Star Traders: Frontiers

Faction Specific Ship Components
So I'm on a Javat world with 9 Starport. I have +34 rep with them and 2 military ranks.

I noticed that in the ship upgrade screen I can purchase a "Javat Mechi-Reaper" which is a large component, mining equipment that adds up to +20 to resource finds. I assume that's unique to Javat. Curious if anyone else has found any other faction specific components.

Yep, that is Javat specific. It's badly expressed in the UI and the filters right now, so hopefully soon that will be clearer.

Here are some other Faction-specific components:

Resource Processor
Javat Mechi-Reaper
Hyperion Exo-Suits
Mesa Radiate-Seal
Depth Scanner Omega
Depth Scanner Omega-X
Orbital Fuel Scoop 3
Orbital Fuel Scoop 4
Multi-Signal Array
Boarding Assault System 4
ECCM Screen Matrix 4
Targeting Matrix 4
Defense Pattern Matrix 4
Interlocking Sensor Matrix 4

I had heard these existed, but never saw one. There is a page on the wiki, which contains information on all the components. It is listed there; but for the stats in the table, everything is zero. So I cannot tell how it differs from a regular exploration rover. Good find!

Let's request the devs to give more detail on these components. The table is so large, it is hard to spot any by name.

EDIT pfff ninja.

Suggestion that Faction specific components, ships, etc be part of the Faction pages on the wiki

Sounds great, we'll keep working to improve the game and the wiki exports.

Of course that giant table isn't really great. It needs to be split up by type etc. We'll get there. Thanks for playing!

The split up ones exist too, but AFAIK they are not automatically generated and therefore are out of date.

Any chance you could tell us which come from which factions, so we won't have to do a galaxy-wide tour to find a particular module?

I think the most important thing is to improve the filters in the starport screen so that no one has to do a galaxy wide tour looking for anything. It's very high on the priority list atm.

To clarify, I didn't mean add a list in-game, but rather tell us in the thread for anyone else that's curious about where to find them. Unless it's buried too deep in lines of code to convinently find.

Will work on updating the wiki export.
