    • Damn those bountys!


      how do I get rid of the bounty hunters??? those anyoing things come after me just because I have taken over some systems :frown: oh, why do confeds attack me in a system I own?? ffs I am a good egg on almost all their systems (actually I like rebels best but I have to be on confeds side to get their stuff) btw, what can you get from confeds?? I have a partical beam now but can I get something else from them?

      ------------------
      if I have asked a question, please reply

      **how do I get rid of the bounty hunters??? those anyoing things come after me just because I have taken over some systems They attack you there because the system you've dominated hates you, and Confeds will attack you in Independent systems which you take over. If you dominate Rebel planets, they probably won't attack you there.

      The Partical beam is the only outfit they will give you. If you have destroyed the Alien Cruiser and are able to purchase their ships, that's all you can get, and the storyline is over. If you can't buy their ships (you'll know when, so if you don't think so know, you can't), keep looking for more missions.

      BTW, why would you want the Confed stuff anyway? You can get two outfits from the Rebels, and both are arguably better than the Particle Beam, plus the Rebels let you buy the best ship in the game, the Rebel Destroyer.

    • Oh, forgot to mention, because of a bug in the scenario, you can buy Rebel ships too after completing the mission which allows you to get Confed ships. So, if you like the Rebels better, you can go buy one of their ships and start beating on the Confeds.

    • yeah, I like rebels a lot better.... but if I can get both confed and rebel ships by wining aliens for confeds then I will win alien for confed.. but can I still get cloaking and tractor beam from rebels if I win alien for confed?

      ------------------
      if I have asked a question, please reply

    • No. You will not be getting the cloaking divise or the tractor beam! Since to get them you have to finish spesific <sp> rebel missions.

    • No, if you beat the aliens for confed then you can't get tractor beam or cloaking. Unless you do that then turn on the confeds enough to get rebel missions.

      After you complete the confed missions, you cannot do the rebel missions.

      Too bad you could never use one of those. Not to mention I believe it is either fake or made in the 70s.

      Wrong.

      From the Bureau of Engraving and printing website:
      **Currency notes of denominations above $100 are not available from the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve System, or the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. On July 14, 1969, the Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve System announced that currency notes in denominations of $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 would be discontinued immediately due to lack of use. Although they were issued until 1969, they were last printed in 1945.

      These notes are legal tender and may be found in circulation today;...**

      😛
      I know this stuff because I was on a vacation to DC recently and visited the BEP, but pulled a quote off their site just to convince you.

    • But you could still never really use the notes unless you were trading them in for 20s or using them in the Cayman Islands. Anyhow, legal tender was even procured in $100,000 bills. 😛

      That is quite an interesting explanation of why the notes no longer exist. However, the were liquid currency, and hence money. 😛

      Yes, I and several other Rebel players have an overwhelming urge to shoot the ships with little blue spots... They look like bullseyes.
