Joint Forces

Hi Guys. As a wrinkly attempting to master this game I have come up against a problem I hope someone can solve. I get to the Steps Metting place and am introduced to my wingmen; but, having destroyed all the attackers to the Steps base I cannot control my 'new' wingmen. I am informed that I have none, and going to the Marauder base alone is suicide. Is there anything else I must do to communicate with teh W/m.

PS. I used to play a game called Elite on my trusty old Beeb 'B' and this game is uncannily like it.

By "the attackers to the Steps base " I guess you mean the guys that that show up as red with an XXXX iff?

If so, just ignore them and go on with the mission. If you attack them and one of the Stepsons or thier base gets hit by a stray shot the wingmen get 'annoyed' and won't work with you anymore.

The XXXX guys aren't part of the mission script. The game is programmed for them to show up randomly.
Sometimes "randomly" = "an awfull lot", as described in Murphys Law.

Now, I wonder why this post is dated 03 April but I didn't see it until today?
