Upon launching you'll find the transport in the area with Retro forces closing in. They'll come in two waves of 3 Talons. Take them out, then autopilot towards Nav 1. You'll have to wait some time for the transport to reach the jump point since it is so slow.

WC:CIC Game Guide

Description

Masterson still hasn't located his friend so while he does, you need to fly a fifth mission for him. Yet another cargo mission.

Objectives

Transport cargo of artwork to Perry Naval Base. Land, then return to Oxford.

Scripted Encounters

"Unknown" forces upon entering Perry system

Notes

  • The unknown ships in Perry system are fast but don't have much firepower. They don't respond to any communications for the time being, you'll have to keep guessing who they could be. They shouldn't prove much of a challenge for you though.
  • When you get back to Oxford, Masterson gives you your pay, but unfortunately his friend isn't willing to see you until you gain a few more recommendations. You are now left to find a few employers and you can fly for them in whichever order you choose, however for this guide we'll start with our old friend Lynn Murphy. You can find her on Edom, an agricultural planet in the New Constantinople system.
