According to devs you're stuffed :(

Chances are there was that one-in-a-million shot that opened/destroyed the crate & thus destroyed the consumable. Your best bet is go back a few saves, sorry :(

Oh, ok, thanks for the info. Seems I got unlucky.

u only need either the khaak or ancient relics set to get the shield upgrade, as once u turn in either 1 of them, u can get 2 shield upgrade
so the other will be redundant, but can do for the cash reward

The problem is that the crate in the Xenon sector is missing as well. Most likely destroyed during the last battle in the campaign :-(

Hello all,

Is there a trick to buying shield upgrades from the designated Mechanic?

I have Dashing Shields Mk4 and whilst i can sell them, I cannot buy a mk5....

Thanks,
Sparks

Edit: I have crafted both MK5 shields and I've gone to the mechanic that one of the mission-giving NPCs indicates.

I have the same problem in v4.0b2 unable to buy those shields.
The NPC has two of all three shields but I can't move the slider, even though I can sell and rebuy my currently installed shields just fine. :/

Had this before in v3.6 but devs said that it is working fine so I figured it might be mod related or something but right now in an unmodded game in v4.0b2 it still doesn't work for me.

Code: Select all

Hmm, same problem and I'm in vanilla 4.00b2 too!

Oh well, one more bug report won't hurt :)

Hm. Got the Mk5 shields from the mission, the mk3 repeater, and the mk5 engines no problem. That was in 3.61 shortly before 4.00b2 came out, I think.

Yes, the 'crafting rare/unique upgrades' problem appears to be only effecting v4b2 since it was fixed in (IIRC) v3.2

Damn, i'm in the same situation as you. I have 2 missing for Khaak artefact and 1 missing for ancient artefact. I destroyed one on accident and another was hit by NPC ships so no biggie until i found out my alternative in the xenon sector was destroyed too since i didnt claim it before the campaign ending explosion thingy...

Can't seem to be able to get the spacefly egg collection quest anywhere, although i got the eggs by mining and crafted the item.
I m playing the latest beta, anyone else has this problem?

Have you tried near stations? I don't think any of the crafting missions are in the BBS.

You're welcome.

I don't mean docking though. I just mean that the BBS only collects a sub-set of all the missions that we can find on icons outside stations. So if you can't see a mission in the BBS after looking around, you should hopefully be able to find if by looking around at icons outside a few stations.

Seems there is a major problem with the shield mission drops, I just carefully opened the container at Lonely Giant but got some random credits and junk like any old container... or have the shield drops been removed from fixed locations and made to spawn randomly in containers? I'd very much love that actually, even if it means days of searching for a needle in a haystack. Will lose 50 minutes of gameplay now to get the container back just to be safe tho, unfortunate but could be worse. :P

Just went and checked with a quick Free Play start. Kha'ak Ship Component is still in that container. Are you sure it was the right container? :)

Is there any trick in obtaining JD coolant ? I've been opening a crapton of lockboxes and have killed a lot of stuff (both Xenon and other ships) and still don't have a single one in the inventory.

You have a better chance of findingt coolant if you kill something triangular shaped wich has purple glowing bits...
