Okay, I finally beat... well celeberated the finish of I-War, I'm now into Edge of Chaos. I looked at this game briefly a few years ago, but didn't have the opportunity to get very far. Well, now I have, but I'm getting my bottom kicked (a lot). I'm into Act 1, which is a sort of freeform part of the game where you do some pirating and build up your rep, before being asked to join one of the clans. I've been asked to pirate some military firearms from a transpot ship near a military base in a sort of sub-mission called Gun- runner. I don't seem to dent the escorting cruisers before getting well and truly squashed. In general I can hold my own against one or two vessels of similar size to mine using the WASD keys to jink about, and I gather later in the game its possible to upgrade these thrusters and your ship in general, but at this point, I'm getting a bit tired of restarting the mission over and over after getting blatted. I thought having completed I-War things would be a bit more straightforward. Any advice - apart from getting a life, obviously. :)

It has been too long since I have played the game, but I know there are many guides out there that can help you out. Do a quick Google search and see what you find. You can always check gamefaqs.com, as well.

This mission wasn't a major one necessary to progress in the game, so it wasn't mentioned - and actually there seems to be quite a bit of detail missing. I did the Joint Forces mission, where you lead an assault on a marauder base protected by a Gunstar, and the guide tells you how to do destroy the base, but omits that if you then destroy the Gunstar there's a pile of valuable cargo you can then get Jafs to collect. It also doesn'`t mention what your reward from the Stepsons, is which is apparently an assault cannon and some ammo - but I can't find that in my inventory despite being told I'd been given it. :-/ The actual mission I was having trouble with I've now done, I just needed to wait until I had some more firepower, but at the time you are encouraged to undertake the mission, there's no way (at least at my skill level) you can beat the 3 cruisers protecting the fuel hauler. Which seems a slightly dodgy regarding the game's design. Still, I'm having a lot of fun with it though.
