However, the MSF Base line has multiple mothership changes. After rescuing your ally, when given the option to side with Viper, or side with Admiral Trump, if you side with Admiral Trump, Viper takes your Lion cruiser (make sure everybody but Viper is launched, or if you are feeling like a bastard, launch Viper in one of those crappy excaliburs rotting in your cargo hold, with no weapons or shields). You are than required to defend your new mothership from your old mothership. Make sure you are armed with something that can bring down capital ships quickly, as you have to defeat Viper's cruiser before it turns your new home into scrap metal.

Is that during the mission in New Kyoto where Alex is met before the final fight?
I found that siding with NESF gives you the Lion MK2 also. I'm curently in the Star Worlf MS, but if i choose first option of dialog when Corsair, SAM and Alex are talking, i loose my current MS and need to rush to FTU headquarter to get a shiny new Lion Mk2 (not armed ^^ need to rearm it fast as battle is going on same time with SAM)
but i guess you definitly loose NESF support after this, havent finished mission yet, i'll tell.
edit : well nevermind it seem you can use it just for this battle :s because game is over after sob sob... too bad this end so fast when you force SAM to retreat, this game is really short, and no free play mode after with that choice it seem.

After Inoco mission, Greyhair said he knows a better mothership, but i decided to go Alex first, and now my girl is missing after the Alien mission, but I'm still flying the pathetic Astarte.

Better Mothership needed NOW!

Yeah, unfortunately you are stuck with the Astarte until you rescue Ternie. Theres no possible way to get a better mothership until that moment. This is also why I heavily recommend you do the mission to get the Astarte, because imagine the poor souls who stuck with the Mastiff.

I tried severial times to hit the Alien hidden box, but no way to win with Astarte.
The thing is, Astarte has a very poor navitation system, so I'd rather change to next MS asap.

I've done rescue Ternie, now flying the fish-head.

What are you referring to here? The only fights with aliens occurs in the Precursor System and those aren't that hard. Unless you tried to jump the dreadnought in the Dyson Sphere, but those guys are neutral and just want you to leave.

That dreadnought was too tempting a target and I just had to have a go at it :p It took a goddamn miracle to pull off, but I lost 5 ships in the process - and all I got for it were a bunch of alien guns and turrets. Turrets which will never be able to be mounted, because Joseph is the only freaking character with the Alien tech perk and he leaves as soon as this mission arc ends. Bah.

If you're talking about the Star Hammer Memorial that fight isn't too hard either, the aliens only start spawning once you damage the memorial and quit spawning once you destroy it. My problem is getting the memorial to drop at least 2 Precursor Guns, otherwise I'd have to wait until the endgame when Ternie comes back to harvest those ships she can summon.

At Alex path are possible 2 MS.

1. Manticore
2. Lion MK2 if you decide to kill Emperor or get to Alex path after mission in XT24
(from Trida or InoCo path) or from NESF if chose 1. answer in New Kyoto.

Hi guys. I finished the mission where you deliver radium for the NESF. I also got the giant payout. Is there some way I get a new mothership after this and before I jump through the precursor portal?

Thanks

Edit: I think the mothership I'm looking for is the Star Wolf. How do you get that one?
Edit: Never Mind, you get the Star Wolf near the end of the game.
