Getting Xperimental Ship
Major Story Spoilers!
- Play through the timelines expansion and do all the missions.
- Find the secret room in the dark area of the facility.
- Have conversations with the person in the secret room until she asks you to find three items for her, deliver said items.
- She will tell you to get back to you as soon as everything is done. If that doesn’t happen naturally, replay the final mission of graph 6 until the communication error occurs. You can quit the mission then.
- Enjoy the conclusion of the Timelines expansion and load a sand box save after having experienced the end in the white room.
- In the sandbox game: Boso will call you and tell you about strange signals. Talk to him and start the mission (there should be a mission in your journal).
- Follow the missions (includingn the barter mission) until you rescue someone from a dangerous situation by providing diplomatic aid or manual labor if your reputation is too low.
- You will then be led to “The Grandmother”, do as she says and lead her to Boso.
- After a short cutscene you will have the Xperimental Shuttle in your available ships and the blueprint to build it.
Pro Tip: You can install modifications to the shuttle, making it probably the most overpowered S ship out there. This thing is INSANE.
I sincerely hope this was helpful. Good luck to you!
When I purchased Timelines, I completely eradicated Xenon from my universe. I now have the H, B, and F, but without the weapon blueprints, the ships are essentially worthless. Is there a way for me to obtain the H blueprints’ Quantum Data Shard?
It was in the epilogue that I recently acquired the Experimental Shuttle. However, it states that you are no longer able to own duplicates of the four racing ships and the experimental ship at my wharf. I take it that this is done on purpose? I understand that it would seem a little absurd to see a hundred “experimental ships” in the air. However, I was sort of looking forward to expanding my fleet with the new ships, and the exp ship is so awesome that it’s unfortunate you can only get one.
I noticed that I was able to obtain the Xenon H prior to receiving my PHQ, so will I be unable to reverse engineer that once I have the ability to research? Thank you in advance! I see that all the other ships I received allowed me to conduct research.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to reverse-engineer the new Xenon ships. They can only be claimed or boarded, but if you take down a few of the recently released Xenon ships, they may drop an item that will allow you to start researching new models of equipment. In this manner, you can take ownership of them and give them Xenon technology.
Does that mean I can only obtain this one by hauling the other one away first? The Kestrel Sport is inside an anomaly for me, so when I get out in my spacesuit, I teleport away from it.
Perhaps you should send a marine to retrieve it. That should prevent the anomaly problem, but it will slightly damage the hull.
How did you alter the colors of your ship?
The 7.0 update added the ability to modify the color of the user interface (UI) in the “color-blind options.”
I apologize for my poor English; it’s not my first language. Tell me if I put in a save where I finish all of the Timelines DLC; will I receive achievements for that or not? I didn’t want them to find me on their own. I appreciate your response.
That one is beyond me to respond to. While some achievements can be unlocked in this manner, others might need you to be present when the prerequisite is satisfied (i.e., not load a save that has already completed the necessary steps).
I finished everything.
I spoke with the main AI; how can I obtain the mu shuttle and dart?
Regards
Change to the Open Universe mode and bide your time until Boso Ta gets in touch with you. If you don’t see Boso contacting you, double-check that the mission is marked as inactive in your mission log. It could be added to your mission log without your knowledge.
I located the Odachi, but it’s not working well—the turrets don’t fire, and the front landing glitches out.
Yes, I have also witnessed that. You should also check the ship’s locker doors. 😀
But at least the bugs are known to the developers, which is something. The ship looks fantastic, hopefully they can work them out in the next patch!
I can’t seem to find Odachi, please help. I’ve found that every sector, particularly the north derection, has no ships as a result ((
If you’ve already unlocked it, consider sending a piloted ship to investigate that location alongside you; as you pass that location, the odachi is located far beneath you.
I’ve found it, thank you! An additional query: how are new ships built? Is it feasible?
Once you scan the leaks from each Timelines ship (or use the F, B, and H to loot Xenon wrecks), you can add blueprints to your own Empire and use your shipyards and wharves to build these ships.
I’ve been ‘Nuh-uh-ing’ the pirates who want to touch my cargo while I wait for the final two ships to arrive.
