Impossible Millitary Missions

[Lord_Eyre]

Hello all, This is my first ever post on the forums!!!
I've spent many, many hours playing transcendence but at the moment the only majorly annoying thing i've found is that it is impossible for me to complete missions in my Lui Bai system. I'm meant to kill the Ares Freighters but the CSC ship is soo far away by the time i get there the Freighters have already left.

Has this happened (or similar) to anyone else? or am i just unlucky this time?

Have fun playing,
Newbie

Do you have it such that the CSC is far away from both stargates, and that both stargates are close to each other?
It's an instance of the RNG (random number generator) messing up your missions.
I think it's a known bug, but it still should be trac worthy.
My suggestion:
Stop taking missions from that CSC. Fail too many missions and I think the Fleet may start demoting you....

EDIT:
Oh, and welcome to the forums! Hope you enjoy your stay and drop by IRC sometime soon!

hi lord_eyre welcome to the forums, i fear your mission bug is just the luck of the RNG that generates the systems, but if you supply you save and any mods you use (if you have any) i am sure a experienced modder could give you some code to run in the debug console to complete that mission for you (aka a cheat code) (if it is a bug)

Thanks for the help!!!!
BTW i'm curious, would the fact that although i've started 2 new saves i haven't found a single tinker?

I'm 95% sure i haven't just missed it. Do you think its probably just the randomness of the game?

It is possible for some stations to never spawn in a game.

Tinker stations are a Uncommon station in the game only because they are designed to be elusive.
While Tinkers can sometimes be your best friend, they have the power to give the player too much of an advantage. It was this latent ability of the station that drove many to want more advantages and more station frequency. I fell into that once myself.

However, I have since learned the error of my ways unless I am going to adapt a tinker to handle something I put in the game : I like them just the way they are : a good surprise.

Re: The original comment. If a system is named Liu Bai it's going to be a binary system (just before eta ceti) ... binary systems are renowned for their massive ... bigness; has anyone eles had trouble with CSC missions and the distances involved in them?
