Act 2 Mission 2 - Meet the Oman

Activation Info:

System:

Kompira

Prerequisites:

+ This mission is available after you have read the e-mail asking for you to find help around the cluster.

+ You must make contact with an Oman representative. This is achieved by coming near to a Station owned by the Oman in Kompira and following it when prompted, to the Oman HQ; Daru-el-Salam. This is a station around the planet Jahim.

Overview:

This is the initiation mission given to you in order to gain the respect of the Oman and ultimately to get them to offer help in the form of pilots for the final battle of Mwari. Successful completion of this mission also gives the player access to the Oman trades.

1) You must target the vessel that approaches and tells you to 'join in formation' and activate formate when you are prompted. You will be flown to a destination marked in the contact list as the 'training grounds.'

2) Once there, you will be given the choice of doing each of the 3 initiation missions. When one is failed or completed, this selection will appear. The choice is Courage, Cunning and Wisdom.

 COURAGE:

1) When selected, a tug will undock from the mega-freighter nearby marked as 'training vessel'. You should remote log onto this vessel.

               

2) Once logged on you will see a waypoint called Courage Grounds, head towards this. On arrival the nature of the challenge will be explained and an area of mines and asteroids will be seen near by. At the centre of this area is a pod of gold - the aim of the challenge is to reclaim this and bring it back to the Courage waypoint. This must be done within a time limit, which will be seen counting down on the HUD.

3) When the player gets close to mines, they will activate and begin to fly towards the player, if they get too close, they will detonate, damaging the player. If the player flies out of range of an active mine, it will stop again and deactivate.

4) The easiest way to complete the challenge is to get close to the mines near the centre of the area (where the pod of gold is) and lure them off away from the pod of gold. Doing this a few times should produce enough room for the player to dock to the pod and head back towards the Courage waypoint to complete the task.

 CUNNING:

1) When selected, a tug will undock from the mega-freighter nearby marked as 'training vessel'. You should remote log onto this vessel.

2) Once logged on you will see a waypoint called ‘Cunning Grounds', head towards this. On arrival the nature of the challenge will be explained and an area consisting of asteroids and gunstars will be seen near by. Near each of the asteroids will be a numbered waypoint. The aim of the challenge is to get to each of the waypoints in turn, within a time limit, without being destroyed by the gunstars.

3) Once you fly close to the next consecutively numbered waypoint, it will disappear off the contact list and the next waypoint in the series will be highlighted automatically.

4) The gunstars will fire at intervals. If a gunstar starts firing, you can avoid its fire by hiding behind an asteroid. At this it will stop firing.

5) To complete the task you must fly to each of the waypoints before the timer expires.

WISDOM:

1) When selected, a tug will undock from the mega-freighter nearby marked as 'training vessel'. You should remote log onto this vessel.

2) Once logged on you will see a waypoint called ‘Wisdom Grounds', head towards this. On arrival, the nature of the challenge will be explained and an area consisting of a grid of named cargo pods will be presented.

3) The aim of the task is to get the puzzle laid out in the fashion shown in the diagram below. This is achieved by shooting the cargo pods in turn. Once a pod is hit, it will change its name and cycle through from repeated fire. The rules behind the test are that no like pod is seen in a line horizontally, vertically or diagonally from each other. Once all pods are correctly marked the player will be informed.

4) To start off, four of the cargo pods will be set to the correct name these will be marked to the player as blue contacts on their list.

5) The solution is:
