Newbie help :P

Post by Silver-star »

Heya, just got this game a week ago, and can't figure out how to complete the 3rd mission, looked everywhere. Would like to know where about the panel is, incase I am blind as a bat! :lol:

I can't seem to get the script editor to work either, did Shift-T and typed 'Thereshallbewings'. The only thing that happens is that the ship goes ape S@#$. Must have typed it 50 times at least, still it wouldn't work!! :evil:

Could anyone help :?

Here is a link to a website that has all the information you should need to complete any mission and also has stats by navigaing from the top...

http://www.the-commander.com/x2overview.htm

...If you are actually in Brennan's Triumph then you need to scan each NACELLE (NOT GATE) within 45Km, avoid the mines by detonating with waps missiles (4 should do the job)...
:D

I'm afraid I don't know enough about scripting to help you with that one, sorry... :oops:

Hope it helps.. :)

SCAN?!?!?!?! HOW?? the manual says nothing!! Just says for target info, press I! I have been out in the space suit for about 3 hours looking for the panel!

Have you done the mission?

after getting rid of the mines fly towards the narcell then eject out of the ship "shift E" and space walk over to the narcell. have it targeted and when you get within about 50 meters it should report back if your found anything or not... if not try the other narcell.

HTH.

I've looked at both nacelles. Witch nacelle did you find the panel on??? The one farthest from the gate you came from, or the closest one??

I have done this mission, the way I did it was to take out the mines with wasp missiles, I then got up close and got out for a little 'space walk' I used the T key to target a nacelle and flew within 45km of the center of the nacelle, i got a cut scene which said scanning and said failed so i flew slowly to the other nacelle and repeated and this time the cut scene said sucessful and the story continued... I don't think it matters which nacelle you target first. :!:
