I've been at Ionics for ages and am now down to 2 government ships left but no matter how many times I dock with the link or the corolis, jump to another system and back again, or just hang around outside the station I can't find em.
I found that if you just hyperspeed between the station and the Link Base, you eventually come across them. They may well be WFI'ing so it maybe that as you're going one way, they've injected out somewhere else. It's a bit of an @r$£, but I managed to do it.
Thats what happened with me for all the rest but I've been running around for hours between the link base and station and these last 2 just won't show up.
Are you running the version of the OXP from Oosat1? I've a feeling not being able to get the last couple of ships was a bug the author fixed in the updated version that he put on Oosat2 (but got lost in the October crash).
I've put a link the the version I download from Oosat2 before it crashed. Try this one:-
OXPS : The Assassins Guild, Asteroid Storm, The Bank of the Black Monks, Random Hits, The Galactic Almanac, Renegade Pirates can be downloaded from the Elite Wiki here.
If I download the new version do I lose all my progress?
Shouldn't do, save a copy of your original savefile (Jameson1, Jameson2) and try using the Oosat2 version. If it goes ti-sorry- wrong, then revert to the original version and savefile. But there shouldn't be any losses, since the variables are the same.
