Extended Piratez general FAQ/Strategy Guide

I heard UAC vaults has gnomes?

I do know there's the armored gnome in bounty hunt B.  If you didn't ?challenge? any bounty hunters yet, challenge goblin zaxx and you'll have a gauranteed chance at capturing the gnome.  The gnome is difficult to capture, although you can look around the forums for methods.

Thunderhorse is a ways away heh.  You need to successfully assault a heavy freighter typically.

challenge goblin zaxx

Thats a good idea actually. I already have this subject to research.

Whats the deal with UAC btw? I remember that on previus run i had multiple base defences against those guys from doom.
Met few missions this them on the current run but cant figure out what needed to unlock vault.

[Greep]

Ratmen and doom dude base defenses are just something that happens a few times a year, no way to stop them spawning I think.  You can stop them from successfully invading with even a small amount of base defense facilities (they're hidden foot patrols, so they go down easy) if you want to bother.

Main bottleneck for UAC vaults is the uranium weapons documentation.  So it's mostly random when you can unlock it.  I haven't done the mission myself yet.

[Requiem]

I guess those missions just not for me, cause they locked behind embrace the power=>shadow chasing=>hyperwave mysticism.
Dont know what in the hell Wasteland priestess II neither.
Interesting that ninja gods=>ninja guns locked behind shadow chasing too.
Truly confusing stuff going on.

[Greep]

Well, it's actually weird, I don't think they're lockout out on reject path.  But in order to start that path you need your gnome, since it looks like the priestess is gated by shadowtech

I guess its about this thing on the screenshot. She met me as event in early game and said that i need to unlock Thebes and do some grind for "purple bloom".
I will try to focus on capturing civilians more now. I only bothered with leaders so far.
Oof.. If only I had chosen the gray codex..

I am not sure, but as of 0.99M4 ver. that event is fixed anyways, it happens in every single game, pherapsh might need to be randomized?

[Greep]

Yeah that's the first priestess event.  The second priestess event that requires shadowtech on reject path, so the gnome is necessary for it.  Also gates off the primal hunts I think.

Just wanted to say Fire pit is pure gold to defend secondary bases where you don't have proper garrison.

Just place it between your Hangars & lift and Outpost & living quarters, so enemies have to come through it to get to your crew.

Is that a chance  for event to apear?
Unlocked everything i could i think but still no event. 

[Greep]

Yup, per month.  Just gotta wait.

[Requiem]

I am trying to do "govt base defence".
Briefing says that i can convince the general somehow but how?
I got him and govt enforcer(stunned their asses with emp)in escape area but mission ends with fail and without them. I tried to heal him to the sleep status or carry them in hands. Nothing works.
So how to complete these missions? Do i supposed to kill all those turrets or accept -2500?

[legionof1]

Clear the board or take the score. Thou knocking out the government elites can help the overall score, they are not recoverable.

[Requiem]

I thought xpiratez ideal mod. 
Worst part is these 6 miniguns on the sides. I think it is possible to execute some epileptics with this mission.
Interesting that corpse of the general recoverable. At least now i got second power armor for assault bike.

mission is a frustration, but as you noted you can get some good loot from the general and his enforcer pals
