Elite / Frontier Rast!!!!

Sick of this now.... I've even tried CHEATING :eek: to complete this.


Going back through FFE now all with the Russian MOD, but Killing RAST is impossible. I've reloaded back to before taking the offer 6 or 7 times, and each one of those times I've reloaded at Lowing on Valhalla 3-6 times.

The tiger takes off and either goes
1. Straight into the ground:
2. Through the ground, up and back into it:
3. Or flies off then into the ground.

I've shot it down several times by taking off with it and shooting the hell out of it with lasers and missiles at very close range.

I get credited onsite by the locals with murder, even if it crashes when i'm still in spaceport, but I never get the DONE in my commander logs.

I've now taken to using buffet (sick of watching all my kills mount up then disappear as I have to reload back to a measely low competent kill rating) I accept the mission, forward time to a little before mission time, fly to the system to wait out my last couple of days and still the same.


Oh what am I to do? leave the mission and wait till the one for killing RAST's assassin comes up:S:S:S:S:S

You could use JJFFE just until he's taken off and left his hyperspace cloud, then load the save up in D3DFFE and carry on.
There are a few bugs with D3D, but all the story missions worked fine for me in JJFFE.

Didn't work :(

going to go back, accept the mission in jjffe and save, use d3d and see if that works.

If it doesn't work, then accept and complete the mission in JJFFE.

Out of interest, are you jumping out of the system after your kills (as in making a clean getaway) or sticking about to see if it updates. If you're sticking about, try heading back to the base you took the mission from and see if that works.

Thought that would work. For most assassinations you should return to where you got the mission to pass it, IIRC.

Good to know it worked out.

Ah but it didn't. I got acknowledged and paid, but the news papers never reported the assasination of Rast! they reported other dealings with him. I even went into jjfe accepted the mission, went to site and sat there with star dreamer on until he took off to try and completed in jjfe (crap graphics :p) and still didn't show as completed :mad:


Now going to play on a couple of months and accept the mission from elsewhere closer to completion time and see if that works.
