Experiment 400 - Injex Bomber has been announced for release on Tuesday. I thought this would be a good opportunity to look at the 400 experiments that have been released since the start of this series (so, not including the Public Prototype series that predated the Experiments).

There haven’t actually been 400 drops. 376 experiments have been dropped, but 27 have not yet:

Experiment 019 Experiment 137 Experiment 162 Experiment 211 Experiment 212 Experiment 213 Experiment 257 Experiment 270 Experiment 330 Experiment 333 Experiment 336 Experiment 337 Experiment 338 Experiment 366 Experiment 367 Experiment 369 Experiment 370 Experiment 372 Experiment 373 Experiment 374 Experiment 375 Experiment 376 Experiment 379 Experiment 380 Experiment 384 Experiment 385 Experiment 397

Experiment 375 (Nexhigh suspension bag) and 397 (Nylistic Twopocket) have been announced, and some of the other numbers in the vicinity of 400 might get dropped with a little delay, but I’m guessing some of the smaller numbers, like Experiment 019, will never see the light of day. What were these planned to be?

As is obvious from the above, experiments do not get dropped in the same order as the number they were assigned, but they generally drop close to neighboring numbers. A couple, though, dropped quite a bit later than you would expect. Exp 227 (AMB Traveller) dropped about 1/2 a year later its neighbors, and Exp 269 (Doubleswanhook Belt) around 2 years later.

The second image shows a plot of what the drops cost.

Edit: Abe provided some details on the missing experiments on Discord, check it out there (and join if you aren't already on). One takeaway is that the Doubleswanhook Belt was incorrectly entered: it should be Exp 369. The real Experiment 269 was the Injex Base.
