Hi
@UBERhelp1 , I'm going through part 4 of the guide and finally got the quest "Greetings from a friend" to obtain the 3 hover tanks. I followed the guide and everything worked fine, but I want to mention something that may be important:
- There are reports of people who didn't get this quest even though they negotiated all Joy Danba sectors (see the comments
here and
here for example). I think the reason for that is explained in the 1st comment of the 1st link: after scouting Bisoraba and Kalabuye, it is important
NOT to conquer completely Kalabuye before Bisoraba (otherwise, Joy Danba is gone for good from the map, so she cannot come back with the quest that gives the 3 HT as reward; at least this is my personal interpretation).
So to simplify, I think one can simply just go straight to Bisoraba without touching Kalabuye, and then after taking the first 2 sectors of Bisoraba, the quest appears (I did this way and it worked).
Also, I want to mention that I got the quest "An Old Acquaintance," that gives the additional 3 Exoskeleton Soldiers, after fighting all FE sectors (except from Agadar of course). So it seems it doesn't matter whether to fight or negotiate the FE sectors, the quest is triggered anyway
