29th Data Vault

Post by dtpsprt » Wed, 17. Mar 21, 08:06

In V4.00 Boso Ta expects 29 Data Vaults to be found.

Is it a new (unnamed) feature of V4.00 or a bug?

If not a bug:

1. What happens to the people that have the achievement of the 28? Do they loose it?
2. Where is that 29th Data Vault?
3. Do the Data Vaults connect with any plot line (finally) instead of giving a "well done"?

I saw a datavault in one of the pre-release version streams by Captain Collins.
Only going to say: Check the CoH sectors.

Can you give a hint as to which sector it is in as I can't find it anywhere?

The new datavault is part of a plot, where you find the owl ship, i think it was in the same sector.

WOW!!!! Good thing I posted this in the SPOILERS forum. If, by mistake, I had it posted in the "normal" one someone who knew something would have written about it instead of tease those too fed up with useless quests, not able to put some 100 hours more on the game just for a big fat "Well Done"

its in the void ... south of the gate and like 50-100km north of the ecliptic. you go right by it in the quest to get the Geometric Owl. but i dont think it does anything .. i already had all previous 28 and 29th did not generate any new timeline entries even tho it stated that it did.

not sure why the other person stated it was in the CoH sectors. there isnt any data vaults in the terran sectors as far as i know.

Most probably because that person show it in that video but, of course did not know where the events of the video were taking place. Never seen any video that would refer the sector anything is happening except the all too obvious "Starting the Split gamestarts" ones... Most probably to avoid spoilers... again the reason I put my post in the "Spoilers" forum....

Thanks for the info... I open Data Vaults as a source of early cash, SETA components and some modparts. Opened all of them once in V3.00 just to get a fat "Thank you" and nothing more... Was just wondering if this has changed with the 29th, si it might b worth to "dedicate" some hours in opening them now...

in my opinion the reward is watching the very well done timeline. most of the timeline story has good pictures and narration. its like a cool story of x4 lore =)

I suppose that for someone that is new to the X Universe it might be worth... And if it is just done once it's OK (it even gives an achievement on Steam). I was mostly worried if there is anything else depended on the Data Vaults with the introduction of the 29th.
Of course I wouldn't expect Egosoft to announce anything if that was the case :roll: :roll: :roll:

Hmmm it seems as though this one is bugged or it doesn't count. I went here to the void and found it. I was on 28/29 data vaults found, scanned it using shift + 2 and after decrypting got nothing. I made sure to mark as read all encyclopaedia entries and nothing new was added. Also the quest didn't complete im still 28/29.

I started a new game when the expansion came out and this happen to me also. Guess that mission is staying stuck in the logs for this play through.

THe datavault in The Void where you are guided to in the project genesis storyline unlocked date 763 for me.
Not the one which should come from the 29th data vault.
This makes me thing there should be another one.

In my last playthrough, I started with the CoH data vault : the mission counter showed 1/29. But the vault #23 in Second Contact XI did not count. When I scanned its data leak, I had the message "Data decrypted", but no "New entry added to the timeline". In the end, I'm also stucked with 28/29 data vault unlocked.

Thanks for the report.

With CoH there are 29 data vaults, but only 28 timeline entries to unlock. And if you start a new game, you will keep the timeline entries but will still have 29 data vaults to open up, and the mission will reflect that.
Come watch me on Twitch where I occasionally play several of the X games
