@@Keevanus According to the timer on the website IAE ends in 2 hours and 45 minutes at the time of me writing this reply. Also there are several people around who really do have a Polaris, either because they bought it or because they still got some time left on their rental.
Well considering you could hire any ship in the game last week I’d say it was helpful for people who wanted to do it. Also if you just buy one and stop being so tight you could do it too.
Yeah that’s true, very chaotic event. It’s a kamikaze mission anyhow even if you can make it close enough because the Tali won’t survive a size 9 explosion that close either. One way trip!
Interesting. I might try that tactic out if I find the time. Completed phase 3 a few days ago the "traditional", aka painful, way. I have two Polaris even, one I bought and one as a loaner for the Idris-P.
This wasn’t the cleanest run because the idris started spinning fast. If you can get above it match its movement and cleanly place the nose of the Polaris into the bridge. We did a couple really clean. Really depends on the server haha. As with everything in SC.
I did it once properly not for the lack of trying. It was seriously frustrating. Took me about 3 hours with random people. And then I used this cheese on my following 2 attempts. And then my friend wanted to do it. So we tried to do legit a few times and eventually we just cheesed his 3 required. Now we’re on phase 4 where nearly all the cargo elevators are broken so can’t retrieve required materials haha. 🤣 Good luck friend.
You said three times.? What do you mean by that?? I've done one cargo mission and one protection mission. Still on the Idris phase 3 mission though. Are you saying I have to do each of them 3x for a total of 9 successful missions or....?
Each phase has a number of completions required. Phase 3 is 3 full idris kills. Phase 4 is 6!!! Phase 1 was 6 and I’m sure phase 2 was 6 too. Look in your journal to see your completions.
I am having trouble getting this to work. Do you just need to get the nose touching the bridge? Do you have to push inside with the clipping? (How do you do that?). Finally anything special with the torps? They are dumb fired right? So no target lock? Thanks for the help.
Dumb fire yeah. Nothing special there. I’ve done it about 5 times. And each time slightly different position. For me I always used the bridge of the Polaris to clip into the bridge of the idris. But really the torp bay is a little lower so you’re trying to get the bay to be as close to the bridge as possible. Might take a couple of tries to find the position. In the end I was able to get it down to about 3 mins. Sometimes easier depending on the idris movement. Sometimes it was like that scene in interstellar trying to match movement haha.
Aye it does. The idris was fresh it’s actually just sitting ideal without shields when you first arrive. It shields up when aggroed. In my experience. Did you get it done?
yes very easy! you just need a polaris, which OFC!!! everybody got
😂😂 true. But with IAE you can rent one. I should have said that.
Do you not have one?
@@citizenspooner i mean..no offense bro..but IAE is over and most ppl dont have 1000D for a spaceship....fug i dont have 10D for a Pizza.^^

ahhhhh yes the easy cheese requirering a 1000 dollar ship yes thanks very helpful....

Well anyone who has the mission active, will get it completed if just one of us Polaris owners does this.
Wonder if a size 9 from a Tali will work? Think I’ll give that a go tonight.
Well worth trying. I don’t think it’s torp specific I think it’s more about sending a torp into the bridge lol.
One reason it might not work is you might get blown up before getting close lol. Polaris has a little more health haha.

@@citizenspooner Indeed, thanks again for this creative approach.
Hours wasted but now i will try that and tell you how it worked.

Thanks man, so many times our contract got withdrawn during mission but it worked for me :))

Alright! I will keep trying. I noticed in your example the idris was already damaged and shields down. Does this work on a fresh Idris?
Aye it does. The idris was fresh it’s actually just sitting ideal without shields when you first arrive. It shields up when aggroed. In my experience. Did you get it done?
The game won't even let me equip a ball turret on my F7C. No way I'm gonna even attempt to do this mission 3 times
Yeah good shout. I think they locked the ability to swap weapons on the hornets atm haven’t they?
