Comet Shop

Information
The Comet Shop is a mysterious shop operated from the inside of a comet. When a galaxy is generated, a random unmarked sector is chosen as its position. This comet is visible from anywhere in the galaxy, even on planets, although only several pixels of it at times. Warping closer makes the comet more visible, until you are able to jump to its sector. One trick to find the shop quickly is to use the warp station network to reach each quadrant of the galaxy. A ship must be aligned to the comet for the sector to appear.

Although the sector is called comet on both the jump computer and pilot navigation, there is an exploit to gets its identity and position. A person who is not the captain can sit in the captain's chair to get the system name. Then you can input this number into the systems computer to keep track of its location.

The Shop
Upon teleporting inside the comet crew members will be met with a security box through which they can speak to the shop keeper. While the shop keeper is surprised the crew found their shop without invite they are willing to let the crew enter and shop should they preform a small favor. The shop keeper wishes to get rid of a supposedly "cursed" Lost Colony Data Fragment and should the crew accept it they will be welcomed into the shop.

The shop itself is a single room built around a pillar of the comet messy with crates and wares. The shop keeper can be found to the left of the entrance at a counter. To the right on top of a crate one can find a +6 phase pistol and an issue of Galactic Science. Along the back wall logos of the W.D. Corporation, Alliance of Gentlemen, and Fluffy Biscuit Company as well as a Colonial Union banner. Other interesting items can be seen here including a deactivated Hub Drone, several crates of biscuits, and a strange floating crystal light.

The shop is most notable for selling three processors that increase the maximum level you can upgrade components and items to. Effectively you must weigh the costs of the cursed fragment with the bonuses your ship can receive with these upgrades.
