: '''TAYLA'''
: '''TAYLA'''
: Some Confed patrols, but I've paid some major bribes to make sure you're left alone.

: '''TAYLA'''
: '''TAYLA'''
: You're taking a bigger risk keeping that artifact with so many willing to kill for it.  
: Nope, I save the really lucrative jobs for myself.

: '''PLAYER'''
: '''PLAYER'''

'''Secret Compartment (20 cargo units).''' The secret compartment is yours to keep. It will automatically be moved to your new ship should you buy another one after this point in the plot. It will allow you to keep up to 20 cargo units of contraband above and beyond what your cargo hold can carry. If you purchase 30 units of Brilliance, the first 20 are placed in your secret compartment and the other 10 overflow into your regular cargo bay. The oppo-site is not true. If you were to try to buy 60 units of grain for the ''Orion'' with no cargo expan-sion, it would fill the hold at 50 units and then report "no room on ship," as it won't over-flow into the secret compartment. Goods in the secret compartment will not be expelled into space if you try to jettison all cargo.

TAYLA - MISSION D

Summary This is yet another shipment of Brilliance to New Constantinople. This time, however, Tayla provides your ship with a secret compartment which will prevent your contraband from being detected. She finally promises to give you some information of substance about the artifact after this last mission. When you return, you learn that she has almost no information, but has arranged for you to meet with a mobster named Roman Lynch in the bar on New Constantinople. He is a collector of artifacts and a highly resourceful individual.
Payment 10,000 credits and the installation of a secret compartment.
Requirements Land at New Constantinople and return to Oakham.
Opponents As you leave Oakham, you are accosted by William Riordian (confident ace in a Centurion), a rival for work from Tayla. When he finishes his conversation (assuming you let him survive that long), three other pirates in the vicininty decide to join him in attacking you (fanatical pros in Talons). If you go to Nav 2 without eliminating Riordian, he will meet you there with five hostile pirates (again, fanatical pros in Talons). All other pirates you meet during this mission are friendly.
  • OK! Now you've gotten the secret compartment and you're all ready to go. Take your time. When you get to New Constantinople and drop off your contraband, go ahead and pick up some furs, wood or generic foods, and you can make a nice profit when you return to Oakham. - "Deetchman"

Secret Compartment (20 cargo units). The secret compartment is yours to keep. It will automatically be moved to your new ship should you buy another one after this point in the plot. It will allow you to keep up to 20 cargo units of contraband above and beyond what your cargo hold can carry. If you purchase 30 units of Brilliance, the first 20 are placed in your secret compartment and the other 10 overflow into your regular cargo bay. The oppo-site is not true. If you were to try to buy 60 units of grain for the Orion with no cargo expan-sion, it would fill the hold at 50 units and then report "no room on ship," as it won't over-flow into the secret compartment. Goods in the secret compartment will not be expelled into space if you try to jettison all cargo.

Scripted Encounters

Riordian upon launching from Pentonville

Notes

  • Watch out for Riordian. He is flying a Centurion, and he also has friends. The odds are not in your favor.
  • So after all that, Tayla isn't much help, you've become a criminal, and now you need to talk to the Mob Boss of Gemini Sector. So head back to New Constantinople and talk to Roman Lynch.

Mission : Tayla

Comments : on all of tayla's missions just afterburn past the patrols with a centurion, if you don't own a centurion i suggest that you take a break from the plot missions and earn enough to buy one.

Comments : you can easily afterburn past the patrols (or almost any enemy) with an orion too.

Comments : Got to 3rd base with Tayla. She's not nearly as sarcastic after she sees your ship and 'equipment.' Oh, that may be info she wouldn't like me tossing around. Forget I mentioned it.
