just fly around, eventually you'll meet them. Can take quite a while though, it's a random chance.

Are they markes or shown as offenders, or do I just blow up every military ship I see. I haven't seen any yet?? :?

the mark is 'offender' or even fugitive (forgotten the details) Don't go shooting the 'good' military vessels, they're your allies!

And yes, it can take ungodly long before you glimpse the first one...

Whoops :twisted:

Think I bagged me a good guy.

Cheers
for the help I'll keep an eye out for the real target, question is what to do in the mean time?

just do whatever you used to do (but I believe you have to stay legally clean..)

Military is like a "feature" of the Ooniverse once it starts (runs in all Galaxies), so you can do other missions whilst its running.

When you press F7 while docked you may get a hint.

I just managed to kill the Leviathan but then had to leave quickly before its escorts came back. I docked in a station but got no progress report. Is that OK?

Did you kill the right Leviathan. The most you see are military, only later in the game you meet the stolen one you must shoot, if I remember right.

I honestly don't know. The Leviathan was marked as Military Vessel without any legal status. It was accompanied by about 30 pirate ships of various types, said ships immediatelly attacking me when they appeared on my radar. I assumed it is the rogue Leviathan and started shooting it out. I destroyed the escorts, then managed to kill the Leviathan - but it managed to spawn about ten of those 4-lasered ships so I had to run away. My legal status remained Clean throughout.

If you didn't recieve an update from the military about the now destroyed levaithan it's probably not the one you need to destroy. Clean status - now thats a new one on me..... You should recognise the levaithan you need to destroy instantly!

Do I have to stay in the same galaxy until I finish the mission? It seems the Ionics missions are complete for me, so I'd like to go explore other galaxies now...

No.Military can be completed in any Galaxy. As it takes a while before the random chances for meeting all the ships hits, you can play other missions and just get on with your ordinary Oolite buisness, just taking out the stolen Military ships as and when you meet them. Make sure you use the updated version of Militray from the Wiki though. The old version of Military (from Oosat2) can clash with other missions. It'll take ages for you to get all the stolen ships, so just sort of foget about it, killing them as you see them and get on with other stuff.