Since the player can purchase the Electromagnetic Gun Mk.1 from their equipment docks rather than from NPCs, you can place six of them on the XP Shuttle. This set is sure to please you.
It’s easy because Sapporo is rife with mines and laser towers. Scout using a fast S-class ship such as the Xp Shuttle, Yasur, or Geometric Owl; position a satellite dish close to Sapporo; and then move or teleport to a safe area. Conserve. Send a lone fast ship with marine, make a claim, return the S ship, wait for the claim, and then unload the towers. Crew transfer. When it’s safe, teleport there from a distance. Conserve. When you’re ready, drive to the safe area; it’s quick, so don’t worry about minefields; just drive.
I located the Sapporo by following this guide, but mine spawned above the hive with only one defense platform close by and no ravager in sight. Given that the ship is the goal, it’s not a huge loss that I lost an awful elite vanguard.
Fortunately, I was able to take it and flee without damaging the base. However, several Kha’ak fighters and corvettes were destroyed, but not to the point where it would make it impossible for them to defend themselves. I suppose it depends on where the Sapporo appear on every new save as to whether or not a destroyer is required to target the defense and ravager platforms.
In fact, I’ve spent the last hour or so trying to locate two ships on the Genesis start, and neither the Xenon B nor the Odachi are there. What do I not understand?
It appears to me that you have not yet finished the particular Timelines scenario for those ships. Once you have finished many of the scenarios in the Timelines DLC and have the DLC enabled, you can only access the ships listed here.
How can one alter Xenon H? The ship’s module blueprints are nowhere to be found. How and where can I locate them?
Although I have not personally attempted it, it seems that you must detonate additional Xenon H and cause them to release a particular inventory item. As soon as you do, the research ought to become accessible.
The other Xenon/Terraformer ships are in the same boat.
I would like to know the requirements for the mission in order to obtain the Experimental Shuttle. I’ve completed the quest that makes it possible to buy the Dart, even though I’m not really in the market for one right now. After that, I’ve heard, the search for the Xperimental Shuttle starts, but everything is very vague, and I haven’t heard anything more from them.
Possible plot spoilers ahead: The Xperimental quest and the Dart quest are unrelated. Finish the barter mission that Teladi, one of the Quettanauts, assigned to you. Following that, you ought to encounter a new mission instructing you to locate the “Grandmother” further into the Mitsuno’s Remembrance system. It’s possible for the new mission to enter your mission log without your knowledge—this has occasionally happened to me.
I apologize, but I’m not sure how to retrieve the shuttle. My conversation with “Grandmother” was really interesting as she revealed to me that the Xperimental Shuttle is located in the hangar, but it’s locked and cannot be claimed. Perhaps I should get her some Sohen tech? She mentioned that she wanted some, but there hasn’t been a quest for it. How and where did you discover it?
Eventually, the ‘Grandmother’ should get into the Xperimental shuttle and take off for Grand Exchange I’s south gate (or wherever your headquarters is right now). She will then set foot on it and make her way to Boso’s office.
To answer your question with a small amount of spoilery, the DLC adds a new faction, but it doesn’t add any new Open Universe starts. The two ships that are mentioned are added as rewards in the Open Universe.
The two ships can only be unlocked by completing the DLC story, according to the author. Does this imply that you can use them as “starting ships” for your timeline character’s potential entry into their open universe, or does it imply that they are unlocked as blueprints for any open universe save?
This isn’t a spoiler, as I haven’t even begun graph 3 and don’t know if the character simply ends or “escapes” to open at the conclusion.
I must also inquire about the H.: was there a claim point and I was simply blind, since I was unable to locate a capture/claim point and had to send a marine to do it for me? In connection with that, it only lacked a large turret, so bonus
The bridge is located at the back of the ship. The capture point is there.
Though it was quite strong during the mission, the X-Shuttle was weaker in the original game. Expect nostalgia instead of much from it.
The new budget game starts will include 6 HEPTs, while the existing game saves will have 4 Gamma HEPTs and 2 EMPCs.
The actual problem that urgently needs to be strengthened is the shielding.
