Contacts: Flash Harrison: 1st Level, Kachirho Tree City, Kashyyyk. Thom Steele: Dearic Cantina, Talus. Captain Koh: , 3rd Level, Kachirho Tree City, Kashyyyk. Mission 1: Mission to Talus Flash Harrison, self proclaimed pilot god, wants you to deliver a message to Thom Steele for him.
Go to Dearic Cantina, Talus, to deliver his message. Speak to Thom, get paid 1K for your trouble so far.. He will then give you a mission to fly to Correllia space, to remove some miners…
Once in Correllia Space you will be given a patrol waypoint to go to… and then another… I killed 3 tier 3 Z-95 headhunters on the 2nd way point. I carried onto the next patrol point, and that was it. Mission Successful, return to Thom Steele in Dearic Cantina, Talus.
Thom Steele Thanks you and gives you a mining laser and cargo hold, and if you want, another mission to mine some rock for him…. Mission 2: Extract 250 units of Siliaceous Asteroid “An abundance of silicaceous asteroids have entered the corellia system recently, and we’d like a piece of those minerals. Head up there and get us a sample. You can keep whtaever you mine, we’ll only scrape off a bit to test the quality. 250 units should be enough to get a proper sample.”
Equip your newly aquired mining laser and cargo hold, and note which number weapon it is. Fly into space and activate the silicaceous asteroid waypoints. Pick one and head over to it. Start blasting away (using the number key that relates the weapon slot, example, mine was in weapon slot 3, so pressing the number 3 key will fire that weapon) with the mining laser until you get a chunk fly off, chase it down (I target it and hit follow) and blast that, till it splits into even smaller bits, again blast these till its all gone. Have to be quick though, the bits soon fly off into the distance. Rinse and repeat till you get the mission successful message.
Return to Thom Steele, Dearic Cantina, Talus, and he will pay you 2k, and send you off to Kashyyyk to report to Captain Koh of the mining Fleet…
You must empty your cargo hold, by using the radial menu of the ship control device in your datapad, when on the ground. Select Unload Cargo for all the cargo to be transferred to your inventory. Mission 3: Extract 500 Units of Organometallic Asteroid Captain Koh is on the 3rd level of the Kachirho city Tree, Kashyyyk.
He will give you a mission to extract 500 units of Organometallic Asteroid in Kashyyyk space…
When you return he rewards you with 5k then asks you to come back in a minute so he can study the sample. When you return he tells you that miners from Lok are stealing ore from the Kashyyyk space, and sends you on another mission. He also gives you a larger capacity cargo hold. Empty your carg, and equip the new one. Mission 4: Extract 750 units of Obsidian Asteroid The next mission is to extract 750 units of Obsidian from Lok… Same Process, get to Lok, Activate the Waypoints for the Osidian, and go to the nearest one, and start mining it to bits….
Mission successful will appear once you reach 750 units…
Return to Captain Koh, 3rd level of the Kachirho city Tree, Kashyyyk, and he will reward you with a tractor beam and 7.5k. Talk to him again to get another mission. He wants you to steal the cargo of a stranded freighter in Corellia.
Mission 5: The Damaged Freighter Empty your cargo, and equip your new tractor beam to a weapon slot where the mining laser was, then fly off to Corellian space… When you get to space, make a note of how to turn on/off your tractor beam, and get after that freighter. It’s a Tier 3 ship, but you will need to defend yourself against attacks, be ready. When you get to the freighter and start your tractor beam 7 (I think) Tier 3 Z-95 Headhunters appear. Kill them all and continue with the siphoning of cargo from the damaged freighter. Moments later, you will get the mission successful, and the freighter will explode.
Return to Captain Koh, 3rd level of the Kachirho city Tree, Kashyyyk. He will reward you with 7.5k and you get to keep the cargo of iron you took from the freighter. Mission 6: Broad Sample Part 1,2,3 The next mission Entitled “Broad Sample” sends you off to get 125 units of minerals from 3 systems in order: Organometallic asteroid from Kashyyyk Ice asteroid from Endor, Crystal asteroid from Dathomir. Using your tractor beam, means you do not have to destroy the last smaller part of the asteroid chunk, just activate the tractor beam and it will be pulled into you. You may still have to follow it to get closer.
Once you have completed this, return to Captain Koh, 3rd level of the Kachirho city Tree, Kashyyyk, and he will reward you with a new mining laser and 10k. Mission 7: Protect the Y-8 Convoy His next mssion is a patrol one, and wants you to go to Kashyyyk space and escort a bunch of Y-8’s through space. Gear up for combat and get into space….
