An ingenious mission if I've ever played one, and I've played quite a few.
I love the [SPOILER]fingerprint kit on buttons thing[/SPOILER]. It could have done with random break-inable shops, but the way the mission is designed is amazing enough as it is. Great work.

Well I must just say that this was great mission, very enjoyable indeed! I loved the place, the way it looks and feels was spot on, but then, Shipping...and Receiving is one of my favorite missions.
I kind of missed the droning ambients of Shipping..., although the original ambient sounds in Saints and Thieves were excellent.
I understand that in a mission this size one easily hits the Dromed limits, so I'm not complaining at all, merely imagining how magnificient this mission would've been had there been more life on the streets, more props, even as simple as crates, wheelbarrows (or whatever they were), perhaps some civilians in the offices, perhaps guards with helmets (that you can't knock out) carrying lamps and shops to break into....
As it is now, the place feels a bit empty.
But those points are really irrelevant. This mission is very high-class, and I had a heck of a good time taffing it! Excellent work, all around. Thank you for this! :D :thumb:

Getting back to Harley's question about the orange door.
[SPOILER]In the small warehouse is an orange door, maybe red, whatever. It's locked. I can't seem to find a key or switch. The smugglers cargo obj is checked as it was not completed. What's up? Did I do something out of order? Is behind that door the smugglers cargo.[/SPOILER]
[SPOILER]Someone said "look up". I did. There are metal beams up there and a grate. The rope arrow won't stick into the beams, the grate or the skylight. I went downstairs and didn't find a way to get under. No way in from outside or any of the other rooms in this building and the objective has a red circle with a slash through it. [/SPOILER]
Is there a way through this door? If so, can I have another clue.

Where do you get a rope arrow?
Also, I did the saint thing and looted the vault... but I don't have any other keys! In particular, no captain's key, or key to the safe in his office.
Third, I have absolutely no idea where to find the evidence I'm supposed to steal, unless it's in the location in the paragraph above.
Fourth, in the vault, there is a grate at the top of the circular stairway; I can see the lever to open it -- on the other side, tantalizingly out of reach. Is there some way to get in there? Also, I see a couple of cups on high windows on that same stairway; but without a rope arrow, I can't get at them. I really think I'm supposed to have found one by now; I must have missed something blindingly obvious.
Edit: Hah, got the goblets! Four skulls were high enough.
Baffled.... :weird:
It was difficult to figure out how to ghost the saint thingie, but I managed!

The droning sounds wouldn't have fit in with the atmosphere. Given the layout, feel and balanced difficulty of the mission there's no real need for more guards.

[spoiler]climb the crates onto the railing - there's some crates high enough[/spoiler]

I didn't find any rope arrows in the mission, but I purchased one at the loadout screen.

I'm sure there's was/is one somewhere. For the life of me I can't remember where, though. :(

Amazing mission :thumb:
Although I managed to miss over 500 loot. Wonder where it is.

To get through that door[SPOILER]go out to smaller room to the south and up onto crates up onto smaller crate and hop onto beam then walk along beam to get inside this room[/SPOILER] :thumb:
By the way there is a rope arrow in there
