How to gain access to repair drones without befriending Atreus

[fireanddream]

So the "Acquire special ship" command is supposedly gonna get me a ship blueprint. There's no espionage counterpart of it. And now my Atreus rep is at rock bottom from my former gunner challenging sandbox start, so now how in the world can I get a drone extended blueprint, except repairing this rep from the rock bottom?
Will RE a boron guppy give me this blueprint?

All drones have a repair option.

Extended Drones which have 3 repair lasers and can come from either Atreus or Boron.

All drones are added as per RE (or purchase) of any drone ship. (It might be production of the first and not RE, so don't quote me yet.)

I don't think the Atreus Guppy required an agent to acquire, but there is definitely a Guppy flying around Ocean of Fantasy. I got mine there last playthrough.

I totally need the boron ones, 3x efficiency yay.

And yes I just capped a guppy from Atreus, my rep went from 4% rock bottom to 4% rock bottom lol. Had to kite it all the way around the sector to be separated from the other capital ships.

Now RE-ing at homebase. Hopefully will give me the blueprint.

If it doesn't work with the RE, it will when you rebuild the ship. I wanna say they will appear after RE. I know I built some to put on fresh Kariudo, but don't think I rebuilt the Guppy when I was done with it. I agree though with the Extended. They make for repairing boarded ships a breeze.

Confirm it gives you the blueprint of both when RE'd.

Depending on how many M7Ds and drones you think you need, you may find that making friends with Atreus just long enough to buy them may be faster. In my case, I'm going to need 66 drones for 11 more M7Ds.

Why the hell do you need 12 M7Ds

Because every time you need one, you forget where you parked them.

At least I do.

I actually planned to get 18. I already have 6 Guppies, so I only need to buy another 12 Ariadnes. As to why I want so many? 1 each for the 7 HSAPs I claimed. 1 each for the 3 claimable sectors. 1 each for the 6 Teladi Shipyards to dispose of captured ships. 1 more for free assignment and the last for reverse engineering.

Not sure if I'll ever set up complexes in every one of those claimed sectors but if I do, the M7Ds will be there to support the defenses.

If you want to buy these special ships, best to do it all at once, requires the fewest Influence and Agents.

Couple it with a price reduction agent. Save some credits in the process. If you are lucky, one will glitch like mine and get stuck unlocked. I think I caused it by returning both agents at about the same time. Teladi one stayed unlocked.
