A "Mysterious Vessel" will occasionally appear in the HUD. His appearance always causes a lot of excitement and joy in Tiny Empires 3000. When he appears, the "Onboard Entity" will ask you for a lot of of credits to trade for minerals and ore, but won't say what you will be getting in exchange. Definitely pay what he asks if you have the credits, as the Vessel is a bonus to the players. The Vessel can give you a boost in either ships or credits, if played properly. You only get the "Mysterious Vessel" after the rank of Trader, or in other words, you have at least 50 total ships.
On arrival of the "Mysterious Vessel" there are some steps. They are:
- 1st month = 1st notice, warning about the Mysterious Vessels approach.
- 2nd month = nothing
- 3rd month = 2nd notice, warning again of the Mysterious Vessel.
- 4th month = nothing
- 5th month = 3rd notice (+ amount of credits asked)
- 6th month = 4th notice and payment

WARNING
If you have FATIGUE when the Mysterious Vessel comes, be careful, after you pay him, you may zero out and not get any profits from fuel pellets! You may end up losing all your credits! Depending on which bonus you get or how bad your fatigue is, it is very risky!
I missed the reward message!
If you missed the message saying what you got from the MV, it can be figured out by working through the following.
Are you getting a ship buy/sell offer every turn? If you are it's Buy Low, Sell High or Surprises. The first two can be seen from the prices being proposed. If both prices are normal then you got Surprises. You may also get a random Buy Low or Sell High (or even both if you have Surprises); if this happens look at next turn's offer to see which figure has returned to normal.
Look on the Accounts tab. If the efficiency figure has jumped to something massively over 3300 you got fuel pellets. If the efficiency has increased by 100, that's what the MV just gave you. If your Red Tape total has increased, that's what you got.
When you get a buy/sell offer, the sell offer says 'might be worth something' - this indicates that you got One Ship Worth More. It typically takes around six sales to get the bonus.
If none of the above apply you got the Solenium from the MV.
Christmas
Santa makes multiple appearances over a two day period for Christmas. The Santa Vessel does not charge a fee. The appearances are spaced approximately 11 years apart and appear for all Guilds at the same time.
