Act 1 Mission 4 - The Heist

You hear about some interesting information regarding some new navy fighters from the Stepsons. They are heavily guarded so you have to obtain a false IFF code, sneak into the base, and steal the fighters by switching them with another cargo pod.

1) Read the email from the Stepsons (you will have to dock to read your email.)

2) Go to the "Stepson meeting place" waypoint.

3) Talk to the Stepsons (Bill) and listen to Clay.

4) The "Junkyard" waypoint will appear - go to it.

5) Talk to Doxer and ask for help.

6) Doxer will ask you to reclaim some cargo to use as a trade for the IFF you require. You must then go and get an item of cargo with a customs value in excess of 2000 and then take this back to Doxer. He will give you the IFF and a waypoint will be set up for you to meet with Jafs.

7) Rendezvous with Jafs at the new waypoint and dock with him.

8) Jafs transports you to the Maas facility and stops on the edge of the garbage dump.

9) Undock from Jafs and hide in the dump.

10) Listen to Clay's advice.

11) Remote-link to the drone, dock to the cargo pod labelled 'Useful' on your contact list and take it to the pod containing turret fighters. It is probably best to do this bit in external view. Fly next to the fighter pod and fly slightly past it.

12) Undock from the 'useful' pod so that it slides backwards into position next to the fighter pod. Dock to the turret fighter pod, and take it back to the garbage dump and undock it.

13) Cancel the remote-link (SHIFT-R) again

14) Jafs will dock to the pod and transport it away.

15) When Jafs flies out of range and the player has escaped, the mission is completed.

After the completion of this mission there is a slight pause in the mission structure to allow the players to gather some cargo from piracy and to give them a chance to witness some of the Marauder attacks occurring in the area.
