OK, I was somewhat aware that in Mizar, the rare rocket BP only drops from a DS rocketeer, right?? It seems I was notified today, after ranting about dropping no less than 10 rare aim computers in a freakin' row from normal rocketeers, that the Gemini Giga Rocket is also dropping from the DS rocketeers, as well as the Gemini Fusion Shield from DS marauders, since I have dropped about 8 GGB and 3 Gemini Repair Droids from normal marauders and not gotten the shield. I am trying to get a feel for the layout of the rares in these higher systems, like general rules of thumb.
From what I can tell, normal rocketeers in Gemini will ONLY drop the GGB and Gemini Aim Computer? Normal marauders will ONLY drop Gemini Repair Droid and GGB? Thus all the "better" techs like shields, materializers, rockets, protector, stun charge, ONLY drop from DS mantis? Does this hold true for the higher systems as well? Do the rocketeers in Sol drop the rockets or only from DS? I have heard ppl say they got them from R54 rocketeers at top left of Moon, from R52 turrets lower and middle left of Moon, R57 rocketeers at top right of Moon. I am trying to find some kind of consistent rules here for where these rares are dropped from. Does it change from system to system? I know that in Antares, the Aim Computer is ONLY found on Terasa while the Rockets are ONLY found on Lustra. The rare ships of each system are only found on the higher planet in that system, with the exception of Gemini, since all three planets are highest in certain areas. For example, Anin-X Tank only on Vega 4, Anin-X Shock only on Lustra, GC-X Fusion Engineer is found on Prosperous and Technatoria only???, MST-X Fusion Storm only on Molikar, STAM-X Shadow Sniper on Moon only?? It would seem that SS is being quite consistent in their inconsistency, changing everything around with each new system. Any tips or advice for getting the Gemini, Mizar, and Sol rares would be appreciated as I think there are many ppl like me that have trouble figuring out where everything is hidden. Especially since most mantis are dropping 3 different rares now, I just thought I was having very bad luck in getting 10 rare Aim Computers in a row from many different levels of rocketeers on different planets and not seeing the rockets even once. I will say though I did drop a rare from a DS rocketeer earlier today, and guess what? YEP, a freakin' Aim Computer!!!!!
