"Experimental Weapons Stabiliser will be made available"? Where?

Can anybody tell me where the class 3 experimental weapons stabliser is sold?

I didn't run the community goal and thus hope to buy some from rescue megaships, but only to find out that nobody is selling tier 3 experimental weapons stabiliser!

The community goal post reads:

If Tier 1 is reached:
  • The Class 3 Experimental Weapons Stabiliser will be made available at rescue megaships on the 26th January.
  • The Class 5 Experimental Weapons Stabiliser will be made available at rescue megaships on the 2nd February.
So I checked rescue megaships and Glorious Prospect in LHS 1163, which was the destination of community goal, but NONE of them sold class 3 experimental weapons stabliser. Or was frontier suggesting 20th Jan of 3309 irl?
 
Apparently Friday/Monday (unless you took part in the CG and finished high enough in the rankings; if so it should be available now).
 
assumptions
check the main thread
.

the class 3 is supposed to be available as of oo hours this morning for everyone that was in the CG.

otherwise only top50% actually got them put into their storage.

the rest of us that were in the cg are supposed to be able to buy them

it says very clearly in the mission what and when and where.

I imagine but am likely very wrong, that they will roll out to rescue megaships in the same way suits do.

that should mean today, before tomorrow starts.

most likelyhood atm seems NEXT Thursday, at LEAST 24 hours after the top 25% are given out.
seems like some prejudice here.
if we don't see them today, I don't expect them on feb 2nd either.
its not a complex thing. but for some reason isn't happening.

your reward is in the mail.
 
I got them for one account
16 hours after they were supposedly available

i then travelled to every rescue megaship and mbooni and lhs 1163 in both of my other accounts and got zero..none left.

so, regardless of what any fdev says they did this morning. maybe, maybe not.

proof is in the finding. and I have 4, so not looking any more for my alt accounts.
mostly because they are a total disappointment.
non-stackable
have to wonder about the math

10 available slots
2 open slots

after filling in 1 slot
10 available slots
2 open slots

yet only the 1 slot, and its got one in it...so not really.


---------
so, Are they stackable or do these words have no value?
on a similar note Can a cmdr put a class 3 and a class 5 on the same one ship they are sitting in such as a conda or a vette or a cutter or a t-10, and then put the normal 4 ax plus 1, plus 2
or is it plus 2 is the max, thats it thats all, max was 4 now it is 6? is this the way it is intended to work?
its far too late for an answer to have any meaning , but it would have been nice to know from the start.
And it would still be nice to know, as I am sure I am not the only person that wants to have a FULL AX loadout on a t-10, vette, conda, cutter, gunship.
------------


I think it should be
after filling in 1 slot
0 available slots
0 open slots

or if they are stackable then
after filling in 1 slot
9 available slots
1 open slots

I will wait till feb 9th to test. honestly don't expect to see my class 5's till then.

as I can only expect the truth from another cmdr at this point. or rather a no omission statement. someone that actually answers an asked question.

I think you are and were confused.

The class 3 variant allows you to carry a TOTAL of 5 instead of 4 and the class 5 variant will allow you to carry a total of 6 instead of 4. AFAIK nobody ever said anything else and surely nobody claimed it would be stackable. No idea where you got that information from.

Also, Sally said we "will now begin to see the expected Class 3 Experimental Weapon Stabiliser more readily available" which implies that you shouldn't be surprised if you can't see them just yet.

I can confirm you that they are not stackable (3F class for the moment)
 
well, just for you

if no one pointed out that delivered items were not delivered, then what happens..wait for fdev to play their game and see for themselves..
thats not going to happen.

are you not aware that even for the completely developed Odyssey, we are the Beta testers for the non existant beta that never happened?

garaunteed that without our input, no matter its form, nothing would ever get fixed.


and fwiw
if I knew that over 4,000 cmdrs were expecting these, how many should be 'shipped' ?


I would say 40,000 should be shipped. not 400.

if 40,000 is too many, who does it hurt?

if 4-500 was not enough to cover 1/10th the demand, who does that help?

the difference between Chrysler Motors and Farmer Jones used car Salesman of the Century.


that megaships took less than 1 hour to be emptied tells me maybe 400 were bought by cmdrs.

the number of cmdrs in the cg x 10 would actually be a conservative estimate IMO.
no-one buys 1 and no one wants to not be able to use 2 or 3 or 4 if he can afford it, 10 is a really safe number.

after all, this was meant as a reward for taking part in a cg.

if you feel that treating a reward as something owed, arg....sad face...then thats not even close to good sportsmanship like behaviour.

better solution would have been to be 100% up front with all the facts, which likely would have removed many from the cg. me for 1.

and we should not be conditioned to expect delays and other failures, but it is what it is for the very reason that this is nothing new.
no part is new.

see this as tolerable for everything, you have more patience than expectations.
imo if expectations cannot be met for any reason at all, why not inform people? again conditioned to know you get told nothing while you wait and wait....
none of this is useful or helpful or creates a good atmosphere for future.

Do you think maybe you're over-reacting and in a day or two none of this will even be relevant, and you'll wonder what on earth you were angry about?

Your posts are like dadaistic poetry.
 
not angry, and i already know that it is irrelevant.. and knew this when I typed in the very first message about them.
not the point
, like I said if no-one gives feedback, what happens next is everyones fault for assuming fdev tests and sees a problem, we know this doesn't work.

get the point yet, report things that don't work the way we are told they are going to work.
very simple

that I happen to be one of those that types in 100 times more words than are necessary to get a point across or that I like to use analogies or other weird comparisons that maybe make no sense, is just the way I do some things some times.

that anyone assumes I am angry or even complaining when I am not, is not my bother.
been watching this type of thing since 2014.
for the first year of Odyssey, I refused to cooperate, it was sold to us as a completed game which it never was and is still nowhere near the level that Horizons reached regarding bug fixes and complete functions that work, etc....

I love the game, so because I took part with 3 accounts in this CG, I have some things to say.
If no one wants to read or listen, thats fine.
I am allowed

I never went anywhere near off topic until this exchange, which only barely still on topic.

If Logistics is not your thing, then I don't get the response at all.
Logistics is My thing, and the math was very simple.
And because I do play the game, I know how I mass buy things, and how many others buy things.
And as I pointed out, better to overstock a reward than to understock a reward.

imagine standing in line for a reward, only to be told, sorry come back another day, we are out..

this is not the latest iphone.
this is a very specific reward given for a specific action that did not have to be done by anyone, but rewards tend to interest people. till you have to work to find out why you didn't get it.
imo, being sold out for any reason is unacceptable. and every time it happens, less people show up for next time.

in this case, worsened by the timing, it was Thursday Weekly reset, more than a great time to ensure things sailed smoothly.
Numbers could have been allotted days ahead of time and already stocked everywhere, just waiting to turn the item ON.
if you know how stock works, you know this is too easy to do.
Worst case, an intern could easily have been tasked with making sure every megaship was ready, tested and working. did that happen...I don't think so.

Sally did have a cool response, she knew what happened, probably because so many of us wrote about it.
Cool would have been to insert her message into the local news at megaships or something along those lines.
And THAT would have kept ME out of the forums, which I am sure everyone would like.

I fully expect to go through this on Feb 2 as well. why not? - cu then.
you didn't do your part by reporting any deficiencies, too busy in here trying to have fun with letters, or did you?
and partly because I have yet to see a corrective action after someone says lessons learned.. that just means someone made a note something was not right.

if it helps, this is my way of responding to silly things. especially when I am in a good mood.
