OK, I started the Y-8 Quests yesterday. I was hoping to be able to either find a workaround on the forums, or figure one out by using some of my Starnge Logoc ( hey, it's worked before, LOL).

So I get to the same part where everyone doing the quests now has the problem. You CANNOT GET THE MISSION TO START IN KASH SPACE !!

So I come home and re-read the walkthough. Guess what? It says " Go to Ksh. Space." Then, at the end of the mission, it says "JUMP back to Kash Space". ????? Whats up with this?

You're ON Kash talking to Captain Kol, you launch into space, you are IN Kash Space when you launch. Why would you, after the mission, have to Jump Back to Kash to land?

Something is not right here.

To JUMP back, you have to JUMP out. To where? If you're already in Kash Space, you don't need to JUMP anywhere. If you don't JUMP anywhere, you don't JUMP back.

Somthing what is missing.

Is the place you go to to start the mission a Jump Point? Are you supposed to "Jump" to Kash Space Hyperspace Point? If so, why? It's not that far, why wou;ld you jump there?

My REAL question is this: SOMEONE has completed this mission. Someone has the Y-8 Mining Ship. Please, tell me what the problem is here.

I don't think the problem is the Walkthrough. It may be, but it doesn't seem like it. The only discrepency is this Jump buisiness that is mentioned. What is supposed to trigger the mission.

If it worked before ( and I know it did, I've seen the ships being piloted by players on Bria.) Why doesn't it work now? It can't be that hard to fix, like adding a blasted START line to the code. Unless it was nerfed on purpose. If so, again, why? These are not the best pleasure ships in the game. If everyone got them, they wouldn't all be flying them.

And something else occurs to me: Of those that finished the missions, what was your Pilot Levels? Are you supposed to be Master Pilot? I don't think that's it either, because of where the Cirt. for the Y-8 is. I looked on the KSWG Prof. Calc. ( I can't play the game at my computer at home, and the Cirt is in the Novice Box of the Rebel Alliance fighter Prof. But it's NOT IN THE NEUTRAL TREE AT ALL!

Either that's a typo in the Profession Calculator Program, or it's a problem in the Game. Why would only Rebs be able to fly a Damn Mining Ship? Thats crazy.

Someone who can access the game now, please look and see in the threes on the game and post here. If thats the case, it has to have been removed. If it is the case, PUT IT BACK, there are alot of people that are supposed to be flying that ship that can't.

Sometimes, you end up on the other side of the Quadrant... it can save you a whole bunch of time, if you just Jump back to the Neutral Territories and POP! You're now 4000 - 5000 meters away from the space station instead 15000 - 20000 or more...

KSWG Prof Calc is not accurate. It hasn't been updated since the CU came out, and the game obviously HAS been updated since then. About only thing it is accurate with is the cost of skill points needed for the various profession skill boxes. Hence its name, "Profession Calculator" ... not Certification Calculator.... Certifications for a lot of things have been moved around since the CU, especially weapons.
