Shrews Rights
Mission set in Galaxy 2
Contents
Overview
The mission takes place in Galaxy 2 when the player has reached at least dangerous levels and finds the system with "vicious shrews". Just dock at the main station to get an initial meeting and further details. Also, you will get some hints about where the mission starts. As you progress through, there will be a square the colour of most shrews (brown!) on the F6 galactic chart to indicate your next destination. You should dock at the main station of a system when arriving at your destination.
You will need to be capable of defending yourself to finish this mission!
A few addons to help protect yourself and attack your enemies will make your life less like that of a rabbit and more like that of a fox. You will be attacked, so be prepared. A fuel scoop and an advanced space compass will come in handy, but they are not necessary. But what "dangerous" commander does not have those already?
The accuracy, strength and number of the bad guys will be adjusted depending on how many kills you have and how well your ship is equipped. The bad guys will get slightly harder and more numerous as the mission progresses. Get ready for a fight. You are fighting on the side of the minority and against the status quo.
Following the latest news will help: you will need to install the extension Galactic News Network, oolite.oxp.Svengali.GNN.oxp. This gives a bit more background to what is happening as you progress through the mission.
