Note: If you want to try and discover items without any help, do not read below as I will try to give hints to help people find other items.

Help for discovering more items:
Main Requirements :
Ancient Knowledge - For items, the requirement ranges from 250-2000. Some missions will require less
Experience - For items, the requirement ranges from 15k to 300k
Govt Help - For items (not ship size) the requirement ranges from 0 to 500
Kills - No more than 15 kills are required to see special items

Most of the remaining undiscovered gadgets require Ancient Race Knowledge.

Requirements sometimes reflect what the gadget helps. For example, to get the excavate gadget you must excavate until you reach 300 Govt Help points, or for the increased trade profit, you need a lot of credits in the bank to get the gadget.

Ok, I have been running around like crazy looking for new gadgets and ships and weapons since i hit 300k experience and have been unable to find anything. There are several shops including the shady and ethereal shops that wont let me trade there. I have tried looking at every gadget shop, bar, HQ, and every other type of shop in order to find anything and have looked at them in various states of disrepair. Still no luck.
The gadgets that i have found are the shield regen, improved accuracy, escape home, phase shifting weapons, Hades missle system, and excavate bonus. All of the basic ones.
I have a theory that the ethereal shops give ships/weapons based on your alien knowledge which is extremely hard to get.
if you could help give some hints that would be great.
As of this post i have 379129 exp, 493 alignment and am Creotni.

sounds like you're lacking ancient knowledge, and kills. And azool said those are the basic ways. I know that one of the gadgets I have had nothing to do with any of those ways.

i also have 3 kills and a 24k past knowledge. my ancient knowledge sucks cause i have been unlucky. I can demise that about half of what is left comes from ancient knowledge. but what about the rest of it?

[Baalzamon]

azool's a sneaky one. He has some wacky crazy ideas up his sleeve...to be honest, I wouldn't be surprised that you have to have a specific good on your ship to get an item or something (Note:This is just suspicion, i don't know this for a fact)

He also said that those are some ideas to help. That doesnt mean that every gadget requires something from one of those categories. You need to think out of the box as well.

There is also the concept of missions. How many missions have you succesfully completed?

[Venganza]

ok, can you give me hints on how to finding missions? I have stopped at every bar i could find.

I have no idea how you get one (cause I haven't even got one), however I have had an alliance mate get a mission to kill 2 wanted criminal NPCs.

ive gotten a mission from a bar once, stating to go to salvene pub, and you have to do certain tasks

[Azool]

Most missions are not in yet. But they work somewhat like gadgets, you need to meet certain requirements and be in the right place at the right time.
