X3:TC Yaki Stolen Colossus

DeLoreanLover · Post by **DeLoreanLover** » Wed, 26. Jan 11, 01:18

I've been flying around exploring, trying to kill some time while my factories sold goods when I got a message from Val Yatar regarding the stole Colossus. Now I am wondering where that ship is and what kind of mess am I taking myself in to with that missing Colossus. As of now, I don't have a fighter fleet, the only fleet I got is TS ships buying and selling goods for my stations and I got my Vidar upgraded to max, is it enough to take the ship back or are there certain ships I would need to have to make job easier?

The Vidar should be fine for that plot. there's not a large amount of fighting in it as far as I remember.

Well, in addition to the Vidar, I got 2 TP ships you get during the first plot, I have trained those marines up to 3 stars on both ships because they were terrible at boarding.

It's tha Treasure Hunt plot and you don't need that mush a powerfull ship as you need a lot of patience or this guide http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php? ... 23#3467223.

You'll want fast more than powerful. Some missions require more power than speed.

One in particular is more interesting if you come prepared to board.

You'll get a chance to pick up an Albatross without P/Oing the Teladi.

I guess I'll train all of my marines on one of my scabbards to 5 starts overall, just to be on the safe side.

As long as you use 20, you shouldn't have a problem.

You'll be fine in Vidar, except maybe for two missions where you'll be better off in a fast M3.

It's the missions where you have to go to Xenon sectors.

Will Scimitar with max engine tuning do nicely?

ComedianGR · Post by **ComedianGR** » Thu, 27. Jan 11, 11:21

I suggest a Spitfyre with max tuning.

I did it in Mamba Vanguard, without any trouble

If you do use a slower ship, be sure to pack some mosquitoes for... 4? I think it is.

It's the second one in a Xenon Sector. 347, so the one surrounded by Profit.

You'll face some fighter drones, and Mosquito Missile Defense will fire at them.

i completed it in two days with terran sabre

That is why I hate Vidar, it can't use any missiles except Terran ones.

Another issue that bothers me in one of the parts in the quest is; will the

You get a message to leave it there and they'll deal with it.
Your only concern is to get the prisoner to the Shipyard in Argon Prime.

Once you get the prisoner there (or a while after, I don't remember) you get a message that you can take it, it's docked at the Shipyard and it's your to control. It can take both commonwealth and Terran weaponry bot only fighter weapons.

Only problem is that you don't get to RE it so take good care of it as it's the only one of it's kind. You get it blown you loose it for good, or just reload.
