continues it's pursuit.
Take the Jump Gate to the Magellan System
The Jump Gate still works, take it and get out of here
Fly to Freeport 4
Destroy the Bounty Hunters
These Bounty Hunters want the price on your head, defend yourself!
Fly to Mactan Base
Mactan Base is located deep in this field. It is the secret home of the
Lane Hackers
Dock with Mactan Base
----------------------------

While in Benford, you'll find out from a broadcast that, just as King told you, you and Juni is now the #1 enemy of Liberty (well, maybe not #1, but...). You're wanted for murder, Artifact smuggling, treason, and the destruction of Freeport 7 and now you have a 1 million bounty on your head. Quite an impressive list, if
I might say so myself! Bad thing is that just about every Bounty Hunter in the colonies will be after you.

Liberty ships is detected... looks like they've caught up with you. They won't leave no matter what Van Pelt says. You'll launch to space automatically. Once there, you'll be yet again asked to surrender. Yeah, right.

Defend Benford Station, it says... well, you can try, but I advised you to just dodge enemy fires using the same tactic like last time, short burst of afterburn use and crazy flying. 3 Cruisers will arrive very soon and they'll obliterate
Benford Station! Time to run. Activate Cruise engine and head to the waypoint, which is a location of the Jump Gate to the Magellan System, given to you by
Van Pelt earlier.

Luckily for you, the enemies doesn't go and follow you. Once you're at the Jump
Gate, which is still working, thank God, dock with it. You're now in Magellan.
Your destination for now is Freeport 4, head there. It doesn't look like you'll be getting there anytime soon, as you're stopped by a large group of Bounty
Hunters. They'll ask you to surrender, but again... yeah, right.

Fire, dodge and run, fire, dodge and run. That's a very good tactic for now. As things look grim, you'll be saved by, of all people... the Lane Hackers! They'll even the odds, so now, if you have a good supply of shield batteries and also nanobots, and feel the urge to fight instead of run, feel free to join in the battle, but don't overdo it. When all else fails, dodge and run is a good tactic while your allies battle it out.

Once the Bounty Hunters are done with, the Lane Hackers will upload a waypoint to their base. Follow it. Once you arrived at Mactan Base and objective says dock, dock with it.

================================================
MISSION
================================================
OBJECTIVE:
With Liberty behind you the only place left to go is home. Go meet back up with your old friend Tobias on Planet Leeds.

DIFFICULTY:
It should be smooth sailing from here on out, but don't let your guard down.

REWARD:
Your life.
================================================

----------------------------
New Objective:
Meet Juni in space outside Mactan Base
Juni will be launching from Mactan shortly. Wait for her.
Destroy the Rheinland Assault Wing
Rheinlanders attacking a Lane Hacker Base? Take out the Rheinland Assault
Wing before they inflict any further damage!
Fly to the Leeds Jump Hole alone
Juni is on her way to Cambridge to search for answers. Go to Planet Leeds and meet up with Tobias
Take the Jump Hole to the Leeds system
Fly to Planet Leeds
Dock with Planet Leeds
Meet Tobias in the Leeds Equipment Shop
----------------------------

Just a few moments after your launch, Mactan Base will be attacked by a
Rheinland Assault Wing. These Rheinlanders seem to be everywhere...

Anyway, with the help of Juni and the other friendlies there, take them out.
It's about time you get to kick some ass after the running all these while.
After you've taught them a lesson and sent them to the scrap yard, Juni will tell you that it's better if you and her split up for now. She's heading to
Cambridge to look for some answers.

You, on the other hand, can head to your home... Leeds. There's a Jump Hole heading to Leeds nearby that is marked by a waypoint, head there and use it.
You're now in the Leeds system, and quite near to Planet Leeds, your final destination, for now. Follow the waypoint and get to Planet Leeds and once there, dock with it using the Docking Ring.

Once you're on Leeds, it's time to meet your old friend, Tobias, who's at the Leeds Equipment Shop (he's the owner). After some conversation, he'll tell you to head to Planet New London and get a new ship there. He'll also supply you with... 25,000 (TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND!!!) Credits! That's like more than the total amount Juni (and the LSF) pays you since your first mission with them! I guess it's time to take back all you've said when the 7000 credits mission is aborted because of the incident at Planet Manhattan that is one of the reasons that cause you to be on the run from Liberty. Well, your current mission is done. Mission successful.

----------------------------
Mission Result: Success
You have advanced to Level 8
----------------------------

================================================
MISSION 04 ENDED
================================================

Same old, same old, for now. Gain one level before you'll get on with the story.
This time, after you level, Juni will request for you to meet her at Planet
Cambridge, Cambridge. Take your time doing your stuff and only go when you're fully ready.

You don't actually need to buy a new ship in Planet New London. To tell you the truth, the type of ships on sale in Planet New London is exactly the same as the one on sale at Planet Leeds. If you're wondering about Tobias's words, there is no price difference either.

If I were you, I'll head to Planet New London in New London anyway, because 1 box (of NAV Map) to the left of it is Battleship Suffolk. Like I've said, the
Battleships of a House sells the best fighter the House has to offer, their
Heavy Fighters. Time to get yourself a Crusader, about one of the ugliest looking ship in the game, but it'll do, for now.

