[Crafting] XRebirth Secret
Moderator: Moderators for English X Forum
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.

I didnt mean i would actually dock to look around, i just didnt phrase it right.Sparky Sparkycorp wrote: 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.
I didnt know bbs doesnt collect every mission in a zone, so I used mission computer mod cause there is no chance i would do the fly around a 2nd time after i mapped everything including docking to have an agent on every station.
The weird thing is, during beta, the mission computer didnt pick up anything regarding that mission (A healthy enthusiasm), as soon as i switched to release i got it on the 1st zone i visited.
Anyway the mk3 is amazing although the heat build up is killing me.
Cheers!
I spent last 6 hours flying all around Albion looking for rare engine mission (I have it crafted already, sitting in my inventory). IIRC, there is a 40% chance that a treasure hunt mission will spawn in zone. Did they change anything or I am that unlucky.
Oh, and yeah - I am searching near station, I don't trust BBS with something that important.

Same deal, I have not found any of the unique crafting missions in my current game, and I am currently building the plot station.Quawis wrote:I spent last 6 hours flying all around Albion looking for rare engine mission (I have it crafted already, sitting in my inventory).

Just use the mission computer mod to find the mission and then follow the steps to remove it when you are done.
Its save friendly and will save you a lot of time searching for something that might not be in the zone you are. Thats how i got my spacefly egg collection craft mission the day HOL was released.

Rare/'shady' missions /will not/ appear in the BBS until you've found the relevant icon on a station & flown close enough to 'scan' it; this is WAD for v4
HOWEVER I've noticed that the frequency of these missions appears to drop if you have all the required components; this may be an attempt to control spacefly (or rare engine) farming for cash, or it may be my imagination: I haven't tested this
With my new (v4 release) Plot start I've picked up enough eggs [auth] to create 2 rare weps (1 for use, the other to give me a cash boost for intermediate upgrades; I'm not yet PMC hostile). I haven't yet found a single egg mission /after/ gaining all the ingredients & flying around stations (dropping TAs) in the last couple of hours; prior to my gaining ingredients (but not crafting) they were popping up fairly regularly..
WRT rare engines the same applies, but you're likely to spend far more time hunting the last 1 or 2 ingredients, so the mission frequency drop is unlikely to affect you so much (again, grab it ASAP initially then as-and-when it becomes available/convenient for the cash)
SO a tip for new game starters: accept the wep (egg) mission once you come across it & then go get the ingredients. It'll be a PITA to fly back to the mission giver, but prolly take a lot less time than hunting up the mission again..

If you have the Teladi Outpost DLC and can't seem to find the Rare missions, search through the stations in Fatal Path -> Sanctuary and/or Sea-green Oasis. They are smaller than other stations and less complex, which means that the missions are a bit easier to find. Got my rare shield & weapon there last night.
Ive now made a video to accompany the info for this.
X Rebirth - Ancient Artifact Locations - Mk5 Shields
Spoiler heavy so only watch if you dont want to search yourself !
Thanks to the op for gathering the info (made my life a lot easier

If a girl seems as shy as a mouse, you still have to look out for the tiger within her.
