- Dock at: Entertainment District
Talk to: Jimee Tomson
Talk to: Neyl Colburn
Heading back to DeVries at this time will cause a rep loss to -15 with the Argon Government which is enough to prevent docking, trade and missions but not enough that they will shoot on sight. This does not apply to visiting Albion via the TTO or other DLC sectors. The restriction also does not apply to any <player> owned assets like traders.
Start exploring Omicron Lyrae placing trade agents on the various stations. If the TTO DLC is owned and not already explored now would be a good time to do so by taking the Jump Gate south of Drippy Ascent. The R&D Chem Lab in The Great Basin and Licenced Distillery in Ratfish Waters are good places to hire personnel due to having several large platforms which may be useful if the <player> wants to start boarding Lyramekron and Sanahar trade ships from the Heretic Vanguards. In Murky Skies be wary of the heavily armed Heretic Vanguards Licenced Distillery which usually has an Olmekron patrolling nearby (there are several forum threads about destroyed assets if stations are built in this zone).
If the DLC sectors have not been visited then this will be the first time the <player> will encounter Xenon ships (both for missions and free flying), these usually have upgraded versions of conventional ship weapons. if engaging Xenon kill Xenon Ps first since they deal shield penetrating damage. Due to the high hull strength and shield penetration, the Xenon P may be the only light fight craft worth keeping as an asset.
When in Relocating Stones go west of the 2 stations and use the Long Range Scanner to find a Unique Lockbox containing the Incomprehensible Script of the Ancient Relic Collection.
In Pearly Shore at the JSS TechnoCore Hi-E I dock and follow the markers to talk to Jimee Tomson. He mentions that the Jonferco CEO Colburn wants to find some old friends in Albion and offers some "upgrades" to "sweeten the deal". This is the second of 3 opportunities to get a 40% discount on software including Mk3 engines which should already be inferior to what is owned. After speaking to the mechanic return to the Albion Skunk. Once again Yisha will comment about upgrades. After flying around for a while Yisha mentions that CEO Colburn is in another sector. Follow the markers to Commerce Core, upon entering the sector a distress call will be heard starting the Commerce Core Disturbance sub-mission.
Commerce Core Disturbance
- Fly to: Last Stand
Follow the markers to Last Stand where Yisha will comment on Xenon where 2 Ks and an assortment of 6+ small Xenon Fight craft will be encountered. An Arawn jumps in to help on top of the local patrolling Fulmekron and Vice Admiral Bayes talks about Xenon hacking the systems of the Albion Skunk and gives a patch. The HIVI/MA Turrets on the XEN K appear to be disabled from targeting the Albion Skunk.
Bug: The Xenon Ks spawned here are boardable (version ???).
Omicron Lyrae
Head to a crater in the upper (z axis) south east side of Core Dig in Last Stand for a Unique Lockbox containing Kha'ak Crystalline Scale of the Kha'ak Relic Collection.
Bug: Parts of Core Dig may sometimes not load.
