Kill Pirate Lord

[bdipauly]

I know this has been touched on before but I just want to clarify that I am not doing something wrong and that I not missing an important part of the game. I have the "Kill Pirate lord" mission, that I received from a bulletin board.

It does not tell you where to go but does allude to the fact that he may be close by as the mission is given to you by local security.

Now... if it's just a case of having to fly and look, that's cool. I can do do that and even enjoy it. But... I am just concerned that I am spending hours to do this when I am not supposed to do. Is there some other way of tracking these things?

Thanks in advance. Awesome game.

Sorry I cant be much help other than to say I too am stuck on the 3 bulletin board missions. I flew about a bit, went to another planet and another star to try to attempt them but I never found the pirate lord.

 

[bdipauly]

Yeah I find it both awesome and very odd that he could be anywhere and you "stumble" across him. Seems unlikely.

I have the mission as well. Considering you can finish a transport cargo mission in one jump and get 3.5k+ which take only a few minutes... these convoluted hunt missions are not nearly lucrative enough.

Not entirely true: they can be 2 jumps (Azeban - iBootis - Aulin) and you have to go back to the mission giver for your money.

Other than that... doesn't sound inviting to go and chase the Pirate Lord. Sounds like chasing a ghost.

This would be a good side mission if it wasn't timed - something you can stumble across when you're already in the system, doing something else.

OP.. I think you need to go back to where you got the mission to cash it in

Was the pirate lord difficult and where did you find him?

 

[MajSmack]

Yes, do tell .. I've been searching , my time bout to run out

? The OP does not say they found the pirate lord.

Ya stuck on this mission as well.

Lol, I was confused by that too.

 

[Nictuku]

So this mission is essentially a glitch?

 

[blacky75]

not sure it's a glitch... it's just... incomplete in information, or way to badly rewarded to take care of. I took it too, just in case... would be crazy stumble on him, w/o having the mission enabled anyway....

"HEY, Wait damn! STAY here, BE RIGHT BACK!!!!! DO NOT MOVE!!!! Need to enable the mission, BRB"

 

[Daffan]

Doesn't exist guys. Just pick up the mission and pray he arrives or you see him lmao

i killed the pirate "lord" once, the first day i was playing Beta.
Its one of the pirates that "interdicted" you while supercruising.
I've seen and get the quest a bit later, and thought as i found him once, i will find him twice i was wrong
I've been looking for him through many "unidentified signals" and never met him again.
But i think named pirates is a little "well known" group of a few tens members, as we always fight against the same pirates, named : "doolittle" ... and so on.
They can be met in different places : Unidentified signal sites, extraction sites, and during interdictions.
hth.

In order for this type of quest to work (as will all targeted bounties), an indication of where to looks in needed. "last seen raiding traders around Assilus prime" would let you know where to go and search for signals.

How the authorities could know where is the pirate lord ? If we can not go towards the pirate, let the pirate come to us ... (for example, fill in our cargo bay with goods ....)

My cloak is working....regards The Pirate lord himself

Hey commanders,

I got 2 differents mission "hunt pirate lord" ;one was taken in eranin: they talk about "associate of mine" so i checked my galaxy map, guess it was in LP 98-132 (nearest extratcion system) and when i arrived at freeport (the station of lp98132) they gave me the second one: there is less info on this one so it may be in this system ....


But so far, i was unable to find him.

(Sorry for my poor english).

There's a video somewhere on youtube of the Pirate Lord being killed. Sorry cant provide a link as I only had a quick look since I'm not that far enough into the game yet.
