I think re2 is more about having the right tools for the job. I allready have 4 vessels each having their own purpose, in the past I've just made do with multi purpose ships.

Agree, the days of the all purpose ship is over, deciding which ships to use will lift the game to another level.

Activate the Dead Planets mission and grab the log from the Emergency signal.. Its a slow burn mission as you need to visit all 6 types of dead planet, one of which only exists in the Wastelands. Also the removal of the Unfinished Escape rocket is only from starter systems (if the rumour is correct).

[@stephenmoon6644]

I've tried the dread start and couldn't find it.

[@StephenSilverbeard]

Ty for the information. Will check the dead planet mission.

@@stephenmoon6644 Useful to know. When salvaging the unfinished escape rocket, I put down a CV starter block just in front of 1 wing, then add 1 container controller, and then a 3widex 1 deep array of 40 container expansions across the back, 6 small mobile solar panels (although you'll now need to use small plasmas) vertically (3 per side), 1 small generator, 1 fuel tank, and 1 o2 tank, then enough elevator blocks to get up to the gantry. I then build a 3x3x1 high room (using windows 8+8+9+2 shutters) at the top with a wifi, o2 station, and ventilator. It means you can loot the rocket into the CV without being outside or worrying about wifi connection, and then transfer everything back to you main CV. To start you get all the parts from the structure around the Escape rocket, then just keep them in storage. Assuming the core hasn't moved in the Space command centre, then if you blow the 2nd RH stair (as you go up) then it takes out the core.. takes about 5 explosive charges. It's faster than trying to go in through the blocked door and then the corner truss block.

I'd love to see more trader stuff - I just cannot seem to find the right traders to get the missions or develop the trade routes, so I tend to ignore it.

[@pagansavage5267]

If you play on Spanj's server, they have a spreadsheet that lists all the traders in each star system. I've downloaded it and use it as a template for my single player game.

[@jackal4061]

@@pagansavage5267 I play SP. Is it available on his Discord perhaps?

[@StephenSilverbeard]

I am in a similar situation. in the past trading was a way to make some cash and by optronic bridges. It is going to take time to learn the locally traded items and those items needed for local missions. Feel the larger game of trading between systems still needs work, but have a feeling it will get there.

[@pagansavage5267]

I should explain this better. They have generated a spreadsheet that has most, if not all the traders used in the game with the items that they sell. They just populate the spreadsheets with system names/planet name/trade stations name/ traders/prices. I have the spreadsheet loaded onto my table and add info that I think I'll need.

[@StephenSilverbeard]

That makes sense, did something similar when I play X3, it was the only way to keep track of the traders and what they wanted. My main concern with long distance trading is maintaining the supply of pentaxid. Can see a large Pentaxid farm in the the future.
