with a Freighter, thus using a Freighter isn't recommended. A Crusader
Heavy Fighter, though, is sufficiently maneuverable enough to win. You don't need a very meneuverable Light Figher.

NOTE: If you really can't win even with a Heavy Fighter and would do just about anything to win, try buying the Cavalier Light Fighter that is sold at
Battleship Hood. It has better maneuverability and turning, making it a bit easier for the race. I can't say that it's good for the missions ahead... but like I've said, if you can't with a Heavy Fighter and would do just about anything to win, try it.

After winning the race, you'll get another automatic mission.

================================================
MISSION
================================================
OBJECTIVE:
Find Quintaine and bring him to Planet Leeds to help Sinclair and Juni with the artifact.

DIFFICULTY:
Quintaine may be in a non-combat vessel and must survive the journey. You must be alert. Obviously, you are not hte only person trying to find him.

REWARD:
Critical information about the artifact.
================================================

----------------------------
Mission 06: Hovis Lost
New Objective:
Fly to Battleship Hood
Land on Battleship hood
Launch to Space
Fly to the Waypoint
Enter the mouth of the old trade lane to Station Glorious
Fly to Station Glorious
Follow the path of the old trade lane to Station Glorious
Defend Station Glorious
Land on Station Glorious
----------------------------

Hovis tells you to meet him at the Hood, well then, go and meet him. When you land, he'll tell you where Quintaine is hiding at, Station Glorious. Of course, you didn't hear this from him. Well, you can keep this a secret. Before you go, he tells you that a few Rheinlanders came here asking the same question earlier.

Did they race? You'll find out the didn't. Too yellow, Hovis said. Those
Rheinlanders sure are everywhere. When you're ready, launch to space. It's time to head to Station Glorious following the instructions given to you Hovis. Just follow the two waypoint and you'll get there, it's not very far. Once you're close, you'll see a Rheinlander Gunboat and Fighter Wing. They'll start attacking the station after some conversation with it. Help defend the Station.

I suggest taking out the big easy target first, the Gunboat, followed by the fighters. You got some helpers out there, so you don't need to do it all alone.
Once the last of the enemies is finished off, Station Glorious will thank you and tells you that you got permission to land.

----------------------------
Mission 06: Quintaine Found
New Objective:
Meet Quintaine in Space near Station Glorious
Fly to Quintaine
Fly to the Waypoint
Lead Quintaine's group to the Leeds Jump Hole.
Defend Quintaine
Destroy the Rheinland Gunboat
Destroy All Hostile Ships
Fly to the Leeds Jump Hole
Destroy All Hostile Ships
Take the Jump Hole to the Leeds System
Dock with the Trade Lane
Lead Quintaine's group to Planet Leeds
Land on Planet Leeds
----------------------------

Not quite a welcome, is it? Even after you've helped them. Well, you finally convinced Quintaine to come with you. He got one condition, and that is he doesn't come alone. Good for you, actually, at least you got some allies for the road ahead.

Launch when you're ready, meaning after you've reloaded on Shield Batteries and
Nanobots too, if required. You'll see Quintaine once you're in space. You can't miss him since he's marked with a waypoint. Fly to him. He's in an Armored
Transport. He'll explain that he's in a transport because he needed it to carry all the needed equipments, which is a lot, I guess. You'll be met by a few friendlies too, Quintaine's escorts.

Quintaine will tell you to lead the way, so do so. Head to the marked waypoint.
You won't get far before you'er attacked by Rheinland ships. Quintaine's cruise engine is down after being hit by a Cruise Disruptor. With the help of the others, defend Quintaine at all cost. As suggested by one of your allies, let's take down the Gunboat first. After it's down, take care of the other ships.

Once it's over, continue on to the marked waypoint, the Leeds Jump Hole. Once you get near it, you'll find that it's blocked by more Rheinland ships. Well, it's time again to battle it out. It's not that hard, but if you ever need time to reload shields, the afterburn short burst run and dodge tactic should do the trick.

Once the enemies are destroyed, you can take the jump hole to Leeds. Dock with the marked Trade Lane to head to Planet Leeds. Whew, you're finally there. And in one piece too. Quintane will tell his escorts to head back since he has arrived at the destination. Dock with the Docking Ring to land on Planet Leeds.

Once again, you bring another person to Tobias's Shop. Quintaine will have a reunion of sort with Sinclair. Your current mission is done. Mission successful.

----------------------------
Mission Result: Success
You have advanced to Level 12
----------------------------

================================================
MISSION 06 ENDED
================================================

You don't get to go any further since just after the reunion, Tobias's shop will be visited by 2 Rheinlanders looking for Quintaine! Tobias will chase them out, even after their threats that Quintaine is an enemy of Rheinland, telling them that they are NOT in Rheinland, but in his Shop, in Bretonia!