Once you reach your target, 3x Y-8’s will appear. They will ask you to activate your comm on any of the 3 when your ready, and give the go ahead to start the journey.
Once you set off, almost immediately groups of 3 Tier 3 Dunelizards spawn constantly for the duration of the journey. You must be very quick at killing for this part.
If all 3 survive, you will eventually get the mission successful. You can now either clean up the few remiaining pirates or hyperspace back to Kashyyyk. Either way return to Captain Koh, 3rd level of the Kachirho city Tree, Kashyyyk when your ready. Captain Koh will reward you with 10k for your efforts. Mission 8: Intercept the Gilded Wookie His next mission, “Intercept the gilded wookie”, is the complete opposite of the previous. You must now destroy a convoy and it’s escort at the same place you escorted your convoy to safety. Secretly like, you know. Gear up for combat, its gonna be messy. 3x Tier 4 Xwings 3x Merc A wings (does not say what Tier) 1x Gilded Wookie Tier 3 Y-8
You MUST destroy all ships, so there’s no witnesses. Return to Captain Koh, 3rd level of the Kachirho city Tree, Kashyyyk when the mission successful appears.
Your reward is 12.5k. Mission 9: Space Diamonds Your next mission is in Kessel. You must Mine 500 units of Diamond from the ‘roids there. Be careful. Be ready.
To get to Kessel, go to your factional Deep space station, Rebel = Dantooine, Station (Deep Space) Imperial = Endor Neutral = Dathomir, Last Nav Station (Deep Space)
There are 3 Diamond Asteroids in Kessel as follows: 2309, -3731, -3404 2725, 2290, 1981 -625, -3033, 4712
If you have mapped a key to “select next space object (any)” you can confirm these co-ordinates and add waypoints.
Be aware: The roids in Kessel can spawn a multiple of 2x Asteroid Bandits. Tier 5 KSE Firesprays or Xwings. I may have been unlucky, but I killed 10 Tier 5 ships mining my 500 units of diamonds.
Once you have completed your 500 unit quota, return once more to Captain Koh, where you will be rewarded with 15k and a brand spanking new Y-8 mining vessel.
This is bugged up to the eyeballs by the way - I'm up to the 'escort the y-8 convoy' part, and the waypoint never spawns - musta retaken that mission a dozen times, and nothing happens. There's a massive petition on the forums to fix it, but since that's been there for a couple of months, don't hold your breath on getting this one done
Wouldn't have thought so - it was only the quest missions that were bugged, not the ships AFAIK. Give it a try, see if one gets destroyed - you've got a spare
So we need one or 2 Y-8s kitted with tractor beams and hvy mining lasers and then one or 2 fighters with a mining laser and proper guns to mop up any loose bits and keep the nasties away.
I guess Torv can answer this - are space-mined minerals actually any use for anything?
Oh, and I keep getting given a 'glowing asteroid chunk' (don't drop them - they take up the entire inside of my yacht!!) or whatever that says it can be used in a crafting recipe - any ideas what they're specifically used for?
The asteroidal resources are used for crafting the multi-person ship components as well as the vehicle restoration kits, Ship upgrade stuff like strakes and fins, and the hvy Z-95, skyk etc.
The different types of chunks (glowing, colourful etc.) are used in making texture kits for ships such as the ARC-170 and other stuff.. I think

Strakes and fins?? Sounds cool - are they like giant whale-tail spoilers and go-faster stripes? Can I get some fluffy dice for my JSF too?
The thing that bugs me about texture kits is you can't see the effect unless you buy one and apply it I'd love a nice unique-looking ship, but would like to know what I'm doing to it first!! What exactly do the tex kits do - is it like a complete custom paint/deco job, or does it just make your ship look like it's made out of glass/sandpaper/poo?
I'll ditch all the resources I've got into the spare house Torv, see if there's anything useful there for ya
Go here and scroll down til you get to the ship stats. There are links to pics to all the different textures that you can use. Obviously there are different colour choices as well:
You might not be able to put the resources in the spare house, it's kinda full
The main house still has room for about 50 items in I think, plus as soon as I finish Storm Squadron I'll have another RE session and component clear out.
Then when I finally hit Reb Ace I'm going to kit out my YT1300 so that should make some spare room in the houses as well.
Anyone want a TIE pilot helmet/jumpsuit? One careful owner, not too soiled, but Storm Squadron isn't over yet...

It's not if I can do it, it's whether the DEVs have fixed the bugs to let me...
And I have a new mission - sod the firespray, I want me a YT-2400 - Dash Rendar's ship from Shadows of the Empire. I'll dig out a pic and post it so you can see how damn cool it is
