"Deep: Interrogation: declined"

[Mighty Pancake]

What the heck am I suppose to do. Every time I do this it ends the same. How am I suppose to have done, so I can do the next mission? I have no idea how to make this work did I do something wrong in the previous mission of this line or what? As of right now I have no way of getting the emerald sword from what I can tell.

[Terin]

That's how that's supposed to work. "Missions" in Endless Sky that are just text on landing, like that interrogation, secretly end with them with you declining them, since there's no mission for you to actually do in space.

Anything that requires Deep: Interrogation requires that it's offered, not completed. So if you've seen it, you're good.

[Goose]

well you do have one way, you could cheat it into the game, just remove the declined string of missions

[Amazinite]

This mission has nothing to do with the Emerald Sword, and as Terin explained, it will always decline.

[tsingi]

Is that the one where they beat you up to see if you're an Alpha or not?

[Mighty Pancake]

It just seems incomplete from how it could be, and not to mention the only hint to the emerald sword is archeology so it leads me to believe there was some mistake on that mission or an earlier one that locks me out of getting said ship

Deep Interogration does get a follow up after you do Blockading the Devil.

Are you sure you aren't tripping up on a different stage for Archaeology? Make sure you finish TMBR up to bringing them to Hai space before you begin Rim Archaeology.

[Mighty Pancake]

I am not sure what stage I had it at... I did all the There might be riots I think after all the deep achealogy. Finally got a lead to another start of the rim Achealogy... But I think I figured out that it is the Beta branch I need to try and get the Emerald sword.

If you check the scripts, you will be surprised that many dead end quests(that does not have any follow ups after that) are designed to be only end by either failed or declined. I did surprised when I did in the first time as well. It seems that their code policy for the very end of the quest line is to make it decline or failed.

Also, Deep: Interrogation is just a follow up of Archaeology 6 mission. That's issued just because you finished(or like as me, cheated and had a label with 'deep archaeology 6: done') that. It just shows the reaction, and it does not have any other branch either.

Well I kept on finishing it thinking it was connected to a later quest, which in part it is, though not in a way I thought. I kept on thinking I was doing something wrong. Only to find out I had yet to do another quest line and that I had yet to start, also was another factor. I need the beta branch. Though scared to do it since it will over write all my work on modding my local files.

Need to learn to make a plugin so that all of the ships files, additional weapons and map modifications are saved.

Honestly I understand your feeling. The first reaction after check your saved games and see those 'decline' or 'failed' flag would be nothing but 'What the hell? Am I declined that quest?' You are not alone, and that's the reason why I have checked the script and see how it works.

[Mighty Pancake]

Well at this juncture I am looking how to make plugins with my additions that I have made so I don't have to work out how to make planets and weapons again. Though one quad blaster turret I made keeps evading me.

It's context dependent. Some missions will end in a "done," while others will end in a "declined," and invisible missions typically end in "failed." It's all a matter of what fits for the situation, as you only get a "done" condition if you ended the mission at the destination, but some "missions" are actually just one-off conversations that never give you any objective, so you never accept them and therefore never complete them, hence the "declined." Deep: Interrogation is one such "mission" that doesn't actually have an objective and therefore is never accepted.

So the city liscence one that you get post main missions that is suppose to give you the city ship liscence but you fail because there is no way to get it?

Thanks it seems reasonable. You can't accept something you didn't accepted at all....
