Hey there,

I just encountered that great game, and of course I'm still a little newbie :) Though while I still play on beginners mode I have a problem with that mission. I read in two other threads that people have problems getting their spies on Dithis because the enemy doesn't build, and they can play forever waiting for it.

Now, here comes me, finally a mission where I can greatly expand (6 Planets and lots of asteroid at the start, woooo ! :) ).

But I already started the mission now 5 times, and always after 100 or 150 turns I'm getting this :

So what the f... is going on ? I don't even have any spies yet, I cannot even reach the far end of the map to find Dithis, and my only ships (1 Spaceminer, two explorer and one survayer) are not involved in any battles, I'm also not getting attacked anywhere....

So what have I made wrong ?

Thanks for helping me out.

Dithis is not on the far end of the map, it is actually closer to the center, maybe a just a tad off. All you have to do is get the planet sighted by one of your ships to plant spies there, and the first spy costs only a hundred bc. I would just colonize planets in a line closer to the center and then pile on life support for a ship to find it, plant the spy and win an easy mission. There may have been a time limit for that mission which was messing you up.
