What is the easiest way to get through the blockade with a Scoutship.
I am having problems. 😢

The easiest way to sneak anywhere is with a cloaking device, which you can get anywhere there is outfitting in the Voinians plug.

Forget the Arada or any kind of freighter. Download the Voinian plug from the add-ons page and pilot all kinds of cool ships: Millenium Falcon, Super Star Destroyer, USS Enterprise-D, several Babylon 5 ships, even an indestructible escape pod wherein you can max out all weaponry. The Voinian plug has the maximum 64 ship classes allowed.

Now download the Voinians plug and pilot a REAL ship.

Hmm... someone is obviously following EVula's whole 'self promoting' thing.

I dunno about the Arada at all. I have NEVER used it. I've ALWAYS used the Freight-Courier. I dunno why, but that's me. And don't question someone who has legitimately destroyed the Dreadnought in a F-C.

"Self-promoting?" What is "self-promoting" about endorsing my favorite plug?

Oh, you ASSUME I created the Voinian plug? Interesting.

Actually, no.

If you have read the Read Me file accompanying the Voinian plug, you would have seen that the unnamed author does not take credit for the plug and gratefully acknowledges several other plugs that were used in Voinians. In fact, the EVO plug designing community as a whole had a hand in creating Voinians. Therefore, if you condemn Voinians you are in fact condemning the whole EVO plugmaker community.

Besides, I have better things to do than to design plugs, such as drinking Saalian brandy while shooting up with Substance E and contemplating the metaphysics of Existentialist philosophy (unless I am reading Noam Chomsky or browsing at (url="http://"http://www.zmag.org)")www.zmag.org)(/url). But when I do play EVO, I play it with the Voinian plug found at (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/games/evo/addons.html")http://www.AmbrosiaS...evo/addons.html(/url)

Check the shipyard stats. The transporter is faster than the scoutship, and more durable too. Given the choice, I would rescue the Voinian defector in the cheaper transporter every time!

(list=a)
() Trade it for a UE transporter.
(
) Accept the mission.
() Drop into Pax space, and head away from the station.
(
) Leave any UE and Voinian ships in the system to slug it out.
() The Voinians come after you, but are too slow to catch up. Leave them way behind, and watch out for occasional rockets.
(
) After a minute or two, all hostile ships will have been drawn away from the space station.
() Go through the landing preliminaries, such that the station is targeted, and you have permission to approach. Note the way to the space station, shown as an arrow on radar.
(
) Don't fly straight there. Fly in a wide arc, bypassing all enemies.
(*) Land at the station before they manage to turn back and intercept you.

My advice is to stick with the Miranu Courier and well-paid rush delivery missions until you can buy a Lazira. If you're lucky and daring enough, you can try to approach a battle-damaged Renegade Lazira and finish it off with a salvo of defense pods.

The Lazira is beautifully fast and light, yet heavily armed. You should be able to start the the risky spaceport bar missions pretty easily now.

Thank you all for your help. I finnaly managed to get through the blockade and have almost finished the Parreen Station, but i can not find the last mission. Should I goto the Cresent aea or start the renegade missions, or keep trading untill i can buy a better ship. I have a upgraed scoutship and 500,000 credits. Should i buy a better ship( freight corier) and then go to the cresent area or idmeddatly go there.
Thank you very much 🙂

SO any anwsers?
I have 900 thousand credits now refer to my above post for my question :).

I'd recommend going into Miranu space, their technology is just so much better. And if you don't want to start the combattant missions right away, your best choice for a blockade runner would be the Miranu Windrider. You are using the Advance Plug-in, right? 😉

Check out my realistically balanced mini-plug (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/cgi-bin/vftp/dl-redirect.pl/advance.sit.hqx?path=evo/plugins&file;=advance.sit.hqx") Advance 1.1 (/url)...
Or test the most recent beta-version (url="http://"http://catharsis.netpeople.ch/advance/advance1.2.sit.hqx") Advance 1.2 (/url)!

I sure will, I am not into the mega change kind of plug. I like yours the :advance".
Thanks for your help.

I would go with the arada. I mean, If you get a Igadzra Arada, and get the shield upgrades, you have a ship with the same shields as a freight courier. Also, I found the 300 speed of arada so much more useful than the 175 of the freight-courier.

------------------
do I pilot a UE destroyer? certainly not!

Thank you all for your help. I went with the fc and I found it to be the right choice I now have a U.E. Destroyer and have recently found the emlanga and landed any tips on what I should do now?

Yeah, a word of advice to any newbies to EVO, DON'T play with an Arada unless you plan to have your primary long-term job to be a pirate-trasher...FC's are a lot better. Plus, my theory is that since my current pilot's souped-up Crescent warship et al can vaporize an Arada in two seconds, and an FC takes about five.... Plus, Fc's can go farther and hold more.

As far as the other question here... about the Emalgha, at that point where you have a UE destroyer, I would personally go around and trash the North Tip pirate fleet, Zachit missions, etc. The other UE missions are always, er, fun, too. And a UE Carrier would likely be the next good investment. After this, though, perhaps do a bit with the Strands... (Zidagar, Igadzra, Azdgari)

Well, I assume that by Anna O you mean Anna Balashova. Start looking at Freeport in the Riomor system. And for a decent guide to ships, look at the EVO Ship Guide available in the EVO section of the ambrosia website under addons. Or just click (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/cgi-bin/vftp/dl-redirect.pl/EVO Ship Guide.sit.bin?path=evo/guides&file;=EVO Ship Guide.sit.bin")here.(/url) It might help you avoid more lemons like the UE Carrier. And it's an entertaining read, as well.
