I got the black hole mission and ive tried at least 20 times but i cant deystroy it without blowing myself up. Any suggestions on how to deystroy it would help

1. Cheat.
2. Have a good night's sleep, get your IMP bomb ready, as well as IMP rockets, and take a deep breath. Come into the maximum IMP rocket range, and fire at it. This will provoke it. Now run backwards, and drop a bomb along the way. It will charge right at you, and blow up. This tactic works - even though I eventually went for point 1. <smiles>

That's all very nice, but where are the guns?

Don't cheat. Cheating sux. Use skill, and make a copy of youre pilot file. The stuff after you fail is pretty cool too, so you dont have to win.

If you're blowing yourself up with the IMP bomb, you're dropping it too late. Select the black hole, move as far away from it as you can, and hold down the Autopilot key to aim your ship straight at the hole. Charge towards it at full speed, and drop the bomb shortly before the hole comes into view on your main screen. DON'T slow down! What should happen is: You drop the bomb, and hurtle past the black hole, taking some damage from its gravity, but not enough to destroy your ship. Meanwhile, the bomb continues on its collision course, and hits the black hole just as you get out of range of the explosion. It'll be a close call, but that should work. Hope this helps!

firestorm: The ideas above should help. If you're feeling really lucky, you can also lob the bomb at it. Get away, stop, line up with autopilot, cruise toward it(Not full speed), reverse your ship well before the black hole is onscreen. When it appears, hit thrust and drop the bomb almost simultaneously. If you're close enough, and lucky enough, the bomb won't hit an asteroid before it glides into the black hole. Too slow, and the bomb goes off too far away from it.
Jack: You'll eventually get a message that says something like, "Congradulations, you're finished. Well, there is One more major mission." You'll get the mission from Lindi Van Roth. Sort of.

If your Tach Fighter has the room, I highly reccomend you by a layer of the most basic armor. Every little bit counts on this mission, and you will (at least, in my experience) be able to live through the IMP Bomb blast if you are moving really really fast (afterburners are good, yes, even with the TF's ludicrous natural speed) and you drop tbe bomb before you are directly above the hole. I usually use the Tachyon Beam as a little visual guide to determine whether or not there are any obstacles in my path.
Although that tactic of angering the hole into following you is particularly clever. Wish I'd known that when I went through the mission...

That's because Turner was smart enougth to incorperate the forklift into Frozen Heart, so that while still posible to use, does no damage effect beyond the fact that it will only irritate ships into attacking you.
