Act 2...

There is a mission in act two (I think it is called EDIT: Wolf's Lair)
This is after you watch them jump from that jump point and smith says that it was strange and asks you to check it out. After jumping, Clay advises to go into the junk because of incoming ships... WHen the transport arrives, I try to get in position to use it as cover like Clay said. I turn down my power, making as little emission as possible, Taking short bursts of thuster to angel it.. However, I was caught, again and again. I managed to kill all 4 of the dudes, and the transport wouldnb't go. I waited for a good 2 minutes.. but my patience was wearing thin so I shot the ship until it dropped its cargo. It then proceeded in LDS, but... It went to this police station and got torn up.

I was like "WTF! I followed this lame transport with its weak LDS drive and After waiting so long it gets BLOWN up!?"

How do I approach this mission so I don't get detected?

Cal, when are we gonna get somethin' cool?

This mission is weird. Stealth in EoC is broken, so you cant sneak up on it. My usual tactic is to blow up the escorts. This will distrupt the freighters script, so either it wont go at all or it will run away, to the wrong destination. So blow up the freighter as well. A while after that, a second freighter will appear. {Optional: blow that one up as well, and repeat. Get jafs in to collect the cargo. Lots of valuable pods on those freighters, and AFAIK no limit to the number of freighters). Sometimes, this freighter is screwed up as well, but if you get back into the junk field, you should be able to formate with it as it leaves and continue with the mission.

Hey thanks... I found found stealth to be useful when docking to stations because Marauders ALWAYS attack when I dock.. Such stalkers! -_-
