Khaak are messin' wit' ma patrol

[beckoner]

On my current save, in Heretics End, flying M3+, and the next Terran Mission is the 3 Rapier Wing patrol bit...

My Problem : Circle of Labour had a Khaak M1, M2 in addition to the expected Xenon... How on earth am I expected to get rid of them?

(other than not taking the mission, going away and making lots of money & buy big ship to kick their great big purple behinds..)

You've pretty much got the solution there

b) not sure how effective this would be but can an m8 take out a khaak capital i know there pretty nifty with lazor beams which is cheaper than what you've suggested

c) wait for ages for a cap to pass through and lure the khaak to em

you might as well go for d)

start another plot, you have goner plot start very near

hopefully the khaak will be gone by the time your done

I just waited for the Argon to send a force to deal with them... About 8 game hours after they arrived. The Terran wing men won't be killded so you can leave them there until it is safe for you.

I'll also suggest the M8 route.

Just go off and do a bunch of missions until you can afford a bomber; if you do a lot of station defense missions you might get lucky and catch one instead.

Then load it with Tomahawks and throw them at the destroyer. You might want to send some Wasp/Poltergeist missiles along with them to make sure the torpedoes actually hit their target; KM2's are remarkably good at shooting down missiles.

alternativly you could just cheat it out,thats what i do sometimes if im on a plot and something like this happens i just cheat it out

Do you have a big TL?

Load it with a couple of cheap stations & drop the builds on the capitals. If you're careful you can select the correct stations to make a decent profit (at a guess wheat farms, but YMMV)

Or you can just wait until the baddies go away..

I suppose you don't even need to buy the TL...renting one should do. Wheat farms are the most deadly projectiles in X3 that I know off.

If for no reason other than that Heretic's End is Terran space.

Why? Because Space Fuel isn't illegal there.
