Abandoned Odysseus in 5.0

[NightmareNight91]

It never has main guns now, checked in 4 different game starts.

5.0 Stranded gamestart - main guns installed.

Did some more tests, 4 new game starts, using the argon, paranid, teladi and split start. Oddy has no main battery guns...I may just be the most unlucky person lol.

In all these years since release it never had main guns for me.

I have a bad case of Re-Start-itis so having gone to get the Oddy multiple times before and after 5.0 I can verify that sometimes the Main Guns are in fact in place. I also have the theory that if you immediately rush to go get it then the Mains are missing -- if you get it later after getting the PHQ event done, they are there. Potentially linked to a timer thing as a way of removing an early game boon of credits or being OP from the get go, making the game less challenging. Afterall with Mains and a boarding team you can go farm whatever else tickles your fancy so long as you follow some basic rules of what and where.

I think you’re right. I had never gotten the main guns but didn’t go get it first thing as usual this game. When you go to the sector as part of the Paranid storyline i tossed out an advanced satellite and Dal immediately said it was there and that there was a bounty on its return. This was the first time for me it was complete with main guns.

That would explain why I never get the guns. Didn't know Dal had dialog for it. I always just grab it early and sell for money to get miners and a station going.

Nope I always just grab it early too, with main guns often

5.10 Young Gun : rushed to the ship, main guns present
5.10 Dedicated Warrior : rushed to the ship, main guns absent

Wild theories will never explain randomness.

I was on the ship at different times in the same game. Early on it had no weapons, then later it had weapons. This was always the same in several game starts. So it's kind of totally random how the ship is equipped.
