That Boron likes to talk in person

Post by Paranoid66 » Mon, 14. Sep 09, 12:06

Got an assassination mission the other day and rather amusingly the Boron involved refused to divulge his co-ordinates over the com system.

The critter insisted that I dock (a minor issue at the time) as I was in my Odysseus and his little station could not accomodate. Anyway struggling against the clock I managed to eject and dock in my vacuum suit.

Anyway I was surprised at this one as I had not noticed this behaviour by npc's before and would like to congratulate whoever scripted that one in as it came as a surprise - a nice touch.

Reminded me of having to dock all the time in the bad old days. :)

Yeah I like that and the picking up of passengers from other ships.

The given mission will warn you if you look really closely at the mission briefing. There are 3 types of assassination missions: "Just kill the target", "*talk* to a contact and kill the target", and "*Dock* at the station, then talk to the contact, and finally kill the target"

Very annoying, I agree.
