I don't get the first of the military missions

[andwheee]

The one patrolling the stargates. Do you simply have to go back to the first system and return?

[Song]

No. Follow the green arrow on your screen...it'll take you to a nav beacon, a stargate, another stargete, another nav beacon, then back to the fortress.

All the while getting shot at by marauders.

[andwheee]

The green arrow took me to the stargate back to previous system then vanished

[Aury]

A new arrow will have popped up.

[andwheee]

Nope.

Now I have no arrows but the station tells me to get back to the mission when I return.

[Aury]

ok, just go to the other stargate, and then aim yourself perfectly at the militia station, and about half way through you should see another nav beacon; you should then head back to the militia station and it should complete the mission

[andwheee]

ok I just completed it but I'm not sure how. That's pretty weird..

[Aury]

So long as you recon all of the items overlapping with the correct order, you can complete the mission

[bluesaberist]

You aren't supposed to go through the stargates, just fly by them. They want to patrol the in-system shipping lanes.
