Threat gate mission - where to find mosquitos

Post by lazarus5000 » Mon, 11. Apr 05, 14:23

I'm a newb stuck on a mission where I need to jump out of my ship to examine a broken jumpgate (to Earth?). Its surrounded by mines and I believe I need mosquito missiles to clear them (or fighter drones). I've now been halfway round the known galaxy and I can't find a station with the missiles in stock.

What do I do? Do I need to supply a station with resources so it can make some for me?

There's a mosquito missile fab in Red Light. You can supply the station and wait, or maybe just wipe out a few small pirate ships - they normally leave a few behind.

wasps do the job a bit easier .. go for them .. they are twice as expensive .. but you'll only need 1/2 off the amount you'd need with Mosq. miss.

I found Drones also did a pretty good job, get them to Follow the SQUASH Mine, but may be a wee bit more expensive

For every mine you need about 2.25 mossies. The first one only gets it down to like 1% hull, the second finishes it, and each one nearby, off(the extra 1/4 is for any misses). Fighter drones are a bit more expensive, but they do the job.

squash mines

Post by John McG » Sun, 14. Aug 05, 09:31

I have just reached the same position that you reached in your message, so I hope you are able to help. Did you manage to get any wasp missiles? Like you I couldn't find any wasp missiles, so I have bought mosquito missiles, I don't know yet whether they will work as I can't find the squash mines. I am in Brennan's triumph but can't find any mines anywhere. Please can you tell me how you progressed from here, and whereabouts the squash mines are. I have travelled all over Brennan's triumph and can't find them or a broken gate.
Thanks
John.

Fly towards the gate, and press "PGDN" repeatedly. It is in a sensor obscuring nebula. When you have one targeted, stop immediatly.
Maverick: Requesting permission for flyby.
Air Boss Johnson: That's a negative ghostrider, the pattern is full.
Goose: No. No, Mav, this is not a good idea.
Maverick: Sorry Goose, but it's time to buzz a Split.
Split: Split now give you .... Aaaarrriiiigh.
