Act 1 Mission 2 - The Stepsons

The Stepson gang have noticed the increasingly successful piracy activities of your gang. They invite you to join them as a probationary member, but first you must prove your worthiness. They set you a small task; steal a Maas Systems cargo itinerary for them.

1) Dock to Lucrecia's Base to receive an e-mail from the Stepsons. Launch and go to the Stepson meeting place that will appear as a waypoint on your contact list.

2) Once there, you will see 2 or 3 Stepson ships.

3) Follow the dialogue and say 'Yes' when asked if you want to join them.

4) They will explain that they want you to steal the cargo from a Maas vessel that is going to be entering the system at Touchdown L-point and heading to Grimwald Collection Station I. They will also warn you that it will be well guarded.

5) Go to the Touchdown L-point.

6) When you get to the Touchdown L-point, watch your contact list to see the Maas ships arrive. There are usually about 3 of them.

7) Kill them all and a cargo pod will be dropped labelled 'shipping manifest'.

8) Once the Maas ships are dead, dock to the cargo pod. Note: if the Maas ships escape, you will have to follow them to Grimwald, which is in the Hoffer's Belt Asteroid Field and kill them there.

9) Fly back to the Stepson meeting point. The Stepsons will then greet you and congratulate you on making the grade.

10) You must undock the cargo pod to finish the mission.

Following the Stepsons Initiation mission, the player becomes a member of the Stepsons. This gives the player access to new trades. Go back and dock to the base and look at the trading screen to see these.
