i think we should be able to buy mass storage pods from the market, as then can be hard to get hold of from you artifact shipment. to buy it from the market 30gp each, if you can expand on this idea feel free to post reply

You get a ton of these at higher ranks but for lower ranking players this would be a very useful option.

should likely cost more then 30, as teserat containers are 14 my guess would be 50 a fair price (you get a discount for buying in bulk/forcing only a single attribute) but I agree with the principle.

im rank 251, i only got 1 mass storage pod so far, i would rather pay gp for them then wait and hope i get one from my artifact shipment

Do you collect 100 artifact points per hour chris?? I get a MSP every other day it seems, I have over 8,000 cargo at rank 300.
I had well over 3,000 cargo at rank 200 and around rank 100 was when I started to get them, save up to 20k artifacts and collect.
I wouldn't draw if I went below the 20k mark so every time I collected I had a chance to get one.
MSP cost 20k artifact points so if you never let your Artifact count build up you will never get them.

TC cost 14 and give 10 spaces, so for an artifact that gives 60 it would cost 70, could offer a discount for buying a bulk item so having it cost 55 would seem ok to me.

i let my artifact points build up to over 20000, my hourly production is at 1175, it takes awhile to build up, im letting it fill upto max capacity which is 63000

1. your art is WAY!!!!!!! too low i have 2.3k @ rank 235
2. you may be unlucky, but let it build up to about 30k because then you have several chances

im working on trying to get it higher, i will let it build up to 30k, i mainly foucused on research when it came to planets

30k gets you one chance at a MSP

wrong. i get many chances. lets say i have 30k and i get flux probes. now i have 29750 points, which still leaves me eligible to get me an msp

what are the odds of getting a msp from your artifact shipment, i have tried 3 days now and havent got one

binaryman and lone.lycan just looked at this, its over in the strategy page, the basis is all artifacts have the same chance of getting drawn (a little under 2% i think), as long as you have enough ap (20000)

ok i see, basicaly let my artifact points max out to increase my chances of getting one, in the mean i will work on increasing my hourly production to a good level

hopefully you don't get a bad streak like i had a while back... i literally went several months without seeing an MSP show up... had cargo packed up every hole and was constantly looking for space....


....now i get one a day usually... and i curse it when it happens (yet at the same time i welcome it, knowing i don't wanna go through cargo hell again)