They'll leave, telling Tobias that they can wait. Well, the group now knows that this is no longer a safe place for them, as the Rheinlanders already know they're here. Quintaine will tell you that he got a message quite some time ago from a certain Kress, offering Quintaine to meet him. He's the one that told
Quintaine the strange going ons that cause Quintaine to go into hiding at the first place.

The others need you to help them find the base of the mysterious Kress, which is located at the Border Worlds. For the first time, you'll get to the next storyline mission without a break for gaining a Level before the story continues. You can decline, though, to make some credits first, before going back to accept it.

NOTE: No Level can be gained this time between the Campaign Missions as it continues right away.

There's nothing you can actually do that you haven't already done. No new equipment upgrades are available that you can't buy earlier, no new ship, nothing. Well, except wanting to make more credits before accepting the mission, you can accept the mission right away.

/========================\
|3G: MISSION 07          |
.========================.

The current place is no longer safe. The Rheinlanders have found you. The others need your help to head to the Border Worlds to find the base of the mysterious
Kress.

================================================
MISSION
================================================
OBJECTIVE:
You have to hide from the Rheinland agents. Fly with Juni, Sinclair and
Quintaine to the Border Worlds and find the base of the mysterious Kress.

DIFFICULTY:
The Rheinland agents will be trying to stop you from reaching the Border Worlds.
They will likely to hunt you the entire way. It's very advisable to fly a powerful combat vessel.

REWARD:
This is not about money; it's about survival.
================================================

----------------------------
Mission 07: Leeds, Leeds
New Objective:
Meet Juni, Quintaine and Sinclair in Space above Planet Leeds
Fly in the Border Worlds to find the base of the mysterious Kress
Destroy the Rheinland Agents
----------------------------

In a scene, the group's ships heading towards the Trade Lane, with some conversation. As you should know by now, a scene where the ship moves automatically is not a good sign. The group will be stopped by 2 Rheinlander ships uncloaking in front of them, piloted by the very same 2 person looking for Quintaine earlier. Engage them! When one of them is destroyed, the other will cloak and get away.

----------------------------
Mission 07: Escape from Leeds
New Objective:
Dock with the Trade Lane
Take the Trade Lane to Stokes Mining Station
Dock with the Trade Lane
Take the Trade Lane to the Tau-31 Jump Gate
Destroy the Rheinland Fighters
----------------------------

Time to continue on your journey, dock with the marked Trade Lane that heads to
Stokes Mining Station. Once you exit, another Trade Lane will be mark, now one that heads to the Tau-31 Jump Gate. But just as you get close, a group of
Rheinlanders appears to stop you. Take them out!

----------------------------
Mission 07: Outside Stokes Mining Station
New Objective:
Dock with the Trade Lane
Take the Trade Lane to the Tau-31 Jump gate
Destroy the Rheinland Blockade Ships
Dock with the Jump Gate to the Tau-31 System
Dock with the Trade Lane
Take the Trade Lane to Holman Outpost
Dock with the Trade Lane
Take the Trade Lane to the Tau-29 Jump Gate
Fly to the Trade Lane
Escape the Rheinland Blockade by flying to the Trade Lane
----------------------------

Despite the warning by Stokes about the Rheinland hostile activity in the area, you must go on. Dock with the marked Trade Lane. Once you've exited, you'll watch a scene you won't soon forget. The appearance of a Rheinland Cruiser and along with it several Rheinland Fighters. It's a blockade to prevent you from going to Tau-31.

You have no choice but to fight your way forward. Things may not look good, but very soon you'll get backup. It's Tobias and his friends! Your may want to take out the Fighters first, but I say go for the Cruiser as it's a very big and slow target moving, meaning it's very easy to hit. It doesn't have that good armor like a Battleship too. Two to 3 runs by you, with some help of your allies, and it'll go down. Just don't fly straight towards it, strafe left and right or if you prefer, fly randomly around with the mouse while shooting at it.

Once it goes down, things will look far better than it was before. Take out the remaining fighters. Once they're down, Glasgow will ask you not to travel any further until the crisis is over. Tobias will say no, explaining that the group needs to get out of this system. He will ask Glasgow to lock the Jump Gate after the group used it, though.

Take the Jump Gate, and you'll be at the Tau-31 System. Dock with the marked
Trade Lane, heading to Holman Outpost. It's still quiet for now. Continue on to the next Trade Lane that ends at the Tau-29 Jump Gate. You won't go far, as there will be another Rheinland blockade, larger than the previous one!

One sentence: The dodge and run short afterburn burst tactic. You'll not survive a battle and this time, running and dodging is the only option. Very soon,
Tobias's friend will ask you to go on while they occupy them. Follow the waypoint to head to a Trade Lane that is the key to your escape.

----------------------------
Mission 07: Fleeing to Tau-23
New Objective:
Dock with the Trade Lane
Take the Trade Lane to the Tau-23 Jump Gate
Defend Quintaine and Sinclair
Fly to Quintaine and Sinclair
