Where are all the detonators ?

Post by exogenesis » Wed, 27. Apr 16, 21:20

Might be a spoiler forum topic...?

kyon torpedos
I find I'm loathe to use them, cos they're too precious, which sort of makes them useless.

Can't seem to make any more cos not finding any more detonators for quite a while now,
where do you find them ? (I can't remember where I got them).

Would like to use them if I thought I could make them regularly,
since they're damn useful (in tests) against large targets..

Detonators are random rare drops IIRC, along with the other non-Khaak parts

Never played AP; all X3 advice is based on vanilla+bonus pack TC or before: AP has not changed much WRT general advice.

Oh, OK then I'll just have to wait till some turn up,
I guess I'll have to go intensive on general fighter killing (rather than just Khaak)

But it does seem that some items suddenly got a lot rarer at some recent(ish) time(s),
like :

AM Regulator (for crafting Rare Engine)
Decryption Module (for crafting Security Decryption System)
Delexian Ale (for crafting Red Water gift)
Amphetamine Sulphate (for crafting Haze gift)
Chipped Diamonds (for crafting Paranid Jewelery gift)

even though I've collected dozens if not hundreds of the all other components.


And obviously Scrap Metal (for Metal Alloys), now that it's used for weapon mod crafting,
wish I'd kept all those hundreds of Alloys from previously.

You can try this mod: http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=384956

Is creates a menu where you can see the content and relative distance of every container in the zone. It's a real help if you arrive in a system with tons of loot lying around, and don't want to spend time trying to get it all in fear of missing rare loot you're looking for.

It won't help the rare items drop rate, but it will help you gather stuff.

It works perfectly fine for me with 4.00
Humans are deuterostomes, which means that when they develop in the womb the first opening they develop is the anus.
This means that at one point you were nothing but an asshole.

Some people never develop beyond this stage.

It must be your particular game. I usually have speed coming out of my ears by mid/lategame, as it drops very frequently from all sorts of on-station lockers, boxes etc as well as fighter debris. Chipped diamonds & Ale similarly, but they're most often found in Albion & DV tunnels as they have more of a mining-based economy. Rare Engine parts seem to vary with each game; sometimes I can wait for ages for an axle; other times it might be a different bit

OTOH I've never noticed much of a trend with the SDS parts; they all seem to be fairly regular in drop rate

Well I went intensive on trying to get a detonator drop from non-khaak fighters (took on all the ATL pirates I could find),
got one of each of AM Regulator, Decryption Module & a few Delexian Ale,
aaand 2 detonators.

Was beginning to wonder if there's a limit of 10 at any given time (got 10 kyon torps crafted),
so just rare then...

I sincerely doubt there's any limit; I've certainly had more than 10 of assorted bits at once..
