I'm really wondering if the op of this thread was very lucky or not but i never got any artifacts (gun or anything) from the Star Hammer memorial or from the Artifact contener close to it.

Any confirmation of drop? i reloaded over 50 times an old save there to check for that precursor gun but no luck at all (i guess there are more guns later in the game from precursor since Joseph has the skill for them)

I got the gun my first try but have never gotten the "ship" and as far as I know that is the only way to get a precursor gun (ternie can use it with her skill)

EDIT: nevermind you can get precursor guns by killing the ships Ternie summons after you rescue her.

Well i dunno if it is related or not to myself destructing some of the Memorial structures to get in there, but i reloaded an old save before entering system as suggested, tried a few times to get to the memorial by shooting stuctures nothing droped, tried to get in (from the bottom, after multiple new saves made when in system) without shooting at structure and now each time i'm getting 2 precursors guns + 1 precursor fighter + 1 precursor skull and some alien gun + missile. Damn precursor spirits

and the ship is not usable, it is a "cargo" item, like the skull btw.

Blowing wrecks outside the rings is pointless but inside there are two big (flat type) transport hulls that drops nice stuff. 1st gave me: Emerald, Armageddon, Sigil, Avenger, and Trident fighter. 2nd: Shining, Lycathrope, Mortar, Overbank, Berserk Laser and Hrimithurs (sth like that) fighter. After several tries I realized that types of armament are fixed and only quantity of items changes (I can get up to 8 items from one wreck) so you can get 600-1000K worth stuff depending of your luck (fighter are always one, others may be multiple). To get inside you have to flight down and go under the turrets. You can start from the top too but wrecks are at the bottom so going down is faster. Beware the turrets. Mastiff goes down in 3-4 shots from a single turret. The system is totally peaceful (maybe except gates area) so that's easy money .

Hi everybody!
That's my first post, but I'm playing Starwolves since lot of years with Nbr 1...

I'm actually trying to discover the two big (flat type) transport hulls that drops stuff but I don't find...
I destroy all wreckages I can find but nothing drop
Can You be more precise please (with a screenshot may be?)

Thanks a lot

The Hephestus one spawns after a certain quest, if you dont find it before, than you did not get that quest.

I blew up some hulls inside the ring and found nothing at first while on my way to Elio. I decided to come back after Dyonisos (MSF path) and found 1 stash only, in a red beacon asteroid: 2 Asmodeus, 1 Trident, rest is junk (berserker laser MK II, Gremlin and 2 more drops)

Ok, thanks!

I tought that I can found some stuff right after I got Mastiff...

Some info on Pegasus stash...
There most definitely is at least one stash roid with various goodies (3,4 and 4th gen ships, guns, missiles and other) in the same cloud as stash nav point. Just go up and ascend a bit. It is one of the topmost roids (with the red light).
As most stashes it's load is decided on sector entry, but you can bee-line straight to it before going to Paymaster so you can get the stuff you want without wasting "too" much of your time.

On to the other stash...
The quest stash from the transports is NOT decided on sector entry, but on spawn. Just save before going back to Paymaster's station. There are of course two fights standing between you and the transports, but easy enough to to go through them couple of times.

There may be more roid stashes (the script file suggests so), but I cant find them, just lot of fakes.

And on the matter of Hep system stash...
While going through the scripts I found that the condition making the stash appears is achieved after returning to Placid something Station after Elio. An indication of the condition being true is the change in your mail (the one from Ternie starting with "Great Partner!" or something like that is deleted)

Lastly...
WTF is this?
