There is something big circling Kinesi 5 with high velocity. It is impossible to keep up in normal cruise. I am trying to enter its gravity field but I keep failing. There are also a lot of angry pirates that are killing me
Can you do the "Mitterand Hollow" trick - rather than trying to catch up with it, get ahead of it in its orbit and let it come to you?
Good luck - I'll be there myself in a couple of hours.
Looking for 25 escape capsules btw. Any tips?
Option 1: safe, but slow - drive around on planet surfaces looking for mid-band signals on the wave scanner. It'll take you a while to get 25, because most mid-band is cargo rather than pods, but you'll get there eventually.
Option 2: less safe, but faster - rescue them from the megaship wreck near Luchtaine 1 - there's an escape hatch near the front you can hatchbreak, though it takes a while.
Option 3: decidely unsafe, but theoretically fastest - rescue them from one of the Unauthorised Installations at Kojeara 4, Carcosa CD2 or Ogmar B4. One of the cargo holds has a lot of them, plus slaves to rescue.
Option 4: decide that Etienne Dorn is really creepy and doesn't deserve escape pods no matter how many shiny blueprints he has.
