Its the mission where you have to hijack a cargo ship, something like that. To cut down on legal trade so their ask for her services more, for the tier 2 boxes.


When i get to the ship, tie fighters are guarding it. I wipe them out and then go after the cargo ship. In the log it says diable the ships engines.


Well how do you do that? I kept shooting it, till I saw no fire coming out the back of its engines, and yes it had clearly stopped so I assume its engines were dead. Nothing. No mission complete, nothing. So I carry on shooting it, it blows up, mission failed.


So what the hell are you suppose to do?


Help

Thanks.

Disabling a ship isa skill which needs to be mastereed early if you plan on solo-ing or small group hunting big prey (Vettes, Gunships, etc.) Starfighters only have engines and reactors that are specifically targetable, but larger ships (POBs, Gunships) have exposed guns that can be blown off. Capitol Ships (Vette) has shield generator and the like that are targetable.


Steps to Disable:



  1. target the enemy ship like normal.
  2. use [ or ] to cycle through the subcomponents until you find the one you want (guns, engine, reactor). NOTE: Engines are usually better targets than reactors because theenemy will slow as damage is applied to it's engines.
  3. attack the enemy until it's shields and armor are gone. Further damage will be applied directly to the targetted subcomponents.
  4. once the engine/reactor is gone you will get a system message that your target has been disabled.

For a capture/dock mission you can now proceed as normal. Moving in close and waiting (capture) or using the /dock command (dock).

In some cases, to trigger the mission flag and proceed, you need to disable both reactor and engines. It will be clear when you get it correct, as the mission message will appear.
