The All-New Hitchhiker’s Guide to Pirate Galaxy

[V1-Hyper]

The Antares Industries Uber ships (Parsecs) are classified as Vega ships if i am correct not Sol ship even thought they can't go in any other CQs but Sol. To some ppl this will over come ur mind and well being

I put the 'AnIn- Über ships' (R50 Ships) within the Sol Conquest column, being the correct way of listing when one uses CQ rules as criteria.
One could surely have arranged ships differently (as I used to do on the old Hitchhiker's Guide, namely by rank). But I figured grouping them by Ship Class and CQ Rules will give me the most compact yet very natural listing.
Whether the R50 ships still classify as Vega ships I'm not sure anymore... and it's kinda non-intuitive for readers (especially newcomers), if not deceptive

V1-Hyper, check the repair droid list please,
R7&8 sentinels drop the standard on axiom
R9&10 sentinels drop the enhanced on lyris
R11 sentinel drop the power on aurora
R13 sentinels drop the enhanced power on aurora
and menders do not drop them anymore.

Thanks for the hint. I corrected the Enhanced Power RD.

By the way, I could swear I recently found the Power RD from Sentinels on Lyris too, not only Aurora, or didn't I?

Can anyone confirm the Sub-Standard RD still drops from a Mender on Kalabesh when you do the story missions? Coz there seem no Menders on Kalabesh outside the story...

Thanks
V1

Dear all,

maybe you noticed it, too. A few low profile Vega BPs seem to be missing since the make-over of the Vega system. I'm not sure whether these are bugs or not. Any help or info on them is much appreciated!
BPs I cannot locate anymore are:

Sub-Standard Afterburner (used to be Kalabesh Scouts)
Standard Rocket
Standard Ion Shield
Standard Taunt

Thx, V1

It took me a while to get used to the new-look site but I'm comfortable with it now, and it is an improvement. The loading time is a bit high but it was the same with the previous version, and there's rucks of information at your fingertips so no surprise if it takes a few seconds to come up.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to Pirate Galaxy is the first and best place to look for game information, and it's now even better. Great work V1-Hyper.

Thanks very much for the feedback, Serig

Kalabesh scouts drop the Sub-Standard, but only in mission.
Standard Rocket, i think some eliminators on lyris, but i can be wrong.
Standard Ion Shield is in a story mission.
Standard Taunt, is sentinels on lyris I think.

But i think lyris could use some better stuff, instead of only eliminators, marauders and sentinels.

 

[V1-Hyper]

I recently did the new Lyris white missions and there was no Rocket or Taunt to be found on Lyris anywhere. I also checked all units outside a mission but still found no Taunt and no Rocket..

I make a note on the Shield though. Thx

Usualy u'll need a bit of patience but they do drop lol

There is no mission for the blueprints:

Standard Stun Charge
Standard Protector
Standard Taunt
Standard Rockets

But try to kill some eliminators or sentinels that are not located to have another blueprint, like the color prints or missions.

Rocketeer Escort uses a shield

Standard Ion Blaster doesn't drop anymore

Twin, Enh. Twin and Storm doesn't drop by sentinels, but only by the eliminator on lyris and the avengers on aurora.

Thunder, Tempest, Blaze and Inferno do also drop by sentinels and avengers, (but i am not sure of avengers).

Rares of Vega:
Blaster drops by avengers on aurora, i think not on other planets.
Collector drops by harvs on aurora, i think not on other planets.
Repair Droid drops by sentinels on aurora, i think not on other planets.
Afterburner drops by interceptors on aurora, i think not on other planets.
Rockets drops by Rocket Turrets on aurora, i think not on other planets.
Aim PC drops by marauder commanders on aurora, i think not on other planets.

Perforator:
The names of antares are:
Standard
Enhanced
Power
Super

Imperials use Green-Red Prupolsion,

The Mantis harvester of sol can better be classified under the Imperials i think.

Of course, The Hitchhiker's Guide has ever only been a one-man efford, whereas many ppl may contribute to the Wiki. And yet, a fair share of the Wiki data has been sorced from the Hitchhiker and it's always been my pleasure to share

Looking fwd to future Mantis encounters :mrorange:
A toast to Splitscreen, who are the ultimate knowledge keepers of the PG Universe :mrorange:

(imagine we had the formulas to calc ship armor, weapons power, warscore etc!)

thought i might mention http://thedestiny.archiv47.de/database/calc/index.php

also, i can't view the site in Internet Explorer since it makes my computer crash, or at least, make it lag. Since it doesn't work with Firefox, any idea about Google Chrome, Opera, or Safari?

