Missing Ship Components in STF Mobile for iPhone?

[starscream]

Hi everybody!



I'm a new player of STF, and first of all I'd like to congratulate the whole Trese Brothers' team for such an excellent and outstanding game! Cheers!!! 


However, after having sifted through the STF online wiki, I've found something apparently quite strange about the Ship Components' detailed list posted therein.



According to such web-page, it should be somehow possible to find the following special Ship components:

1. Javat Hauler Hold (the largest possible Cargo Hold, with a Cargo Capacity of 65)

2. Barracks 8 (accommodate for 49 crews)

3. Reinforced Barracks 8 (same as item #2 above, but providing some bonus to ship’s armor)



Unfortunately, I’ve not been able to fine the first one even when docked at Javat Prime Starport (Economy 26, Starport 10, Military 8, IIRC) where I 'd have bet to get it, nor have I been able to find either Barrack 8 nor Reinforced Barrack 8 anywhere in the Map Seed I’m currently playing my first few play-thru at Basic Difficulty.



What am I missing so far about these three “quantum-ghost” Ship Components? Are they available in the PC game’s version only or are they available in the corresponding mobile game version too? Are they available in Windows’ or Android’s versions only? Are they available through all game platforms, but only from a given difficulty Level and higher? Have they to be unlocked via some kind of “secret” achievement?



Moreover, with reference to the two Level 8 Barracks only, why should they supposed to be level 8 when the next highest ones (used in the largest available Capital Ships, and accommodating for 42 crews) are only Level 6?



Thanks very much for any replies - and keep going!

OK, good to know.  
Will they ever be added to the iOS build too?

starscream - generally, iOS runs a little behind Android in its update pace. The Javat Hauler Hold is in version 2.5.63, just check your main menu to see if that matches.

Also, you can use "Ignore Mins" and "Any Faction" when replacing components to see all the components in the game.

We keep the game in sync as best as we can across the platforms. All content that comes to Steam makes it to Android and then iOS a little later. Usually the lag is a few days to a week.

Hi fallen,

Yesterday evening I finally checked my iOS version out and found that it's indeed the 2.5.63 build you told me about.
So I immediately flew my top-notch-upgraded Cautela Titan to Javat Prime and finally managed to find the previously missing Hauler Hold!
Cheers!!!

Many thanks again so much for your outstanding support, I've appreciated it very much!

There is a brief lag on the iOS platform, while Apple does a Review of the update. Once it is approved by Apple, you need to get the update from iTunes.

Most iOS players are on the same version as Steam most of the time. Android updates on the same schedule (nearly immediate) however, there is no approval by Google.

Thanks!
