Joining the Voinians

Although I have reason to believe that the Voinian mission string is dreadfully less fun and dreadfully less interesting than the UE missions, I cannot find how to get the first mission... I know(or at least I think) that it has to start on Pax... but I'm not sure. I've only had it happen once or twice ever, and I always decline. A little help please?

If you have a strong ship just destroy a couple (a lot if needed) of UE destroyers and land on Pax or Dogover<sp>. 🙂

Well, they're always on Pax (I think) and they have a 50% chance of being got, so warp in a few times to get them...or get a cargo mission and abort it to reset the % chance. (My brother told me all that.) Good luck.

(edit): Arg! Ya beat me! Well, I forgot to say about killing U.E. destroyers...U.E. Fighters give you the same legal status change but not combat rating change...I think...

The Voinian mission string begins on Pax. I believe it is only available if you have not completed the United Earth mission to rescue the Voinian defector.

If you wish to play both sides, or at least leave your options open, take the Voinion
defector mission, and land on Pax to grab the defector. But, do not go back to the
Sol system to finish the mission. Cruise around and land back on Pax until you
get the start of the Voinian mission string. You can then do the whole string with
the defector in your bay. A little odd, though. A tweak to make this harder to do
might be to make the Voinian defector illegal cargo....

This last point is a good one which I hadn't thought of. Oh well, the UES Marx is long destroyed, and I am filthy rich with the extremely lucrative voinian cargo missions 😉

I dunno... I wonder what's next.
And, thanks, ppl.

The basic Voinian Mission string is indeed stunted, but if you add the 'Reign' plugins, life gets quite exciting. If you haven't tried ROTV, you shouldn't really gripe that Nova isn't out yet - you still have a lot of EV:O to see!

I agree with VA, ROTV feels like it is a part of EV:O. The mission are significantly harder than most in EV:O, however. You should be at the point where you can do most of them without trouble anyway. I got stuck a little ways into ROTV II, however, and gave up. When you need to find a new planet for the Voinian base, I know which one it is, but you can't land on it, and you need to land for that mission. I tried hacking it to no avail. Posted Image I have since given up. Ah well.

Sorry to interupt your topic, but how do you use plug-ins? I know it is n00bish but please help me!

Actually it does not matter what you kill to the Voinians. It only
matters what missions for the UE that you have done. Kill a couple of Voinian frigates
to get your rating high and then go to pax and get the mission.

UE rules, Voinians drool!!!!!!! Long live the UE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

shovels away some spam Bahamut, you take the plugins and put them in the folder labeled "Plugins" in the same folder as EV:O. If it's a total conversion plug, start a new pilot in the game, or, if not, just hop into the game and find out what you put in! 😄
