Got Secret Ship on first ever playthrough! (Spoilers)

[fall_ark]

Sir! what are you waiting for! we want to see the layout!

Relax. Here's two old pics from other users:

TYPE A

TYPE B

[Sick Boy]

in the short time after i typed that last message i already unlocked the type A

type A seems quite nice, 2 crystal people, the awesome augment and 2 shield piercing weapons.

Type B from what i see here looks like a really special ship, made for boarding, can't wait to try it

[Acutus]

type two is great fun, type 1..meh, not so much.

Boarding with type two is just great.
1:Teleport into their weapons room.
2:Wait for 1 or two of them to come in.
3:Rotate the lockdown ability your crew have(or whatever its called).
4:Use cloak when needed so your ship doesnt get hit while your crew is smashing their weapons.

Find the portal again and buy more of them if theyre in the stores

the only problem you have is at the start when you have no weapons, you have to jump away from those automated ships. just TP to its weapons smash em TP back and wait for the FTL drive or smash as much as you can to get your combat damage skill up before jumping.

i've been unable to even find the correct chain of events for this ship, and i'm desperate to get it.

Took a sheer amount of dumb luck on my end.

[Jessen]

a little modder's ingenuity is what i needed...giving a ship the stasis pod to start with and flying it into Zoltan space to wake the crystal in the pod up worked, then all i had to do was fly around rock homeworld space.

[apostateCourier]

You DON'T need to be in a Zoltan controlled sector to get the pod fixed. I both found the pod and ran into the Zoltans that would fix it in a single Engi controlled sector, within a jump of each other.

I will have to correct several flawed statements in this thread:

1. You can find the stasis pod in a distress signal (plain distress signal to be exact, no ships or anything) in Engi, Rock, or Pirate sectors of any kind.

2. You can find the Zoltan scientists in any Engi or Zoltan sector on plain beacons.

However it is true that the warp gate is on a plain beacon in the Rock Homeworlds.

Edit: Also, it does not necessarily have to be in sectors 5, 6, and 7.

In fact, EVERY sector after the starting sector can easily be a Zoltan, Engi, Rock or Pirate sector. However Rock Homeworlds can only appear after sector 4. Or was that sector 5?
