For the science mission, asking for a mirror is very handy.

Heh. First time, I decided to try something generic. Wishing for Shields got me a potted plant or something.

Second time, on the advice here, I tried asking for Hyperdrive, and got a Six Finned Bloater. Serves me right.

You won't get the hyperdrive [or any other unique item] if one already exists on the map...

I typically ask for the hyperdrive anyway, because even if I don't get it, I now *know* it's out there on the map....

I'd like to suggest a change for the patch--

If you type in something that exists elsewhere on the map, have him say something like, "An excellent choice, but I don't have one of those."

The current feedback is ambiguous, in a frustrating, annoying way. "Did I type it wrong or did he really not have the item I wanted?"

One neat trick is that you can ask for items you can't normally find. My favorites are "Nova Cannon" and "Lava Pod Launcher" since they aren't on the map, you can always get them.

Those are very clever tricks, MagicPants.

I had rememered the rule backwards and wasn't getting much out of my baubles lately. I thought it would only work if the unique thing did exist. Is Temporal Flux Shield unique? I didn't seem to be able to get it. I think I'll try Nova Cannon next time!

Lava Pod Launcher doesnt work for me, shoulda wished for the Nova Cannon, since that always works...

Edit: The non-findable items that you can wish for appears to be only the Nova Cannon, Graviton Disintegrator, and Mass Driver. The first two being the weapons of the Yellow Kawangi, and the third being found on the derelicts.

"Lava Pod Launcher doesnt work for me, shoulda wished for the Nova Cannon, since that always works..."

I like to wish for the "Cobalt Torpedo" ...the awesome longrange torpedo from the Domociles(sp).. But since I upgraded to WW 1.11 it doesn't allow it anymore.

Never tried the Nova Cannon or the Lava Pod...
