Zombies and Ultimate Weapons without rebel ships

[BBHood217]

I've been trying to emerge all the races in one galaxy, except for the monster races and ancients (though I accidentally emerged the Nexium because of an unintended Economic win, but they've been the only ones so far). After a lot of guerilla weapon deliveries and race resurrections, only four subraces are left to emerge: Ultimate Weapon, Genetic Soldier, Zombie, and Pirate. I know that civil wars will bring out the Fringe subraces, I hope to get lucky that a zombie outbreak happens or gets delivered to a Shadow planet, and I have no idea how to get pirates (I once had the Brunt in a pirate-infested sector, but nothing special ever happened to them).

Anyway in one sector, I got Ultimate Weapons out of civil wars on a few Fringe planets. But for some unknown reason, their associated rebel ships didn't spawn; there's no quest to deliver guerilla weapons to the UW rebels, so I was unable to break them out. And just now in the latest sector I'm playing, I finally got zombies on a Shadow planet. And again, no rebel ship spawned; no quest to bring guerilla weapons to the zombies. And no, their rebel ships weren't destroyed by monsters; I was right there when the outbreaks happened, and the rebel ships just didn't spawn at all.

This has to be a bug, right? I mean they're right there, but I can't do anything. I don't know what to do; I could keep playing, but I don't wanna miss out on those Zombies. I suppose I could always just hope to get them from race resurrections (especially the Pirate since I have no idea how to get them normally), but the odds of getting a wanted race have been getting smaller and smaller. I wonder how many sectors it'll take before I finally resurrect that last needed race.

I finally gave up and moved on. Any guerilla weapons I sold to the zombified Shadow planet had no effect, and nothing ever happened to the Shadow planet no matter how long I waited. Guess I'll have to settle for race resurrections now for the last remaining subraces (although the Genetic Soldiers do get their rebel ships, now if I could just get them to break out on a Fringe planet instead of a different race).

I'm also gonna finally get started on that new ship. I was hoping to emerge all the subraces beforehand, but I guess instead I'll have to hope to emerge those last subraces with that new ship. Who knows, maybe the rebel ships will actually appear for that character.

Did you manage to unlock all of the races? I've had no luck getting Fringe subraces, and have yet to get a couple others. Got Xenophobia, Cortex-Brunt hybrid, and Reaper today.

Still need Fringe subraces, Drakk subraces, Infection, and Asexual.

Unlocking new races, even though they're not all that different, is definitely one of the most exciting aspects of the game.

Speaking of the Infection, I think they have the same problem too. I started a sector with Scavengers suffering from an infection, but once again there are no rebel ships (and since it was the very start, there was no way that monsters would've destroyed them already) so I can't help the infected to break out.

Back to the race resurrection roulette, I guess. At least you can't resurrect regular race rebels, which I found out recently can actually emerge just like any other race.

Edit: My mistake, the infection still have rebel ships. I don't know why that one sector didn't have any, might be that the monsters somehow immediately destroyed the rebel ship. Anyway, it's still only the Zombie and Ultimate Weapon that lack rebel ships.

Also, I've learned that Barbarians are born out of mass insanity.
