Analysis visor upgrades

[jcfuller]

As I posted in another thread I am testing different starting methods / directions in anticipation for NEXT.
One item I wanted to try was using the Analysis visor with upgrades to accumulate units instead of grinding Emeril or farming. Problem is I can find no upgrades on any of the systems within reach of a starter ship. I tried 22 already with no luck. I am wondering if there is some trigger that lets them be available so they don't show in early game play?? or is this as bad as grinding emeril :)

You should visit your friendly spacestation trader, he might have something you are looking for...

[Finite Monkeys]

IIRC Vy'keen traders have the multi-tool technologies.

[jcfuller]

Duh people...
Maybe I did not explain fully.
I am aware of nanites for blueprints at stations and as I said have visited 22 different Vy'keem systems with no visor upgrades on their list.

[Finite Monkeys]

Aha, got it now :)

Could be your reputation with the Vy'keen is too low. Try doing some VK missions to raise it.

I've done what you are doing already... I found that just exploring and not focusing on a sigle path worked best for me. I found that getting a base started, getting the main story line going so that you get the warp, laser upgrade and gauntlets is a key catalyst for amping up the early game.

I think that those particular visor upgrades come from some other race - Gek?

[tkwoods]

All upgrades to the multtool come from VyKeen...

[Tom]

@tkwoods, except for those, as I recall.

[Wylie28]

I think they come from missions. Thst is how i get all mine

I got the analysis visor upgrades from Korvax stations after looking for them for days on Vy'Keen ones.
I think the scanner and analyzer with upgrades should actually be Exosuit upgrades instead of Multi-tool. Maybe add another 12 tech slots to suit for this....

[jcfuller]

Aha the Korvax.
I should have known. They have the ship scanner blueprints for economy and conflict too

[Katmoi]

Yes :)

Understandable since the VyKeen ate more combat oriented and the scan is science related.

I think Gek has the scanner blueprints for economy and conflict, thats where I got mine.

After a bit of reflection I don't think this would be a very good starting direction?
Seems like a lot of grinding just in a different way.
Anybody have a list the reputation and nanites needed for the 6 upgrades?
