Build With Titanium?

[Sciopero]

Has anyone found how to build with titanium using the 2.0 beta build?

after you mine some titanium you will get msg in your mailbox with a item to teach you titanium blocks

I recently got in and am attempting that as well.

According to the game you can clear out a pirate sector and get knowledge of it as a loot drop or you can get it from shipyards at mostly titanium region.

Without titanium I certainly won't be taking on pirates (insane difficulty) so I've been trying to get it a shipyard, but I haven't seen it so far. I've gone in pretty deep into titanium area I feel. Worried my weak ship will attract persecutors if I push much further.

for other materials you will need to buy the plans to build with them or loot it from their respective factions or pirates the material, the titanium plans are given to you in a message when you first mine titanium

Which difficulty was that on and was it the mail entitled "Titanium!"?

On insane difficulty all that mining titanium got me was the encyclopedia entry for it and that "Titanium!" mail that informed me about being able to get the knowledge from pirates or shipyards. No item included in my message.

I'm in the same boat as you BOYCOTT. Thanks for the info, I'll head closer tot he centre and take a look around.

Finally found it!

I had to go way deeper into the titanium area than I expected, but I finally found a shipyard that has it. It literally is an additional menu option called "Building Knowledge" that sell the "Building Knowledge - Titanium" item for 250,000 credits.

Honestly, this is too much. Grinding in a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ iron ship to get 250k. ♥♥♥♥ that. I really don't like this new system. It sounds too annoying. Too much of an unnecessary time sink.

Thankfully we can just set the game mode to "Classic" and ignore this new progression system. It needs a LOT of work, cause it doesn't feel like a natural progression and instead a useless timesink.

Thank you for saying that. Good to know you can keep playing with classic progression.

Between this ridiculous feature, the cost of captains, the way they made mining missions instead of just ordering your fleet with a loop, and requiring system slots to add +12 fighters each time you want to increase them I am having a hard time seeing what is actually good about this???

The grind is hell for Iron Ships from what I've experienced so far. Really disliking the progression atm. It feels like they nerfed something incredibly important but I don't know what. I've found only one titanium asteroid and activated the chip in my player inventory, and now it looks like all the asteroids are nothing but iron. Been stuck in the starting area for 50 minutes and can't jump due to power shortages. Anyone else experiencing this trouble?

help i deleted the message before completing it, how do i get it back???

Wasn't around back then, but clearly titanium is easier to get today. i mined titianium and got a mail, took the item, used it and it unlocked tier building level 2.

just yesterday i got ambushed while looking up mass signatures on the map, my ship was fully upgraded to titanium at the time and on normal difficulty and i got hit on by two separate pirate fleets, they did manage to eat into half my ships health before i destroyed them in my one ship, i even took down a pirate king in a ship 3-4 the size of my with stronger materials as well, a lot of loot dropped from that ship.

I just started the process of upgrading beyond titanium, at least as much as i can and increasing the strength and mass of the ship so it can withstand what the more inner sectors can offer. Finding the upgrade to tier 3 was tricky despite the options available. i chose to buy it from a shipyard at 750k credits instead. In a way i can understand how those users 3 years ago had so much trouble.
