Antimatter may be discovered on ship purchases. The amount discovered is related to the number of completed expeditions and any artefact multipliers in effect.
Antimatter may be discovered on ship purchases at 50 total ships or above (reported at 28 personal, 50 total). The amount discovered is initially 10 grams, and will increase each time an expedition is completed, according to the level of that expedition.


The first requirement is to purchase an antimatter-capable engine. This offer shows up after you have collected 40 g of antimatter.

Periodically an offer to undertake an antimatter mission will appear. The expedition will have a fixed cost, which is a percentage of the credit balance. Missions may either be attempted at the next level to the current artefact or lower levels if there is not enough antimatter collected. It is not essential to progress incrementally through the levels, eg missions could be done in the sequence 3, 2, 2, 4 however only one mission is offered each time determined by the current antimatter total.

When the expedition returns the properties of the artefact can be reviewed (some will be positive, some negative) and a decision taken whether to install the artefact or not. If it is declined 50% of the antimatter spent is returned.
When the expedition returns the properties of the artefact can be reviewed (some will be positive, some negative) and a decision taken whether to install the artefact or not. If it is declined, 50% of the antimatter spent is returned.  The credits spent to finance the mission are not returned.


While an artefact is installed an opportunity to remove it early will be offered at every multiple of 100 months remaining. Some antimatter will be refunded however the amount is believed to decay relative to the amount the artefact has been used.

It is not clear yet whether artefacts are predetermined or their properties are dynamically assigned following some algorithm intended to balance the positives and negatives. The latter seems likely.

After each expedition, the future amounts of antimatter, incrementally increases per the level, as noted in the table below.

After each expedition the amount of antimatter found increases by an amount determined by the expedition level.
|600 g
 
The increases are as noted in the table below however there may be some additional algorithm in play here that's not fully understood yet (not least since there is an initial amount of antimatter being found before trying the very first expedition). It is suspected that there may be a bonus as well as an increase on first completing a new level expedition.

Level 10 appears to be the maximum. Once a Level 10 mission has been completed the new mission dialogue offers Level 10 again.

'''Watch out particularly for V10 (Ejected from guild at census) and B1 (Must sabotage). Being ejected from a guild can make getting back difficult, especially if the former person above is on rarely or has been demoted as a result and the ejected person can no longer fit back underneath. Many guilds have a policy of not sabotaging and as a result are mostly not sabotaged either - this can cause tensions if a forced sabotage occurs.'''


While it is suspected that artefacts properties are generated by algorithm each time and therefore infinitely variable those recorded so far are shown below to aid in confirming or disproving the theory.

Antimatter within TE3000 was announced on 29th March 2023 in this group notice

"I have been hearing reports of people encountering something new upon purchasing ships. My own science advisors have been hearing whispers about this for some time, and I'm excited (if a bit ambivalent) about what it can mean for the future of our sector of the galaxy. At any rate, I wish you all the best of luck in exploring this new development."

Please contact Andi Sao with additions for this page if you're not able to edit the page yourself.

Antimatter may be discovered on ship purchases at 50 total ships or above (reported at 28 personal, 50 total). The amount discovered is initially 10 grams, and will increase each time an expedition is completed, according to the level of that expedition.

The first requirement is to purchase an antimatter-capable engine. This offer shows up after you have collected 40 g of antimatter.

Antimatter status is shown as extra pages in the Accts tab of the HUD.

Periodically, an offer to undertake an antimatter mission will appear. The expedition will have a fixed cost, which is a percentage of the credit balance, according to the level of the expedition. Missions may either be attempted at the next level to the current artefact or lower levels, if there is not enough antimatter collected. It is not essential to progress incrementally through the levels, eg missions could be done in the sequence 3, 2, 2, 4 however only one mission is offered each time determined by the current antimatter total.

The duration of the mission will be three months plus (2 * expedition level) months. A notification message will appear on the hud on the turn before the expedition returns.

When the expedition returns the properties of the artefact can be reviewed (some will be positive, some negative) and a decision taken whether to install the artefact or not. If it is declined, 50% of the antimatter spent is returned. The credits spent to finance the mission are not returned.

While an artefact is installed, an opportunity to remove it early will be offered at every multiple of 100 months remaining. Some antimatter will be refunded however the amount appears to decay relative to the amount the artefact has been used.

The lifetime of an artefact appears to be 350 months plus (level * 150) months.

It is not clear yet whether artefacts are predetermined or their properties are dynamically assigned following some algorithm intended to balance the positives and negatives. The latter seems likely.

After each expedition, the future amounts of antimatter, incrementally increases per the level, as noted in the table below.

Expedition Levels
Level Antimatter % of Total Credits Duration (months) Increase to Antimatter Finds
1 100 5% 5 10 g
2 200 5% 7 20 g
3 400 10% 9 40 g
4 2000 10% 11 80 g
5 10000 10% 13 150 g
6 50,000 10% 15 300 g
7 250,000 20% 17 600 g
8 1,500,000 20% 19 1200 g
9 6,000,000 20% 21 2500 g
10 30,000,000 20% 23 5000 g


Level 10 appears to be the maximum. Once a Level 10 mission has been completed the new mission dialogue offers Level 10 again.

Sabotage B1 Negative Must sabotage
B2 Positive Immune to sabotage

Watch out particularly for V10 (Ejected from guild at census) and B1 (Must sabotage). Being ejected from a guild can make getting back difficult, especially if the former person above is on rarely or has been demoted as a result and the ejected person can no longer fit back underneath. Many guilds have a policy of not sabotaging and as a result are mostly not sabotaged either - this can cause tensions if a forced sabotage occurs.

While it is suspected that artefacts properties are generated by algorithm each time and therefore infinitely variable those recorded so far are shown below to aid in confirming or disproving the theory.