Oh, before I forget, I'll tell you something. You can level up first before getting the ship, as your worth will be higher before you buy a ship and it'll be easier to level up. But I do advise AGAINST it, to be honest. It's better to buy a ship and/or new equipments before you start gaining credits to level up.
Why? That is to make it so you've a healthy amount of credits going.

I'll explain it easily. You got 45k, you need to go to 60k to level. Alright, do mission and get the 15k you need to level up. After that, you go and buy yourself the new ship and/or new equipments, making your money go down to maybe like 30k or so left. Not a healthy amount of credits, if you ask me.

But if you go and buy the stuff first, you'll be left with like 15k, and still needs to go to 60k to level. You then go on to earn credits doing mission, etc.
Once you leveled, you'll be at 60k, and can happily go on the story mission without worrying about not having enough funds for next upgrade, etc.

Sure, it'll take longer, but that's the rule I follow, and I'm quite happy with it. I was never left without sufficient fund to upgrade my equipments when the opportunity arises for me to upgrade it.

One more thing, the Bounty Hunter is hostile towards you, right? Well, once you get a new ship, they'll lost your scent and will be back to neutral with you.
I do advise upgrading your equipments along with the new ship. For me, I got a full load of 6 Skyrails (best weapon buyable currently) for the 6 gun hard points of the Crusader. Like I've said, equipping all the hard points with the same weapons equals simultenious firing rate and projectile speed, which means when you hit an enemy, you get a full 6 hits and not like a few hits and a few misses that'll happen frequently if your weapons don't have simultenious firing rate and projectile speed.

Shield upgrade is also recommended, as usual. And also as usual, a full load of shield batteries and nanobots will do no harm. Once you're finish with the upgrading and have also gained a level, it's time to answer Juni's request for you to meet her at Planet Cambridge, Cambridge. The waypoints will get you there soon enough.

/========================\
|3E: MISSION 05          |
.========================.

When you meet Juni at the Bar at Planet Camridge, she'll ask for your help in doing something. If you must know, from now on, all storyline missions no longer offer any cash rewards.

================================================
MISSION
================================================
OBJECTIVE:
Juni has a lead that might shed some light on the whereabouts of Professor
Quintaine. He's the key to learning more about the alien artifact.

DIFFICULTY:
Since this is not an official LSF mission, there is no LSF Intel data available.

REWARD:
Valuable information about the mysterious alien artifact.
================================================

----------------------------
Mission 05: Cambridge, Cambridge
New Objective:
Meet Juni in Space above Planet Cambridge
Dock with the Trade Lane
This Trade Lane ends at the Battleship Norfolk
Dock with the Trade Lane
This Trade Lane ends at the Omega 3 Jump Gate
Take the Jump Gate to the Omega 3 System
Dock with the Trade Lane
This Trade Lane ends at Freeport 1
----------------------------

Juni will tell you that Dr. Quintaine has gone missing, not missing as in disappeared, but missing as in he's gone under, to hide. How do Juni deduce that? Well, this one left a trace.

Dr. Trent... that sounds good. After the short event of pretending to be a
Doctor of Xenoarcheology (or something like that), you'll not get any further information on where Quintane might be, but there's some hope, though. A Dr.
Sinclair, who used to work with Quintaine, might shed some light on where
Quintaine might be hiding at. She's currently at a dig site on Planet Sprague in the Omega 3 system.

Once that's done with, launch and meet Juni in space. If you have ignored all my previous advises to upgrade your equipments and reload your shield batteries and nanobots, well, do it before you launch.

Juni will give you a series of waypoints to go to. Just follow her directions.
You'll be in Omega 3 after taking a couple of Trade Lanes and a Jump Gate.
Once in Omega 3, you'll take a Trade Lane that heads to Freeport 1. During the trip from Planet Cambridge to Freeport 1, you'll get to hear about the many
Rheinland activities around the other systems.

----------------------------
Mission 05: Route to Sprague
New Objective:
Fly to Sprague
Be on the lookout for Rheinland ships in the area
Destroy the Rheinland Ships
Dock with Planet Sprague
----------------------------

There's no Trade Lane to Sprague, so from Freeport 1, you'll have to get there by yourself, using your Cruise mode and following the waypoint. There are a lot of Rheinland activities, so be on the lookout for any Rheinland ships in the area. Well, you will not experience any trouble and as you get within a few Ks of Sprague, you'll thought that this journey will be uneventful, but...

What the heck?!!! These Rheinland Ships suddenly decloaked in front of you and
Juni, blocking the way. They'll start attacking, so defend yourself and destroy them. Once the battle is over, you'll find out you're not the only one surprised by the sudden decloaking of the Rheinland Ships. Juni, too, will be quite surprised and in disbelieve about the usage of Cloaking technology by the
Rheinland ships. Such technology is yet unheard of in the colonies.

Well, if they hadn't appeared right before your very eyes, you won't believe it yourself, I reckoned. Sprague is almost right next to you, so just click on the waypoint (which is the Docking Ring) and press dock to automatically head there and dock.
