Hi,

I have received a number of questions as to the elusive P-Shell (doesn't drop) and checked my code:

  • elif lootID in ["MOBDRE2"] and GAME.getStarSys().ID == "SSIDQuthor" and random.randint(1,100) > 50:
  • call assemble_bot_template(random.choice(["BTT_DEFAULT"]*8+["BTT_KRELL1"]*2+["BTT_KRELL2"]*2+["BTT_VOR1"]*2+["BTT_MODEL1"]+["BTT_PRO1"]))

Two items to notice: 

Firstly, shells are only dropped by Drengarian Privateers (the more powerful gys with the two stripes, found in asteroid belt or level 6/7 bounties.
Secondly, probability is set too low (1 in 16 drops).

I'll double that probability in the Official Release on 8th Dec. If you know your way around a code editor, you can just add a multiplier behind the ["BTT_PRO1"] brackets. ;)

y.v.

Quick question. Is the quality of parts on the bots related to the difficulty of the mission they are found in? It would be nice if difficulty 6 and 7 missions had higher likelihood of dropping gen 2 and 3 advanced and military grade parts. Thanks

so far not fully. gen 1 is excluded from main parts and shells. good idea to have the super high mission bots higher guaranteed quality

In my experience only Drengan Corsairs drop P-shells. And they are stronger than Privateers.
