Okay, I have gone and talked to Proconsul Dionysius Kerr and received my lvl 30 promotion. I was then instructed to go to Tiberius Shipyards in Pimus for the hull upgrade, and that I still had to pay the 10,000 credits. There was no mention from him about seeing anyone else about a possible mission.
But, I went ahead and went to see Ioanno-J Denion any ways to see if that would trigger her. But, it did not.
So I assume that you get her mission after going to Tiberius and getting the upgrade done. And that is what I'm going to try. I just hope that her mission does not become locked out because I had done so.
I'll report back when I tried it.
EDIT: okay, the lvl30 option mission seems to be locked out because there was a very brief mention that step 3 was completed. I am on my way to see Ioanno-J Denion to verify this is the case.
EDIT EDIT: Alright, it seems that the lvl30 hull upgrade optional mission can only be triggered after going through and doing the lvl30 upgrade. But yet there was no mention of going to see Ioanno-J for a possible mission while talking to Kerr or the shipyards. So without the mission log, which is miss-leading, you would not know of the optional mission. how strange is that?
