Shady Business Plot (Page 3 of 12)

Legwork.. continued

When you contact Chi Nu t'Pst he will tell you, he feels nervous about this shipyard. The reason is because so many ships have disappeared, so he thinks its cursed. Chi Nu t'Pst wants you to help out salvaging a few ships for him.

When you undock from the station, you will get a few more messages. Chi Nu t'Pst will say he installed a tracking device just before you left. This device can locate hidden ships; which arent normally possible to find. The tracker works by beeping when near a hidden ship. This tracker will not find any other ships apart from the ones in the story line by the way.

So now you need to find a Split Dragon in either Patriarchs Retreat, Family Rhonkar or Patriarchs Keep.
So jump to the sectors, and start searching around 10-20km from the middle of the sector. Be sure you have the Detector Scanner Upgrade onboard your ship, otherwise you wont be able to search for the ship (just encase you swapped ships). You know when you are near, as you will see this at the bottom of the screen, whilst your ship starts beeping:


Follow the beeps, and work out where the ship is. Its basically distance from ship, and whether if your hot or cold (hot being the right direction). When in range, the ship will appear. You will need to claim the ship and return it. So when close enough, exit your ship and fly towards it in your space-suit. You will need to get quite close to be able to claim the ship:


Once you claim the ship, you must return it to the shipyard in Family Pride. This could take sometime because the ship will be highly damaged. You could fit a jumpdrive on it temporally, or upgrade it... but I wouldnt spend much on it.

After you turn the ship in, Chi Nu t'Pst will tell that he doesnt know where Ho t'Sht is, but maybe a Teladi might. You will need to head to the equiptment dock in The Vault (near the top / middle of the map).

When you enter the sector, you will notice the blue-book marker (on the equipment dock). Now talk to the Teladi onboard, and ask him about Ho t'Sht. However he wont tell you everything until you either threaten or pay him. If you threaten him you will lose some Teladi rep or some cash (depending what you choose to do). The Teladi will tell you that Ho t'Sht was last seen buying arrows/starbursts (high speed M5 class ships), but doesnt know where.

This was reference to an eariler mission in Freedoms Reach. So jump there now.
