Notes for Mission 3

ZURID PINO MISSION
------------------

Upon reaching 2600 kills you are told that a top
secret ship has been stolen by the son of a pirate
you have killed (Rantan Pino's son Zurid, see!)

This ship is a red coloured cobra, with large shields,
a Misloc system (this has no real effect, but is
slightly justified by giving him 8 missiles) and a 
cloaking device (He is not plotted on the scanner).

This is a tricky one as I have tried to make it so
that he looks as though he's hunting you down. This
is achieved by sending lots of thru-space messages from
him..ie. 

' I'm on your tail, And so on '

You receive another message at the slightly curious stage
of reaching 2650 kills and a planet number which MOD 5
is 1, this is just to make it appear random, but fixed!
(Erm, yes, well). The message says he's just been here
causing havoc.

You hear more chit-chat along the way and finally you
will meet him in any system with a government type
less than 3. (I think Multi-Government and below)

The fight scene is pretty much as in the Zartid one
except his ship is more manouverable. He runs on low
shields but will fire hods of missiles at you from
his rear view. It is quite a difficult kill.

Reward.

Galcop just give you a Misloc system for being good.


ALL MISSION TEXT

Commander, a pirate has just stolen Lance & Ferman's new MisLoc system and stealth device. ��He left a note at our research centre implying that you were responsible for killing Rantan Pino, his father. Commander Pino was a ruthless pirate from the old school. His son is equally menacing and is out for revenge.��Be on your guard at all times.

Commander, a strange looking ship has just left, flown by a fiery young man. He was ranting about a Cobra with markings similar to yours.��He is very bad tempered and we threw him out of the station for kicking young Groigans around.��Take care my friend!

I am on your tail Commander.��Z. Pino  

Commander, the end is nigh.��Z. Pino

Revenge is sweet.��Z. Pino

My father was a good man. You will pay.��Z. Pino

Killer, your death will come soon.��Z. Pino

Your death will be painful.��Z. Pino

I am saving one MisLoc missile for you, <COMMANDER>.��Z. Pino

I have just had <COMMANDER> inscribed on all my missiles.��Z. Pino

My aim is your pain.��Z. Pino

My friends tell me everything. I'll know where you're going.��Z. Pino

I am one hyperspace away.��Z. Pino

Nice one Commander!, Zurid Pino was becoming a pain with that new fangled stealth thingy.��Our policy is to reward worthy pilots with goods rather than money. Here's a MisLoc.��GalCop
