Altair Map and Clan Questions

There are 10 replies in this Thread. The last Post () by Gast.

  • I just started playing crossfire a month ago and the server mode only a few weeks but, of the mods I've tried, this is the best. Anyway, as soon as I began I wanted to find Altair and did. In one of the first systems there was a Rheinland Gunship with a blackbox that I didn't read all the way. However, after I got it I was killed by some nomads and lost it. Now I can't find it and in Sovetskaya people are telling me coordinates from something I didn't get yet.


    Were these from the blackbox or somewhere else and will the blackbox ever come back. Also, did these lead to an Altair Nav Map (is there such a thing)? I would think so because when I'm in Altair and hit the Nav Map my ship icon is over Sol.


    Edit: I put the clan questions in another thread because I didn't think they fit in the spoiler forum. Don't know how to change the title.

  • There are a couple of wrecks which start giving you the code to work with, but if you lose the codes the rumors in Sovetskaya will give you the information you need to continue on with or without the wreck loot. It may not make complete sense at first, but if you can figure out enough of the clues via the rumors you can easily find what they point you towards. :)

  • But make sure you don`t start those quests without a helluva escort or maxed-out fighter. A good BS will do aswell.

    Assumption is the mother of all fuckups.


    Being a Cynic isn't that bad. Either I'm right or I am pleasantly surprised.

  • Will these quests give me an Altair map? If so, thanks.

  • They will tell you how to find Altair ;)

  • I went back to Sovetskaya and checked out some of the bars but the rumors aren't there anymore. The first time I heard them I didn't know what they meant and ignored them. The only clue I remember is something about Gurm.

  • First you have to get to Altair (Coalition quest), then there's that Gurm thing (Hyperspace quest)

  • So if I fly around in Gurm I'll find a wreck or jumphole or something (don't tell me what it is though, I want the fun of finding it)?

  • If you search in Gurm you will find interesting things. One of these will likely be more interesting than all the other things in the system. :P

  • I found the blackbox with the coordinates TX-45 and X-76 in Gladius (I never found it because I went to Sovetskaya through Gurm) and system coordinates for Gurm. Can someone tell me what they are because the rumors disappeared in Sovetskaya and I can't remember what they were?
