While playing the Enigma Nebula mission series i ran across a slight problem. I deliver the person to Capella, and then scan the system. I am told to go to LOI SpacePort 1.
I do and i am given the mission completed text and told to go to the bar. When i go to the bar, nothing happins. i opened it up in ResEdit and it looks to me like there is nothing wrong, however i dont know much about what i am seeing. i opened the Kidnap Vp misn and The AvailStel is set to the correct spob () and the Avail bitset is incremented from the last misn. is there something i am missing? and is there anything i can do to correct the problem?

If you're referring to the kidnap of the Infin VP, I think you have to visit Infin itself. I can't remember the exact sequence of events, but there are only a few places of importance in the Enigma missions: Clotho Prime, Rana, LOI 1 and Infin. Keep trying - I finished it without trouble (I think) - since I now fly an Alien Reaper.

While we're discussing NH, what's the objective when you side with the TRDF? I got stuck with an apparently neverending war with the aliens (on the side of the original Rebels) after the TRDF and Infin got vaporised.

------------------

I guess i could be more specific......

The problem i am having is in getting the Kidnap infin Vp mission... In the mission before, i transport a scientest or something to Capella.... i am told to go to LOI 1... and i am never given the next mission..... the only reason i know about the Kidmap one is because i opened it up in ResEdit.... right now i am going through the whole string from the begining with a new pilot so we shall see......

Wow! i just re-read that and i use periods alot,
i guess i just never noticed before...

Just making that dot thingy green again...

I sympathize with you EVaddict, as i have had the same problem. I worked for TDRF for a while, then after the whole infin incident with the new ship the aliens appeared and i did a little investigation work for the rebels. Now I can't get any more missions and i'm stuck doing those boring "escort convoy to <DST>, or "destroy alien scout in <DST>" After doing countless missions like this, i gave up. Seeing some light at the end of the tunnel would be reassuring...

I stopped playing that pilot too. Siding with the LOI, I got to meet the aliens on friendly terms and now fly an Alien Reaper. Very cool. I think that's probably the central objective for the LOI branch. But are there only 2 main branches (LOI/TRDF)? I'm curious as to whether Cygnus, Infin, Atinoda and the Mercenaries have more to offer than the few short pursuit/espionage missions. And is there a way to reach the Rebels besides via the TRDF branch? I tried not taking the first LOI mission, but nothing happened - no other missions so I have no idea if there is another branch. But then I didn't build up my combat rating either, so that might have been a problem too.

------------------

Yeah right after my unsuccess with the TDRF I started playing EVGE, so i haven't really done much in the way of experimentation....man, my ship was killer too. I don't remember it exactly, but i know it was a Satyr Cruiser and had eight of those green insanely good rebel beams alone with 4 of those plasma turret things and four photon beam turrets...man i was just wrecking those aliens...good stuff.
