Getting to the secret sector

[Raving Rabbid Soldier]

I need to get there for rock achievement. What color is it on the map, is there a trick getting there, and what should I expect there? Is that where the crystal ship is?

You are much more likely to get the other achievements. You need to find a secret being, he will tell you where to find it. You also need to have him to find it. Be on the lookout for a peculiar item.

That ship is secret, how do you know about it?

I tried to get this achievement for almost a week but the amount of RNG needed is insane. I ended doing the other two yesterday, they are WAY easier.

Get the other two achievements for the rock ship, complete the game with B Layout unlocking the C layout. This layout has a component which skips an awful lot of the secret quest.

Once you unlock the layout take care of your crew, locate a rock homeworld and jump around empty beacons (Long range scanners help). The hard part then is getting to a rock homeowrld in the first place as you don't know the names of the sectors ahead, though you can try to make a path going through as many red sectors as possible.

Just rename your Crystal to Ruwen before entering Rock Homeworlds, and it will show quest beacon, if you have more it is from other quests, one takes you to Crystal homeworlds.

Sorry for opening this discussion but i feel extremly lucky, and want to share this. First i have to mention that I have just 4 hours in the game.

When playing as The Kestrel (or The Torus. I dont remember) i unlocked the Rock Crusier (Bulwark). So i played it, literally first game i found the secret sector. Can i speak in this situation of extreme luck???

I did this recently, but the game didn't show the quest beacon. I just had to try all the jump points possible, tripped on it, then my (ahem) "Ruwen" opened the gateway. Not sure if it maters, but I named him in the hangar.

Creepy Ninja, you are more than extremely lucky. I think I played in the 500+ games before I managed to complete that quest.

Renaming a crystal being to Ruwen doesn't make the portal beacon be marked by a quest marker anymore. That has been patched.
