It might affect quest rewards, but on the ground there seems to be no correlation, unless there's a reason for a 100% anarchy system in Boom to have lots of Campaign Plans at their tourist attractions...
Can you tell us if Smear Campaigns are in game yet? Anyone find one with the update?
- Thread starter Karmix
- Start date
Yeh, and I hope the likely massive list of demands doesn't detract from the urgent stuff.
PRs aren't urgent. Two suits at g5 after three weeks and 0 smear campaigns strongly supports that proposal.
a middle ground could simply be more fluffy information on what the material is, who uses it, or how it is made, or what it is used for.
"used by miners to power their torches" "produced by the best horticulturists in the galaxy"
without any info I've resigned myself to upgrading things only when I've randomly stumbled upon enough materials to trade them for what I want. I have no real direction to find anything I might specifically be after. I'm also pretty confused at what the difference is between materials and the other items. it's not made very obvious to me that they are different things that require separate storage pouches in my bag.
Horizons materials have quite extensive information about them, where to find them even. It seems strange to treat horizons and odyssey engineering as different things, they should probably align to some extent.

They might be for others though.
SC and OP are not the only things that should be looked at in my opinion.
But perhaps asking for feedback on other things in a thread dedicated to SC was not the best approach.
I've got two g5 suits. I've got 0 SCPs.
I think I'd rather them focus on the latter. The other data unlocks need attention too, because most aren't fun at all.
PRs can be fun, you can get them from missions, steal them and if you absolutely must, cheese them (not fun but fast)
The fact that nobody (afaik) has posted any definitive correlation between settlement types, faction states and data types suggests to me that they are either completely random and reliant on RNGesus, or not working as intended.
The fact that FDev are being vague, if not elusive about them, is making it look like it's the latter. If it is an issue just say so please FDev, so we can avoid further frustation & doubt and give you time to fix it while we enjoy other content Odyssey has to offer.

And i have 0 power regs, granted i could rob them from settlements, and most likely die in the attempt (whole other thing, and that ones on me) . A way to acquire them legally, with a little more frequency would be nice. Now factabulous has mentioned he sees them a lot, so i'll have to go looking at some of the systems he mentions.
I agree that SC missing completely is a critical thing, but you don't get to decide whats important or not for other players
I know, I wrote that in my posts here as well.
But if you don’t want to cheese or do illegal stuff then it’s more difficult.
Well, they seem to be rare enough that no one ever seen them.
Maybe, maybe a check-up on the odds is needed or even some hints where they should be looked upon
Well, certainly no one with an Inara account managed to find 8 of them to unlock the last engineer.
You can't "blaze your own trail" in Odyssey if you want to upgrade & engineer your suits & weapons.
Maybe they should have called it Oliver as you have to pick a pocket or two
Just an idea, has anyone tried relating powerplay faction and status/ethos into finding smear campaigns? Say something like Pranav Antal expansion systems?
I think that was Hawkes gaming, and it happened before the patch that broke SCs. Since the patch 2 weeks ago SCs have not been found.
It's not unreasonable to ask that a thread called
Can you tell us if Smear Campaigns are in game yet?
could remain on-topic. That doesn't really have anything to do with dictating what other people can think is important, does it?
You know, I think it is time that we developers and the development community at large come up with a rigorous method for testing whether or not all of our software subsystems and user experiences perform as expected before launching a final product. I propose an iterative and tiered system of tests using the Greek alphabet to distinguish the different phases. We could even involve a selection of our customer base in testing our release candidates since they always manage to find issues that slip past us.
Too radical?

It would be more interesting to know how many player actually downloaded one.
Word on the street is that 2.8% of Commanders have found one ... 
Did you read the rest of the thread? Did you see where Zac asked, specifically, if there were other mats causing problems?
Threads evolve.
