Monkey Island.

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

Monkey Island.

Ok,
Now I went to the Unknown System... You know the one that you go to from the Gamma system... Anyways I get out there with a buddy of mine, and to our surprise we find two planets. We were both completely stoked. So we dock on the Robot Planet first (whatever it's called) and we find that you cannot buy anything there. We were quite bummed, so we decided to check out the other planet. Once on the planet we found that it was inhabited by some sort of Monkeys. Which was quite funny, anyways we found that you could not buy there either. I was pissed, so we went to look for another planet to dock at, and found nothing. We even went all of the way to the far "sun" it's quite funny, its actually not a sun at all, its just a very large, very bright picture =/. So we started back (all 125k) to the Monkey Planet, and he had to leave so I decided to figure out how I could make myself able to buy there without cheating (because cheating in my opinion is quite lame). And I found out that the Monkey planet was under the control of Samura Industries. So I flew out to Sigma-17 (the closest Samura base) and I began to do missions for them. After i was allies with them I flew all of the way back to the Unknown System, specifically Planet Primus aka the monkey planet. And proceeded to buy weapons or anything, and I could not. I was quite pissed at this point, so I went to find info.
If there is anyone out there that has any help for me, in buying at either of these planets I would really appreciate it.
Thank you.

It is some what disappointing that you cannot do anything on the planets other than to admire the art work put into those... apes. However, what would you like to buy on these planets anyway? Bananas?

It's just an easteregg... don't expect it to fill any real purpose.

Even if you do increase your rep with the apes, you wouldn't suddenly be able to buy stuff from them; the game doesn't work like that. You always see what they have available, but some items cannot be purchased if you aren't on good enough terms with them; and they've got squat. The most you can do is get the apes to repair ship damage. The robot planet seems to offer repairs, but it won't actually perform them.

Anybody else remember this game Tyrian where you could get this carrot-shaped ship that fired explosive bananas?

Ahh, one should never count out monkey weaponry. Lets not forget the Planet Primus Mk3 Mod2 Poopflinger. One of the greatest stand-off weapons ever created. Not even the nomads will mess with a ship armed with one of these bad boys.
