But those 30 turbolaser turrets can keep most anything from getting close enough to do much damage. Each shot is about as strong as a neutron round.
Missles absolutely murder the thing...

I finally caught one....YEAH!!(with a Polaris Destroyer!After capturing I had to hurry up Ā“course of !my! attack fighters).Succesfully landed I looked on the weaponry and :eek:! these desintegrators knocks even a commandship with one single shot off!
well,now a couple of questions: how could I get these nova blasters?, does The Creator really carry 100M credits?,
Finally,after years of landing,starting,landing...I found the wrecked Bird if Prey,went to Polaris and changed the missions offered in the bar(accepting&aborting; freight missions),until I got the Proxima one.Now several years are gone again,but I havenĀ“t found Oilbart Ā“till now.I would be very pleased if someone could give me a hint.
I know, my grammar;

Dispose of the pirates, and go to Proxima - in the upper right hand section of the map, in the "crescent."
I'm in the Talaria system, but I can't find the Bird of Prey? Is it in the Andwafa system and you have to keep jumping there, or is it in the Talaria system? Oh, thanks eveyone for helping me get out of the alien system.

Alright, scratch that last post. I now need to know where this Oilbeard character is. I've done enough of these 'search the galaxy' missions to know that it can get real old real quick.
Go to the bottom right corner of the map. (non-polaris space)

Found him! Thank you.
But these suspicious Proximans donĀ“t let me buy government forces-equal vessels;their own ships are slightly superior to my one.(in weapon array and maneuverability)
but,again,on behalf of the Magdeburgers and my crew,my sincereliest thanks.
err,what about my other questions?
Alright, I found Oilbeard too. Thanks for eveyone's help. Now I have to wonder: are there any more Proxima missions? I really want that cloaking devise. I think that it is cheap that they don't let you have it. Of course, that also means that they aren't dumb by giving you their only protoype like the rebels. I also wonder: what are (list=a) () Positron Torpedo Bays () Pulse Phasers () Flux Disruptors () Plasma Torpedo Bays (/list=a) I think that flux disruptors are the green bolts that Battlecruisers shoot out the front. I also remember a beam weapon. Is that the pulse phasers? Why does this ship have 200 fuel units? Do any of it's weapons use fuel? I also have some other game questions: How do I get the mission set for the "Black Lightning"? I have done lots of Polaris missions, even the one where they get mad at me for killing their prototype Wraith. What do I get for killing the Alien Maurauder for the Orion Union? I have tried to kill it, but I can't, so I need the "Black Lightning". I just wanted to know if I will get 50 million credits or something like that. Why do the Rebels only give me the mission to kill an enemy ship? I never got the mission set starting mission. I want the cloaking devise!

Uh, I'm behind you. How do I get the Polaris missions?I'm offered a resuce ships mission, but that's it. I have a Fair rating, Polaris turret enhanced Argosy (yah!). Are you able to take sides in the Lavor Thetha system (mission string?). Does Farpoint Outpost do anything? (Don't answer that!) I took the Reb recrutement mission... --------- macmaxbh Zidagar Station commander current ship: Argosy

I think you need to do the rebel missions first, they go similar to standard EV rebel missions. If you dont need to do the rebel missions, you should do them first anyway, because the Polaris missions involve combat with multiple Confed Cruisers, and your argosy is not up to it. The rebel cash should get you the cruiser class ship you will need.
Oh, and there are 2 distinct polaris mission strings. The first ends with a Confed BaseShip and allows you to buy polaris warships. The second ends with an alien gateway and lets you buy the black lightning.

You will be asked(on Polaris)to do a little search for any Polaris dangers hiding in their border systems.However,I think You have to do the Confed Base Destruction mission first(I managed to destroy it in a Thargonian Corvette;just outfit it with those long range blasters and two javelin pods)Then I bought a Polaris Destroyer,its very price-worthy,and saved money for a cruiser.After doing the alien mission(I destroyed it with nuclear rockets),I bought the Lightning and continued saving money while killing ANY enemies.I stole many seeker drones,making my ship hundreds of milllions worth.I just wanted to buy my cruiser,when a marauder faced me.Unintentional,I captured it.....donĀ“t need a cruiser anymore!
I'm at Polaris, I've killed the Confed Base, and have done the redemption missions. Yet I can't find the mission. All they give me are rescue and defend the system missions. Help!

While examining the EVGE with Resorcerer (a souped up resedit clone, costs money) and EV MissionBits 2.0 (a cheat program that tells you all the missions in a plugin, highly recommended) for my own reasons...
You need to do mission 260: "Intercept Hijackers", available only from Canopus VIII in the Canopus System of Polaris space. Its immediate prerequisite is killing the confed base. This leads to the mission "Bring prisoners to justice" which leads to the "Polaris Border Patrol" mentioned by someone else.
IMO, the EVGE galaxy is too big for effective play without Resorcerer to tell me where things are. Spend too much time flying around otherwise.

1:Small red torpedoes 2:The beam turret 3:The front-swivel yellow lookin cannons 4:The big powerfull torps
They all are unlimited, but they use up alot of fuel. (Cept' the Flux Disruptors)
What are the long range blaster things? I have an upgraded TTV Corvette w/ 2 cicle disrupter thingies and plasma turrets and can't do it. I need some sort of support! Hmm, I could go around and capture some Banshees and whats they called annoying things (Pirate Corvettes). Are there any normal Reb missions? All I can get is 'destroy the Galaxy Destroyer', which is, too hard for me, although I might soon be able to do it.
You were right, my Argosy couldn't handle any of those missions. I did the Difedia II missions (easy 1 million!) and bought a TTV Corvette (dang! Who would buy a Corvette when you can get a TTV Corvette?)

Pirates are cool. Destroy them and everybody will be pleased. Capture them for an instant fleet. Go to their bases for nice outfits.
Ah, to see the thread lit up with so many questions. Reminds me of when I first played EVGE. Tis a good plug with many posibilites. Have any of you creative plug-in designers ever thought of making a addon addition to EVGE, i.e. more missions, ships...that sort of stuff. It could bring some life back into this board. Think on what I've said.

All of the rebel missions from standard EV are available. You need a higher combat rating to get them though. I checked the resources, and the Destroy Warship mission that you are currently getting has a lower combat rating requirement than the standard rebel missions. That is rediculus.
Someone on this board said they killed an alien cruiser with polaris nuclear missles. They should work against Galaxy Destroyers too. The mission pays 800,000 credits, so its worth trying. I got my first GD kill with a Dark Stalker (the pirate corvette) at THX1138 by swatting all the fighters, then waiting for a rebel cruiser to jump in. While the GD was busy, I got in close with proton turrets. After the cruiser died, I finished off the GD from long range with 50 torpedos. FYI, the GD has ~900 shields.
Should i get the proxima battlecruiser even tho it's far inferior to the ones proximans use? i very much liked the Bird of pray but think it's not fair i don't get the same rechargerates the proximans have (they recharge their armor and shields faster than i would recharge my shields only). I have the money (22M+95M trade in value, i have some 8000 seeker drones and 20 barracudas abroad my polaris hv cruiser), and will i be able to use the Black Lightning on a battlecruiser even tho it "only" has 200 tons space? Can i sell something?
Secondly, how do i disable an alien attack fighter? i know i did it when i played EVGE over a year ago but can't seem to repeat it!
And last but not least, can i get and how do i get the Wraith Missile cruiser? The ship seems to kick royal ass! The problem is it can't be bought and it only has 50 armor. All the weapons i currently use do more damage than that (primary weapons fire bursts)! What chances have i? (outcluding cheating?)
