Garbage Quest?

from Stardock Forums

Ok supposed to play a dirty trick on the Gaalins and I'm supposed to destroy this transport full of refuse and scatter it across the system, but the breifing doesn't give a ship name and I've looked all over the system for a transport ship that is just floating around, Is this a incomplete mission and no actual way to complete it?

It was always bugged in the original non-reboot game. Someone recently mentioned that you should be able to find 1 Galian transport in the named system. I've not tried it but sounds like you have with no success.

It was bugged in the original? I managed to do it once without any trouble (must have got lucky), but never touched it since because of the big rep loss it gives. You're not missing much, believe me!

This is a copy of advice that's both in CWM forum and EG forum

>>If you get this mission run a search for "oveon" (I think it means transport in gaalian). You'll get a list of the 30 nearest Gaalian transports. Your target will be in the designated system when the mission begins. ...usually only one ship fitting the description.
Run that search before you leave the planet you got the mission from, then you'll know his name. <<

Usually when you get there the ship has "jumped" to another system, but he'll be back just in time so that you've enough time to shoot him down, just hang around the jump-point.
Or you can cheat a little by saving the game, flying to the system where he should be and then checking where he jumped. Then reload and fly directly to the system where the target is jumpping into then you have a little more time to shoot him down.

PS. I'm really surprised that they haven't fixed this - it was maybe the most widely known bug in the 1.3 version.

ah well then reboot should make the search simpler because it lets you specifically search for transport ship-types owned by a specific race. I'll try it out sometime.
