Hi, I've been given the mission to locate and salvage the cargo from the standed Miranu freighter but I've never found it, despite searching for many hours in the systems surrounding Plogok (sp?). (and searching for clues on this board, but I found nothing useful, even with the search engine)

Once when I returned to Igazdra, I was told that it was just a ploy to see who would be interested in the vessel, yet the mission remains on my computer.

Also, when I return to Igazdra, they check the equipment (because I've been out so long) and then tell me to go to Station Raelion, make myself useful to the commander there (which I do, though I inevitably get killed on some of his missions - see * below) and return to Ihazdra, but nothing new pops up.

Can anyone get me out of this deadlock?

Thanks

Re * - the "helping out Station Raelion". many of these are escort missions and I cannot seem to survive the attacks of the Zidagar with their phased disruptor beam. I just bought the 15m credit ship, but it is SO SLOW (even using the afternburner) and despite excellent shielding, it only takes 2 of the Zidaga large ships to take me apart with the beam because I can't run away fast enough. I can deal with their fighter bay ships with my turrets and plasma siphon, but two or more Zidagas tend to kill me.
Any tips appreciated. My own answer is to slowly gather enough credits for a speed upgrade...but that seems like a slow solution and I'd appreciate a faster one if anyone has it.. And should I go for the acceleration or the top speed upgrade, to enable me to keep out of the reach of the Zidaga ships?

Thanks

That first mission I don't remember. I think there really is a.....AH! I rmember that one! Yes! I searched high and low for the ship and eventually started nuking Miranu couriers at random, then returned to the planet and got this message. The mission should auto-terminate after awhile, just leave it alone. I think.

By 15 million cred ship I presume you mean the gargantuan Bananna of Doom? It's SAE's should simple oblitherate any ships you run into, as should its 6 billion turrets. Otherwise, rip off all the SAE stuff and mount UE Rockets; they blow up good. Personally, I'd go with a more mobile ship like the Lazira or something. Careful; I'm not sure if the plasma siphon stays with you when you switch ships.

You're in an Igazra, aren't you. If you can't take the Phased Beam fire, you should get a faster ship. Some good, fast ships are the Arada and Lazira. I recommend the latter. Outfit it well, and you can turn circles around nearly anything. Another option is the UE Destroyer. It is slower than the other two, but far tougher. Although a Zidara will catch up to you, you can upgrade it to handle the beams. You just need shield capacitors and dospect armor.

Now for the missions. The vessel is in (Eastern) Kelmaon.

Note to glynnor: Spell Igadzra correctly!
Note to Section_8: SAEs (or SADs) miss 90% of the time. They won't hurt anything, regardless of the massive damage they do. Also, UE rockets are waaaayyyyy to heavy on any ship. They take up too much space. Mount Dispy rockets for use in the Crescent.

If I remember correctly, it is near Leka of Kelmaon, or near there.

(Remember that when someone pisses you of)

When I got an Igazra the second thing I did was rip off the SAE launchers, moduels and the phase turrets. After that I replaced the Phase with Neutron and bought the speed upgrades, armor and shields. Thats what you should do! Buy armor! Armor is almost Invincible in the Crecent. And the "6 billion" turrets you have is more then enough to take out anything in the crecent before they can get rid of your armor.