I remember this site. Principally great idea. A shame it's always been so badly bugged it renders this service unusable. Looks like no-one is maintaining it.

If you run a Windows machine and IE makes ur PC crash you have a serious software problem. I'm afraid I can't give you any advice other than the most extreme (re-install Windows)
Afaik, Chrome and Safari have same problems as Firefox

 

[V1-Hyper]

Thanks for all the corrections, pbhuh!

There is no mission for the blueprints:

Standard Stun Charge
Standard Protector
Standard Taunt
Standard Rockets

Indeed, those 4 BPs are currently nowhere to be found. Atm, I'm clueless, maybe a bug?

But try to kill some eliminators or sentinels that are not located to have another blueprint, like the color prints or missions.

I have doubts about that. Since the Vega make-over it seems any Mantis that drops a certain BP at one specific respawn site (e.g. a color pattern) will always drop this particular BP and no second other BP. Instead, the same Mantis, same rank but at another respawn site will drop another BP.
That means, If you check each respawn site and find the first BP, it seems you can be sure you have not missed a BP. That's how searched all Lyris for Std Taunt and Std Rocket and found none.

Added.

Standard Ion Blaster doesn't drop anymore

I opened a new acc to replay Vega to see what's provided at the beginning of the game and what's not.
The hangar provides you with Sub-Standard and Standard Blasters & Sub-Standard and Standard Collectors, i.e. those 4 don't drop.

Twin, Enh. Twin and Storm doesn't drop by sentinels, but only by the eliminator on lyris and the avengers on aurora.

Corrected.

Thunder, Tempest, Blaze and Inferno do also drop by sentinels and avengers, (but i am not sure of avengers).

That's right, in addition to Frenzoids and Barabrians, now the Sentinels also drop Blasters in Antares (but no Avengers). I added Sentinels.

Rares of Vega:
Blaster drops by avengers on aurora, i think not on other planets.
Collector drops by harvs on aurora, i think not on other planets.
Repair Droid drops by sentinels on aurora, i think not on other planets.
Afterburner drops by interceptors on aurora, i think not on other planets.
Rockets drops by Rocket Turrets on aurora, i think not on other planets.
Aim PC drops by marauder commanders on aurora, i think not on other planets.

That's intriguing, but a single player can hardly exclude any other possilbe rare drops because they are so... rare. Rare drops are ususally collected by reports of dozens of players over a long time. But I agree that the Vega rares may have been affected by the Vega make-over, too. I make a note of your findings.

Perforator:
The names of antares are:
Standard
Enhanced
Power
Super

Corrected. I mistakenly copy/pasted the Stun Charge item names

Imperials use Green-Red Prupolsion,

Added.

The Mantis harvester of sol can better be classified under the Imperials i think.

I fully agree. In fact, I have classified it as Imperials. Have a closer look

Added the new character.

Well, some mantis are only found on aurora, and they have changed the rares, if you use what i said you will find it faster then when you kill in other ways.

And the Parsecs are Draconis Ships on the PTR, here is a pic of Draconis on Stargate:

"Blueprint" is spelled with a lowercase "P".

 

[V1-Hyper]

"Blueprint" is spelled with a lowercase "P".

Principally right(ish), strictly speaking it'd have to be fully lowercase (English: blueprint), unless it was at the beginning of a sentence.

However, I chose my way of spelling for a good reason; that is, for its association with the acronym BP specific to this game, and no ordinary/established abbreviation of 'blueprint', anyway.
Thus, one ends up with BluePrint rather than Blueprint, or indeed, blueprint.. It's just a bit artistic freedom

I just found out why FireFox (and presumaly for the same reason Chrome/Safari) has some issues with the Hitchhiker's Guide to PG when it works with Internet Explorer perfectly fine!
They do not handle invisible layers as they should. This prevents you from clicking onto content of a visible layer beneath it. Confirmatively, in FireFox invisible layers are optically invisible but not for mouse clicks!
That's why those users cannot click onto BPs below Collector, Mantis units below Mender/Lord Fam Doom and player ships below Clan Ships

:mrorange: Big shame on FireFox & Co. :mrorange:


I am probably unable to remove invisible layers as all drop-down and pop-up menu are based on switching visibility properties of layers. And frankly, I don't feel it is my responsibility. FireFox/Chrome/Safari should really get such basics sorted. What's an invisible layer good for if you cannot click through it. I find this inacceptable :frown:

PS: Will still try to manipulate the x, y and z coords of various layers so that they don't overlap anymore.. UPDATE: I think I fixed it ^^

 

[kowalski]

ur www is fantastic. althou the levels of mantists ate totaly inacrurate ( i am speaking of antares system). sometimes +5 levels add to urs give accurate level of mob
