Maybe I'm out of place writing this, but gonff, I gotta tell you.... I've noticed that you're totally new to the board and to the game, but you've already asked many questions about how to get through certain missions... the whole fun of the game is figuring out stuff for yourself. Give it some time, you'll figure most everything out by yourself. Just wanted to let you know....

Anyway, welcome aboard. Enjoy.

Well, you're right that figuring stuff out is good, however allow me to mention the three things that I have asked.

1. how to join the renegades, because I didn't want to screw up my chances of joining somehow. You're right, I could have figured that out on my own.
2. how to get escorts to leave when emulating the game on a PC. I was hoping that somebody else was in the same situation. This is not part of the gameplay and thus not "fun" to figure out, being a fault in the coordination fo Executor with EVO.
3. how to get the Voinian. I thought that this might be a bug because contacing the shuttle was not working, and neither was boarding it. And no, I did not already get the Voinian as many people have suggested; he is not listed in my cargo, and the arrow points to the system where the shuttle is. Having several times been in a position to board him and receiving a "you cannot board this ship" message, when it obviously needs to be boarded, it seems that this is indeed a bug. Therefore, as in #2, if it is a bug then it is not an aspect of gameplay and not something to figure out like a regular mission.

However, I respect the value that you have presented here, and do indeed intend to figure most things out on my own. Thanks for calling the matter to my attention, but it is already taken care of

Right on. Anyway, my suggestion for your voinian problem is to cancel the mission, go back to the original planet and get the mission again. It might work that time.

That mission to rescue the defector the second time is really buggy. I destroyed the Voinian "fleet" already, but the (url="http://"http://www.geocities.com/evosite/shipyard1.html")shuttle(/url) was still alive, and when I hailed it, it kept saying really mean stuff. :frown: Eventually, after the fifteenth time I jumped into the system, the shuttle was finally disabled, and I boarded it and got Mr. Defector. It took almost an hour. Annoying, ain't it?

I can't think of anything else to write...

I don't know if anyone gave you an answer to this, so I will anyway. Go to preferences, and change the "Target" key. That way Executor won't quit.

Oh, yeah, I figured that out a while ago, it still wasn't working though for some reason. Some fiddling fixed it. Thanks anyway
