Trident Down Question

[DaveG]

I seem to have stalled! I've done the radio controlled bomb job, and headed back for a debrief, however nothing seems to happen. I understand the clues get less, however I've docked at the main station, the transit station, and popped over to the neighbouring planet as well! Have I missed something? My saved game refers to a jumpcount - is this relevent? do I have to wait for a certain period of 'time'?

Or is there something else for me to dock with that I missed? I don't recall seeing the big ISS (I think) ship, but I may have missed it!

cheers!

Trident Down is a mission which has multiple different choices and paths, which will lead to different events. As a result, people can have rather different experiences, which is great from a playability point of view, but slightly more awkward to debug.

If you post all Trident Down mission variables from your saved game here, I can have a look through the code and try to find out where exactly you are and what it wants you to do.

Here they are! I was trying to be discrete with my progress!

Code: Select all

	<key>mission_trident_down</key>
	<string>BODARENKOEDEBRIEFA</string>
	<key>mission_trident_down_jumpcount</key>
	<string>82</string>
	<key>mission_trident_down_planetinfo</key>
	<string>SET</string>

	<key>trident_down</key>
	<string>Return to Raceedat for debriefing.</string>

This is everything that matches 'trident' when I did a search - if there are any other variables, I've missed them!

This all fits with my expected progress - I've done the Bodarenko job, and I've returned to Raceedat. I've since meandered off to Bien and come back again. I've docked with the new space station, and the old transit station, and I can't spot the large ship in the system. I even purchased planetary landing capability, to see if I was supposed to be debriefed on the planet!

Any clues?! I'm enjoying this OXP a lot, so I'd really like to get to the end!

Here they are! I was trying to be discrete with my progress!

Code: Select all

	<key>mission_trident_down</key>
	<string>BODARENKOEDEBRIEFA</string>

Try changing this to

Code: Select all

	<key>mission_trident_down</key>
	<string>BODARENKODEBRIEFA</string>

and then return to Raceedat. It looks like an extra 'E' has slipped in at some point.

[DaveG]

that did it! cheers! Nice little money earner, and I don't appear to be finished yet!

Glad someone could help you! 'Tis a fun little mission of Ramirez's! When I played through it one Christmas I went though and debugged the path that I chose, and I'm guessing you're taking a different line to me. It would be interesting for me to play the mission again and take a different approach. Maybe when I reach Galaxy 4 in my new commander...
