Class S hunting? Try this 3 second wave refresh!

[Gunther Ultrabolt Novacrunch]

I can't possibly be the first to figure this out but in all my googling its never been suggested.

One of the current way to go about producing an S class of your desired ship (as far as I can tell) is to make a restore point and restore the game after every first wave.

I just put down a portal on the roof of the Trade hub, and after every first wave I portal to the same portal i'm at, it refreshes all ships and is almost instant.

20-25 seconds for me to reload first wave via restore point.
under 3 seconds to reload via portaling to current location.

I know it exists, I'm just not obsessive enough to be bothered :).

I just concentrate on making units to 200M or so, then dink around and buy what falls into my lap.

And thinking about it, at least on normal mode, base computer, portal, biofuel reactor. There's no need for panels/batteries because biofuel reactors last a decent amount of time now and you'll be tearing it all down once you've caught the prize.

So then the titel of this thread "Class S hunting?" prolly doesn't apply to you.

All my ships are S class and despite having two bases right next to trade hubs in the right systems, none have come from any of those setups and are simply discoveries I come across exploring.

This tip is not for you then.

Glad you figured it out.

I figured you missed something in my explanation cause its a huge time saver.

For me its 3-4 seconds to refresh wave with the portal, 20-25 seconds to reload game with a restore point.

Its a no brainer if you are hunting for a specific ship.

I'm still trying to get S-Class Freighters to spawn; every freighter that spawns into a system I'm in is a C-Class and a "Stubby" quite frustrating.

The chance of a freighter being S-Class follows the same rules as ships (actually, it uses the same game variable). So if you aren't sticking to Outlaw and High Wealth systems, you have very, very low odds of seeing an S-Class freighter.

The chance in medium wealth is only 1%, in Low Wealth it is 0%.

the problem is not how fast the reload takes, the problem is how many reloads we need till we see our fav ship in s class, i cancel after 7 hours of reloading and get my fav in a class and i upgrate it.

That doesn't make any sense.

The whole point of re-loading a restore point is to "shuffle the deck" and send a new wave in as soon as possible. The alternative is to let them land. Let them sit, wait for them to take off, then wait for the next wave.

By reloading a restore point you don't have to wait for the next wave. You force it to come sooner. The more waves that come the better chances of finding what you want.

Using a portal is even quicker than hitting escape, going to options, and clicking on "load restore point", You simply portal to the port you are at, the game doesn't have to reload the environment it just resets the ships. Try it.
