Andromeda question

LeeJenn · Post by **LeeJenn** » Sun Jul 01, 2012 1:54 am

This refers to Legends Andromeda. I have followed the beacon quest to Andromeda. I have found the carrier with fusion at one end and other items at the other end. The alien structure located nearby has jumped me to other locations, which I then reloaded last save. I have located the planet with one of the alien structures in orbit in the ice ring. At the tip of it is a platinum 'generator?' that alternates with water with the tractor beam. I didn't find anything on the planet other than regular mining resources.

My question is: Is there something unique here that is beneficial and I'm just missing it or was I reading more into the description of the quest line than was actually there?

That is a good question.
I personally didn't find anything more that what you have mentioned already.
Maybe that hint, that was "there is more to it than it at first appears" or something like that, was referring to the
artifact that teleports you to different areas around the map?

I returned here a number of time in search for the mythical a "hyper-jump" device and for hints on getting past the Earth defense ring but never did find out much.
The items in the carrier are a a small bonus though.

I can't help but think I'm missing something. It almost seems there is a constructor, alien or otherwise, here somewhere.

With fusion and platinum along with water and energy being given from devices I'm thinking the first two can be combined to construct something, but where. I only have two cargo bays and tried swapping two items from the carrier with plat and fusn but it just replenishes with what was there originally. I may try to go back to known space and set up five bays and swap out all five items with various resource combinations. Was hoping to get some input as to how futile that might be.
The alien structures don't seem to do anything different or there is an activation sequence I'm not getting. I also checked the planet right below the structure and didn't find anything(as well as a lot of the rest of the planet).
Of course, there is the distinct possibility I'm on a wild goose chase here.

Rumors have been floating around since the dawn of Legends that strange and exotic items were hidden in out-of-the way places (or maybe even in plain sight). But clues to these items (or lack thereof), combined with the "nature of the beast" being a sandbox ... usually meant that pilots would eventually abandon the search and go off to do things which were less hit-and-miss.

This doesn't sound too promising.

I thought Andromeda was at 28000 not -28000 in both Sims?

;):P

Don't know about Merc but in Legends it is at 28000. Looks like Andromeda is way bigger than anyone thought...lol.

The "southern" Andromeda is the one where you find Hercules ... before he cut his hair and ventured into space.

Not that anyone is interested in this but I thought I might note a few things I tried here.
The carrier can exchange five items so I tried a few combinations of platinum, metals(gold & silver), diamonds and fusion, to no avail. I then tried five full cargo bays at a time of the different items still to no avail. If it has to be a specific combination in a specific order...well my patience factor wouldn't do well there.
I blew up all the asteroids. Tried the tractor beam on the beacon. Searched for other items. All to no avail.
I do find it curious that the structure by the planet gives off energy except at the point opposite the tip that dispenses platinum. Couldn't come up with any relevance there either tho. Gun fire has no effect.
So, like so many before me, it's a bust. I was hoping to finish this before moving on but doesn't look to be.

get hold of the Hints&Tips Guide form SeeJay's website: http://evochron.junholt.se/menus/downloads.htm

There's a recipe section in it - if you find any others, then please U2U me and I'll add them to the Guide

Did you try to jump through the wormhole in the center of the blackhole in Andromeda?....
