a way to get a second erlking?
just wondering what would happen if you sell the erlking,
will it trigger the ability or quest to get the new one? allowing it to capture the first one too?
i have not tried, but i could see the option to see the one i have.

Hmm ... Boso's Dialog in the Files do implies we get a Blueprint but that Dialog isn't playing. Not sure if that bit was cut.

Re: a way to get a second erlking?
Blueprint is rewarded. Just you need the power core technology to build exactly 1, after which the technology is removed. Blueprint is permanent on acquiring the Erlking. Power core technology is only unlocked upon Erlking destruction.
Ideally what should happen is that once the ship despawns/is recycled after selling it you can research the power core retrieval and build another. Until the ship is effectively destroyed the player must not be able to research the power core or build another as otherwise that would open up an exploit allowing the player to own multiple Erlking ships.

Ah I understand, so we are only supposed to have one but we have a way to at least Rebuild the thing in case of Brainfart.Imperial Good wrote: ↑Mon, 21. Mar 22, 18:53Blueprint is rewarded.

Yes.
They also thought of this with the Astra. Should you go against the twins and lose one or both Astra, the Northriver twins respawn with them for you to claim again.

Re: a way to get a second erlking?
I have two erlkings in my non modified playthrough. I boarded the original and sometime after completing all the plots, boso randomly messages me about the powercore research being complete. I was able to build an additional erlking. So you can get two, you just have to board and not destroy the one in syndicate space.

Re: a way to get a second erlking?
How did you get the second one exactly? The first Erlking near the VIG "Keepsafe" is supposed to be boarded by you. But this means no power core research for you until the first gets destroyed.Karmaticdamage wrote: ↑Sun, 28. Aug 22, 00:20I have two erlkings in my non modified playthrough.

Re: a way to get a second erlking?
That would be a bug. The power core research requires the Erlking to be destroyed. The intended behaviour is that after boarding the VIG Erlking so that you now control the only Erlking and then you proceed to lose that Erlking, somehow, then the research becomes available and you can build another. The research should never become available as long as an Erlking exists.

Re: a way to get a second erlking?
You can't capture sold ships anymore, they are "impossible" difficulty like the ones added in missions. So even if you could build another while it lived it probably wouldn't let you get two.

Re: a way to get a second erlking?
I boarded the erlking in keepsafe, it was never destroyed. I didnt get the option to research the powercore, I just randomly got it completed some time later. I built the second erlking while already having the first in service. I got a message from boso that the research was completed after completing the paranid plot, which in this playthrough I did after getting the first erlking, and also the final plot to be finished out of the lot.
