    • Voinian defector rescue mission


      Hmm...
      I go to the Chorca system and target the shuttle. I hail him....no reply. I try to board..."you can't board this ship." What am I supposed to do?? Do NOT say to clear out the Voinians there, either 😉

    • Either you have him on board already or maybe you are targetting a different shuttle.

    • Well, he's certainly not on board. I'm targeting the disabled one in that system, the U.E.S. Marx, that's the only one I see there. How do I get him aboard in the first place?

    • Try sitting your ship on top of him 😉

    • I did, took me 3 tries to come to a complete stop on him with all those Voinians firing at me, before I was always "moving too fast" but this time I got a "you cannot board." Sigh.

    • Then you have him.

      The folowing statement is true. The preciding statement is false.

    • Check your map. If the red marker thingy is on the system with the disabled ship, you don't have him. If the marker is on the system where the mission return point is, you have him.

      You dig?

      Actually, I have the "red marker thingy" on BOTH systems--Chorca and Knox. I'm having exactly the same problem the other people are describing -- can't get stationary and close enough to board the shuttle. Even sitting right on top of the shuttle I can't seem to make anything happen.

    • Ok,

      1. Open you're "player Info" dialog box
      2. Click on the "cargo" button
      3. If you have a defector on board, head to Knox
      4. If you don't, then you're using some wierd plug-in, or you're copy of EVO is seriously screwed up.

    • Take Digital Boys advice. If it doesn't work, then abort and try again.
