Galactic Navy: Mission help [solved]

[maik]

Does someone have a complete walkthrough for the mission that is offered after completing 10 reserve sorties? For my taste there are not enough hints about what is expected from the player...

Hi Maik,
Yeah, I'm sort of on that mission too. Sort of because at the moment I seem stuck in Limbo.
I accepted the mission and headed off for Ririso in search of my quarry. I got waylaid a couple of planets before I got there by 'Headhunters', who I managed to see off eventually, but no sign of Admiral K at Ririso when I got there. From enquiries I made at the time it seems that the Headhunters are associated with the mission, but seemed to be a Red Herring.
As I understand it you just have to keep looking...Admiral K could be anywhere in Galaxy 6, and will still be there even if you leave. You could go through all the Galaxies and when you get back to 6 he'll still be there.

I'm currently just going about my normal business (trading/bounty hunting) and just hope that something will turn up.

Just a suggestion:- should you add a 'Possible Spoilers' warning to the Subject. As the poster you can edit this.
Happy hunting and good luck,
Smivs.

Edit:- Thanks for the reminder about rot13. Above post amended.

Hi Smivs,

thanks for that, I think I'm already somewhat further though.

To assemble a walkthrough, I recommend encoding the individual steps with rot13. That way people can take hints one step at a time.

Step 1:
V sbhaq Nqzveny Xhegm va gur flfgrz vaqvpngrq ol gur zvffvba oevrsvat: syl nebhaq gur cynarg gbjneqf vgf vagrefrpgvba jvgu gur fha, gura lbh'yy svaq Xhegm' syrrg, vapyhqvat gur Orurzbgu Aryyvr. jura lbh qbpx jvgu vg lbh rapbhagre Xhegm.

Step 2:

Guvf frrzf gb or gur raq bs gur fgbel, V qvqa'g lrg gel gb tb onpx gb uvf Orurzbgu. Vs lbh qrpyvar gb wbva uvz, lbh ner serr gb tb.

Arkg guvat V jvyy gel vf tbvat nyy gur jnl onpx gb jurer V erprvirq gur zvffvba oevrsvat.

Any pointers about how to go about from here are greatly appreciated. As I said, I'm a bit lost and I don't fancy searching the great big ol' ooniverse for a chance hint...

Step 2:
Nqzveny Xhegm nfxf lbh vs lbh jnag gb wbva uvz be yrnir ntnva. Vs lbh wbva uvz, lbh raq hc svaqvat bhg gung gur Anil jnf evtug nobhg uvz, yrnir uvf Orurzbgu naq orpbzr n shtvgvir evtug njnl.

Hi Maik,
On reading the above I went back and found what I was looking for...thanks.

Disappointing, but it was fun and I lived to tell the tale!

I just tried something else, also not successful:

I know there is a bug in neolite-megaships.oxp that cripples the behemots because it is overwriting behemoth files with different information than Galactic navy.oxp needs. I tested it in the pasts: the Nelie part is not working in combination with neolite-megaships.oxp.

Thanks, I quickly checked but I'm not using neolite-megaships. What I am using is

Alright, we can strike another option off the list:

V jrag onpx gb gur FrpPbz fgngvba jurer V erprvirq gur zvffvba gb cvpx hc Xhegm va ubcrf gung gurl jbhyq tvir zr n arj uvag. Ghearq bhg gurl qvqa'g.

So, what does that leave us with? Nothing for the moment. Except quite a bit of frustration from wasting time and no hint as to what to do next

I'll create a wiki page about this solution, that will be easier to find when this thread here gets old.

[Smivs]

Well done.

[maik]

Well done.

Thanks! Especially for your help when I was stuck

I just created the wiki page with the walkthrough.

Feel free to edit it with your own advice, e.g. alternate tactics!
