I have a mission that I would like to do that requires viruses.

One of the very first NPC's I had was a common Dark Speeder lvl 30ish (?) I think that said it sometimes carried virsuses. I did not get any unfortunately, and it was shortly after when I got the mission.

If anyone runs across something that carries viruses, or knows where else one can obtain them, please let me know.

If it is an NPC, please let me know the name and level so that I can be on the lookout for it.

I think you want the engineered virus for the Biological Warfare mission. I've only gotten it from artifact shipments and even then, I've only gotten 3 of them so far.

Yep, I get em from arti shipments. You CAN buy them for Galaxy Points, but where's the fun in that?

Dark Scrap Carrier: Rare: Terraforming Device

Theres also a mission now that rewards them. but yes saving up artifact points is your best bet.

yup, thanks.

Do you recall which mission that is?

Temporal Manipulation, and No I do not know the level at which it becomes available.

OK, thanks. Haven't seen that one yet...

Great! I finally get a rare ... T.O Cruiser on my list... but its too high for me....

... just my luck!

Anybody know what it drops?

They probably drop those shield recharges (like energy relays but for shield).
What was your scan and what's their rank? I never seen them, perhaps I have too little scan

my scan was only 68 when it popped up.

Level 40 shields 500 hull 100 att 350 def 180

i hit it for 10, and it nailed me for 58 damage... theni ran out of energy

Try using an artifact to reduce the enemies attack, the enemy has quite a high attack

my artifacts suck... i keep getting little piddly stuff and planetary ones...

although i did get a trap once

even though i wait until over 5k AP

i knew it would be a big hit... i was testing the waters so to speak. I figured at that rate, it would take me 60 attacks to subdue it... no way i could do that in the time frame....

Same here. Once I waited till it was over 10k, instantly got a subspace seeker and a warp gate. All the waiting for nothing as had too many warp gates to start off with.
At lower points, I tend to get tons of EMP, disarming bombs and tachyon cylinders

I've never had any of those... I was really excited about level 8 or something... I got a quantum flare...

First rare NPC, terraforming device.

I like to think I'm doin pretty good:

Battles: 5054
Player Kills: 484
Non-Player Kills: 146

I'm sitting on about a dozen Stryll Seeker artifacts, probably 3 rescued prisoners, and at least two thousand + research points, and a Stryll Hunt Sensor (10size, +50 scan)

The Dark Ring is one of several epicenters where the Dark Smugglers guild pool their resources. The Ring contains many defensive countermeasures and can easily guard itself from a large scale attack.
