Horizons killing surface mission

[spriggan72]

Hi,
I've got a Killing mission and I have to "interact with the comms array" of a military settlement to get the coords of the victim

When I get to the site I can see from 3km away a target called "coms control (inactive)"
If I get colose to it (50m) I'm not able to scan it.... where I'm doing wrong?

In the meanwhile the base is alerted for trespassing and I'm very quickly destroyed.. so I haven't been able to do so many attemps...

any clue?

thansk in advance

No clue, as I have never done one of these. Just out of curiosity though, have you tried killing the base before it kills you?

the base is guarded by 3 ships + I get the usual turret fire: the SRV is destroyed in seconds and my ship (a CZ fitted piton) less than a minute after....

Man, sounds like a tough one.

I'm sure someone on here knows how to do these.

If not. You want a wingman to help out?

What's you time left on the mission?

PM me some details, if you're interested!

Haven't done this kind of missions, but according to your description... You must scan a comms control terminal in a large size (+++) medium (or even high) security "military" base? Hmmm.. You know, that you can scan it only with srv-scanner, isn't it?

Well yeah, but, having someone who can provide air cover should help out right? Or put some well-timed missiles on a pesky ground target or two?

Sounds awesome. Don't it?

not 100% sure but you may have to unlock the other scan points before the one you need opens, I have been doing data scan missions and usual target to scan is 3 or 5 scan points before I get the data I need.

That's how it usually works in my experience. Hit all of the red/orange points, then go for the white ones. Anyway, I think part of OPs problem is the dying part.

OP, let me know if you're interested in some on-station support.

Missiles can be of help, but will not solve the problem if it is something like this (AA defenses+anti-missile defenses are present and in quantity, depending on variation - up to 2 Goliath on the ground). There is only one comms control terminal in that kind of bases (L4), but can be up to 5 npc-ship defenders (depends on instance) with unlimited reinforcements. So I greatly recommend for the OP to wing up with someone .

Dude, that's what I just said

*edit*

That's a beautiful base, BTW. I can't wait to take one on

I recall that you're the guy who did all of these maps, BTW. They're fantastic. Good job!

Thanks, yep, the settlements are my specialty for the last year. And once I've tried to attack an L4 using solely an srv - after 2.1 update. But was not very successful on that way=)
