I stop 1000 yrds from the drop point. I'm using TMO and RSRD.

The last time I did a drop-off in FOTRS it was activated around 3000 yds, I don't know if drop-offs or insert agent missions have a different activation distance though.

From memory I have played that mission and got the option to drop off a bit before I got to the point.

As was mentioned earlier in this post by KaleunMarco, when you get a few hours away make a circle around the star. I do one for 2000 yds, 1 for 4000 yds.


when I get inside the first circle, I slow, wait, and see if they launch. If not, I move on the the smaller area and try again.

SHO Re: drop mission update..

Cheers fellow skippers...

Thanks to info gleaned from the answers given... have successfully completed the supply drop last night. After that, I radioed in & got another follow on mission that I'm headed for now.

Thanks to all who replied... I appreciate it..

Fair winds, smooth seas & plentiful targets..

M. M.
