[quote="BYakhee"]You need to spend another token @ level 100 hull upgrade and Build weapons @ 5 at Telum to start the other line.[/quote] Ahhhhh! So I need to spend another token @ 100 to finish stage one weapons research! Thanks for the clarification, Byakhee. I don't know if I was being dim, didn't see it because it was obvious, or had my expectations set up to expect stage one completed between 50-74 and stages two + three completed between 100-134. Ah well, learn and carry on.

Privateer Yogabilly [b][u]v2.0[/u][/b] reporting in... C13 E12 T26 = OL51 (build weapons L5, projectile weapon L3). I am on weapons stage one (again) and gotten a symbol of loyalty. I am confused because it's not clear what to do next -- what am I missing this time? The only recipes I've gotten so far are from ammunition research: blowgun toxicum dart and effervo flechette. No recipe for the L2 beam. No recipe for the L5 projectile. No recipe for the stage two invite. No expert creator of weapons card to use in the invite recipe. Warriors get a clue to go see Var to continue their research but privateers get no clue. I noticed the new talk trees for the Nostrand Vor NPCs that describe the stages but for a privateer, there isn't much information on what to do next except wait for 100-135 which can't be right. If I don't complete the remainder of stage one before 75 I think I am gonna be either rolling Yogabilly again or raising the middle digit! [b]What am I supposed to do next?[/b] Am I supposed to do shields research and extract a SOOA and show it to Telum @ 100? This is what I tried to do before but Telum would not speak to me and it caused me to re-roll Yogabilly and start again. I would appreciate confirmation please that this is the next step before I level any further.

Ahh, Byakhee updated his reply after I posted! It's a much better reply than that one liner! Actually, I think I will just go for plan B and re-roll my privateer and try to break the mission again on purpose. I am curious anyway to see what new changes were introduced with this content update.

[quote name='Byakhee' timestamp='1331107389' post='55068'] You need to specify the mission name first. [/quote] Sorry, didn't write the mission name down -- but here's some more information that might help? Privateer weapons stage one beginning @ OL50 or HU50. It gives these recipes: Weapons - L2 Calthius Omega Beam, [u]L5 Multiforus Multiplico Effervo Quinque (MMEQ) PL, Stage II Invite - Weapons[/u] Ammo - L2 Blowgun Toxicum Dart, L5 Effervo Flechette My privateer got the recipes above that are not underlined - the omega beam recipe came from somewhere else though, while researching either shields or reactors much later. Telum asked my privateer to acquire a L5 MMEQ PL from another weapons researcher. Did that, went to speak to her again. Normally what I do when speaking to an Agrippa NPC like Telum, is not have the items in cargo for the first talk. Expecting the welcome speech nothing else. That's what normally happens. Except this time, Telum mentioned something about Gratis Augustus Var then the talk ended. I moved the MMEQ to cargo from vault and tried speaking to her again but got the welcome speech. I was expecting Telum to look at the MMEQ and take it from my cargo. Instead she talked about Var, which seemed like the end of stage one talk where she gives the researcher the final recipes like the stage two invite, symbol of loyalty? and the card used in the invite recipe (expert creator of weapons?). Didn't get any of those items. I hope that information enables you to decide which mission this was that seemed to bug out for me. Do you think a GM would help me try to recreate this bug by setting levels on my character and letting me do stage one weapons again? I would be happy to take notes and screenshots, whatever is needed. I have not yet spoken to any GM.

[b]Telum seems to advance the talk tree in PP weapons stage one without an Effervo L5 or ammo in cargo.[/b] The problem with this is that the PP doesn't appear to get credit for obtaining an Effervo L5 from another researcher although Telum's script advances. It appears to curtail weapons stage one. Without the Effervo and ammo in cargo I expected the usual speech from Telum about joining the research. Normally, with the Effervo L5 and ammo in cargo I would expect Telum to take the PL and ammo. I tried this after testing Telum's talk tree without the items in cargo and no joy. No joy because Telum was already bugged at this point. Now, I thought after reading the forums posts here especially the multi-page post that perhaps Telum wanted to see a SOOA in cargo. I progressed my PP to OL100 and did shields research and tried a SOOA based on this possibility but no joy either. [b]It was at this point that I knew that Telum had bugged out earlier on.[/b] Recipes didn't get: L5 Multiforus Multiplico Effervo Quinque (MMEQ) PL, Stage II Invite - Weapons And of course my PP hasn't been given an auto-invite into stage two/three. Which is a problem now because the character is OL107 after wanting to test a SOOA gained from shield research. NB. Did get the recipe for L2 Calthius Omega Beam but that seemed to come from either stage two shields or reactor research, either of the NPCs sent me over to see Telum for the recipe. [b]So Byakhee and other researchers please can you aknowledge this bug?[/b] I'd like a bit of help here to get my PP, Yogabilly, done with stage one weapons and into stage two/three. Invite into stage two is not an acceptable option as this prevents me from doing stage three. Countless hours spent levelling this character would be for nothing without a little help here, if this was a bug.
