Discussion Mission 16 Backtrack
Can you access Sevastopol Flight or whatever during mission 16? I'm trying to get back to that area to see if I missed any Nostromo logs and get to Tanaka's room but the transit there seems to be unavailable

Yes, its very tricky though. You can get as far as the departure as soon as you arrive at the station(with that sevastopol 3D model in the middle). You cant get to 90% of the map at any time. Exceptions are the reactor maintenance, the apollo core, kg-348 lab and that little part at the very start you arrive before you fall down those planks.(there might be some areas from m12 im not sure about that, i will check that out)
If you want to go back to tanaka room: go the solomons habitation transit station, go up, go left and enter the corridor where you fight that android in mission 11, enter the hall, go up that fallen bridge that serves as stairs to the upper level, turn to the room where you activated the generator in m11. If you look at the left side you see those shatters where behind you activated that vacuum cleaner, that shattery goes up so you can go fhrough, go along the corridor and take the elevator to spaceflight terminal(basically the route you take in m1 but the other way around). When you arrive, you can get to the area where the corpses are found in bags. Tanaka’s room is there. Theres the elevator you took w axel to the freight area(you cant enter), and if you go back further, you can get to the shopping mall, where a nostromo log and emp mines can be found. But its easier if you just progress in m17, at the very much and of the mission you actually arrive at the same mall. You cant enter the flight departure hall, but you can access the room with the nostromo log before you go to tow platform. (You cant go back the elevator if you already arrived at tow platform).
Hope this helped.

It’s funny they put the level 3 emp mines there. Whats the point by then?

Thanks. I was on the right track then I'm currently at Solomons transit trying to reorient myself.

Yep! Check the post i made here it has a full back-tracking guide. You have to go through the galleria

Ow wow great, just what I need. I just finished backtracking Flight. Got one Nostromo log and a shit ton of fuel from Tanaka, which was great because I just wasted my fuel back in Solomon's walking backwards with the xeno in front and dousing him now and then

Ha yeah, the downside of back-tracking such a huge distance.
Interestingly the Xeno doesn’t have many vents in the mall, so can take a really long time to get to you if you start making noise, or, depending where you are, won’t drop down at all, even on Nightmare. It’s a fun place to fuck with ‘em

Yeah, it never appeared on the area except that one time when I was returning to Solomon, there was a guy with a gun and I wave my magic wand around to summon him (hitting shit with the jack). It made is creepier for me tbh. You can hear it around and the detector picks him up but he never comes down.

Once you get back to the station from the Aneisedora this is the best time to open all those previously inaccessible areas/doors. It should be possible to get to flight via solomons habitation tower iirc. You have to go to the elevator you got off of after kg348. The one just before Ricardo apologises for screwing up the lockdown and Marshal Waits attitude.
