Upon entering the second sector, the player is hailed by a [[Tiddlet Breeder]] looking to transport 8 [[Tiddlet]]s and their transport boxes to the end of the sector. They are sensitive and are prone to dying of shock when traveling through [[Hyperspace]] for longer than 12 seconds. | Upon entering the second sector, the player is hailed by a [[Tiddlet Breeder]] looking to transport 8 [[Tiddlet]]s and their transport boxes to the end of the sector.

''To abort a courier mission'': this can currently only be done by editing the [[Save file|save]] file. As always, make a backup copy first! Look for any mission where Type = Delivery and Accepted = true; cross-ref AssignedLayerId to figure out which layer (ship) it's assigned to. Use the Items list on the mission to find them in the Objects list on the assigned ship and delete them before deleting the Accepted, AssignedLayerId, and Items lines on the mission. | |||

Asteroid belts may contain hostiles or be in the path of a meteor shower, requiring ship defenses to perform the mining successfully. It is a good idea to review the available ''Combat'' contracts to see if any are in the same system, as that may indicate the level of hostile activity to expect. | Asteroid belts may contain hostiles or be in the path of a meteor shower, requiring ship defenses to perform the mining successfully.
