Plans and Machinations > Tangling with the Teladi Mission
1. Talk to: Maestro - completed
2. Fly to: MIN Phoenix Sentinel - completed
3. Attack: MIN Phoenix Sentinel (Can't complete this step)

I'm stuck on number three above of this mission. When I initially took on the mission in the early game and releazed that it was a Phoenix Sentinel that I thought I had to attack and possibly destroy I figured I didn't have enough firepower so I put off the mission until later (much later). Now I decided to get around to completing the mission and when I activated it in the Mission Manager I get the >Attack: MIN Phoenix Sentinal in my HUD but no directional indicator/guidance to the ship. I am in Eighteen Billion but the ship is nowhere to be found. I have a feeling it was possibly destroyed?? I am unable to trigger the mission to complete it at this point. I reloaded the game to current save and still the same. I talked to Maestro again to see if it would retrigger and he just says "Very Well. Plan Agreed!" but it doesn't change anything. I can't find the ship. Unfortunately for the Tech Support guys, I do have some Mods installed, but none of them have affected any other Mission. Even other missons that I put off as well and re-activated later. So although I cannot say it's NOT a mod, I don't believe it is since it hasn't affected other missions. I did search online and have seen others, maybe 3-4 others, with the same problem over the years and I can't seem to find a solution.

TLDR:
Reactivated this mission I put off for a while and now the ship (MIN Phoenix Sentinel) can't be found and the mission guidance isn't leading me to the ship. I think it may have been destroyed..?? Can't prgress with the mission.

Thank you,
JM

I hope you've already solved this problem, but if not, the solution turned out to be very simple, when talking to the Maestro, you just DO NOT NEED to SKIP the dialogue, listen to it completely, and after accepting the task, an attack on the Phoenix will appear.

I hope it has been worked around after a year and a couple of game versions. More recent related thread advice.
