    Hey all,

    I just started a new vanilla game and found a Mineral Synth Lab POI during my early-game travels. While exploring it, I was rather chuffed to find a Very Rare alien container. What amazing loot did I obtain from this? Four Optical Fibre.

    Should such containers ever contain something so mundane or is this a loot table bug for this POI? I feel somewhat ripped off! lol.

    Edit: I found various other loot containers in this POI and they appeared to yield regular decent loot for the tier of container. I guess this one "Very Rare" container was an anomaly.

    The problem with that container is that whoever built that poi left some predefined loot in some specific containers
    Not sure if an oversight or just to piss off peeps

    I did noticed that this appears to be a tweaked version of an older POI, so perhaps a mistake was made during the edit.

    The POI will be reviewed for 1.8 but do not expect to run in Rare or Ultra Rare Alien Containers in such easy POI anymore (in the future) ;)

    To me that is one of the flaws of this potential incredible game: reward are not so good and when they are possibly you'll already have everything you need or everything EPIC.

    Of course it's my opinion but I definitely agree with the thread point.

    i want to know why its a admin core for the solo missions.... or really any of them in the single player...... and yes change the containers to a regular one if you are determining loot for the missions and story... why use a good container

    Mission POIs need to be admin core most of the time to not break the mission.

    still the question as to why, and why does putting in a player core have to change NPC stuff also... It didn't used to stop using of the GIN and traders in a station but it does now. I liked having my own spiders bots and stuff spawn in when playing, it adds a measure of life and realism into the game. It was better than just a one guy faction with nothing other than myself and turrets operating

    Without an admin core players can break the mission.
