Destroy x# of ships missions
good morning. I have a question with regards to the missions in which you are supposed to destroy x# of the same ship type. On the briefing there's no location or destination, just that. Are you suppose to go hunting to sectors in which those ships might be found? Or you stay put in the sector instead?

Anywhere.
Don't even have to destroy them yourself, your property works too.
While Khaak may be annoying unless you have sector patrols, Xenon are pretty much free rep and money if you have any sort of gate defense.

Re: Destroy x# of ships missions
Okay, thanks. But the mission must be active, correct? You cannot or shouldn't be doing any other mission?

No, it does not have to be active.
So you can even accept multiple of those and do whatever else you want and just destroy those ships whenever you have a nice opportunity to handle them.
Its actually one of the few mission types i like to accept.

Those missions are quite trivial, if type is 'Any'. With specific types (like 'K' or 'T') you might need to search more.
There was one "kill # SCA Kestrels". Saw one, but forgot to scan first, so it died as a TEL which did not count for the mission.
Got the remaining ones by flying far out to sector's edge, where the "encounters" pulls in Xenon/Kha'ak/SCA/Miners for your pleasure.
I think I've seen threads complaining that the target faction does not have any of the specific type, i.e. an impossible mission.

Re: Destroy x# of ships missions
If you need to find a lot of Khaak, take a mining escort mission. They spawn constantly throughout the mission, so you usually get to kill a dozen or so. If the mining ship gets stuck trying to dock then you'll get even more, and every one will also earn rep with the station's faction.
The only impossible kill missions I remember having were ones to kill a specific ship (not just any of the type) where the specific ship was destroyed by someone else, leaving me with nothing to kill. I've had a few non-kill missions that were impossible too, like "scan a Xenon ship containing water".

Re: Destroy x# of ships missions
I have seen a few of those missions, mainly scale pirates and Xenon... ok, so I can just accept the mission and keep about my business.... that is great... thanks for the advice.

Re: Destroy x# of ships missions
Be a little wary of these missions if they are asking for a faction specific varient. I had a mission from ZYA to hunt down and destroy a ARG Behemoth Sentinel i believe.... but the ARG don't have any behemoth sentinels, they only use behemoth vanguards.
I can't remember which varient ARG uses, but they didn't have this varient for the mission, ANT did. I tried taking out an ANT and ARG behemoth just to see if either would work, and it did not. So it was unable to be completed and i had to abandon it.
Make sure if you take a mission for a specific varient of a faction, that the faction actually uses those varient ships.

I know TEL uses Sentinel variant ships on occasion. Not sure about the other way round though.

Re: Destroy x# of ships missions
I looked through every ARG/ANT sector, and some border sectors... couldn't find any. Maybe there was one somewhere possibly... but it would have been like finding a needle in a too big haystack. In my mind now it is just a broken mission that needs reworking.

Re: Destroy x# of ships missions
TEL seem to have Sen. leader + 3 Van. escort fleets. MIN have mixed fleets too. SCA are mixed.
ARG, ANT, HOP, and PAR: all destroyers of one type only. At least at the time I did check (i.e. read from save).
Most missions or like that; unless you know that it is possible, then skip or be ready to abort.

Well, makes sense. MIN is the military arm of TEL rather than their own faction, makes sense that they share resources.jlehtone wrote: ↑Sat, 8. May 21, 00:12TEL seem to have Sen. leader + 3 Van. escort fleets. MIN have mixed fleets too. SCA are mixed.
