found new materials

[Kingston@#]

my apps if this has already been posted.
I have been scanning uplinks and organic. and I though what would happen if I fired on a scavenger. they dropped things, here what I have got so far.
new mats, unknown carapace, unknown organic circuity, unknown energy cell. unknown technology components.
new data, unknown wake data, unknown structural data, unknown residue analysis, unknown material composition data, unknown ship data, unknown ship signature.
any idea's what they are for?

Engineered anti-Thargoid weapons prolly.

Engineered anti-Thargoid weapons prolly.

Either that or in 2.4 they'll change the names to to 'Thargoid KOS Target Locator Beacon' or 'Thargoid Infiltration Device' and you won't be able to jettison them.

they do respond to being attacked. at last a threat

I've been wondering this myself. I also haven't unlocked Palin yet so I'm not sure I'll be able to enter the base at all so I'm either spending my next several hours of play trying to enter the base or I'm simply off to exploration while I dump everything I gathered at the site.

So ... you shot at them?

Its all your fault then! What will come upon us, is all based on your actions!

I flew to the alien bases last night and I was very careful not to destroy anything ... didn't shoot at scavengers, nor at those barnacle spikes, didn't touch an egg ...
I was a good boy!
Won't help us, as it looks.

We humans are doooooomed, I tell you!
I hope, your new materials are worth it! *sobs*

Are all those new mats corrosive?

I picked some up myself and the answer is no

He he he, the game rewards shooting at things. What did you expect people would do?

Keep them as I can see them being usefull for upgraded armour and weaponry against thargoids.

WTB more storage space, this hurts even before actually gathering some of the new materials!

Yup, I found out the Scavengers drop mats almost immediately after meeting one.

I shot it once, and wired for my doom.
It just spat on me and went about its business.

So I killed them all. And hoovered up the goodies.

My assumption is they are going to be for anti-thargoid modifications.

This thread gives me unhappy thoughts.

Ah, the carapace. The staple diet of all RPG material crafting grinds. I wonder how many will be needed to create 'Anti Thargoid Gloop Hull Plating' for my Corvette? I'm guessing a lot.

I spent a couple hrs roaming around site. scanned all the data links I could find. killed all the scavengers and destroyed all the organics. got quite a lot of goodies.
we defo need more space for data and matts. current amount is not going to be enough for all the differing types that can be collected.
I think 2000 each for mats and data should suffice.
I have lots and now have no room for other matts if I cant use these new ones. other matts are in low supply while holding on to them. though I do thinks size of ship your using should dictate how much matts you can carry.
its a shame we cant store these!

So ... you shot at them?

didn't touch an egg .

when I was there. I could not lock on to the eggs. so I left them in peace! not scrambled.
shame I like them scrambled[haha]
