Bountiful Vista

Bountiful Vista is a space station that can be bought in the game.

Tip: There is no mission in the Mission Log for this, so when you hear the in-game radio talk about it, head over to the station in the Eureka system to start the process of acquiring it.

How to acquire
When you make your way to Bountiful Vista go talk to Spanner the robot that is in charge of the station. He will try to sell the station to you for the low price of 250,000 credits. Refuse the offer. He will then make a counter-offer of 50,000 credits.

Once the station has been acquired talk to Spanner again. He will give you missions to add bays to the station, similar to those found at other stations throughout the galaxy. These missions must be completed sequentially. Currently, there is no option to prioritize the order in which bays are added to the station. It is sometimes necessary to travel 2-3 systems away before the next mission will be offered via comms.

Here (Bountiful Vista Questline) you'll find detailed information on the missions themselves to further unlock all aspects of Bountiful Vista.

Mission Board
When the first mission from Spanner is completed, the Mission board on Bountiful Vista will unlock. All missions on the board give you 20% more reward.

Equipment Bay
When the second mission from Spanner is complete you will unlock the Equipment Bay. This consists out of multiple parts:

(A1) "Leeds" where you have to go to Manatchie station (in Mississippi) -> (A2) "Watchful eye" Escort Freighters through Taggart.

(B) "By the Bay" requires 4 tons of Steel and 4 tons of Components to complete. The closest stations to find what you need are: Iola Refinery (in Kansas) and Port Ozark (in Missouri).

The Equipment Bay will offer special weapons that cannot be acquired elsewhere. These weapons take the form of augmented capacity missile/torpedo launchers.

Bar
When the third mission from Spanner is complete you will unlock the Bar. It will passively create revenue for you while you play.

To open the bar you will need to source 10 cases of Greel Whiskey and 30,000 credits for this. The 30,000 credits are needed to recruit a bartender in Velos Casino (in Discouragement). It should be noted that Spanner will take the 10 cases of whiskey even in 5-case batches at a time, should you be short on cargo space or should you have trouble finding them all at once. Greel Whiskey can most easily be found in the Kansas system, particularly at the Witchita Distillery. Later, after the Ship Bay is opened, Spanner will send you to find a Slots machine, to play Dice poker, then to buy or steal a Pool table and finally to steal a StarVenger machine; all of these unlock their respective minigames on the station.

Ship Bay
When the fourth mission from Spanner is completed you will have access to a Ship Bay with special ships on offer. You will unlock the Blood Eagle, the Dingo, the Sequoia and the Beluga. You will need to source 10 tons of Robot Modules and 50,000 credits. Robot Modules are available at the Joplin station in the Missouri system. As with the Greel Whiskey for the bar, the 10 Robot Modules can be delivered in batches of 5 modules at a time.

Bar Extensions
Afterwards you'll get a series of quests to expand the services (adding Minigame) that your bar has to offer.

* Roll the Bones -> Dice Poker

* Slotted In -> Slots

* Rack 'Em -> 8-ball

* All the Rage -> StarVenger
