Implying that space suit is only useful for Space, and implying that you can't go into space before Codex ship is available... Implying it is that super-hard to get 50 demonic essence...
It
might be possible to reach space by getting an interceptor going, im a little fuzzy on my memory but it seems like the ability to build your codex ship is right behind that or about the same time.
# my face when, over a year ago I sold my codex ship fuego, because it couldnt get into space, and a deliverator was faster (I had an interceptor and just kept sending 2 person missions into space)
# I have no idea why only one of the codex ships can reach space. The Fuego literally comes with space suits and has a bootypedia image of it flying through space.50 demonic essence? Not sure ive seen that requirement come up in the production menu yet (yikes). But its easily achievable.

I havent had many dark ones missions come up - havent turned up a BFG yet for example. And capturing those critters is right difficult at the point of the game where I ran into them. Maybe now with neural whips I could capturecrazy them but - those missions arent coming up anymore (and ive got plenty of hyperwave coverage to catch the probes). The last 3 probes have gone to a ret bunker.
No pogroms either due to the ret-human cooperation thing.
Dioxine that reminds me, it would be really great if Yeomen could be transformed into soldiers somehow. Since their image and the mission they go on is indicative of being a soldier. I was looking forward to that option (along with green tactical armor as per their bootypedia image) but when I checked the manufacture rules all I found was something called a Farmhouse for them, havent got to that yet but it seems like an item rather than a facility.
Bombers and battleships, it's the game telling you that you need to hunt bigger targets.
None of those are turning up anymore. I never even saw a Battleship until I did a battle game with one (and learned how to kill it easy by blowing up those cylinder things).
I would hit either one if I saw it and it landed. Unless it was mercinaries. But I literally havent seen any of these.
Maybe ive been too effective on shipping activity? There's 1 Enemy Base (Mercs) in south america and thats it. Ive destroyed all the others.
Shipping traffic is kinda dead, there's only rebel freighters, govt fusion cruisers, and govt fighters doing their thing most of the time. Mercs go on merc contract runs. Ive been making a killing on trader freighters. Gifts Of Love are showing up. Some minor church stuff flies around and ive been getting alot of altar boys that way.
Occasionally something random like a raider barque flies around but there isnt much going on these days. I sacked most of my mad scientists, I keep about 8 of them just in case I find something new.
Ive ordered a Provost because they never appeared (100mil) and he's due to "arrive" within about a couple weeks. Someone else gave me the provost research topic unlock so ill be able to go straight to breaking him.
For some reason the "emancipation" and "civilization" topics are elusive so I cant get the gold or plastic chips crack yet. Id think the data discs would have yielded that (hint, diox) but its not on the data disc list.
I guess in the meantime (I forgot) I can stick the brainers on the discs but ive got at least 8 of them backlogged and a hell of alot of personal databases, I can just clear out all of the rest of the #Topic pedia entries so that nobody else will give them to me at random.
Edit: All of the other "files" topics are also cleared out (govt files, humanist files, govt-reticulan files, russian files), none of them appear on the research menu, so I sell them. Its now the end of December 2603. Ive also starting to rack up hellerium fuel capsules now that I can make them, but im somehow nowhere near getting the final studies graduation thing.
