CAUSTIC SINK LAUNCHER AIDS MAELSTROM EXPLORATION​

02 MAR 3309
Pilots’ Federation ALERT
Aegis’s initiative in the Duamta system has kick-started production of a ship module designed for caustic environments.
Shipments of advanced catalysers, heatsink interlinks and palladium were delivered following a request from Professor Alba Tesreau. Pilots also provided tissue samples extracted from the caustic generators inside each Maelstrom, which are a vital component of these modules. Manufacturing bases have now been established, allowing stocks of the caustic sink launcher to reach the public market.
Dr Maximo Fonseca, head of xenological research at Gateway Laboratories, published a statement on behalf of Aegis:
“The Thargoids have developed powerful defences to prevent their enemies reaching the heart of the Maelstroms. The dangerously caustic gas clouds are an effective deterrent, and have sadly claimed the lives of many intrepid pilots.”
“So, the caustic sink launcher is an exciting breakthrough that will both save lives and facilitate vital data recovery. Now that ships can survive for longer within the clouds, the acquisition and study of tissue samples and caustic shards should increase. The next priority for Aegis is to study the massive energy surges that prevent access to the inner region of a Maelstrom.”
Aegis has invited all pilots who took part in the delivery initiative to collect their rewards from the Orunmilla in the Duamta system.

Edit = Module can be unlocked for Mats at limited number of rescue mega ships TODAY.
Purchase unlock at Tech broker on the rescue mega ships First with mats ... Not via cash or credits...
Then buy at rescue ships in the correct filter of out fitting if they have stock.

Extra info as this is a modified heat sink build its in tiny hard point filters aka utility mounts not optional modules filters in 4.0... and not experimental. just pre-engineered modified heat sinks...

Money available now... module for the (edit) Top 25% that took part will arrive when shipping allows them to arrive as late as monday the 6th of march...

Ok, so we're getting this thing. We need to pick ONE maelstrom, get a fleet of ships with this thing, make up a formation (like a 5-pointed star for a WW II bomber formation) and head on in. I think a wave of about 10-20 ships should do it. Some guy in the back needs to do a video.
 
when i checked this morning you could buy them at tech broker on rescue ships

Only, you'll have to survive longer within the clouds in order to get a device to survive longer within the clouds.
 
Just went to a rescue megaship's tech broker and paid the material requirements, but the module wasn't either available to buy in outfitting or put into my module storage.

This was pretty much exactly my conclusion on this week's Lave Radio. Since we can't (yet) penetrate the pulse that kicks us away from the heart of the malestrom, the main benefit (at the moment) of using caustic sinks would seem to be to allow us to stay in the maelstrom longer so we can gather the materials needed to synthesize more caustic sinks.

Is the unlock cost per launcher, or a general unlock that allows us to purchase multiple launchers?

My prediction is per launcher (since this is the new FDEV grind mechanic for the enhanced weapons).
