OK, got my 2 quantum torpedo launchers mk VI from doing exploration missions

I did 2 missions that took 40 minutes each to complete, in order to earn a total of 140 (estimate) exploration points 3rd order. That sure beats paying inflated prices on the exchange for the launchers. Today I'm taking my newly outfitted ship to conduct a test on them. Hope they were worth the effort.

    i'm still Lc with both my characters - but first thing i did with either is explore's and decked them out with full plasma MK IV's.. it's a great way to outfit a new ship, 5 missions = 4 max weapons for your ship. - sold most of my drops for 75% of tool tip price as well and made a nice chunk of change to boot.

    Those are the missions in the Delta Volonis Cluster, Arucanus Arms, Hromi Cluster, etc. Those areas on each map that lead to Exploration-only missions. They pay a specific type of Merit which allows you to buy Rare items from those vendors.

    Missions titled " Explore the TRIBBLE,TRIBBLE nebula/cluster/expanse) etc
    do 3 "unexplored systems" to complete the quest and receive exploration badges which you can then trade in for ship equipment.

    Where do you go to get the equipment? Is it on a Starbase?

    Sol Starbase has vendors in the center and above the Shipyard.

    Explore missions are ok, as long as they arent bugged or too tedious. I found them a good way to beef up your Bridge officers with some nice shields and weapons

    That's strange. I've never done a bugged one yet. I had one ship conflict where the foes were way up at the top of the map but I've never had one where there weren't any enemies at all.

    I have noticed that you have to be within around 2 LY of any anomolies before you can see them. Just try flying around and a bunch will pop up for you eventually, usually no more than a minute.
