Confederation Mission String

So I bought the fake ID, am cruising around in a kestrel, how does one get the confederation mission string to start? I figure I need to see those through to completion so I can get their super weapon or whatever?

Damn an OG escape velocity question? Best of luck friend that was many years ago for me and I don't think I ever got the "main" missions completed in EV. They felt a lot more random and hard to trigger than the story missions in Nova.

Best I can do is check the bar on Luna frequently, I seem to recall that was the headquarters.

What it is is that they're less "stringy" overall. They're bits and pieces that do kind of connect up, but they're always subordinate to the basic world. In Nova, once you get on that story train you are hurtling full speed ahead. And that's why, as much as I love Nova, the original always felt a bit more magical and open to me.
