I've heard about the astrodyne missions and how they lead to the tractor beam and alien missions, can anyone please tell me where these missions start?

Palshife.

What am I looking for on Palshife, i.e., what's the first mission look like?

Well, you have to had done the smuggling and inserted the Commandos on Luna.

After that, just hang out on Palshife a lot.

Good egg or Upstanding Citizen.Hace a Ultimate combat rating. The first mission starts by taking a spy from Earth back to Palshife.

I think i might have already doen that one, what comes after that one?

I don't think you need an ultimate combat before you get the mission, just a good legal rating. I think I did it on deadly or dangerous or something like that. It's not avtually too difficult, I used a corvette.

For anyone's information, here's all the missions in the Astrodyne Outpost Saga. Ahem.

Astrodyne Outpost Recruitment: Pick up Rebel spy on Earth and return to Palshife.

Astrodyne Outpost 1: Take Rebel SEAL team to Port Oread.

Astrodyne Outpost 2: Pick up Confederate scientist on Ruby and return to Port Oread.

Astrodyne Outpost 3: Get the SEAL team to the Astrodyne Outpost, then to Palshife.

Astrodyne Outpost 4: Pick up the SEAL Team on P-0805, then return to Palshife.

Astrodyne Outpost 5: Find Confederate transport (exectutive transport in the unihabited system of Castor), board it and recover weapon prototype (tractor beam), then return to Palshife.

Missions 4 and 5 are not directly connected with the others, but after finishing 3 you can just take off, jump a few times, and land again. I think there's an 80% chance the rest of the missions will be there waiting for you. If not, just try jumping again. I hope I remembered all that stuff right, I haven't played that string in what seems like, well jeez it is! About 2 hours now! Ahh, memories.
