Tides Of Avarice End Mission Question (Spoilers)

[Beep]

Can I betray the Twins after accepting their offer? I am not in a position to destroy a station yet, and while I could just ignore actually making a decision until I am strong enough, I want to roleplay at least a little here, and IRL you can't just disappear from a conversation and come back months later.

I really don't want to have my few station assets destroyed by the Syndicate, but I also really don't want to side with the Twins if I can avoid it. Does the game allow me to betray them later, or do I get railroaded into staying on their side?

[Socrates]

I chose to betray the twins and I am not in the position to destroy a station too. To be frank in my save game the station itself would be the smaller problem but the syndicate has around 100 fighters swarming the station in question and I am far from having a fleet to fight those numbers.

But (to answer youe question): You have the possibility to pay the syndicate 15.000.000 credits to spare you.

You still have to destroy that station even after paying the 15mil.

Yeah, I'm not sure if the payment even does anything on it's own. My station was still attacked by a fleet when I tried that.

Oh boy, do the Twins make siding with them worth your while tho. If only they didn't ask me to do what they asked me to do after the quest was complete...

attack a station on the other side of the system, all fighters will fly over. now you can plant lasertowers and flee. after all towers have been destroyed, reaped. Thats how I did it with my hydra. the argon maintenance dock is really helpfull

No.
If u have not a fleet, you can drop 200 lasertower mk2 near station before last talk with twins, mark station is enemy after choose side, and it will be dead.

Oh you might be correct. I just tried to pay the Syndicate to leave me be. Turns out it just gives me +5 reputation. This may be enough to be safe if you just got the reputation penalty by the twins but if you where like me and started attacking all VIG ships in my systems this would not help...

Ooh, that's something I could actually afford to do. I keep forgetting that laser towers exist and are ridiculously exploitable

Oh yes! The satisfaction of not buying the DLC just resurfaced with news of another mission reward was in deed -15million.
Just who does that... LOL

Not sure why you're having issues with 15 million credits. It's not even the worst requirement for story missions. Base game is 1 B+ and Split is 500 M+.

Its just the most annoying mission chain imaginable isnt it lol personally i just let the teladi die and went off to work for the Terrans then i returned later and wiped all the sectors of all life and built my own stations much more satisfying lol
