Boost chambers

[yorglaa]

Hi Guys,
just a question, I am wondering what I am supposed to do with those boost chambers located in the Coalition Cargo Terminal in Drake...
What are these and what to do with these ?

They are for Races. Flying through them will give you a massive speed increase which is helpful in the side quest racing.

Boost chambers also allow you to transport energy spheres long distances without them expiring.

ok, thanks !

i guess youre flying a slow Shipclass. My Striker has a good, long boost.

Hmm.... then i guess i have to finish another race first, so this Race gets unlocked^^ Probably know which one. Good to know.

I discovered this 2nd benefit recently hauling an energy sphere 9 or 10km in Drake on that one planet that has like 15 or 16 secret stashes.

There was a closer energy sphere generator close but I had not discovered it and thought that was what the boosts were for since I never race and have not raced even once, 60 hours into the game.

But yes, I generally fly gunships or, on rare occasions, bombers. I am saving up for a 2nd IV tier ship purchase here and will probably go with a much faster ship.

just bought a Bomber as my second Ship :D Will make a great Cargo-Ship with all that space and several defense layers.
Yeah... i understand what you mean. Sometimes iam simply blind XD On that map, i couldnt find the protectorsphere generator, i looked everywhere.
.... it was right next to the Cave where i needed several protectorspheres ... out in the open x.x Flew over that spot atleast 7 times and never saw it.....

Third Ship will probably be a small Ship. After that "Mission impossible" Feeling on the Waterplanet, i think i need one of the small ones. An Osprey IV Striker with long nose wasnt the best choice for that mission XD

Yeah, the Titan wings on the Bomber literally cannot fit into certain places. It's best to downgrade the wings for a Cyclops style just so you can do certain puzzles.

Just be careful with large ships into those chambers. First time it smashed my bomber wingtips against the walls and triggered the emergency shield :/

Pretty sure my Titan B2 is far to big to even enter those Boost Chambers XD

A Titan can use Boost Chamber, but entering it at an angle will kill you and everyone you love. So either have the Close Call perk, or eat an energy shield beforehand.

Hmm... say... what Race is supposed to happen in Coalition Cargo Terminal in Drake?
Just finished the Race in Draco I .... which was the last Race according to the Sidequest and there is no startpoint for a Race at the Cargo Terminal.
Future Race-Quests maybe?^^

The boosts are not just for races. They are also for timing puzzles. Coalition Cargo Terminal has a few of those spheres that time out which need to be carried across the map. It's difficult to do without a fast ship, and on the hardest difficulties requires use of the boost rings (or boost device on ship).

Just using, what Geekbyte, as part of the Devs, said about the Boosters.
I dont know much the time-difference is between the difficulties. On Normal with my standard Ship (Striker), i had a comfortable Rest-time for each sphere.
