Also, how do you view how much renown you have?

I've got a problem. As part of the main storyline, rumors said that a person "could help" me with this mission, so I went to her(she was a mechanic) and she said she'd help if I cleared out a vermin den. I cleared out the den, and went back. She gave me a grenade launcher, but said nothing else(other than it would help clear out groups). The memo about having cleared out the vermin is still in my memo list, but the NPC only does the normal repair shop routine, and I seem to be stuck on the quest.

Sometimes the 'help' an NPC gives is incidental to the questline. What's the quest exactly? Do you have any other rumours or memos about it (if not you could try asking some NPCs for rumours)?

Thanks. Don't need help with the other question now though, found out you hit P for tactics mode by accident lol. Was actually looking to see if there was a message log I could bring up, guess there isn't unfortunatly.

Thanks 

 I changed my lancemates gear around on him and lightened him down to 0 TV/MV. Took both his Vulcans for myself lol. He now has Heavy Swarm Missiles 16 mounted on each leg, Railgun in one hand, and a Magna Spear mounted on his chest (hopefully the penalty isn't to bad). I have a fairly good feeling about this working well.

I don't see anyone mentioning other secret keys...

"~" (shift and press the key left of 1 on US keyboards) lists your skill level up progress.
# brings up a dialog for entering debug code. Don't mess with it unless you have backup your saves.
! brings up a dialog that seems to be plot elements.
^ lists co-ordinates of objects you can interact with (e.g. doors, containers, locations you can enter) in the current location.
* brings up a dialog of objects in the current location.

There are others (just shift + keys on number row), but I don't know what those are for.

It's "Save <Big Bad's> ex-lover from assassin". Before doing the vermin clearing job, I also paid a reporter(over the phone, incidentally. Wireless transactions much?) for her "help", which turned out to be a neat little tidbit that the assassin was in love with the bad guy. I haven't gotten any other rumors about the quest though.

Are you sure? They should be somewhere in the station exterior, but maybe they'll only show up if you get the rumor. ("so-and-so said [assassin] is looking for [ex] in the [station] exterior")
The reporter's information allows you to resolve the situation without violence, but since the assasin will still hate you (at least if you kill the Big Bad they will, which, I'm guessing is unavoidable) I don't see much point to that...

I think there's at least one mission like this that requires a successful Awareness role to find the location.

I just don't get it. I have two lancemates. I've had one for a while, the second one is a new addition. The new guys has 10 in all relevant skills and simlar stats to the first guy. Despite this, the new guy is constantly getting his mech destroyed. Both guys drive Vadels. The new guys Vadel is a factory model (I replaced it after he got it destroyed in the first fight), while the old guy has some changes in weapon layout. Regardless, movement, TR and armor is the same for both mechs. Neither has ECM, as I've been unable to buy any. Still the new guy with much higher skills is constantly getting himself wasted. Why? What am I missing? I don't mind losing a mech here and there - I had an interlude where I lost like three mechs in a row, always downgarding and losing an eye in the process - but this is ridicilous when on paper he should be better than the first companion or my main character.

Stats? They could have high skills but horribly low stats.

? What a strange idea.

@Majestic - post the save and we'll have a look?

I've seen them with 11 in all skills but 8 in speed/reflex.

[Il Palazzo]

I guess it's a random choice then. The last few lancemates that I remember had above average stats.
