Late game uncommon items...

[whaleduck]

I heard about hierosteel armor and neutronium armor. I'm assuming they're late-game, but where do you get them?

BTW: shouldn't hierosteel be notradom? ex get it from taikon after completing their herectic mission

Hierosteel armor is too high level to spawn in part 1; it was likely a placeholder item. Neutronium armor has a chance to spawn in Taikon or Teraton stations.

[whaleduck]

But a placeholder for what? If it is a placeholder for a potentially non-existent item, then why is it in the code?
Couldn't modders make a new armor?

[FourFire]

Modders can and do, make new armor, Hell even I have, I guess that Hieriosteel armor might be for the boss of part II or III
Anyhow, it's there for whatever reason.

[whaleduck]

But here is what I'd like to know. WHY, if it is unsuitable to spawn in part I, even in the code. Why didn't George implement hierosteel when part II or III comes out.

Offtopic: Will there be a part IV?

[sun1404]

Possibly, it's there because George doesn't want to forget it, or it's there for debug/test run (using mods or the like to spawn it), or it was made as a part of some cancelled enemy (because it's nigh-indestructible).

Transcendence 0.7 had few more high level items defined such as graviton laser, nano injector, and others.

Also, removing an UNID has bad effects on a saved game file, even if the item is never spawned.

I originally added it when I thought (silly me) that I could complete the full game relatively quickly. Still, I'm working on it, so it will show up eventually (likely in Part II).

Hierosteel in part II? What would part III be like? That armor's completely indestructible in part I, and almost so by any weapon types showed in part I. Would there be more damage types than already present?
