Looks like the Gambling Den mission has a problem....

[dmansail]

I keep going around on this racing track for over 10 min and always were more laps to go !!! Is it bugged ? Looks like it....

Is this the Timelines stuff? Are you actually hitting the rings? You don’t progress unless you actually go through the rings.

I think he's talking about the gambling den unlock at the HQ, I remember there being a trick to that mission, but I can't recall what it was.

I think that's the one where you need to get a certain time? Basically you're too slow, get faster. You can get the required time by using travel mode and not using boost.

[dmansail]

Travel mode you will never do it since has many turns. The problem is that you keep going with out knowing your status in the mission....how many laps , time per lap and so on , and which is the goal ... no is gambline Den mission - timelines i am not either think of playing that crap....

[Ruiner]

Travel mode is absolutely how you can do the mission with the minimum of effort. I know, because that's how I did it.

And yes it's stupid there is no indication of what time is required, how far off the time you are etc.

Go through a gate, if you can align in time for the next gate, turn off flight assist (so you can align faster), align to the gate and turn it back on.

If you can't align in time because the gates are close to eachother, turn off your travel drive (or engines all together if it's easy for you, putting them in reverse slows you down faster), align normally, turn on travel mode.

That's how I did it. The timing musn't be very tight, because I was quite lazy and slow and still managed to hit the target.

I think if you fail at it long enough it eventually ends anyway.

[dmansail]

YES, at least this one ends up pretty soon, but you loose a ship....

Yeah I think it does? I've never done it on the first attempt lol. You need to use travel drive where you can.

I built a Pegasus with TER engines and boosted my way to victory. Just did it a few days ago, no problem with that mission.

[dmansail]

Ter engines? They are the slowest ones...

[dmansail]

Something else , when they ask to find (Race) Habitation module what they mean ? I went and search for these modules but when i spent 3 EMP bombs to unlock them nothing happend to the mission. Also what is researh their leisure activities ?
Egosoft is very bad on mission briefing ....

They also have the fastest acceleration to top speed(both charge time and speed up), doesn't really make much difference in a fighter though, capitals though are very noticeable with their travel drives.

Normally you just need to fly close to any habitat module from the specified race and then the mission will advance to hte next step. It can be going to the bar and stick close to the target or scan a leak on a module (I think the leak appears with the mission steap).

Yes , but already i have all argon hab modules, and how about leisure habits?

Best boost per shield ratio, best travel drive. High top speed gets you nothing in this race.
