[X3AP] Damn you spacefly!
Where are these little evil creatures i wonder..?
So typical, i was just making screenshots of them the other day, but now when i need them they seem to have vanished. I finally can arm enough ships to advance our shady business with my split pals.
I want to see them zapped by my IDs already
Are there any other factors apart from roid proximity that can help find them?
On one of my screens i have a nearby roid targeted, so i see it's ID. Is there a script that tells you what object id can be found where in the universe? Does it even make sense to go back to the same place, or they aren't tied to any location?
I could buy them at StrongArms, but i hope i don't have to resort to that!

Maybe Zaphod knows a nice cocktail recipe involving these little bastards..

There are some spacefly hints and some myths busted in here.
A dog has a master; a cat has domestic staff.
I believe they don't buzz around your ship (don't appear) unless you stop moving completely. Bunch of guides say "speed less than 50 m/s" but I haven't had luck unless fully stopped.
The noise they make loops, and sounds a bit new age-y, so turn your in-game music off, and if you hear high pitched sounds sort of like music, that's them.

I know somebody wrote that Spaceflies spawned in Strongarms HQ but I never found even 1 there. Did you?

Spaceflies
Spaceflies are listed on the menu for Strong Arms and many pirate bases. They are there when the game starts and possibly when you open the sector for the first time, or when a new pirate base has just spawned.
One sure way to get Spaceflies is to blow up a Pirate Stock Exchange that lists them on the menu. A Stock Exchange will respawn in the same place in a gameday or two. A regular pirate base will respawn somewhere else. Strong Arms HQ is involved in a plot in AP and cannot be destroyed. Many times we do not have the Sat directly showing a pirate base. So remember to check it physically when you think it's time.

Bill in S.F., enjoying the game
Parking a CLS at Strong Arms HQ was exactly how I got the Spaceflies I needed. Left it there while I went Spacefly hunting. Checked in on it while I kept failing to capture any flies. Eventually, it got the 7 I needed. Already had three before the plot started.pref wrote:Iirc it takes quite a few hours until they restock. If it's bought up quickly by npcs, then there is a high chance you will never see it - unless you park a cls ship on the station.
But no i have never seen a spacefly there, though i only checked once in this game.
