Capital ship weapons?

Fri Jul 11, 2003 7:29 pm by Ether Dragon

Is there anywhere that you can buy additional weapons for capital ships? I'm not talking about the standard weapons that can be mounted on any ship, but the huge guns and turrets made specifically for capital ships. You don't have to give spoilers as to their location, but I'd like to know that they do exist for purchase. Also, do they have obvious names like, "gunboat secondary turret," and "battleship main gun," or are they more ambiguous titles like "terminator" and "punisher?"

Thanks for your help.

They are not avilable for sale due to exploitation. People like to buy cap weapons and put them on little ships which screw it up. I know it sucks but we are forced to punish everyone before of the small few who cheat and exploit.

What if you made the CAP weapons level 11, and the specific hardpoints on the ships level 11 as well. That would take care of the cheaters, wouldn't it?

Nope it doesnt work that way. Since lv 11 isnt a valid game level if you speficy it as such then you could equip it anywhere. We haven't figured how to add extra levels to equipment requirements yet.

Any chance that you could alter the capital ships so they come equipped with the same armament as the NPC version? The cap ships just don't have the same menace when their guns are nigh invisible do to the difference in scale.
