Need A Little Help W/TMO Mission

WernherVonTrapp · 11-23-10, 04:37 PM

I'm playing TMO 2.0 (Beta Update)/RSRDC and have been given the following mission straight out of Home Base at Brisbane:

My problem is that I have tried (in vain) to drop off this Coastwatcher Team at the points marked in RED on Choiseul. I even tried to deploy this team on the island where the Star is located. You'll notice that my orders deploy me to Choiseul but the star (usually used for patrol assignments) is not at that island:

My question is: Do I have to stand-by (I'm assuming) and wait for further orders or orders to make the drop? Once I reached my destination, nothing further happened and no deployment menus appeared.

Greetings Buddy.

I just finished this same mission last week, the idea is to patrol around the first star with the binoculars and when that is done you will receive orders to drop off your coastwatchers.

Good Luck.

That's a RSRD mission!

Ah, OK, thanks for the scoop gentlemen.

BTW, I received no patrol radius. Pointers?

Yes this is a RSRD mission (you picked the RSRD "special taskforce" in Brisbane looks like), but TMO has some like this too. Basically that flotilla you're in will offer a special assignment every other mission iirc. I've never played them, but I do remember that mentioned in the documentation files Lurker provides.

I had something similar where I had to drop off a relief squad near Formosa with TMO 2.0 and no RSRD installed. They won't disembark until you're close enough *and* you stop your engines. Then you'll get a pop-up box similar to when you enter a port.

re the above mission: on 10/22 you are ordered to the Bismark Sea.

Well how close do I have to be? I always stop my engines and have been stopped and within 1700yds on several occasions with no luck. It's been 4 days now and I still can't make the drop.

UPDATE: This Mission is FUBAR. I've been within 40nm of the star for 4 days and have tried making numerous drops while completely stopped and within 550 yds of shore. I'm going to have to disregard this one and continue on.
