the last coor in Xenon 101 doesnt worked for me.

but i managed to find the thing....
once I rejumped to the north gate, just full speed foward, dont bother to steer, except to avoid roid, use the strafe move. since straight coming out from the north gate make you facing the southward exactly.

and not even pass the middle of the sector, i got this suddenly "scanning" voice out.... then the quest continue.

noted that I run Improved Race mod/script, which create/spawn race (include Xenon) base in each sector, I mentioned this because the impact the script is changing compare to vanila game.
