Deep Core mission 4

I'm stuck on fourth mission, where you have to find six radio transmitters and then find exit area. I know hex locations of these items (since you can look them up with shift+e and shift+t) but can't reach them. I activated two of them, then found a broken one accross the river (where you also have defunct ammo and armor bay and functional repair bay). I advanced and found one more transmitter but it isn't working either (no message). I've destroyed all enemy titans along the way. How can I proceed? [:(]

Gotta mention that mission 3 too, one of my light mechs blew up in lava river, quite spectacular end to that jock (critical engine explosion). I ran out of jump motor energy on top of it... [:'(]

You should have kept an eye on the JP charge meter in the lower right [;)]

Can you explain why you can't reach all the transmitters? I can check the map but only during the weekend. Maybe someone else can do it faster.

It's not that I can't reach one but it does nothing. On low right corner there seems to be one on top of the mountain but no route goes there and it's too high to jump to. And another one doesn't seem to activate at all (this one on close to the mountain where one transmitter is hidden, on plains). Before that there was a broken one on next to repair, ammo and armor bay that didn't do anything either. I also tried investigating houses and whatnow on my way dows there but only found 5000 creds on one and another empty one.

Ok, so #3 doesn't work and that's intentional. You'll have to proceed to #4, by going south, then east, then south again, then west. It should be in hex 14/20, I think it's kinda hidden (not looking at it right now, I'm following d~some notes I took). #4 should open a "door" to the east, where you'll find #5 at 18/25 (Eric designed a few of these dungeon like maps, where triggers open passages to closed sections of the map). This one will open to the west, where you'll find #6 across the map, at 1/23. East and north and you're on your way to the exit.
Hope this helps.

Thank you, I'll try it next time I fire up ToS. I've been playing StarChamber couple days, nice game that. ToS is more challenging SP game though. [:)]

Yep, SC looks nice, MtG meets GalCiv [:)] Played the demo and liked it, though the Androids overan me in the JI scenario. They were cranking out Cruisers like crazy.

As for the Deep Core map, I think you may be missing a narrow passage right in front of the entrance to the #3 area. It's concealed by some trees. It may be easier to spot in the 2D display (ALT+F1).
