  Weird Stuff and Data collected  

I saved a lot of stuff in gc and uc when uc was being developed.

Came across stuff which is bound to be dated, but still interesting.


Aqua Orb, Black Orb, Blue Orb, Brown Orb, Golden Orb, Gray Orb, Green Orb, Moccasin Orb, Orange Orb, Pink Orb, Plum Orb, Purple Orb, Turquoise Orb, White Orb, Yellow Orb,

Ancient remnants from the old Kal-Zul Empire, Some archaelogists say the inscriptions mention the "Fusion" of these artifacts with others, yet most believe they make great household decorations.



Energy Pod

The Energy Pod glows dimly showing evidence of some form of Energy stored within it. The Energy Pod has currently no known use resulting in most people using it primarily as a fancy decorative light.


Amber Dinero

Upon first use of dineros it was discovered that these strange artifacts when activated tended to have strange effects on an empires own bank account, and some enterprising soul discovered this worked on other empires accounts as well.


Amethyst Dinero

Upon first use of dineros it was discovered that these strange artifacts when activated tended to have strange effects on an empires own bank account, and some enterprising soul discovered this worked on other empires accounts as well.


Assimilated Base

A construction started by the collective race a in a failed attempt to create a starbase, so far found only in the buried remains on worlds long abandoned by the collective.


Bronze Dinero

Upon first use of dineros it was discovered that these strange artifacts when activated tended to have strange effects on an empires own bank account, and some enterprising soul discovered this worked on other empires accounts as well.


Cuarto Mapa

These maps are usually undecipherable formula codes left behind by the Kal-Zul. Occasionally scientists are able to make one function and release hidden formulas. But some argue thier intended use is to meld with other artifacts for larger gains

good times, i was the first person on RT to ever fight Lucus, and i won, got 5 BTC`s and 5 PCC`s for it if i`m not mistaken BTCs were for the first one to fight it, and PCC`s were for actually winning.

I feel old in that DM ... very old considering it was my 2nd or 3rd one I did.

On that note, I have alot of stuff from those days as well on my feds forums. I recall the best thread about the birth of Lucas on TB servers back in 06`, yes it has been 10 years and a few posts that are edited below:

02/03/06 Check out the rankings. Lucus is the richest player out of all the servers, even surpassing everyone on the R/T server and he resides on the Ultra server.

Believe it or not, I welcome the idea of the character Lucus coming in. It definitely spices up the game quite a bit since he has the ability to build whatever ships he wants. You should all be thankful that the staff or Stephen has thought of something like this to make the game a bit more interesting.

I personally don`t mind fighting Lucus even with his ability to use all of the ships available in the game and his huge bankroll, but not when he has time capsules up the ying yang. That right there is not right, especially since only a handful of players are able to reach him and put a dent in his fleet. Keep his turns in check and then players will start to use their cash reserves and artifacts to take him down.

03/03/06 Although I like Lucus - I`m more worried about his fashion statement:

Please don`t let him jump over SharkRider! :-)

03/03/06 AC: Someone said he was using Persiana`s before, so what;s stopping it from using STC`s and BTC`s when building up?

03/03/06 while lucus may have been an attempt by the people behind the scenes to spark some life into the game, i believe lucus doesnt work for turbased servers... on rt, there are

Also wonder if any of this one has changed.

How do I dig for more and more useful artifacts?
Several things effect the amount and their type of artifacts you will get.

.Planet : In order from Worst to best Ocean, Gas, U.Spazial (Other planets will yield artifacts, but not nearly in the same quantity)

.Land Mass : As a General Rule of thumb, the lower land the planet, the better results it will hold, the ideal digging planet would be a 2 land U.Spazial

.Actions : Actions you have taken in the last 20 mins will effect your chances

.Race : Certain Races have a positive or negative modifier to finding artifacts

This isn`t Comprehensive, there are many other things that contribute, but it is unrecommended not to spend to many turns at a time, especially during a period rares are expected, as every so often you will get messages such as “building site collapsed, $xxx Paid to diggers as comp.” Which wont bankrupt you, but will mean you do not gain any artifacts from that dig. A paid account should also increase your chances of finding things by 20%

One other Major thing is time, Different times will Give different sucess rates, of different artifacts... eg. (All times listed in server time)

Commons
04:00PM – 06:30PM
07:00PM - 08h30PM
09:00PM - 10h00

Uncommons
08:31PM – 09:00PM

Rares
06:31PM – 07:00PM

You will find orbs and artifacts at other times, this is just when you re most likely to find things of each type.

What restrictions are there on artifacts?
You Cannot use the capsule lab during a UW

You Cannot use a PCC On another empire, or at all during a UW

You cannot use a PCC when you already have the maximum amount of colony`s

You cannot use a Gordo on your home world if its a stable homeworld <-- is this still true for Aminers and Terrans ?

Major Gordo

In early attempts to create The PCC`s, and the accidental discovery of the Minor Gordo, the artifact was refined to create this, more effective Planet expansion artifact.


Planetary Core (PCC)

The planetary core of a planet was succesfully extracted by an ancient race. The remains are then in some unknown way transported in to a five dimensional encasement. Upon destroying this encasement the original planet of which the planetary core belongs to will appear. This is speculated to be a means of transporting and keeping planets between the vast areas of the galaxy during ancient times.

Turns can only go up to the maximum amount of turn storage for that server, so if the maximum turn storage is 180 and you have 175 already you will only gain 5 turns.
