  2. This is a message to miners on Calypso: A container of goods handled by Helios Shipping has been lost.

    Because of errors in administration, several items in the manifest were not covered by the insurance policy, and Helios Shipping is solely responsible for their delivery.

    The objects were packed in protective cases capable of surviving anything short of an atomic bomb.

    On behalf of the customer, who wishes to be anonymous at this time, Helios Shipping would like to have these returned, but as their resources on Calypso consists of a shipping clerk and some cargo handlers on the moon Kallisti, they cannot conduct the search themselves.

    For this reason, Helios Shipping will reward the return of these objects.

    The lost objects are believed to be scattered all over Calypso, buried on impact, so Helios Shipping calls for the aid of Calypso’s miners to search for them.

    • 30 x Hiyachi Model 132 Tachyonic Transformer
    • 15 x Simyenov 98 Superluminal Relay
    • 5 x Blmenberg AL-34 Plasma Temperature Sensor
    Rewards will be traded for each object returned as follows:


    Hiyachi Model 132 Tachyonic Transformer: each one will be traded for Genesis Star Energy Extractor EE/05 SGA Edition and Genesis Star Earth Excavator ME/05, SGA Edition.

    Simyenov 98 Superluminal Relay: each one will be traded for Fire Forge ARR 8000, SGA Edition.

    Blmenberg AL-34 Plasma Temperature Sensor: each one will be traded for Jaguar Harness, SGA Edition.

    I wonder why they don't just drop the items in the loot instead of having to go through the hassle of trading people for these "storyline" items?
     
  6. Wow that's amazing graphics, much better than my laptop. There seems to have been a huge gameplay improvement too! Lol

    Because some of us like a storyline to go along with our rpg...

    They could just drop the items though and the story would be the same without the neccessity of exchanging items for the SGA stuff.

    Yes, they could do that, or they could also do what most RPGs do and add some storyline...
