Mission 3-1

Hi, just like to know how long does it take for the marines to arrive in this mission. Went back to the base to save some loot on the way to the destination after the briefing. After relaunch, went straight to the maas station but been flying for about 30 mins and still no marines, info running mission 3-1 is on the screen. any help thanx in advance.

Hi bebop. You should have after your briefing a waypoint to the base of security. The marines should be there awaiting your attack on the base defences (gunstars and marauders). While you're doing this the marines will be working to convert the gunstars to friendly status.

I should add though, that going back to base in the middle of a mission can cause mission trigger problems. Check your objectives log (Shift-L) to see if the mission is still active. Also check to see if your waypoint exists.

Depending on what you find you may either have to go back to the beginning or an earlier stage of the mission.

I do hope you have saved manually each time you have completed a mission. If not hmmmm . . . .
