⚠️ This adventure will require you to perform illegal actions in the game. ⚠️

 

However, if you follow the instructions correctly, and even if it's not a condition for completing it, it's quite possible to finish this adventure without incurring the slightest fine.



Hello;


I'm preparing an operation with my team and we're looking for an eleventh person to join us.


Our goal is to hit a Xavier Luxury Entertainment (XLE) casino, in Parriz in the Koyeris system. 


We need someone to distract the security forces in the area while we pull off the heist. Are you interested?


Members of my team will contact you to discuss the various aspects of the operation. I wish you the best of luck.

Ship preparation


I suggest 2 ready-to-go builds: Diamondback Scout or Krait Phantom. But you're free to improvise and use another ship if you like, as long as you have the necessary equipment and it's a small or medium-sized vessel. The key is to have a fairly high number of Heat Sink Launcher, as you'll be spending a lot of time in Silent Running.


Silent Running allows your ship to become invisible to other people's scanners, allowing you to avoid detection when doing something illegal. The downside is that this mode interrupts the ship's heat dissipation. If you don't want to melt in your seat, you'll have to dissipate it using the Heat Sink Launcher.


[Basher - Equipment expert]


The Diamondback Scout is a Small-sized vessel perfect for novice thieves. With enough utility points to carry enough Heat Sink Launcher, it will enable you to carry out your first clandestine missions successfully. Advantage: low purchase price / Disadvantage: low cargo space.

The Krait Phantom is a Medium-sized vessel, suitable for seasoned thieves. With enough utility points to carry enough Heat Sink Launcher, it will enable you to carry out advanced clandestine missions successfully. Disadvantage: higher purchase price / Advantage: larger cargo space.


 Build Krait Phantom

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED FOR OPERATION

 

- Heat Sink Launcher [x1]

- Recon Limpet Controller [x1]

- Hatch Breaker Limpet Controller [x1]
- Fuel Scoop [x1]
- Cargo Rack [8T minimum]

- Manifest Scanner [x1] [Optionnel] 

- Pulse Laser [x2] [Low firepower required]

- Data Link Scanner [x1] [Default on all vessels] 


Choose a vessel size Small or Medium: Large vessels don't have access to outposts, making it harder to resell stolen goods.


Having a large cargo area will allow you to store more stolen items in your ship, but it's not mandatory: for this operation, 8T will suffice.


There's no need for a shield module or automatic docking computer, as these are incompatible with Silent Running.


As for weaponry, we're not pirates, so we don't need enormous firepower. One or two basic pulse lasers will suffice.


If in doubt, consult the two builds I suggest.


[Basher - Equipment expert]


Once your ship is ready and properly equipped:
- Refuel with drones before leaving the station

- practice using silent running
- move on to the next step


Once the step is completed, proceed to the next step 

Infiltration with XLE


Let me tell you a little more about your role in our operation. Your mission will be to hold up a megaship Aquarius-class Tanker, the one that regularly supplies the casino with alcohol. While the local security forces are busy looking for you, we'll have free rein to break into the vault.
 

The problem is, we don't yet know where the megaship  in question is. But Frank, one of our guys, has been hired as mission manager for the XLE at Fernandes Port in the Koyeris system. Obviously he got hired under a false name but I don't know him.


Go and meet him to get the megaship's position.


[Rusty - Danny's right-hand man]


What is the name of the mission manager for Xavier Luxury Entertainment at Fernandes Port in the Koyeris system? [FIRST NAME LAST NAME]


Password:

The megaship's name is the 'SUN-704 Aquarius-class Tanker'.

Unfortunately, I was unable to obtain sufficient accreditation to know its current position.
 

However, I do know where we can retrieve this information. You need to go to the Shottunch system and find the government facility Universal Investment Board  in order to hack into their information system. Here you'll find a map of the mega-vessels operating in the sector.


[Frank - 'Samuel' - Undercover Expert] 


Go to the location indicated by Frank and proceed to the next step.


Once the step is completed, proceed to the next step 

Installation hacking


Government installation Universal Investment Board - System Shottunche


DEFENSE SYSTEMS
- Defense System Turret [x5]

- Automated defence turret [x2]

- Fighter Bay [x3]

POSSIBLE INTERACTIONS
- Cargo Bay [x3]
- Hackable Data Transmitter [x2]
- Hackable Com Array [x1]


⚠️ Hacker attack scenarios can occur on installations and megaships. The lower the system's security level, the more often this happens. If this happens, don't panic, you can still continue your operation: Silent Running will help you go undetected ⚠️


Your objective is to hack their Hackable Com Array. This is a illegal action, so you'll need to be in silent running to prevent the installation's defense systems from activating. 


If you feel like it, you can also hack into the 2 Hackable Data Transmitters to retrieve engineering materials, but it's not mandatory. The system's security forces will be called in: keep a low profile and simply leave the area once you've finished.

