Quick guide to infinite riches... and more! - improvements in upcoming update 1.2

Post by Deianeira » Sat, 5. Jun 21, 18:15

PSA: Don't read this if you don't want to spoil the game for yourself!
Spoiler
Show
What you need:
  • Ship with M-sized cargohold and at least 40 free cargo space
  • Freight scanner, transporter device and cargo bay hacker
  • Special command software
Where you go: Ocean of Fantasy Gamma, Large Orbital Weapons Platform near Atreus Headquarters

What you do:
  1. Activate Cargo Bay Hacker and steal the only unprotected jump beacon in the game 8)
  2. Eject jump beacon
  3. Use Special Command "Collect deployed item" on your jump beacon
  4. Collect the spawned extra container with yet another jump beacon in it
  5. repeat

Each jump beacon is worth 280 Million credits and has useful gameplay applications too!

Sick of long travel times through TOAs? Tired of huge sectors? Use instant travel through your new jump beacon network! :lol:

Duplicating deployed items has never looked scary. You'll get two satellites or two laser towers instead of one. It didn't change anything. But with jump beacons, it's a whole different level

Is this a legal way to get jump beacon? Instead of hunting for quick response groups

btw, beautiful catch, Deianeira :)

Fun facts:
You can hack stations with cargo bay hacker.
Some ships have cargobay protection even when they don't have this upgrade.
Large orbital platform have unique "strafe drive extension", and for some reason when this extension was added to library, unfocused jumpdrive was appeared to. Even though I don't have it as a player

Well, the strafe drive extension definitely helps those immobile platforms, as in my current game it moved quite a bit away from the Atreus HQ :lol:

It‘s a lot more fun to actually play the game. I wouldn‘t use that.

I just wanted to check how fast you can get credits, and yea ....

200 beacons in 30min, this is just insa... perfect.

I am pleased to announce you my new Deianeira Superhigway, though the Terran sector.

Sold 6 so far, this is more than i ever need (without loosing the gameplay motitivation), and used the rest to build a solid jump route to Earth :D

I at least like the idea that you can grab one jump beacon for free that way, for your HQ.
But the collecting dupping thing, should be removed/fixed?

RIP infinite money. I got my jump beacon the harder way by looking for an RRF and frying it up.

Last time I had a jump beacon network I was exploiting the freight drone duplication bug. Seems good old days are back!

I consider that a feature and not a bug so it shouldn't be fixed.
