Notes for Mission 2

ZARTID III MISSION
------------------

When you have more than 1450 kills and 4000CR you are
told about Zartid III. He is running plans to the 
Thargons and must be destroyed. He runs under the
cover of a respectable mta (Member of the TriAlliance)
member but has been found out. He travels with Mamba
convoy and can call on lots of Mamba's to his rescue.

You are told to go to a planet. (Planet 116, whichever
galaxy you are in) where you receive a message saying
he has just left that station. If you fly out of
the space station zone and jump around you will find
him. He travels in a winged non-convex object and
has 5 Mambas with him. They instantly attack you.

If you are taking a long time over this, more Mambas
are created.

Zartid has very powerful shields and it takes a lots
hits to kill him, to enhance the battle, if Zartids
shields are low, he will turn and run, but will
fire out of his back window if you chase him. If he
gets away, the next time you meet him, his shields
are regenerated and he has another convoy. This 
can turn out to be a really good battle.

If Zartid runs into you/or you him, then YOU die
as his shields are much larger. 

If you dock more than 15 times whilst trying to
kill Zartid, Zartid is deemed to have succeeded
with his mission and you receive a failure
message.

There is chit-chat along the way here also.

Reward is Yaw boosters.
