Awesome video and thank you for the stealth shoutout! I never took it as far as you tested it. I just cleaned out the armory about 10 times and then kill crew and take the ship to sell and find another. Anything that saves the interior is probably why the capt locker stopped producing.
You don't need to clear everyone, just everyone between you and the armory. Works with any armory. When I board I typically do this before pushing the rest of the ship. (Short of the resting)
Really that's odd. Every Revelation I ran into had them. Keep trying until you run into one. You will find one in Serpentis in no time with all of the encounters there!
Yeah exactly it will work with all ships if you can leave a turret active. I also had a few circumstances where if I came back and I didn't spawn a VaRunn encounter that I couldn't dock the ship. I think its tricking the game to think that the ship was part of the encounter when I spawn back into Serpentis.
