I find that story missions in pirate galaxy, for example "Project Detonation" in Gemini, or "Operation Weakpoint" are nearly impossible without the correct ship, that being a tank. I've tried "Operation Weakpoint" multiple times, but have had no luck so far, seeing that I continually keep on dying and not being able to materialize my self due to my lack of gold for energy. Anyone have any suggestions on these types of missions?

Squad* mate , with your clan mates (if your in a clan) or u just can ask for help from other ppl who fly in the orbit....and there are missions where u dont actually need a in-squad help but an escort will be good enough wich means a high lvl player can just follow u and clean you road ^^ try it before getting really annoyed, we all been there. gl

Best way is to squad with an engineer, outside help and escort to kill the non mission mantis is a great add.
Both missions are best in a squad of 2.

Good Luck!
:cool:

Gemini turret / mizar bunker missions I find not to hard, execpt in Gemini where the bomb is hidden underneath the turrets (and my lagg doesnt update target list quick enough).

*** SPOILER ALERT ! ***
I hope this is allowed to post ?

1/2 in sq...
Know the safe spots on planet, fly about and see where manits types are living... How DS flies etc...

The missions:
Go to first target in engy if possible with speed drone active...
(If there is a second player he/she stays in orbit, the more in sq the less time available for the mission itself)
Activate the spawn of mantis by going towards target and reverse when you see them apear...
Make sure ab and shield are available now or ina view seconds...
Let the mantis disperse a bit so not all grouped around the target...
Hit the shield button and fly towards the target. Get close but not on top.
Find the bomb (i do visuably) and select it, hit E and ab to a know safe location, this is E field nearby ^^
If you dont find the bomb in 4 seconds hit repair droid, dont pod if you cant see it just ab away to written safe spot...
After detonation of first target, go towards the second target inmidiatly through safe spot, making the mantis apear and then go back to e field to "cool" your shield and ab. In the mean time the mantis will disperse again ^^
My vission is not so great (I need a binoculair to see anything) so I zoom in with my mouse scroll wheel to look for the bomb beter :)

Enjoy all targets with 4 minutes spare in Gemini with 2 in sq and in Mizar with 1 minute spare solo :)

I think Engy is best as the protector ignores the paralizers stun. As far as I know the shield of tank will be penetrated by the stun of a paralizer...

If two people fly together in squad they will need to be at same point near target to make the bomb apear ^^

At least it is good to see that some missions are not easier then we know them in old times. At least it gives an little "advantage" for some ships in the systems to have it easier in the Story. For example Gemini is an Engineer System where you need at last one Engineer to have it easy and since the Engi get the Stun resistance by his protector last year he have it much easier in this case due all of the paralyzors and Ds which crawl at the system.

Mizar itself is an mixture of Tank and Engineer System + some Storm. In the end the Missions whit the turrets and the Bunkers are nearly the same just whit an difference in the amount of spawned units but the strategy is the same. I for myself have done it so that i have activated my Protector fly to the tower/bunker and used my AB to fly next to it waiting for 1 second to set the bomb and then to AB away from the spot so that the aggro does disable. Then i "TAB" through the targets until i see the bomb and scan it done is the theme.

In Mizar this is an bit more difficult cause it gives there not much save spots where you can hide if you no one have outside of the sq who holds you an clear area free of mantis but the strategy is nearly the same i have used. But the special condition in Mizar is that after an amount of the time 2 or 3 waves comes to the 1st one so that an enormus amount of Mantis units could stay around the bunker what makes the "TAB"ing an bit more difficult.
