equipment vendor, turret vendor, still obscenely rare 1 year later

[BOYCOTT]

so.... the only place i can ever count on there being a turret or equipment vendor, is the very first sector you start in, i am 100% not joking when i say i wasted 2-3 hours AT LEAST exploring trying to find a vendor of one of these two types who had current material stuff for sale and not crappy nooby junk.

so yeah, three issues that were breaking the game nearly a year, maybe even more ago, the developer has done nothing to address any of them, that is so sad.

Well, mobile equipment and turret merchants was somewhat common last i played. Also, the closer you get to the core barrier (and inside it as well), the more turret factories (which also sell turrets) show up.

On the way there, you blow up pirates/aliens for turrets and chips, or scavenge them from salvaging or npc battles. I'm not sure what the issue is?

[BOYCOTT]

mobile ones don't count because you have to be lucky enough to stick around long enough for them to show up and then also be lucky enough to buy before they leave.

and no, no i do not, i don't fight at all in this game, i jumped or gated, checked for a vendor (so that i can begin having to brute force quit and resume game so it has anything worth buying) and flew over if there was one, if not nothing to see or do in this sector.

i have no interest in fighting in this game early on, i got to xaonite with full indy builds for two of my three ship fleet with ease, i did eventually equip one of the others with a missile turret which was useful for extra income, but no i don't play as a fighter early on, i play purely industrial/miner, if i get the attention of an alien ship i start flying around near NPC ships in the area so that they'll fight it for me, or vice versa.

i even made somewhat of an effort to build my own turrets out of pure desperation alone, but being realistic, i can't be bothered, not until i'm flying a ship made of avorion only (excluding inertial dampeners, my ships tend to be gi-♥♥♥♥♥♥♥-mungous and refuse to use gates on their own anyway) anyway.

Probably if you go to center of galaxy.

You will find better ones.

Avorion material turret are a myth. Never seen one.

meh, i was trying to find naonite level turrets actually, i didn't intend to but i actually skipped over an entire tier of ore because of how stupidly rare these vendors are, i had to go THAT ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ far out of my way.


let me reiterate, i spent (LITERALLY) AT LEAST two or three hours, SOLELY moving from one place to another and only stopping long enough to check if the right vendor was there, i didn't trade, i didn't fight, i didn't do a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing else, that was pure movement being counted in that amount of time.

i mean, that's totally not broken at all that by the time i found a correct vendor i just gave up on an entire tier of ore because.... well... ♥♥♥♥ that, now i have xaonite all of a sudden.

Use wormhole, naonite hyber space system or better.

Just be patient.

I got my trinitium turret in my faction allies.

i did use wormholes, like 2 or 3 at least, i almost always jump through them at least once to see where i wind up, can't be bothered to check which ore i actually skipped but it was the one right before xaonite or whatever the yellow one is called.

Yellow ore are xaonite. Darker one are organite.

Xaonite better than trinitium.

yeah, i know that, the one before that, i skipped that one because i had to move so far to find a turret/equipment vendor that wasn't in the first sector.

i actually planned to build a version of my ships out of every material and then move onto the next after that, not skip over an entire tier for no reason.

You are so full of crap. I have 2 saves games and there are plenty of equipment stations in both. Traveling merchants are not rare either. Plus, you can just build your own!

Unfortunately building you own turret factory are expensive.

1. you're far luckier than i am in that case, this exact same issue was extremely present the last time i gave this game a chance as well, there was actually two equipment vendors that i found, neither of which ever offered anything better than trinium which was long since useless to me by that point.
there were one or two extremely low level and useless ones, technically yes that's true, but it doesn't solve the problem.
2. failure to read detected, try again.

additionally mobile vendors can't be brute forced to get something that's actually worth buying as far as i know, so they're useless to me anyway.

Apparently you arent aware that in order to find high grade equipment (stations) and minerals, you have to move toward the center of the galaxy.

you must not be very intelligent if you think i missed something that obvious, i've known that since the first time i played this game.

Maybe you should start acting like you know something then, instead of feigning ignorance. Unless of course... its not an act.
