Advanced Exploration Finds


Eldred

Recommended Posts

On my last turn "much was learned about Mk VII Pursuit Missile technology!".

 

Being as I haven't even got Mk I Pursuit Missiles yet it seems that the tech tree must be very high indeed! I was wondering what other high level discoveries people have found. Is Mk VII about the limit or do we have a Mk XVII out there? What about 8th Generation Civil Engineering or does it stop at the 3rd or 4th generation?

The highest that I have found are--

 

6th Generation Horizon Techs

Mk VI Engines (Nuclear, Fusion, Anti-Matter)

Mk VII Torpedoes

Heavy Weapons (Laser, Pulse Laser, X-Ray Laser)

 

--but I have also seen things like Dyson Sphere, Mk II Universal Gate and Spinal Mount weapons.

 

At the current research rates - check back with me in 2010, I should be able to give you more. :lol:

Have discovered a few of the mentioned tech's (albeit at lower levels) but the strangest discovery so far has been T'ckon 68 Technology. Possibly so advanced it hasn't been given a name yet?!

 

It is quite clear from this list of techs, if we didn't know it already, that more than a little imagination and thought has gone into the game.

Damn it! Damn it all to hell! I got two pathfinders doing XEPL every turn and now they decide to find something of intrest but discard all 3, yes 3 different items, for lack of cargo space! ARGH! :thumbsup:

Anger growing!

Irrational pounding of fists upon desk!

Humbly sending email to Pete to remove all XEPL orders.

lugal,

 

I would hate to think your anger is getting the better of you.

 

I share your concern at the loss of finds when using Pathfinders, maybe I missed something (quite likely) but why stop them doing EXPL orders - unless they are needed for another purpose.

 

My argument is this; It was worthwhile last turn for them to explore solely for Tech advances and the very slim chance of finding an alien ship, why the change now? There is still the chance that they will find a tech advance. You are not really losing anything tangible in the role of the dice that indicates they find cargo.

 

Personally I favour building cargo fitted scouts in different fleets and setting them up to search separately increasing the odds of finding tech advances with the bonus of finding cargo.
