i see it like this if you only have a few to research your better off doing it in 5's, just to play it safe but if you have lots to research just do it in 3's if you take 5 you can do a set of 3. if i works great you have your upgraded one and still have 2 spare... if it didnt work you get 1 non upgraded one to add to your other 2 to do another group of 3. with the same chance of getting a upgrade or not

the beta version you have to opt in for on steam lirbray- right click on avorion- got to properties- beta's- opt in

the material of the turret only matters for mining and salvage turrets (but you probably already new that) as for armed turrets its all about damage and fire rate i have a iron chaingun the out classes any of the other chainguns i have found, and similarly i have 2 rail guns from a boss that have the exact same stats apart from one is xanion and one is titanium. omicron is easy to calculate just do the damage x fire rate. but the highest omicron isnt always the highest dps one set of rail guns i made have 4k omicron where as another has half that. but the ones with less also cool down a lot quicker so in a proper fight when i actually use them all until they over heat the ones which do half the damage end up firing more then twice as many shots when it comes to rarity generally the rarer ones will be better. but again not always due to RNG i spent a while and made 77 of the same exceptional turret to research well 75 to research and 2 to keep the 75 i turned into 15 exotics and them into 3 legendarys out of those 3 only 1 of them was better (over all dps) then the exceptionals they were made from

my preferred turret is the rail gun it is ideal for a smaller "hit and run" tactic type ship on my first play through i did the final boss with just 90k shields and 13k omicron all in rail guns u line up a enemy and burn towards it and as soon as its in range of all the Rail guns, let rip do a full round until u pass them turn and drift backwards firing until over heat. then line up for another pass whilst the guns are on cool down and repeat the small vessel will be thrown around by its own rail guns so line them up on a axis and in pairs on either side of the ship. but being small it is also a harder target to hit so take a lot less damage then a bigger ship

wow thanks for the xml!!! now can we make it work in the beta??? im going to try to get it flyable at least

amazing. cant wait for the xml to take a closer look at it

Hi so i'm now in the 300+ hours gang i thought it time i put a suggestion forward so me and my friend have started trying to work out stations. and atm the whole factory/mines thing is a bit odd. ok so i understand we cant make out own ship yards and things of the sort yet (hoping they'll come in with player factions) first lets go into the mines. how the hell can i pick what t o mine from a Roids logic says to me that if i claim a roid and scan it, it should tell me what it has in it ie: scanning..... .... 76%stone 10%ore 10%nobel metals 4% gems scan complete then after scanning it would be just like it is in game now, giving you the choice to sell or found. if u found the mine it would produce 10 ore 10 nobel metal and 4 gems. or 5 5 2 something like that. now the factorys... well if i was a space fairing being who had the money to set up a mine or 4 and a few factorys... well i would make them do more then one thing for example hmm i need water and solar for this farm.... why not just incorporate them into the farm and even better if you set up to grow crops why not grow them all not just one. maybe assign different numbers of unskilled crew to the different types of farm, ie 3 worker on rice 1 on wheat and 2 on corn to implement something like this in game maybe have it like a tree system. so you purchase your station founder and take it to set it up in your sector "found station" station type 1=simple 2=advanced 3=technical so on if you set up a simple it starts out just a solar collector (energy cells) you then build it and it gets to a set size (like how module slots open once you ship is a set size) and now it gives you another choice "add Section to station" 1=water collector 2=farm 1 3=farm 2 4=animal farm 5 =ect this way you could start a small station early game and keep adding more and more to it and adding more "sections" there would need to be restrictions and what not and a lot more fleshing out of the idea. but i think i get the basics of it down here

i believe the beacons are more common further out ( as there are less things to spawn in yellow zones further out) just keep checking them and make your way to the outer sectors (as the quest will lead you out that way anyway) you'll find a pair soon enough.

trading made simple... step 1 find a military outpost step 2 see what it wants to buy step 3 find places that sell stuff it wants (even trading posts with there up't pricing) step 4 sell all the things and never need to make money again seriously it is that easy the military outposts seem to pay a lot more then any other place. as a standard practise i will now carry things they want on me when exploring so if i find new factions i can get them up to a decent rep quickly. sell them some Roids until they are yellow poor relations and then go to a military outpost and sell what ever they want and instant admired pretty much

keep checking hidden mass sectors (yellow dots) until you find a pair of matching beacons you can check in the player tab under missions to see the ones you've found so far by i pair i mean something like this #42 x=-76 #42 y=232 once u find a pair that match just follow the cords

i seem to be having the same problem. in older save i had no issues find M.A.D research satellites but this play through (on the latest beta branch) i found 3 within 1 or 2 jumps of each other. but no 4th. so far i have made it round 1/4 of the core at about the right distance checking every yellow blip i see and no luck and i am also noticing the empty yellow sectors as well.

Nope i've had no update as of yet. i defeated the boss on normal with the lil ship above. but i would like to still try calling in the allies. im sure when koonschi finds a fix he'll let us no, but im also sure he is very busy fixing and developing other parts of the game also.In the mean time there is plenty to do in game.

did u put Avorion hyperspace cores on your ship? as far as i can tell they allow you to jump over rifts

Ask yourself !! Look how far the checkpoint are behind the rift, this is the distance you need to add to the last smuggler to find a new one. then add a lil more to be on the safe side of things

travel further out before retaking the quest, as the quest seems to spawn the location a set distance away from where u take. but always towards the core
