Changes: Specimen 8055

Revision as of 15:26, 23 March 2020

General information:

==

Has about 500k shield and hull HP and about 1.5k dps.
During it's dps and high amount of HP, it can be a dangerous for early and midgame ships.
It's also known as Testobject 8055 ==

Finding Spicemen 8055:

To find Specimen, you need to search for a hidden mass sector ( usually in the Naonite regions ) with a asteroid pattern pointing to a big asteroid in the middle. When you come close enough, you can investigate that asteroid and it will give you coordinates. When you jump to these sectors ( they are marked as hidden mass sectors ) you will likely find a system with the same content as the previous. Now you just huntdown these system. You might jump into a system with multiple asteroids given different coordinates each, so you might have to search around a bit.

Fight:

Because it's shields are unvulnerable, you first need to destroy the 4 asteroids which are connected by a light beam to it. During the high amount of HP of those asteroids, make sure you have enough HP yourself. When you destroy one, the boss's shields lose 25% of their initial HP. After you destroyed all 4, the boss behaves like a normal ship but with a lot more HP compared to the usual ships in the Naonite regions.

Drops:

==

More drops than a regular ship, e.g. pirates, usually 1-2 exotic upgrades, a few exceptional and some more. There's a chance of getting legendary items.
Because he's doing research about unvulnerable shields, most of the upgrades he drops are shield boosters. ==

-Upon jumping into a sector where Specimen 8055 is, he'll be surrounded by asteroid fields, and have four energy beams piercing his ship. He'll hail you, and proceed to tell you that his shields are invincible, and that you turn away immediately. If you refuse, the fight will start.
-=== Mechanics ===
+====''Drops:''====
+==
-As he mentioned, his shields are invulnerable. However, if you trace where the four energy beams are originating from, there will be four large-sized asteroids spaced at 90-degree increments around him. You must destroy these asteroids, and as you do, his shields will suffer 25% damage for each asteroid destroyed. His movement also seems to be bound to these energy beams, as he cannot move freely around the area. This makes him easy to dodge and avoid damage by simply hiding behind other asteroids while you destroy the four that are keeping his shields raised.
+*More drops than a regular ship, e.g. pirates, usually 1-2 exotic upgrades, a few exceptional and some more. There's a chance of getting legendary items.
-== Drops ==
+*Because he's doing research about unvulnerable shields, most of the upgrades he drops are shield boosters. ==
-Being a boss, he does have enhanced drops compared to normal ships, pirates, or head hunters. Notably, he drops very many Exceptional and Exotic grade shield boosters, no doubt a nod to his seemingly invulnerable shields.

-== Notes ==
-* According to reddit user u/leezurdweezurd - One can simply ram him to death if they have collision damage enabled, and save themselves 15+ minutes of time, assuming they have a sufficiently massive/outfitted ship
