[TC] Mission Problem. Goner temple missions. 60 squash mines to pirate base

[farmerboy]

I have a problem with one of the Goner temple missions. I am trying to destroy the pirate base by returning to it with the 60 squash mines. I have them in my ships cargo but the dock manager won't give me permission to land and only tells me "Ive been on the weed again" to which I can only reply "erm"! I have tried every trick I know to solve this problem and have failed. Guessing I might need to get a special adapted squash mine or something but the guidance only points me to the pirate base. I have cargo life support as this is also a rescue mission as well as spare cargo space for any people. Any ideas?

Have you already dropped off the 35 units of weed?

If so you don't need permission to dock with the mines, just dock as normal.

Getting the squash mines themselves is also a proper business, as you'll need to supply the factories that make 'em yourself.

Have you commed the station, looked for a book symbol by one of the names? I had an appalling rep when I did this mission and had to keep comming the 'dock manager' or someone to get permission to land, not the regular permission to approach channel.

You can gather the Squash mines through trading. There's a few stations in lower Paranid space that sell them. Just a question of flitting back and forward while stocks replenish.

All the military outposts sell them so look there(not always in stock), theres 2 fabs in profit centre alpha, also split and paranid space is good for them

Edit bring the weed first or at the same time as the mines and they will let you dock after you comm them. Pirate rep is irrelevant for this mission you will be allowed to dock so long as you bring the weed

Thanks for the ideas. Mines themsleves are not a problem as I have all 60 in the hold most of which I made in my own fab. Wondering if I should be using a specific ship (Changed it from the one that bought the weed successfully) or if I should only have one ship in the sector or if I need to improve my ratings with the pirates somehow. The book symbol is on the station and when commed is with the docking manager but he wont let me dock!! Thought maybe I need to speak to a goner chap again somewhere. I have got the cargo lifesupport system for any rescue but is there another upgrade I need to complete the mission? I am probably missing something simple. Thanks for reading this...!

I had exactly the same problem with this mission. It seems a very rare bug because nobody could give me the solution. The only way I found was to hack the station from one who offered it in from a station in Maelstrom

[farmerboy]

thanks. sounds a good solution. Will try and let you know how I get on
