Copernicus Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I was grouped in Inverness Planet when the group that I was with killed roland Holmes. I did not get credit I guess because I was dead. Needless to say, the mission did not advance for me and now I can't get Roland to appear again. It does not seem to matter if I am in a group or not. I even tried logging. Character name is Kurg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lelia Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) also having this similar issue. I attempted to solo Roland at cl 8, and ended up going boom (my hull went to 0). I took the tow, and returned to Inveness with reinforcement, but unable to get him to spawn again, in group or not. Have tried relogging, gating in or out of a group, and docking in and out of station. Have also did a fairly thorough search (though admittedly not the entire planet) of the planet, up to 300m from closest nav's and around.

Lelia Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Ah, might have just received the solution to this, thanks to the [New Player] channel in game and Fifi (in game character). You have to rebuy the lens from OMP. Testing now and will report success or failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lelia Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Yup, this did the trick. So just rebuy the lens item from the NPC in OMP, and go back to Inverness and he'll respawn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joquarky Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) Unfortuantely, my problem occurred later in the mission steps. Apparently if you are at the 12/18 step of the series where you are ordered to take Holmes to EarthCorp Command, and you crash to the login screen while gating from 61 to Inverness, you are reset to the middle of Inverness sector, so you don't trigger the "escape" step that seems to be related to being near the 61 Cygni gate in Inverness. I had no idea he was supposed to escape (never done a TT character before), so I proceeded on the long journey to Zweihander. Once I arrived at ECC, I wasn't sure who to talk to. I walked around and talked to everybody but nobody would respond in context to the mission. It really puzzled me since I had him in my hold and I was told to deliver him there. So I looked around and found out that he was supposed to escape way back at Inverness. Apparently there isn't any fallback logic in the quest script to just skip the escape steps if you just happen to have him in your hold while in ECC. So, oh boy, looks like I'll need to travel all the way back to Inverness again. So I travel all the way back, but nothing happens at the gate. I hit the button to gate to 61 Cygni, and then the message pops up that he was escaping. I didn't have a chance to read the dialog, let alone to click the "Done" or whatever confirmation button on the dialog, so he escaped, but since I didn't confirm the dialog, my mission step did not progress. I assume I needed to click that button to make it go to the next step... So now I'm stuck at "(12/18) Deliver Roland Holmes to EarthCorps High Command in Zweihander." although I don't have him anymore and the mission script still thinks I do. I tried Lelia's idea with grabbing another lens, go to Inverness Planet, and capture him again. It did indeed let me attack him again upon arriving on Inverness Planet, however, it did not add his pod to my cargo. I guess the script doesn't handle that. I put in a ticket some time ago, so now I'm just waiting for some help; this was part of my L30 hull upgrade, and I'm now at L56 and I'm afraid to proceed with the L50 hull upgrade until this is finished. Edit: I just noticed a GM has fixed it for me, Thanks! :D Edited April 3, 2013 by joquarky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
