Ionics problem (spoilers)

Post by dalek501 »

I have Ionics version 1.2.1 and may be having a problem with it. I am at the second part of the mission (after the first package part). When arriving back at Zaria I an faced with a load of ships some of which fire at me but have a status of clean. If I kill these with the police around I get attacked myself by the police.

Is that right? There doesn't seem to be any clear indication of exactly what I'm supposed to be killing at this point. I can see one big flattish ship and some others marked RLF I think. But they seem to float about not doing much at all!

You are fighting with the Rebels against a govenment which (although brutal) is recognised by GalCorp as the lawful local govenment, so picking up some offender tags may be necessary in the cause. Robin Hood and the Sheriff's men if you like. :wink:

When you get back to the link base, they will fuel up your ship, give you missiles, and clear your legal status, all for free. Good deal.

OK I think I see!

And having played it a bit more since my post... is there any tactic against the other ships just ramming me to death?! If I run away I don't seem to be involved and when I get back the big flat ship has gone.

Well, I have given it some more time, and I have managed to complete the bit I was stuck on and now the next bit! Thanks for the advice.
