Help me please.

I got this mission when I landed on New Chicago in the Thoso system. It is the Stellar Corp. recruitment mission. I have to go to Molos and pick up 10 tons of something, then take it to First Centauri. I keep failing this mission because the time limit runs out, I don't fool around, it takes me 3 jumps to get from Thoso to Molos, then 4 to get to FS, but I ALWAYS fail, just as I enter the Centauri system - help! Am I missing something?

The ship that you fly in could be the problem. For that mission, you need a ship with 1-day jump time. This includes Aradas, Shuttles, Scoutships, etc (small ships). So, right now, if you have a big ship with >1 day jump time, you have a few options....

1. buy a smaller ship with a 1 day jump time (I wouldn't suggest it, especially if you have a good ship right now).
2. Forget the whole mission....
3. There are some cheat plugs that make all ships jump in 1 day. (I also wouldn't suggest it.... cheating isn't cool)

Peace.

Is being a member of Stellar Corp. really that great? I'm already getting lots of missions from Frontier Express and UE guys sending me to outposts, I just thought more missions couldn't hurt. I think I was supposed to have taken that mission when I was starting out, and had a tiny Shuttle or Scoutship. What kind of pay do you get for Stellar Corp. jobs? Are they all rush deliveries like the recruitment mission?

SC missions pay 10,000 credits for a regular job, 25,000 for a rush job, and 30,000 or so for a freight delivery (lots of cargo, no time limit). All missions are available only on ue mission computers and run only to ue systems- not even the ue frontier. These are great missions if you want something safe, fairly well-paying for early stages in the game, and don't take a long time to complete.

Yeah... the stellar corp missions should be done early in the game, when you're saving up cash to buy a bigger and better ship.

I failed that mission several times in my Freight Courier, I just gave up and never did the mission.

I've never done anything for St. Corp. or Ftr. Exp. But I've done that first Igadzra mission where you hafta ship the cargo, and I failed it the first few times due to running outta time. I suggest you buy something like an Arada, which has moderate cargo space to start with, and then hire a Miranu H. Freighter as an escort. That way you have 540 tons of space and your jump time is one day. Or you could buy a Scoutship or stick with shuttlecraft and hire say a Freighter escort. Though you don't have nearly as much space, it should still be enough to get the job done. 🙂

If you knew my precise record on my game you'd think I'm an Azdgari, but I'm not. Just the commander of a small mercenary fleet that favors the Azdgari. Ships include: 3 Aradas including my own, 2 CW's, and 2 Laziras.
