You can't get there from here??

    I've been studying this site:
    http://www.crossfire.swat-portal.de/database/Maps/maps.htm
    Playing singleplayer. Maybe some of these are only available multiplayer???? Maybe some were gonna be in the mod but didn't make it??


    There are some places I'd like to visit but can't find a way to get there. I have even gone so far as to diagram the systems and it seems like there is no way to get to some of the systems listed on the above site.


    For example: Styx says it has a jumphole to SOL but SOL has no jumphole to Styx. Lower Unknown says it has a jumphole to Omicron Gamma but Omicron Gamma has no jumphole to Lower Unknown. Omicron Gamma does have a jumphole to "unknown"........I have been there.......it takes you on and endless journey through territories filled with Nomad all named "unknown" until the last system where you fly into a planet called "paradise" something or other. Whats funny is if your at the last place and you look at the universe map it looks like your in Death Valley but your not. Wierd.
    I mention those 2 systems because to get into either one, Styx or Lower Unknown would, ostensibly, get you into all of the Coalition, Dom Kavash and Nomad systems.
    Am I on a wild goose chase??

    find death valley, find the wreck in there, and follow the instructions on the datadisk youll find inside it
    that will start your quest and eventually, when you finish it, you will get the coordinates of the sol - styx jump hole

    Hmmm


    Just a little more help.....please.


    I have tried everything I know of to "read" the data disc.
    I've clicked on it. Double clicked on it. Went to my neural net. Looked at trade routes. Ejected it and re-retrieved it thinking it said something when you target it.


    I know I can sell it for lots of money but thats about it. It doesn't tell me to do anything.

    I thought it was the sleeper ship in Nephele with the datadisk leading to Altair

    I've used the search and what I've seen are arguments about whether the story starts in Death Valley or Nephele or another place.........Altair I think. I don't care which one because if I don't know how to read the data discs......it is moot.


    OK, I now tried selling it and nothing happens. Except I get 9,000,000 credits. I saved first so I can still get it back.


    wth??

    I don't know about the Death Valley datadisk, I have not seen any info on it, maybe it was there in an earlier version of CF.


    I followed the quest from the datadisk in Nephele and that did lead me (eventually) to Altair.

    I appreciate the help.


    Thats fine if the Death Valley disc has no data on it. But when I get to Nephele I still don't know how to read them.


    I've clicked on it etc. etc. I don't know how to read it to even know if it has any data on it or not. One of the above poster sent me there (Death Valley) telling me that this data disc would tell me what to do or where to go next.



    I think I will just make a thread asking how to read the data disc.


    Is it a secret that nobody wants to tell me?

    In case you do not know how to select your cargo. Select the inventory item top left of screen or press F7. Then select the commodities icon from the open new screen. Select the data disk and you can read the info.

    Nope. Ask OP. The quest starts in Death Valley, but Nephele is a lot easier to find :)

    OK.......now WHAT does THAT mean???


    Thanks for the help guys. The disk I found in Death Valley has no information other than saying it has information for the Crossfire government. I searched a little more diligently here on the forum and saw a post where OP says explicitly that the disk in Death Valley is for selling and thats it. "Finito" I believe is the word he used. Now, if your saying the quest starts in Death Valley because finding a 9,000,000 credit data disc spurs you to explore for more, I can believe that. But if there is something else???


    Also, after I sold it, I went to Nephele and have since gone on to find the other 3 data discs and as soon as I log off here I am heading to the coordinates that it gave me. I don't want to do things out of order though so if there is something else in DV........please don't let me screw this up.
