    RE: Switch sides mission

    There is a switch sides mission available, but it just pisses the feds off - it doesn't actually let you do the Rebel mission string.

    The reason why you can do both strings in the beginning of the game is because the rebel mission string is only cut off once you complete a confederation. But if you accept them both and then complete them both you can still continue both mission strings because the game is designed that only the rebel introductory mission is cut off - but since you already have it you can continue the string as if nothing happened (as long as you maintain a good legal record on both sides either by maintaining a close balancing act of destroying confed and rebel ships or by blowing up lots of pirates 🙂 )

Not accepted by the Rebels for simply owning one of their cruisers I hang out in Rebel spacebars picking up the odd mission as and when they are offered I wait for the big break of a Rebel string. However, this seems to be taking sometime in coming, I took new ID to wipe the slate clean and refuse most missions still offered by the Confed's. Would any of you who have been where I seem to be agree with my approach to this problem. My gambling debts are mounting.

    Once you have completed one main mission string you cannot do the other one with the same pilot file. What you could do though is start a new pilot file, accept the 'transfer confed parcels' mission, and then take the 'transfer rebel documents' mission before completing the confed mission, allowing you to simultaneously do both mission strings and therefore have access to the tractor beam, cloaking device and tractor beam.

    ...when did a Rebel Cruiser come into this conversation? Besides, if you have a Rebel Cruiser you don't need clippers either.

    And therefore useless - you're doing most of the work anyways. You can also tell fighters to hold position.

    Zax, thank you also. I have the Rebel Cruiser fully armed as you suggest. One of my secondary weapons is a Partical Beam. This isn't the tractor beam you speak of is it? If not what is the purpose of this Partical Beam, when used it only serves to drink my fuel at an ararming rate.

    **

    You must have worked for the Confederation to get the particle beam. The tractor beam is a weapon you gain when you do the rebel mission string. I guess it may be possible to destroy the alien fighter without it, but it's insane speed means that you'll have a hard time keeping up with it. The particle beam in this case will just hamper your efforts as it will knock back the alien fighter.

    RE: Alien Fighter

    Take a Rebel Cruiser with as many primary weapons as you can load on (and armour enhancements) and then when you see an alien fighter tractor beam it and slowly tear it apart with your protons. Taking it on in a ship less than a kestrel is....unwise 😉

    RE: Money

    Capella - Nemesis trade run. Buy industrial goods on Capella (or it may be metal - check first) and sell it on Nemesis. Buy luxury goods on Darkstar (in the nemesis system) and sell them at Capella. Hire 6 light freighters to help you and always tell them to hold position when you enter a system. This way they won't shoot pirates with their single laser turret (pirates always follow you when you have a lot of freighter escorts) and so the pirates will never attack them. You'll have 10 million in around an hour...

    RE: Matter of oppinion

    I prefer EV to EVN mainly because I don't want to have to slowly gain enough credits to buy a massive warship to have a chance of taking out those capital sihps, whilst all the while my character is having a massive emotional overload and is constantly querying the morality of his actions. I want to bait kestrels in a shuttlecraft! 😛
