This mission, uncompleteable or bugged? lol... many of us have cleared that entire sector out plenty of times without needing to hire mercs, even on hard mode. Plus, who says you need to fight them - you could always farm pirates elsewhere and use the loot gained to pay these guys off. Smart people will pick their battles wisely. It's the same like that guy who complained having always to mash the reload button and pray his team survives the next attempt. You don't learn anything that way.

Hmm....Xp is tiny anyway, and at the standard rate, only used to buy up your piloting for more advanced fighters.

Exactly, u use them for what i do, damage sinks...invaluable when fighting superior enemies.


I can guarantee you that you cant do it following the regular missions path like i did... You simply dont have enough creds or XP to even fly the advanced fighters at that point. I even did a little farming beforehand, and im no noob when it comes to these games....I started on Elite for the C-64 way back when lol..


Btw, it would take QUITE a long time to farm up 300,000 creds at this point in the game, using usual methods. Hell, i didnt even KNOW there were hidden caches of anything until i read some posts here...and the first inkling you get is at Hapheastus...and i thought i could range the turrets with particle guns lol..silly me...so i was waiting till I had some serious long range missiles to go back and check stuff out.
