Cargo Scoop & Landing Challenge
Posted: Mon Jan 13, 2014 12:19 am
I tweaked this low orbit track so it follows up the west coast of North America in daylight - so lots to see
with good visibility.
This save for [pioneer-20140107] parks the Wave-e in orbit around Earth with limited fuel and no autopilot.
The only assets you have is $0.62 in cred at the bank, a scratched ship with only a cargo scoop, scanner and
atmospheric shielding. Think of it as an 'intermediate level' game start position.
The Mission
A transport carrying valuable cargo recently suffered a hull breach, littering cargo containers in low Earth
orbit. You have been tasked with clearing this navigation hazard and are free to keep any salvage you are
able to collect.
The official cargo manifest from the damaged transport lists these items as missing:
5 Precious Metal cargo containers
4 consumer goods cargo containers
3 water cargo containers - (convertable to fuel)

Screenshot of where the save starts you in orbit.
Choose your salvage carefully since beyond a certain range cargo items will be lost.
Once collecting as many containers as you can, you have the option of flying to Gates Spaceport on available
fuel or try to land back on Earth to sell your salvage for more cred$.
Compare your strategy and time to collect all possible cargo items. Try to dock or land at a base within
your available fuel range.
If you want to make it tougher on yourself - you can set a delay before attempting to retrieve any cargo items.
Alternatively, avoid any refueling from the water cargo containers.

After adding the wave-e ship mod, simply put the above save file into your Pioneer game save folder and load the
save game titled "Wave-e CargoScoop & Landing Challenge".
Additional note:
For pioneer-20140107, Once a single 1 ton cargo container is collected, it may appear in the cargo roster as
multiple tons. (due to a known collision bug issue) - or consider it a temporary bonus - until fixed ;)
Good luck pilots!
