Finding Supernovas
Posted: Sun Feb 26, 2012 11:48 pm
Gentleman,
I am a keen player of Oolite for the PC but recently purchased Elite v2 for the Amiga!
Ive completed the first 2 missions (Constrictor and Thargoid Documents), and have jumped to Galaxy 4 where I am now trying to find the SuperNova mission.
I have 460,000 elite points.
My rating is Dangerous.
I have 15 days of gameplay.
I have the Naval energy unit .
I have completed approximately 40 jumps since entering Galaxy Number 4.
I have read the German Keilis scan translation, which seems to be incorrect for the Amiga version.
Can anyone who has played the Amiga Elite Version 2 help me to find this mission!!
Most of the other guides for the different platforms suggest that missions are triggered by certain variables, and combinations:
- Number of jumps
- Occupying a certain any given Galaxy.
- Number of Elite points/Kills
- Jumping to a specific planet
Keilis scan suggests that:
3. Mission: Save a station crew from a supernova
You cannot get this mission at a station. The player has to look for it himself.
Look for your Elite Score. Around 270000 points, you should lookout for mission 3. Look on the local star chart for a star that is going to become a Supernova soon. Find and fly to it. The message "Fuel leak" will appear. Fly to the sun and scope up fuel.
Now fly to the station and pick up the people there. Launch and immediately jump to a target system. The sun will go supernova in 15 seconds so you have to be fast. At successful docking somewhere else you'll get a reward of 1kg of gem stones. NOTE: Normally you buy those in gram quantities
Can someone please help, i'm getting elite-itis!

In systems with a very small sun, it is still possible to scoop fuel at the sun before going to the main station and so have a way to stay in the galaxy.
