  • Before you take off, save your game.
  • Take off, cycle through your targets until you find the cargo ship named "Arms Shipment," and then send it the "Let's get going" comm signal.
  • When the cargo ship jumps, DON'T jump with it. It is programmed to go to Karatikus. Once you tell it to get going, it will head there on its own, regardless of what you do, and it has about a 50% chance of making it there alone.
  • Hang around in Crius local space until you get the mission success or failure e-mail.
  • If you succeed, land on Crius and collect your reward. If you fail, land on Crius, reload your save game and try again.
