Can Jake Logan finish the final mission of the game, the final objective set by the director of Fringe Operations himself? Can he end the war between the Bora and Galspan, secure profits for the company and end up going home victorious and rich? 

It took a lot longer then you'd think to get to this point in the mission again. With no checkpoints, the entire mission had to be repeated each time I failed, including the long period where the director talks to Jake directly and the mission progresses no further each time. Sometimes I would die on the return journey from picking up the Bora leader, other times I would get shot up so much by the Bora frigates at the start I was easy pickings for the Battleaxes en route to picking her up. Once Mishka died, a consequence I couldn't accept having at the end of my missions. 

Overall, I love Tachyon the Fringe. It's a game that stood out to me as one out of place among my general interest in RPGs, FPS games and the like. I don't often take a shine to flight sims and this one is one of two that remain close to my heart - the other has quite a different theme altogether and is a game I might approach with LPing in mind one day. Jake Logan is a character I like and the setting is quite fleshed out, especially if you play with both factions. No one side is entirely in the right and both are out to achieve their goals by any means and it shows. Plus there's some classic pew pew action with spaceships and explosions in space. 

Will I ever return to Tachyon? I'm not ruling it out. If I did, I'd try to show off the Bora exclusive missions but there's also the possibility of picking it up from the choice of joining the Bora and seeing where it takes me. For now, we'll leave Jake with the ending Galspan gives and wonder what could have been. 

See you next LP!
