Act 2 new ship

Hi all

Ive started playing this game again recently
and have hit a snag in ACT 2

Having rescued the ambasador and returned to base i got the message
saying thanks..and advising i visit the ritz and speak to indigo. Before doing that i did a mission where i defend an l-point (successful) and then went to the ritz and met indigo.

Now here is the problem, the guide says i should now have a mssage
saying sorry and asking for help..which leads to the patchcom being given. However although there are other missions offered the email from indigo has not come.

Has anyone got any ideas how to fix this?. Game is patched but not modded

Thanks

Hi Trev.

Due to the free-form nature of Act II, missions will not always appear at the same time from game to game. Many hidden factors determine when a mission is given (including player score and completion of other (sometimes several) missions).

My advice would be to continue with the missions you do have. Indigo's email should arrive eventually.

Thanks mate, ill do that
quite impressiveto see a community still alive for such an
old game, did they ever make a sequel of sorts?

Sadly Particle Systems (which later became Argonaut Sheffield) disbanded. So there will be no sequels in the near future.

However the Epic mod is looking fantastic and will most certainly extend EoC's lifespan a bit longer.

Ok guys sorry to be a pain, i have done more missions, now i have no objectives
listed. Have recruited 100 pilots from oman, 3rd way, sherrif, went to dagda
talked to jarvis (but no email on return) then went to jackson yard but noone home.

So it seems there are three triggers missing

1) Blockade (indigo)
2) Backdoor (jarvis)
3) Pilots and jackson??

in desperation i checked the walkthrough, dont know what is wrong.

I did have 'find help to fight marauders' and 'recruit pilots' listed as complete but
now they have dissapeared on objectives.

Only thing i can think of is rating is only 'ace' with 450 pods stolen
is it because this is too low perhaps?

Thanks

There seem to be a couple of points in the game where score matters. I'd do some pirating and up your score.

Also look back through your emails to see if you've missed a mission (easy to do since they sometimes come in batches)... and check your Objectives screen frequently.

If after pirating and nosing about you still don't have a new mission presented you can email me a copy of your save game and I'd be happy to take a look and see if I can spot the problem. I'm at shanemaness(at)netscape.com.
