Thread: The Emperors Retreat
I know I should probably post this in the SWG general section but I really don't want to read bad info from others I know I will get the straight dupe from my fellow rangers.
Anyhow since I have spent a lot of my time leveling making cash etc I do not know much about these theme parks, being a Imp and spending most of my time on Naboo I was wondering where this theme park is, I know I am a bad ranger for not finding it yet, and how do these work. Do you have to run missions until you reach a ultimate reward? Do you get better faction points for doing these mission? None of the above it is just like doing missions from a Imp terminal? Thanks for any input but I am finally getting to the point whereI want to explore and see more of the game then just the leveling grind.
It is at the following location(one day I want to see the rebs from moenia try to raid it and get slaughtered by all of the atsts and troopers) 2400 -3900
The Emperor's retreat is at +2400 , -3900 on Naboo. The nearest city is Moenia, BUT it's held by rebels, so don't shuttle into it overt.
To do any missions you have to be Imperial, covert is fine. For the missions themselves, you need to do five each for NPCs in order. The first is Chamberlain Kaja Or'Zee thenInquisitor Loam Redge, Lord Hethrir, Captain Thrawn, Colonel Veers, The Emperor, and finally Darth Vader. You cannot even enter the Retreat itself until you have done Kaja's missions.
Most of the missions are simple 'delivery' type missions where you need to go and speak to someone and that's it. Several of them say you have to escort that person back,and once you've talked to them they will follow you, however it doesn't seem to matter if they die.
There are a few 'kill soandso' missions, many of these are soloable (to a Pistoleer anyway), all of them are easy to a Pistoleer and Doctor/CM duo with the exception of the Fambaa mission which saw me Mind incap'd both times at about 10% to go, although Eleanor easily finishedthem off.
The most dangerous thing about doing the missions is the high density of agro NPCs about, keep an eye on that radar 8-)
A few of the missions involve shooting rebels, if you're covert you will get a temporary TEF, only lasts 5 minutes or so. Depending how thorough you want to be (ie just kill the target or kill all his friends too), you'll drop 100 to 200 Rebel faction doing then entire Theme Park, easy to get back running Rebel deliveries in Moenia (mission terminal is next to the Cantina, opposite the Starport) if you want to keep that at zero (no point being a spy if the enemy kill you on sight 8-) ).
For the rewards for the missions you usually get faction points and an item. The item is generally completely useless (broken binoculars, CDEF weapons etc), although the Emperor does give you two bracelets which both Eleanor and I treasure and wear with pride. Vader does give you credits for completing the first few of his missions. Some rewards seem to be broken and you receive nothing even though you're told you do.
The faction you get out of the Emperor's Retreat is fairly reasonable, however there is no 'static' recruiter there nor one in the nearest city as it's Rebel held. There is an 'Imperial Medic' droid that I've seen about now and then that acts as a recruiter, but that's not always there, so in order to spend your faction points you have to travel to another city (eg Theed). Eleanor had to do this as she hit her current faction point cap (she'd only just turned Imperial and so had the 1000 point limit) and I couldn't find the Medic. One promotion later and all was well again though 8-)
Unfortunately the ending seems to be bugged at the moment. Once you finish Vader's missions (which is basically the end of the Theme Park) he tells you to go to the Emperor for more missions, however the Emperor still gives his standard 'You've done all my missions, go see Vader' text. I was rather hoping to get a badge out of it 8-) Both Morn and Eleanor had the same problem at the end.
Morn
. Thats why I posted here.
Wolf,
I've ran a few of the missions before. I didn't get that far because my pistol skills were not up high enough, and I ended up getting myself killed. If you want to group and head down there, just let me know. It might be a little easier to do the missions with a partner.
