Scenario Invaders Vs Defenders Mission help for Trader start on Taldor

[Irondog]

Anyone play this scenario where you start as a Polaris Ally and can make a killing as a trader. It's a fun scenario I've got like 4 million from trading but I'm stuck on the second freaking mission. It's the one where you scout three different ore deposits. The mission never completes. I went to the area which is marked on the map where the ore deposit was, hung around for a few, killed a few spiders..Nothing. Must be another bugged mission.

Can I have your money if you get kilt? Just kidding lolol

You need to borrow a million? No problem. If you haven't checked out that Scenario it's a good play thru if you like to trade and get tired of mining ores. It's a moon start and it's raining meteorites left and right. You can buy the base ores planet side or go to space.
I was buying Sathium, erestrum and zascosium :D

Thanks for the tip.

I played the scenario for a while when 1.4. (Solo game)
I remember that I need to be very close to trigger/finish mission in the scenario.
(Less than 5 meters, maybe less than 2 meters)

I don’t know if it’s the same when 1.5

Is that the one you defend the trader poi right at the start? I have done that one. There is another one where you start in a big base and get demolished before you figure out defense and ammo lol

I start in a big base, shot down a drone. (I don’t know why I have laser rifle and 700 laser ammo when beginning)
Soon I find that I cannot build or dig anything,
I walk a long way to leave the area which controlled by that base,
so that I can produce a motorbike.....
(Solo game)

Thank you for the replies and yes that is the one where you defend the Polaris actually which are the traders that you spawn right next. I agree the area they control is large and the limitations they have in their area suck. I couldn't even move a misplaced generator in their territory.

Haven't tried the defend the base scenario. I thought the trader scenario was fun with limits. Another thing is you can't warp back to the starting planet once you leave. It's a one way street that sucks too but you can teleport back to the planet.

The defend Polaris my first go, the Z`s blew the trader station all to hell lol. Before I could figure out to dig a hole and snipe em, I had died a few times. Ok then, several times;) I`m not a great player. When the in game actions begin to get frantic, I can`t keep up