PIRACY INSTRUCTIONS:

 

1. 👍🏻 [LEGAL] Approaching the plant

 

2. 👍🏻 [LEGAL] Deploy the ship's load points

 

3. 👍🏻 [LEGAL] Scan installation with Data Link Scanner


4. 👍🏻 [LEGAL] Come within 200m of the Hackable Com Array

 

5. 👍🏻 [LEGAL] Scan the Hackable Com Array with the Data Link Scanner


6. 👍🏻 [LEGAL] In the Target menu, select <LIMPET DOCKING POINT>


7. 🏴‍☠️ [ILLEGAL] [SILENT RUNNING MODE] Launch a Recon Limpet on the <LIMPET DOCKING POINT>

 

8. 🏴‍☠️ [ILLEGAL] [SILENT RUNNING MODE] [OPTIONAL] Hack the Hackable Data Transmitters


9. 👍🏻 [LEGAL] Leave the zone

Limpet Docking Point


Once you've finished hacking the installation, move on to the next step.
 

Once the step is completed, proceed to the next step 

Locate Megaship


Among the data recovered when the installation was hacked, you find, as expected, the route map of the megaships that operate in the region. Each megaship travels once a week, on Thursday, traversing their predefined routes.
 

🟨 GOM-718 Aquarius-class tanker [YELLOW]

🟥 SUN-704 Aquarius-class Tanker [RED]

🟪 IMH-435 Hercules-class Hauler [PURPLE]

🟧 BD+73 447 Banner-class Hauler [ORANGE]

🟩 BD+72 545 Henry-class Hauler [GREEN]

🟦 LP 60-205 Demeter-class Cropper [BLUE]


Using this map, you can now search for the megaship Frank has indicated, by browsing the systems in which the megaship travels. It's bound to be in one of the systems on its path. 

Megaships don't appear on the system map, but they are listed in your ship's navigation panel. If the megaship you're looking for doesn't appear in the list in the system you're in, you need to scan the system and its various planets until you find the one it orbits. It's safer to scan all the planets in the system before concluding that the megaship isn't there and continue the search in the next system.


Once the megaship has been located, move on to the next step.


Once the step is completed, proceed to the next step 

Megaship heist


An Aquarius-class Tanker megaship specializes in the transport of liquid goods. It is equipped with tanks capable of storing up to 300T of various liquid goods (water, spirits and chemicals).



DEFENSE SYSTEMS
- Automated Defence Turret [x4]

 

POSSIBLE INTERACTIONS
- Cargo Bay [x2]
- Hackable Data Transmitter [x1]


You need to recover at least 1T of stolen cargo for the diversion to be credible. You can obviously take more, but remember that you're there just to create a diversion: so follow the instructions and don't take too many risks.


The system's security forces will be called to the scene: the last thing you want is to be scanned by the authorities if you have stolen goods in your ship. Use silent running as long as necessary and keep your ship as cold as possible to avoid scans.

Once the heist has been completed and at least 1T of stolen goods recovered, you can move on to the next stage.


Once the step is completed, proceed to the next step 

Resale on the Black Market


You can now go sell your cargo while the operation takes its course in the casino. Bear in mind that you're carrying stolen goods, so it's best to avoid getting your ship scanned. Use Silent Running in case of problems.


Outposts, unlike stations, have no security forces. You'll need to find an outpost with a black market using the galaxy map, or by using this liste.

Stolen goods


Once you've resold your cargo of stolen goods (at least 1T) on a black market, you can move on to the next step.


Once the step is completed, proceed to the next step 

Locate Megaship (2)


The heist is over!


We've just moved the loot out in XLE containers and arranged for them to be loaded onto a transport megaship: the 'BD+72 545 Henry-class Hauler'.


All that's left is to find the exact position of the megaship and recover the loot. I hear you've got a route map of the megaships in the area - perfect! We're getting close to our goal: find that megaship!


[Rusty - Danny's right-hand man]


Using the megaship route map, locate the megaship indicated by Rusty.

Once the megaship has been located, proceed to the next step.



Once the step is completed, proceed to the next step 

Megaship sabotage


A megaship Henry-class Hauler specializes in freight transport. It is equipped with containers that can store up to 250T of various goods (consumer goods, machinery).



DEFENSE SYSTEMS
- Automated Defence Turret [x1]

POSSIBLES INTERACTIONS
- Cargo Bay [x1]

As you approach the megaship, you notice the containers marked with the XLE logo containing the casino loot.

(written under the XLE logo, in 3 words)


Password:


Perfect, you've found the megaship!


Its defense system comprises just one turret, but you'll have to sabotage it so that we can start recovering the containers. You'll need to destroy the generator of the Automated Defense Turret in order to disable it. 


Let me stress this point: you must shoot at the generator and not directly at the turret! As usual, think Silent Running to avoid being spotted. Once this is done, leave the area. The rest of the team will come and unhook the containers and tow them away with specially equipped T9s.

For you, the operation is now over, and it's time to cool off. Remember to pay your bounties if you're ever wanted. Or get rid of your ship, it's up to you.


Xavier Luxury Entertainment


My guys have just informed me that they've secured the containers.


Everything went according to plan: the operation was a complete success. Nice job on the diversion, it made our job a lot easier. The XLE has lost a lot today! Dear Xavier is an old friend, he'll get over it.


I'll probably call on your services again for our next operation: the robbery of the bank of Zaonce. We'll be in touch o7
