Restart Final Fury???

[maxrsp]

Can anyone provide advice on how to restart the Final Fury mission?

I seemed to be in a mission loop defending the station in the Khaak sector, escorting the ships through the unknown sector, and defending sector M148... I was successfully completing these sub-missions but I kept having to do them over again in a cycle.

Because of this, and the fact I saw alot of other folks having problems with Final Fury I just stopped playing it. After a few days (real time) I got a message that the mission failed.

Interestingly, in my pilot status it still shows Final Fury status of Lieutenant and 16% complete (it cycled past 100% at least once and used to say 2nd Lieutenant)

I would like to retry this mission but the Exterminator is no longer in Omicron Lyrea and the guy is no longer calling me back to the M148 station...

Thanks.

i too am having this issue with opperation final fury. i took the mission from the hip guy called exterminator, hes in omicron lyrea or somthing named similar he took me to a zone a few sectors away to 'squash bugs' and he told me to turn thiem into in cans. well i couldnt cus i only has a little ship and tiny guns and got pwned each time.

so i hung around the sector doing odds and ends like picking up cargo and trading what i found, hoping the sector police would finish the job. eventually i got bored and just left and he sent me a message saying 'oh, youve left, ill see you around'

well i havent seen him around, in any part of omicro lyrea or anyother place's. i think the quest is bugged, i wouldnt mention it but i think its a important fun part of the game, i might be wrong though.

I have the same missionloop at the moment, and i started all over again from scratch with patch 1.3, so im sure its a bug ...

Depending on exactly which 'loop' you're referring to, that might be normal.

"Fighting the Kha'ak" is a series of missions in the unknown sector and the kha'ak sectors you need to do before it proceeds to the next scene - I'm not sure if it triggers on mission rank or number of missions, but iirc it was 2nd Lt & about 20 missions for me.

However, none of them are in M148 except the last one, as far as I remember.

There were some issues reported with the "Defend M148" mission, not sure if they're fixed in 1.3.

Part of that mission chain is a rather long skimish section of either protect convoy or destroy Kha'ak in their sector missions which will repeat many times.

As Carlo pointed out this is intended and the only way to raise your rank to a level that triggers the final part.

Now get back to work and kill some Kha'ak

ok tnx for the reply that kind of clear's that issue up for me.

i was cruising through the unknown sector today and after i went through it i got the same message about turung the bugs into tin can's. i will go back to the unknown secotor to move onto the next part of the mission.

tnx again for the help.

My particular problem is that I seem to have been kicked-out of the mission and it is no longer in my mission list in the menus.

I've since gone back to both Khaak sectors (841&926) and cleared them out (including the Khaak stations); I've also gone back to M148 and the unknown sector above M148... nothing I do triggers continuation of the mission

BTW, the last thing I did before the last loop cycle restarted was successfully defend sector M148. I was then told to defend another convoy...

It seems strange that a plot mission would time-out or fail-out, but like I said, it isn't in the mission list and that guy isn't sending me messages of what to do next anymore. It's almost like I completed it except it is still in the player info as 16% done and I never got the fancy "Completed" banner on the screen.

Any advice / suggestions on how to trigger back into the mission would be appreciated. Thanks!

If the mission is not listed in your mission log then either you did the mission already or you've failed it.

There is a rather long break between the skimish and the final part. Also you must not be in M148 to be able to receive the call for the final part.

Thanks euclid. Would you be able to venture a guess at the length of time (game hours) which comprises the "long break" you mentioned? I'm sure I've player 6 or 8 hours since.

Also, does anyone know if there is a minimum combat rank or other prerequisit to the final part of the mission.

When I logically line up the symptoms here (and don't jump to a bug conclusion) I'm getting the same two possibilities (mission complete or mission failed) plus one (mission still in-progress but between sub-missions).

I know I didn't complete the whole thing because its still listed in the pilot status and I never got the full screen mission complete banner like I did with the other main plot missions.

On the other hand, if I did fail the overall mission, why is it still listed in player status as 16% complete?

Therefore I can only assume I'm stuck in between sub-missions; unfortunately I have no idea what I need to do next...

On the other hand, if I did fail the overall mission, why is it still listed in player status as 16% complete?

There is no '16% complete'.

If you're referring to your OFF rank, that just means you have enough rep to be 16% in to that 'tier' - it doesn't have any particular significance.

[maxrsp]

Sorry if I was confusing the issue with the wrong terminology, but the 16% does appear to be directly related to Final Fury, though perhaps not indicating percent complete...

In the Titles section of my pilot status screen (right below my race rankings) there is a seperate line:

Operation Final Fury - Lieutenant 16%

I'm thinking if the mission was complete or I hard failed it, this line wouldn't be there...

[Spgsamuel]

a restart quest option would really make this easier

- edit -
on all quests acctually

Sorry if I was confusing the issue with the wrong terminology, but the 16% does appear to be directly related to Final Fury, though perhaps not indicating percent complete...

It's just a rank, similar to race ranks. You can x points of rep (translated to a percentage into a named rank) for each OFF mission you complete.

I'm thinking if the mission was complete or I hard failed it, this line wouldn't be there...

No.

If your OFF rank is above 0 you'll always have a line that shows your rank, regardless of the status of any particular mission (or the whole storyline).
