1.60 I may have found a rather nasty exploit with venture on vanilla

Post by ncmohr » Tue, 12. Feb 19, 21:45

Hi

I dont know if any of you have found this, if so then i am sorry.

I started a 1.60 game pure vanilla. Built a station and connected my venture platform. Saved my design. Then i saved the design. Built the same station in another sector using my saved design and now i have 2 venture platforms.

Interesting... Half tempted to see if that works in 2.0 Beta 1.

Were you able to send out multiple ships on multiple ventures?

From what I read at early on after the game was released, seeing multiple of the same ship was an error on Ego side, not people actually sending through multiple ships.

Nope. Definately possible, running 2.0 beta 1, just had two different Nova's by the same guy in one sector. I kinda want to do for paint jobs, but at the same time. Is it an exploit...

I have as an experiment now for 3 days been running 3 ventures at the time. It works fine. Only thing that looks weird is my inventory where i have -3/1 Venture docks (i Actually built a 4th one but never used it.)

You can also just save->[send ship on venture->load->repeat] if you want to spam many ships.

That is not right. I have sent several ships, but not on this way. :P

I tried this last night, setup 8 docks, shotguned 8 8hr ventures lost 1 ship, 57 burnite crystals but apparently no skins (~16 mill incl cash). Fired off 8 8hr more before work to test the lack of skins. Will try 8 1hr and 8 2hr tonight and report back. Not that I plan to keep doing this, currently feels like cheating. I am curious to see if the lack of skins is Egosoft's method of countering by lot letting you play dressup.

Ok. Only one ship will return with paint jobs. Second 8 shot returned 3 paintjobs and crystals/inventory/cash worth 18 million. Two hour 8 shot returned 4 paint jobs, and 3.2 million worth. So you can't farm paint jobs this way, buut it is kinda crazy with how much cash you can rake in for not even putting any economic effort in.... And of course all the crafting goods... didn't really count those but I have a...fair chunk now.

Also of note, you only get 1 set of venture modules back if you scrap all the stations.
