Help Fighters sm changes and bugs

[chancesz]

Im somewhat new to the game and just reached mizar. Now at the Help Fighters sm and from what i see in the wiki im given 1 minute to collect the e canister and 1 minute to go back. Ive tried the quest many times now but i keep running out of time. Looking at the quest tab and checking the time as i do the mission it only gives me one minute to go back and forth adding whatever was left over the previous delivery. Im not sure if this is part of the "rebalancing" but its just not enough time.

Was it ever like that before the sept 14 change? If it was then i guess i cant solo this.

Also im getting a looooot of exp just doing deliverys. I noticed after my 2nd fail that the exp bar was already over half. Did a 3rd run and my exp after failing is more than 90% now.

the wiki is sadly not up to date,

I try my best, but a lot of things get changed etc.

Here's a bit of advice, learn the layout as that will help you get to the locations with ease, don't stop for anything as that will waste valuable seconds and have the top Baumar collector and afterburner (or the rare versions if you have them), having the top collector will save you some seconds when you pick up the canister and the afterburner is vital in this mission, make sure you use it.

I have top baumar collector and it doesnt help much. still takes about 10 secs to load. and i memorized the way to and from base. there really isnt much time. do it and you wil see what i mean.

Believe me, I have done it several times

Best advice is to get the best AB and the Collector to be really fast, try to get someone to help u from outside to kill the mantis on your way, it has been this way always and it has been managed to do within the timely manner.
As told learn the routes to each camp the fastest way, and learn to use the AB on right time, that will help you a lot.
If you do not have the best AB, you are most likely to fail in timely manner, and the best collector is a huge + to it.

Take it this way, you get huge advantage with the xp of this sm, so it is not a bad thing, you get experience to time missions, and you actually will learn a lot with that what will help you in future missions.
Don't give up even if you got to do it 20 times, believe me, so many has done this mission that way.
The reward in the end when you succeed is priceless, you will see the inner feeling, you will be proud of yourself, and you will get more smart for future missions.

I am sure that 90% of the players has failed that mission many many times before they completed it.
I also have seen when I done, have shot at 1 mantis or so in a camp, and the Baumarian fighters shoot at same, it drops a gold bp many times, that I go collect after the mission.
BP's remains 4 min on the ground before they disappear.

Finally I recommend you do it solo, not in squad, that will make it much harder.
Now Good luck and have fun

and now for some very irresponible help:

I did this mission in 1 go, I was level 33 or lower...

That should tell you I used a gemini ship, (yes, I was with a GC-4 on Molikar, and it owned!)

The best ship for this mission is the shock, Speed Actuator just makes this mission so much easier,

another problem I have seen with Mizar ships on this mission is the Afterburner, it's baumar, not molikar and won't work well But with a Dual Fusion Afterburner, you will have a great AB for a GC ship.

So 2 tips:

* Gemini Ship
* Shock

if it gets hard, use an aggrobeacon, stun dome and charge will still work on baumar etc.

 

[chancesz]

did u do it after the changes...

Keep the map open. Use the up arrow key to go forward and the mouse to change the camera angle to steer. Ignore mantis. Look for easy straight aways to use your ab so you don't get hung up on walls.

It is a matter of ab'ing out at some point and, ab'ing back at some point to reduce the travel time. And ignore the mantis.

 

[chancesz]

Nvm, did it. Just had to do over and over again till mission gave me routes that didnt include the farthest outpost.

I'm glad to hear you managed to do it, I would please request the players to really try out the missions more times before posting about it at the forum.
If you feel there is a glitch or a bug, please file a proper bug report ticket.
