Multi tool

[adampardo]

630+hours into the game I've never found a single S-class multi-tool.

They DO exist, are you looking in tier 3 systems?

[Guh~hey~hey~♫]

yeah.... they are a bit difficult to find on your own especially if you arent actively focusing on MT hunting or following specific coordinates from YT video or coordinate exchange forums.....
But it doesnt really matters really.... nowaday it's the SC slots layout and type that matters... sink the time you would spent searchin for an S-class into farming nanites to upgrade any other good one you might find (Atlantide, staff, senitnel).
Other than that, all 3 best types are freakin easy to get by.... atlantide rifles are at every alien monoliths in korvax systems (they cost nanites tho), sentinels are in dissonant encampements, staves come from autophage camps.....

This, right there is the correct answer.

I found a C class sentinel ship. Before scrapping i decided to see the SC layout. Upgraded with 75k/85k nanites: result = 4 square SC slots. The best layout possible: this ship's base rating is lower (on every score) than another exotic i have, but with the sc layout you can imagine the damage numbers.

Find a good MT. Upgrade with nanites to see the SC slots - bad? reload save. A great alternative is to find A-class tools with a decent layout and upgrade it. Nanites are the easiest thing to find in game.

There is that, you CAN upgrade a lesser MT to S class with a finances, no worries!

Not to rub it in, but on my current play though, the very first terminal I checked had a S class multi tool. All 4 super charge spots are also pretty close together. Haven't seen an S class since.

Zigamus is talking about the systems' Economy ratings that you can see in the Galaxy Map if you have the Economy Scanner installed in your craft...

All systems have an economic level one star, two star, and three star. You can find this on the system information. There will also be a flavor text like "booming". The higher the economy level the the higher the chances of S class ships and tools.

S-class spawn rate in 3 star economy system is still abyssmally low. (2%).. so dont get your hopes too high about it.
For this outlaw systems have the highest spawn chances with 5%, which is stil very low.

I did find a royal S rank one - and a rather pretty one on top of that. But then the game decided to somehow switch all my tools to A.

I have been looking for a specific chassis to build a ship. Not rare, but just haven't come across it yet. Sometimes the law of chance work against you. A long time ago in a middle school math class, I was chosen to demonstrate the laws of chance. I flipped the coin for 24 of 25 times being heads. The chances of that must be astronomical!

OT but yeah... the probability of that is 1 in 1342177 according to the OMNI Calculator's Coin Flip Probability calculator... https://www.omnicalculator.com/statistics/coin-flip-probability

With a trade-off. Maybe enlighten the player of the the behavioral and technical differences of seeking an S class anything in an Outlaw system. I get that this thought may not cross a file editor's mind as nothing matters at that point ... but a new/vanilla player may like to know what that trade-off is. I assume you know the differences besides probability.

@OP ... I am not sure I even believe you.

I had saves like that. I've had them where every time I see one it seems to be and S and a S alien at that.

The RNG Gods are a nasty lot in this game. At least now you can always have a S class ship you like without working at it at all.

I've had that as well. I've had on the started world. I ran over the hill to scan an animal and there was a crashed ship. And it was a S class. "Really?" Was all I could say. I don't even have my started ship repaired and I had an S class ship. It was a cool looking Fighter as well.
