[Spoiler] Special Discoveries

Post by dony93 » Fri, 7. May 21, 23:59

Hi everyone! First of all I'd like to say that I'm really enjoying the game: the new additions are excellent and the new exploring features are even better. Thanks Devs!

Let's go to the topic: I've managed to find two special discoveries.

The first one, as you may know, triggers a new plot (cool!)
but what about the others? I tried to exchange the second one with a EG representative but nothing happened. Is it a bug? Thanks for the help!

the ones you get in your cargo hold you can turn in to the Explorers Guild for a boost of points.

but the option is currently missing, it'll be available in the next update, so hold onto your Special Discoveries

I think the thing about not trading these is a bug, which will be fixed in the next patch IIRC.

But the other thing is a new info for me. Nothing like that happened for me, so maybe we found another bug?

Thanks Cycrow, I'll wait! :wink:

@mrxd: It can be that it's not specifically related to the special discovery but just a coincidence. I don't know!

you find find discoveries and special discoveries to pick up, which earn your discovery points.

but you can also turn your points in for discoveries and special discoveries. These are actually buying coordinates for new things to find, which could include things like new ships, wares, etc

They're currently increasing DP by 10K upon collection; dunno if this is intended

They're currently not visible in the cargo hold: maybe the update will change things?
