[TC] Treasure Hunt Walkthrough

Another question on Treasure Hunt and Terran Plot
I made it to the final mission, but it appears that I waited to long to finish it and now when I go into the Sector nothing happens. I tried this several times and still nothing happens, should I just give up on this mission ?
Also I have been playing the game as humble trader and completed Final Fury and half way through the HUB plot, I have yet been able to get the Terran Plot did I go wrong somewhere or or will the Terran Plot show up?

Xenon 101
Savage SpurSpoilerShowBefore entering pick a ship with speed greater than 150 so you will be able to out run almost all Xenon ships in the sector except an N of course.
Put a decent weapon in your rear turret to pick off N's when they close with you and set turret to target all enemies.
The key to solving this hint is speed AND a reasonable weapon load out, an M5 just will not do, there is an M3 to sort out at the shipwreck
Don't forget the derelict ship "above" the gate
HTHSpoilerShowIt is possible to take out all Pirates which surround the TL with a single ship - enter via North gate and approach TL
Engage Pirates hopefully taking out one or two before jumping to South gate - reason? the Pirates will move towards you, the fastest ships will be first (M5's) followed by M4's etc giving the opportunity to deal with them one at a time. You will have time to pick up missiles on the way so don't worry about bringing any to the party
There will be several Pirates left at the TL
You need a Cargo Life Support system onboard
Ensure you have sufficient cargo space to hold the crew or you will need to clear out cargo then strip TL sheilds down until each crew member is transferred
here's my method for nailing the TL...

Show
bring an M7M and fighter drones with that has both a transporter and the type II drones and plenty of flail missles. Target all escorting ships and destroy them. then get within 4 km of target and keep pace. you will get all the civy's out. once accomplished - Jump away. Its much simpler than using either a fighter or a springblossom...

Excusme for the dumb question, but how do I change seat to a turret? I can't find any controls for it. I even ordered that turret to attack my target while targeting the asteroid and still nothing (giving the proper firing range)Ketraar wrote:1. Install the laser into a suitable slot (some ship only allow it be mounted in the back). Change your seat to that turret if necessary and fire it as you would any other laser.
2. That roid is not minable by default (for obvious reasons)
3. To blow it up use Hornet missile, Hammerhead or any equivalent. Some lasers do break it too.

WOW, I din't know that I could do that on the vanilla game!! I thought that you were refering to the use of a script or mod. Now it worked and saved me a missile. A spectre missile did it BTW and is less than 10k Cr. Is the better option for a missile i believe.
Thanks for the tip and the whole guide! (and the quick reponse)

I'm trying to board the pirate TL and am having 2 big problems
1. It's under attack by a Paranid M7M which usually kills it when the invulnerability wears off when the mission passengers are off (I can usually block enough of it's fire to initiate boarding
2. My 4 man 4-stars (except fighting) never make past deck 2 (delivered by boarding pod) despite no defending marines (or other defence) being on scan

Re: help
You see spoilers by "selecting" the area between them (e.g. click at the top and drag the mouse to the bottom while holding the left button down).lovelornmale wrote:i cant do this mission struggling with hint 1 so i found this post and thought great but its all blocked with spoiler badges and i dont know how to remove them so i can see the post
Hello, I need some help here. I'm currently playing Vanilla game X3TC.
I already got the message about Argon Colossus being attacked by Yaki's pirates on date 768-05-05.
I'm on date 768-05-07 but when I try to find stations with the Book icon in the Pirate sectors arround Brennan's Triumph I can't find any with that icon.
I got a Pirate base at Olmansketlat, but no book icon there.
In my game, as a Humble merchant, Elena's Fortune has been almost destroyed by a Paranid attack in a war vs Argons. I already got a Kestrel ship with advanced satellite and all the software required.
Please I need some guidance on How to star the plot of Treasure Hunt.
If you need more data of my current game just ask me, thx in advice.

@ phytonita: Keep looking in several different Pirate-owned sectors in that general area. It is indeed a random station placement within suitable sectors. The icon can be on a station other than a Pirate Base and it can be on a further-out station that you haven't found yet because you haven't explored all of the sector yet.
