    Main Storyline: Operation Phoenix Lost & Found (new)
    • Reworked old main storyline chapters into a consistent 5-part mission campaign to close the gap to Operation Phoenix New Terra campaign (Old missions: Intro, Crashed Bird, Glacial Grave, Meet the Glad, Sigma Fulcrum, Wins & Losses).
    Note: The remaining old mains story missions have been disabled for now and will be reworked into a new 5-part mission campaign in the future.

    Testing note: the new mission arc can be started from the PDA when arriving at Omicron Orbit. IDA will notify about the mission being available. Missions in general:
    • All new/reworked story missions (main and local) have gotten additional helper chapters that will both allow to see what to do next (f.ex.: “Next: Talk to…”) or resume a deactivated mission without having to speak to the mission quest giver.
    General Info for story testing (not only related to this mission arc): Please avoid using gm, gm iv and gm fly when teleporting or console-teleporting to destinations while testing. This might/will break the PDA operations that are tied to a lot of tasks. Same accounts for teleporting to playfields/suns/orbits with the same gm tools enabled: this can lead to broken jump-bookmarks which cannot be removed by the game afterwards anymore (you can remove them manually, when you are in their target playfield/sector/sun orbit).

    Feedback example questions to answer for the mission campaign:

    1. Did you always know what to do next? (If not, please describe the situation you got lost in)
    2. Did any of the mission tasks or actions not work at all?
    3. Did the on-screen messages (bottom center) give you enough info on what to do next (in addition to the task list on the right screen side)
    4. Did the dialogues provide enough info or context for the mission
    5. Did you read more than just the mission description dialogues (like additional answers or infos given by the quest givers?)
    6. Did you find the quest givers locations easily?
    7. Were the "Next: .." info chapters of any help (PDA > mission list)
    8. Did you understand the sorting of the missions in the PDA overview?
    9. Did you use the "Resume mission" helper mission at any time
    10. What is you general feedback about tonality, context and story of the mission?

    Doing the missions got to here:

    Leave System --- left system
    Kezzel debriefing --- Where ? Went to omicron but wrong Kezzel ?

    I could force the issue but would rather not.

    Hey @dlindfors

    Did you get a dialogue when leaving the asteroid field where the prison was?
    If so, did you by instance close the dialogue with ESC or anything other than clicking on the answer?

    I don't recall a dialog but I was hearing explosions and was not necessarily paying close attention.
    Once I got back in my ship there wasn't any prompts. I left normally.

    Same issue here, I'd like to know how to continue without forcing the issue since it doesn't unlock the next step anyway (tried after a game backup).

    Btw I've had hard time on a previous step of the questline. On Omicron, I had to reload an old save because I've raided the wreckage before I was asked to, so no enemies to kill and no hostages to release/speak to when the quest sent me there.
    And after the reload the same quest (made with no issues this time) was stuck on debriefing part, had to proceed using the debug tool.
