Very rare or ultra rare alien containers.

Quantum Star trader on trade station in orbit of starter planets.

Bertrams and Servant Corp traders found in various trade stations.

Note: you must have started a new game after the trading changes to see the new traders.

The trading stations have the large ones.

[Ɽevenant]

There are two traders one has the large ones and the other has the small ones.

In red and purple containers, you have .000001 chance of getting one every third month of the year.

Was going to post about this myself but no need now that I know were to look

I should point out that they are stupid expensive, in the 100k range. On the plus side now you have a use for any gold you never bothered to mine before.

You will need it, since finding the parts in loot is not an option, despite what the fanboys tell you.

Yeah spamming traders to sell off the loot from an entire planet just to afford enough parts for a single smallish sv is awesome game play

Of course i didn't find a single optronics part in all those bases i took out

You looted a sucky planet. I was able to afford all that I needed for my SV selling off half the loot from one poi. Looted 2 large bridges for the CV i will build shortly too.

I find around half the items I need for my T3 builds in boxes and the others I buy. The problem is finding enough traders to sell to, they need to up the number of things a trader will buy if this is how they are going to go about it.

Orbital traders have large components. Surface traders have small components. Prices vary with each trader. I have a various of about 25000 on the large components so far. 187000 at one trader, 163000 at another. But is really annoying to have to run around the universe selling pentaxid off the earn $$$. Return of the grind.

That said it does force you to travel and in doing so you end up discovering all sorts of stuff to gather and explore. So while it is kind of 'grindy' it kind of isn't either. The whole process, ft you take your time and stuff your ship with everything you come across can take the entire game session but you will fine that it is worth it in the end.

The prices kind of pissed me off at the beginning but once you can figure out what your traders are looking to buy you realize you have 500000 worth of junk just sitting in your cargo containers waiting to be sold. After the first time it seems easier too.

Jo, Big dady Fanboy here, So far in my recent run for A11 I only found two large OB´s (after emtying 4 POI´s completly) but got all the 4 small ones for my shilded SV from traders.
I sold everything but of the epic weapons (wich mostly dont sell anyway) and a medium armor.

I think it would be great to be able to craft all the special stuff (like miner cores, optronics, medium and heavy armor as well as make epic weapons) with some rare ingredient though.
Like say, a destilate, the blue shining Empyriol (made out of hate smurfs=) or found in loot.

It could be put in as an event like a comet entering the playfield (no idear if that is posible) on wich one could find it too or simply as a rare asteroid or deposite.

I realy think that this is just what rare loot does, and what goal is there in this game then exploration. It´s not like we can found our own imperium (if you´re SP). So not getting what we need if not going out and looking for it (wile stumbling across unexpected stuff) sounds about right to me.

I am a fanboy, but I agree it is meaningless to aim at looting your way to the item. Best is to simply buy it after you accumulated enough credits. Because overall the game is too easy, obtaining hundreds of thousands of credits is an easy thing to do.

It's nice that credits have a use. It's good that they work in some ways to make it useful to use the traders and for the ingame currency.
