Breaking Grounds plot (Page 1 of 6)

Starting the plot

Between a rock and a hard place

The first thing to do in this new plot is to take a look at an asteroid in Heretics End. Search the sector for the asteroid, or travel to -68.2, -14.5, -8.36 km. You must get within 5km of the asteroid to scan it.

After you have scanned the asteroid, you will be told to destroy it. You can not do this with a normal weapon.

So, you need to contact a Mining Specialist. You may wonder is a Mining Specialist, well talk to either:

• NMMC Headquarters, or..
• Plutarch Mining Corporation HQ.

You will be told that the troublesome asteroid can be removed by parking a ship nearby, filled with mines then detonated remotely. You will need a TS class ship and 75k credits. When you have a ship ready, dock it at the HQ and install the remote detonator.

This will take a little while to do. When the ship is ready, you need to put at-least 20 mines on it - for a big enough bang. You can use any of the following mines (or a mix of each);

• Ion Mine,
• SQUASH Mine,
• Tracker mine,

Once the ship is filled with mines, order it to get close to the asteroid by using the Fly to position command in the navigation menu. When the ship is close enough, it will explode - revelling an hidden gate:


Now, you will be ordered to investage the mysterious new gate. Travel over to it; get within 5km. Once you do, your get the following message:


Now accept, and the mission will complete.
