Constrictor Hunt

Post by Equilib28 »

Hi guys. I'm new to this board.
Love the game. Played it back in the late 80's, but never came across this mission.
I made a few jumps and ended up by Reesdice where it was last seen, not stopping at Xeer, where it was stolen from. After that I went to Xeer but haven't found anything. What's the strategy? Where should I look for it?
Should I attack it right away etc...
Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance.

If I recall correctly, this is the one that involves a special ship containing some special cargo, which attacks you at some stage.

Oh yes, I was thinking of another mission. Where's my head at :roll:

Hi Equilib28 and welcome.

There's plenty of clues on this board, if you go back a bit.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

I'm circling around the area.
No messages once I dock anywhere.
Should I go back to where I was assigned this mission?
