Those are for the Stashes from what ive read, I want to know why when I destroy those turrets in the cloud they dont drop anything.

Bump for usefulness.



Donziboy2: Because it's not the turrets that are a stash in Hephaestus (which is what I assume you're talking about?) (though the Y-shaped ones can drop a Shining turret), it's... whatever, inside the ring of them.

i found this strange looking sphere in Pegasus. its in the SW corner of the map.
i cant destroy it and i cant pick it up. 6 squares from the bottom, 5 from the left. anyone have any idea what it is?

The sphere has a bunch of fancy graphical effects around it, right? Thats a wormhole if I am not mistaken... However they are unusable until you reach a certain point in the campaign (and some campaigns you never get access at all)

You are wrong, in all campaigns you can get accest to this portal - automaticaly or due certain mission or decision during mission.

Pretty sure I never got access to those portals in the MSF Campaign.

Have you checked mail from Aylon that you got from thim after the final battle with pirates? ;)

Good money, hard to get.
 

In the Fronn system, if your ship can sustain great damage, you can make between 4-6 mil, and that's just from destroying the first 16 cargo container things attached to the station. I got atleast 40 2-3 gen fighters, and a bunch of weps/missiles/systems of different gens.

Do we have to acquire info about the locations of the hidden caches first to make them appear in the game or we can freely explore and find the caches at any time of the game and without any knowledge of its location first?http://www.changshengniaos.info/jh2.jpg

ID fixing
 

There are stations in Elio, Elinor and Dalled(at the moment i know about these 3 only) in which u can get your ID fixed. Of course for money, last time it cost me 100000 credits just to get mercenaries off my head. See which one is nearest and head for it(and hope u arrive safe there).;)

Hmm, I tried the game again after a long time, but I can not get any loot from those turrets in Hephaistos. Is this difficulty related? Or am I just unlucky?

No turrets
 

I destroyed all turrets and never dropped a single shining...

It may be difficulty related after all. Just started a new game on normal and ended with 27 Shining turrets.

Confirming that going back to Aurora (alex) is necessary first before going to Heph for the caches.

It's not really a cache location but in the Pegasus System you can hunt down pirate freighters that come through the gate. They are escorted so don't try this too early. The interesting thing is that these freighters drop pirate ships from Gen 1 to 4. And they have this awesome blood red pirate colour.

fix
 

This was removed in last patch. No more drops from turrets in Herma.
