50 Francium?

[Nanako]

Star Control asked me to bring them either a hyperdrive to reverse engineer, or 50 francium to build their own.
finding 50 francium has taken a long time, but i've finally got it. I took it to star control and there's no options to hand it over?? What am i supposed to do with this stuff?

[Frozendown]

Did you sell your spare hyperdrive?

[SunsetAmethyst]

They need a hyperdrive and francium.

[Pheace]

What? I could've sworn they wanted 100 from me :/

They also don't accept the Tywom Cuddle Drive.

When you have a hyperdrive *and* the Francium for them you will get an option to hand it over and it'll take both. I agree initially I thought it was either or as well but they're actually talking about some *other* part required to make it work

oh welp

i dont have a spare one yet, im not giving up the enforcer drive i found, not until i get a better one

The enforcer drive is not the type of drive they want.

Are you sure? Off memory I thought I used that one, since I already had a better one when I got it

Some locations for Francium are listed in my guide in the "Spoiler talk" section

I thought it was 100 francium? (Unless that changed) it should be in your captain's log though.

Its 100 per hyperdrive.

Is there a limit to how many they need?

Yep, the dialogue for that could have been much better designed.

In my case it was the Drenkapon drive you get from convincing them not to attack races not possessing three ears which was used for the Terran shipbuilding quest, and 100 Francium.

How long do you need to wait for them to be able to churn out those crappy Earthling ships, or start colonizing?

[GlassDeviant]

Dunno, it was ages* ago and I still haven't see any effect.

* last night.

Not sure on Colony time (tunred in two drives and only 1 colony so far) but earth cruisers were available straight away after 1st drive. Not bad, I like at least one of these and a Lexite Interceptor in the fleet.

The humans colonized two systems after I gave them two drives. It was quite a while after each drive was sold before the colonization happened. It just pops up like a random event when it happens.
