Looking for allies?!?

hello,
I actually haven't started this mission yet, even though it has been on my objectives list for quite some time now 'cuz I have a feeling that this is the last mission for act 2 and wanted to finish everything else b4 going there, therefore I'm not sure if this is the problem, but I think this objective comes out really early, and the script wants it done on a later time, I think this will only be completed after receiving the mail, asking you to find pilots and a leader for the MCA fleet, I also read somewhere that clay will say something about the background of frederick jackson, which will be your leader for the fleet.. If this is it, it's really weird, I don't see the point in displaying the objective if the player can't finish it yet.... I think the find help in other systems also can only be completed after finding the leader for the fleet? ..

You are correct prophet. Cleared the "pilot objective" after meeting the second time with Fredrick Jackson.

Thanks for the tip.

Abandon all hope

hello,
Maybe it's the problem with the script again, maybe you should try playing it again and this time get all the allies first(including the Oman) before asking the others for pilots.
