Sunslayer torpedo launcher

Where can I find this mofo of a launcher? I can find the torpedoes but no launcher! The guide doesn't have it either.

EDIT: I just ran the search. You gotta be kidding me, you need like, a sunslayer to get to it D:

You can only get it at Brushal Base in the Frankfurt System, go from the stigma-13 to Mainz trade lane, exit the lane half way, and go thru the asteroid field, there should be some weapons platofrms, they are near a base where you get the launcher

i still do not understand why people try to use those torpedos... have you people look at the cost of ammo? i rather keep hammering the target with the energy weapons 'till it's blown away. i try saving money for a better ship or better weapons instead of shooting the money thru the torpedoes.

That's absolutely correct. The Sunslayer becomes pretty much useless by the time you can get it. Most people don't use it after the SP missions. A skilled pilot can use torpedos in a fighter engagement, but at that point, Starkillers are more than enough to do the job.

at that point people dont really care about money, they juist have fun. the bigger the bang, the bigger the fun.

Either that or they lack the hardpoints to mount C9/C10 weapons, and would rather flop around in something less uber.

Get The Next Generation it has much stronger torps than sunslayer.

You expected a terrorist, then. You got one!

Nice job smooth flame, couldnt have said it better myself. And besiges, torpedoes can be good in Pvp just wait until ur doing the jousting thing, then fire ur missles and torpedoes, they run right into em!

When all else fails, tell them you want world peace.

Hey guys, the poor guy only ask for Sunslayertorpedo launcher from original game!
But I agree, torpedos stink even if you play PVP. With Adv. CounterMeasures they don't have a chance!
Of course, I play some mods were torpedos are good enough, but those are not torpedos. They are missile to mount in the place of a torpedo!
The torpedos are slow, that's why they are not good to hit fast moving target.
When the Moders have change the speed and the turnrate, they basicaly change it into a missile.
I never use them, I prefer a good cruise distruptor.
BTW. try Gest For Fun Mod v.3 if you want good weapons(including torpedos) ;-)

You have a point, they are horrible against counters. But picture to shihps joust pvping eagle 1 launches torpedoes, guns, and missles, eagle 2 doesnt, cuz he thinks there clumsy. He doesnt have reflexes to launch counters! and if he does? The counters are behind him! even if hed try to pull up or down from the counters so they did there job, hed slam right into eagle one. Torpedoes are easy to dodge and be hit with counters, but they can be deadly in jousting. Not to mention they make a really cool sound.

I happen to love torps. I add a heat seaker to it, more speed, and it becomes fire and forget wep that homes in on a ship. I always use them in Open Sp game

Post Sun Aug 13, 2006 6:27 am

OK Finalday, but it's a modification.
Torpedos are slow and easy to dodge! If you change that it's more like a missile to me. Doesn't she?!!!

Just hide your torpedoes into the projectiles/fire of your guns and/or turrets.

Nevermind, torps suck, even against static targets, since they don't do any more damage than a random burst fire of your guns.

like IAR80 said, he asks for where to get the ruddy torpedo, and he gets the answer along with a debate bigger than puala abduel VS Simon Cowel, which tottaly trumps Omarosa VS Donald Trump. Which 'Trumps' my inner voices debating wether to get the chocolate eclair or the ice cream, which trumps the Bush VS Kerry 04 election. Dang that was horrid seeing Kerry try to run, the only good thing about him would being president would be laughing at him screw america up.
