What are the ships that count under the Rare Blueprint achievement? Are they the buyable special ships? I heard that achievement may be bugged, so I'd like to know for sure.
That's because the only set of blueprints I have yet to get are the Terran ones. If there's no achievement for that, I might leave it aside for now and just go after the Valhalla.

Re: Rare Blueprint Collector achievement
I think it is bugged because the achievement counts the UFO. Otherwise, any ships with an "enhanced" "advanced" and "prototype" pre- and suffix as well as Yaki, Pirate, and corporate ships are a safe bet.

Special Blueprint Collector:
- 5 ships - only Aldrin- and Deca-ships
- no suprise there
Rare Blueprint Collector:
- 39 ships + UFO
- All Dplomacy-ships (except Guppy, Advanced Baracuda)
- Prototyps for Mercury, Vulture, Demeter, Tukan, Scorpion, Asp, Nova
- Advanced for Express, Eclipse
- Enhanced for Mercury, Kea
- [Edit] Vanguard (not Raider) for Kite, Hyperion
Common Blueprint Collector:
- 309 ships - all the rest [Edit] minus some
- including non-buyables like Walhalla, Maru, Xenon, Kha'ak, Starbust, Arrow, Tukan-Freighter and some more M3-M5.
- [Edit] no: Wahlhalla, Maru, Atmo-TL are neither Commen nor Rare
I have already contacted CYCROW and he was kind enough to answer. In short:
“UFO-blueprint is removed in next Patch [v1.4]… If there is a next patch”
Re: Rare Blueprint Collector achievement
No point in going for the Terran special ships then. Valhalla hunting it is.
Re: Rare Blueprint Collector achievement
According to this aged post (10th post from top) it is / was possible to add blueprints via memory hacking.
So we (might still) have a method to add the as of yet unobtainable 'UFO blueprint" !
What I am still searching for are the (hex?) values for the for the ufo and some other easy to get blueprints like the scorpion.
Don't have clue, can't find or can't understand the given reference. Would like a helping hand on this...

Re: Rare Blueprint Collector achievement
that would only work if you still had an obtainable blueprint left to get.
as simply adding the blueprint to the memory would not trigger the achievement check. So you will need to obtain a blueprint in the normal way after to trigger it

Rapid Response Post! 
I see the danger to it, as it would apply to any blueprint (even weapons, shield and whatnots) and could turn the 'Collector'-achievements even more meaningless. But thats the same for 'Epic Empire', 'Xtreme', 'Influential'(?) and many more.
... or is there some news (or ETA) for patch 1.4?
So, despite of that ... Can or will you help? I am nearing the 688 blueprints in a second game (left some out on purpose)...

Re: Rare Blueprint Collector achievement
i've never used any of the memory hackers/cheat engine, so i wouldn't know exactly how they work.
but simply adding the blueprint will most likely not be possible, as they are stored in a table, and simply modifying memory wouldn't allow you to add items into a table that easily.
what was described in the post was changing the production queue item, which wouldn't actually add the blueprint.
A better option might be to simply find an existing blueprint, and replace the id with that of the UFO.
one of the special ships would be best for this, as they wont generally be found elsewhere, like the Spitfyre or Springblossom.
the id for all types in the game are stored as a main and sub type, the sub type being the position in the types file. The main type makes up the upper 16bit and the sub type the lower 16bit of a single integer.
you can also find the value of any item using the script editor

Re: Rare Blueprint Collector achievement
I thank you sincerely, even if most of it is wasted on me.

Crap... I am so out of my depth here.
