Save Stanton - Phase 3 - Idris - Guide

Upvoted by
Phase 3 consists of a server-wide call to combat an Idris controlled by the Slicers and a multitude of assorted fighters around it.
/
Soloable?
/
No. But it is ok, as the mission is server-wide, meaning you will (hopefully) be among many other players in the server doing the same mission alongside you.
/
Do I need to kill the Idris? What do I do to complete mission if I am a new player with a starter ship?
/
Do not worry. You simply have to PARTICIPATE in the mission to get mission completion once someone more experienced takes it down or boards the Idris. You will still get the same rewards as everyone else. My advice? Go kill one of the small fighters around the Idris. That will be enough for the system to recognize you PARTICIPATED and be rewarded with mission completion.
/
Anyone can join in, even if you are a new player, but if your ship is not large and capable of damaging the Idris and its huge hp pool, then I strongly suggest you stick to the edges of the fight and destroy the fighters surrounding the Idris.
/
Difficulty?
/
Easy if you stick to fighters and running away when your shields get low. Extremely hard if you want to take down the Idris.
/
Summary of the mission?
/
You and every other player in your server taking the mission must either destroy or board the Idris, while fighting off a bunch of fighters surrounding it.
/
Option 1: Destroy the Idris
/
This is a collective effort, so crew someone's Polaris and get in the turret and take it down together, or if you have a ship capable of damaging the Idris' shields, such as an Ares, go for it and be careful of its turrets. Its shield hp is massive, and so is its hull hp. Don't give up and be patient.
/
Once the Idris is destroyed, you should receive a notification of payment and mission completion.
/
Phase 3 complete.
/
Option 2: Board the Idris
/
[NOTE: At the time of this writing, the Idris entry points are bugged and players can only enter the Idris through glitching methods, hopefully this will be fixed when it goes live but, keep it in mind if you find yourself frustrated by how the doors do not open, you are not alone]
/
Make sure you bring good armor, a good weapon, a medgun, and lots of ammo. If you manage to inmobilize the Idris, or you get lucky and it stops moving, go into EVA or get out with your hover bike, and head towards the Idris.
/
To board the Idris, there are various entry points: There are 2 docking ports on its sides, which have two doors. There are 2 hangar doors at its front and rear, and there is an MPUV Cargo door at the bottom of the ship. This is the best option for boarding.
/
Inside, you will be met with a bunch of Slicers npcs wanting you dead. Most have light/medium armor and SMGs, but you will occassionally find a couple with heavy armor and shotguns. However, none have any special boss-level HP, so mow them down, and go up the stairs until you reach the top level, then follow the corridors until you see the sign to reach the Bridge. At no point do you need an elevator, you simply have to follow the corridors and stairs up.
/
Once you reach the bridge, you must kill the pilot to complete the mission and for the game to consider the Idris to be "boarded". To be safe, kill every npc in the bridge.
/
Once the Idris is clean of hostiles and "boarded", you should receive a notification of payment and mission completion.
/
Phase 3 complete.
