    • What are these 'skiing missions'?


      I keep on hearing (well, reading) people talking (typing) about these missions called the 'skiing missions'. Where do you get them and how?

    • The skiing missions are basically a set of boring misisons wher eyou help this guy named Calvin (or Melvin? been a while) set up a ski resort near the emalgha systems... the planet description says somehting about scientists and a lot of snow if you look for it. There is no action, just shipping things back and forth, trying to make deadlines. If you're already far in the game, I wouldn't recommend you going out of your way for these missions.

    • Actuely, there is some combat at the end of the string, but it's not much. And I ended up HATING the missions because I had a totaly AWASOME U.E. cruser with that extra room thing you get from the miranu plus the cloking divice and I had to buy a lousy courier to meet some of the deadlines, so I'm with Lunar2 in saying don't bother.

    • You go to the Kirrim system to get the missions, in the bar, you should find Melvin, who will want you to take a message somewhere. It's not a particulary exciting string, but, if you're early in the game and need some credits, go ahead.

    • Can anybody tell me how much they pay?

    • I don't remember exactly, but I think it is more than 100,000, but less that 1 million. I think. But I might be way off.
