Here I will write hints on how to solve certain plot elements. Please
note that this is not the complete solution. The hints below are
ordered in plot order. The different "events" of the plot is divided
by a newline.
Please only use these tips if you are stuck! Following a
walk-through or even the short plot outline on this page will make the
game shorter and spoil your fun (unless you like to cheat of
course). I personally got stuck once or twice since I didn't
understand what I supposed to do after viewing some of the video
messages.
- To start the plot, target the subject in the email entitled *Cover
Up* and fly to that location. This is mainly a "witness" event, so you
don't have to do anything but to fly there.
- The item to destroy in the Port area is no the ones of "Unknown
Origin".
- The item is located near Mass driver (target subject in the "Decoy
required" message).
- If you have a level three radar, you will see the mass driver part
on the radar as a white object.
- You can avoid killing the Lazarus ships in the Port mission by
simply flying past them.
- When the mass driver part is destroyed, your energy will be
drained quickly. Same thing happens with the Lazarus ships. Leave as
fast as you can.
- A Klamp-G transport will arrive to pick up the unknown items and
you will receive your reward.
- About this time you should receive a garbled transmission. Keep
this one and all other ones, since you will get an opportunity to
decode them later.
- For a while there will be no more interactive events. There will be
numerous sightings of unknown ships around the city.
- Eventually you will receive an email entitled "Important
Mission".
- Equipped with a cargo pod and a drone, follow the instructions in
the email. A level three radar helps here as well.
- When done, go to Psycho Bob 1 (NE Downtown, use Navigation ->
Local Services).
- Find the secret bases in the Reservoir and Riverside craters.
- The package you picked up earlier is a radar cloak. Find below 100
feet (the box around the radar will be blinking red) to avoid
detection. Visible detection is still possible.
- The Lazarus base is around the island.
- The Klamp-G base is in the western part of Riverside.
- You need to target both bases with the "T" key to proceed.
- It might be a good idea to lock the two bases in your navigation
computer.
- The research facility is in the tunnel from Downtown to the
Port crater.
- The gang ships will be leaving it with the needed materials.
- To remain neutral you should be able to buy the material in for
example Alpha Trade Center.
- You only need one of each.
- You only need one item from one of the bases.
- If your bomb misses, get more from Psycho Bob 1.
- The deflector will give you a fusion cell for helping him. If your
ship already has one, you won't get anything (thus it's better to wait
to buy one).
- Destroy convoys leaving the Research Facility.
- It's better to destroy them in the Downtown <-> Port tunnel than
anywhere else.
- Follow instructions you get from Bob's apprentice. They are
very straightforward and doesn't need any explanation.
- Don't enter the port area after the first occasion. It will most
likely kill you.
- If you haven't got a fusion cell by now you need to get one.
- Go to the prison mentioned in a video message. You might be
attacked.
- Go to the Lazarus Hightower and get the garbled messages
translated.
- The tower is in south-eastern Downtown.
- The needed moth is in Syd's workshop.
- If you can't find the workshop, take a cab.
- Target the sender of one of the newly translated messages. Go
there and dock.
- After stealing the moth, everyone will attack you. You are
completely unarmed. Fly as fast as you can to the correct location.
- If you feel like having some fun, enter the Port crater and turn
around looking at the entrance. After a while lots of ships should
start to arrive. They will die quickly after entering (faster than
they can leave). If they shoot at you, move in some more.
That's it. These tips are based on the Walk-through by Phil Eckford,
which is also available on this site. I have also added my some of own
tips and ideas.
