Overview
This is a quick and short guid about unlocking the Zoltan ship, which can be a big advantage because of its super shield, plus a few tips. 🙂
Introduction.
First of all you can achieve this with any ship , pluse no Zoltan crew members are needed .
HOWEVER, you need to be in the Zoltan HOMEWORLDS .
Getting down to doing it.
After you have entered a Zoltan sector, its you and your luck from here.
You need to keep exploring the sector untill you enter a normal beaon with a message saying : “An unarmed Zoltan vessel is slowly making its way toward the beacon, they hail “This is a zoltan peace envoy, we carry no weapons or shielding and rely on the mercy of others to communicate our message”
When this message appears you MUST NOT ATTACK THEM,
Instead, choose option 2 : Hail them out .
Then you will be given coordinates of a quest beacon .
When you get there a rebel ship will appear, again, DO NOT ATTACK IT.
Choose the option saying “Attempt to hail them out” .
They will tell you “I cant imagine theres anything you could say that will save you, the rebellion must destroy those who are still loyal to the obsolete federation” .
Answer with 1 .
And FINALLY when they say “Our ideals are too diffrent to be easily reconcilled, you think this can end anyway but war?”
Answer with 2 :”true progress can only be achieved without bloodshed .
AND THE ZOLTAN SHIP IS YOURS!!! .
A few tips about the ship.
Stupidly, I did not know that the beam of the Zoltan type A could cut through shields, so i kept running away every time i encountered an enemy with shields and focused on upgrading weapons.
Do not focus on upgrading weapons for probably the first 2 or 3 sectors…or even the 5th if you want to unlock one of the ship’s achievemnts by not upgrading the reactor untill sector 5.
So instead focus on just upgrading engines, save up some scrap for later, and maybe buy more systems like the drone controll or clone bay.
Also make sure you save up some scrap for buying crew members, that is probably going to be one of your top prorities, because if you get intruders….well youre basically done for :/ .
