MAS-Z and Antimatter

by alexburlton

Mission Image/Text

ESCorp has finalized the biggest antimatter reactor ever built. Each miner who can provide us with 4 antimatter nuclei will receive a permanent program that will upgrade their missiles to the new MAS-Z model. This model can instantly destroy any kind of conglomerate...

Mission Clear Text

Thank you, prisoner [name]. The MAS-Z missile's model has just been transferred to your envelope. From now on, there will be no type of conglomerate which you can't drill.

Details

How to unlock mission: Complete the mission "Drilling Ball: OX-Soldier"

How to complete mission: Collect the four antimatter nuclei, which are located at [-30][42], [30][61], [35][-28] and [18][-40]

Reward: Your missiles are upgraded to the MAS-Z model, which retains the power of the AR-57 but destroys any type of brick instantly.

Notes

The locations of the Antimatter Nuclei are only revealed to you in-game at certain landing sites. There are various ETs at different landing sites who tell you where the four are, however only a few of these have been logged. Landing is expensive (it costs a hydrogen capsule every time you land on a square), and also very hit-and-miss with most planets being very large. As if this wasn't enough, many of the ETs who have been logged are on planets outside the Karbonis Belt, and so for people who are planning to stick with the ESCorp this delays collecting the Antimatter Nuclei a LOT. All of these factors combined unforunately means that it's nearly impossible to find the Antimatter Nuclei without using a spoiler of some kind, as finding these people is almost as unlikely as finding the Nuclei themselves! For those who are interested, the known ETs are located at:

Balixt Surface [-10][-40]: Tells you that there is one at [35][-28]

Lycans Surface [-1][9]: Tells you that there is one at [35][-28]

Moltear Surface [-59][39]: Tells you that there is one at [30][61]

Khorlan Surface [179][-196]: Tells you that there is one at [30][61]

Volcer Surface [-298][-154]: Tells you that there is one at [30][61]

Samosa Surface [406][101]: Tells you that there is one at [18][-40]

Volcer Surface [-298][-146]: Tells you that there is one at [18][-40]

Douriv Surface [-82][-100]: Tells you that there is one at [-30][42]

It is probably worth trying to collect the Antimatter Nuclei gradually when you're on the way to places. One example of this would be to collect the Spacesuit from Cilorile, and then head to Balixt for the "Invasion" mission. On the way you could collect two of the antimatter nuclei without having to divert your course much at all.
