Star Wolves 3: Civil War Message Board  

I'm sorry but i can't pass this mission. My mothership stop at a certain point of the mission (I now that it is normal), and i do what you have already explain, i use only the fighters, and use them to attract the enemies to the mothership, then it's easier to kill them. I do this more than an hour (anything happens, there is always a pirate/greys ship to destroy), I reach to the msf station and ternie contact my pilot and anything happens. I don't know if I have to destroy the yellow pirate ships near the msf station. Can anyone post step by step what is necessary to complete this mission, please I'm stuck on it.

PS: Sorry my bad english, I expect that you understand it, and that I make myself clear. Thank you.

I finally finished it.

Whit all your fighters kill off anything around the station... then the yellow ship with Ternie will dissapear and you'll get several messages and the guys on the station will tell you to go to the Pirate Base to find Ternie. Mind you... Your make sure your fighters are well equipped... I spent about 2millions per fighter ship I had 4.

There is a way to get around it. First off you MUST do the following before you enter system:

1) have the best equipment you can possibly get. I suggest that you buy at smuggler stations or train your main char to have access to FTU warehouse. The latter is better since smugglers love to rip you off.

2)have your greatest damage dealer (the fighter with the most powerful guns) have an emergency speed booster or have him train speed boost skill.

3) install the best sensor upgrade you can get on a fighter.

Now When you enter system you'll see a group of greys coming towards your location. Before they go red, have your speed boost high dmg pilot close to them. The when they go red, run the game at normal speed and watch for a grey that breaks off (usually the bottom trident). as soon as you see him break off pause the game and activate your highdmg pilot's speed boost and order him to attack the courier (use any skills that boosts his dps).

He should be dead and you group should be able to kill off the other greys. If not try have all your fighters close to first grey group you see but still do the speed boost on your highdmg pilot and chase him down. If the courier is dead greys that kill your engine shouldn't pop up. After that you gotta move carefully. instead of directly heading to the base, have your mothership and fighters head to a point a lil north of base (this is what I did). Your sooped up scanners should be able to detect greys that are patrolling b4 they detect you. Dodge them as much as possible while still heading generally closer to the station. Then once you are close the grey base, quickly head for the base. Once you get the cut scene showing the grey base, your mothership should be tanking while your fighters and mercs do the killing. get close to the yellow transport and you should be getting the convo involving kalem the repair guy and ternie. Those engine disabler grey will still show up but since you are already at the base and ternie introduceded kalem to you it should no longer be a problem. And a little after this point (spolier alert), alexandra shows up with a new mothership for you (has 5000hp with 1000 base shield). awesome ship I should say.

Thanks, you really help me to pass this mission, and now I had finish the game

i kill all and even shoot on the station and remaining 3 yellow transports without resopnse

after another try i got another tactic
forget to save your MS and no need to kill all enimies just take the fighters to the highest level upwords and discend to the old station and after the talk with the techs go up again but be shore that you have yor missiles and go to pirates station and the fight there is easy
note: the 1st step could be done by one fighter better to be the faster in case you meet some one
the new ship is awsome bringed by clirc and a new story is starting
good luck

i was frustrated,too,given i didn't have those sophisticated fighters u mentioned (i wonder,where did all ur money comes from? i follow the storyline but didn't get much money to get top level fighter,and didnt have enough xp to have my pilots be able to ride 5th gen fighter).

before entering the system,make sure:
1. bring some torpedoes, hellbringer or supernova. eraser won't hit them.
2. have an excellent scanner (agent-350 clicks on fighter or quasar-400 clicks on MS)

when entering the system, u will be attacked by several greys. in the midst if fight, a grey trident will go away from battle, acting as courier to warn the system. use torpedo (i used hellbringer) to destroy it from great distance. this will prevent your MS to shut down.

after that, proceed carefully to the pirate station by avoiding the grey patrols, thanks to the scanner. i also use stealth . if a grey patrol is alerted by ur presence, ur MS will shut down.

arriving at the station, several grey will appear, use MS for tanking, while fire some torpedoes to wipe those gunslingers. aftr a while, ur MS will shut down.

destroy the transport, but dont use torpedo, or u will destroy the neutral transport (ternie is in there), then game over.

the rest is easy as a pie.

*isn't there any walkthrough for this game ??!!
