Yup, the Wiccan race.

Well, I don't think you can hover because its on the planet surface - I 
landed and waited a few days, which seemed a bit daft, not to mention 
counter-productive.



Anyway, I eventually decided to go straight there from the beginning of 
the game. I've now done the stolen artwork one too - I don't know 
though.... as an Amiga Frontier player that felt a bit cheated that we 
never got the promised Amiga FFE, the hand coded missions represented 
the holy grail. But now that I'm playing them, it seems there's a lot of 
messing about to even catch the window of opportunity to do them, and 
then when you do do them, its like "okay, then...."

I appreciate I'm hardly a veteran, but from what I've read they are all 
over fairly quickly and apparently even the big Thargoid type stuff 
lacks a certain satisfaction. 

I actually think I might enjoy it more just playing the game and 
ignoring the hand-coded missions.  :)
