NKF Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Do you mean the Wargot's asteroid? There should be three columns of two red markers (six red markers on the hex grid in total). All you have to do is battle your way to the nearest marked hex and clear the map by destroying the light column. You only need to destroy 1 of each pair of marked hexes. The light columns are kind of hard to target. I would suggest climbing to the upper level and force attack the very top of the column. I did destroy the columns with heavy machine gun and later even dual laser pistols (I was just testing them!). But if what you're using doesn't seem to be working, try switching to another weapon. If you've only just started and can't go to any of the hexes, don't worry. Your scientists will pipe in shortly. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preda Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Oh, they are far from asteroids, my friend... have you not finished the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Not quite. I've hit another waiting game for the second interstellar horse, and have decided to take a break from it for a while. The load times vs. the actual play time of the missions were really starting to get me down. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infael Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I'm at that hex menu now and cannot get past it. I've clicked everywhere on the hex and asteroid, cuz that's how I did it last time. How do I proceed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Have you just reached the hex grid? If I remember correctly you'll need to let time run a bit before you can start targeting the other hexes. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infael Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I let the game run for 30 minutes real-time and still cannot get past the hex grid. I don't recall how I did it last time. I only recall that I pretty much had to start at the bottom of the grid and work my way through each grid to the red markers. I clicked all over the asteroid and still cnnot get into any of the hexes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 What about checking to see if there are any new research topics on the Laputa that can be done? - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infael Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I don't think I can leave the mothership at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSparrow Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Time to raise this thread from the dead:I'm at the asteroid hex grid now also... And stuck. Only thing showing on the asteroid map, besides the grid, is the 6 red dots and nothing else. Time controls don't show up either. What to do? Any way to fix this or get past it? Patched to v1.3.

The Veteran Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I can help here as unlikely as that would seem (given my misgivings for Aftershock!) I reached the mothership this morning and it's really easy. As soon as you arrie you'll have to play through one mission against the Wargots. When you successfully complete this, you'll have a short video feed to the science officer onboard the Laputa and then you'll be left to view the 3D map of the 'vessel' with 17 hexes on it and 6 red spots. The red spots are where you have to go but you actually start off right at the bottom where you should see a yellow dot. Click here to initiate the next mission and you'll see more dots appear on the main grid everytime you succeed in the previous mission. You can only carry out missions in hexes adjacent to previously cleared locations so don't expect to be able to attend the red sites right away. I'm finding it a breeze so far but I had to stop to go out for a meal so I'm just going to blow the first strand now. Good luck, see you on the other side Oh and no there are no time controls on this part of the game (it all happens as one big mission hence no healing either so be careful!) You can't leave the mission to do research or anything else either. If you don't see any yellow dot then you have a bug that I didn't get (also patched to v1.3) so try reloading the autosave which should be just before the first mission and hence before the map is generated. Alternatively, it may even be before you launch on the mission which would be even better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSparrow Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I was about to post that I fixed it but you were faster.UFO:Aftershock support <-- On that site, see: "Myrmecol repair kit". It works as advertised. Of course I had to install ActivePerl and then look through the perl script on how to use though (I am a programmer so at least I know what to look for. Might be a tad bit more difficult for people who know nothing about how the machine with pretty lights and sounds in front of them works. ) But the point is, it works. I got the mission marker to load now. P.S. If you bring an 8th "person" along (I brought my favorite drone Snotball with me) it kinda superimposes it over all the other team members preview window(?) and you can't select it anymore. Doing the first actual mission now so dunno if it will fix itself after that is done. [Edit: Nope, that loveable Snotball is gone now So remember to keep all the drones you want to bring with you, that don't fit in the squad, in the equipment] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I'm done, the mothership was easy If I remember correctly I have to wait a couple of weeks for the next trigger event now... Lucky I enjoy defending against random attacks from the starghosts huh? Oh no wait a minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERISS Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I'm at the asteroid hex grid now also... And stuck.Only thing showing on the asteroid map, besides the grid, is the 6 red dots and nothing else. Patched to v1.3.Weird. Did you patched before starting your running game? IIRC, this bug is supposed removed with 1.2EDIT: I may be wrong, I don't see it in any patch list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Installed all the patches in the instructed order up to v1.3 right after fresh install and still had to use the Myrmecol repair kit. Hope there won't be any more game breaking bugs ahead of me...

The Veteran Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Well if it helps, I just finished my game Word of advice. Unless you enjoy the endless monotony of pointless resource defence missions, just fast forward the time when you hit a 7day 14 hour research topic. You should know which one when you see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
