X3TC Hub Mission....HELP!!!

[Suggie]

Help!!! I'm on the X3TC Hub Mission, and I've been directed to find Mahi Ma in Zyarths Domain. When I get there, the mission guidance sends me to one of my own ships - an Enhanced Dolphin. Call me perceptive, but I think I may have capped old Mahi Ma's ship at some point earlier in the game!! Anyhow, there's no sign of him anywhere. I've tried destroying the ship, in the vain hope Mahi might magically appear somewhere else, but the damn ship is indestructable....................Suggestions would be appreciated...........

Which version of the game are you playing? Are you running any scripts or mods?

That's his ship. How did you capture it? Since it's indestructable, you can't get the hull below 93%, supposedly, and hence can't normally make it bail. And being a TS, I don't think you can board it, either. So did you get it via some enhanced bailing script?

... that'd be odd, mine was destroyed while i was IS doing a patrol mission. i had it collecting wares as they dropped ( thinking it could not be destroyed ) .. and presto! splash 1 enhanced dolphin.

Is there a possible trick to keeping it invincible? maybe not applying shields??

You can get out and just claim it... well at least you could in an earlier version of the game (I think I claimed it in 1.4)... as for it being indestructable when owned by the player, I thought that was fixed in one of the patches (1.4, I think).

Q1) What point on "The Hub" mission are you at? (Please reply using spoiler tags as we are not in the spoilers forum for TC)

Q2) What version did you start the game in?

Q3) Have you got any scripts/mods running?

Depends whether he's saying that he claimed it during the hub plot, at the point where it is left empty (in which case, the mission guidance shouldn't be pointing to the dolphin at all) or whether he's saying he claimed it prior to that, which shouldn't be possible in a vanilla game.

well in 2.1 the Enhanced Dolphin is no longer indestructable because I am running a Vanilla game, and every Boron sector before I started the Hub plot, he was there asking me for my help.

And each time when I was not ready to start it, I was able to destroy the Enhanced Dolphin with a single Spectre missile from the Springblossom.

Of course, he would pop up again later, but I was able to destroy the ship, so it is possible that it may also be capturable as well before you begin the Hub plot.
