Yeah, the Tizona del Cid cannons. They can be found on Crete or the Tripoli shipyards. I believe they cost about 120k each. Right now my load out on my Eagle would be 2 of the following: Tizona del Cid, Nomad Blaster, and ONYX. The class 10 turret that I have mounted is the Skyblast B (I can't remember the exact stats but it was close to 260 hull, 140 shield and 8.33 refire). As far as I know, there are no class 10 turrets. The Skyblast B can be found on Gas Miner Naha in sigma-13 (it's a GMG base so better get friendly with them).

There are alot of wrecks floating around that drop lvl 10 weapons. Check for red crosses on your map.

sabre weapon error?

Yeah thanks a lot, I have found loads of the lvl 10 weapons, just wanted those lvl 9 ones....

btw, I may just be blind, but they DON'T sell them on Crete.... will look into the tripoli shipyard though....

and try and get that turret. once again, thanks.

yeah I think the red x of doom is a sabre weapon error ...

Yes they do sell them
Scroll down their weapon menu and it's right there at the bottom (grey). Try to click it and your comp says something like "we dont know you well enough to sell you our best weapons"
So (for example) go and kick some Hessian ass until you are friendly enough with Corsairs...or find someone who you can pay some cash and buy your popularity.

??? ON CRETE???

nah man, I can't see it. I've scrolled down. I've got them at Tripoli anyway

Hi,

i was wondering, did anybody ever got nomad "lasers". I know from a guy that he once found two during SP anwd that they do 1.4k damage. Ive been flying around in the unknown systems for 12 hours chasing nomads but the only ones ive got were blasters and cannons

This question has already been asked in the Spoiler section. Click here to read the thread. Hope the link works. Cheers.

By the way, if you don't want to read the thread the short answer is no you cannot get the nomad lasers in MP.

Skyblast B is the best class 9 weapon, I even prefer it to the class 10s.

The xxx Cid is a shield damaging gun. Not a lot of good at this level.

"The xxx Cid is a shield damaging gun. Not a lot of good at this level."

Well, Tizona's are probably what get me the most kills (particularly against the CPU). This is mainly because most of your guns do their highest lvl of damage against an unshielded ship. Now, 2 Tizona's are going to bring down most shields in 2 or 4 volleys (4800-9600). And, depending on the rest of your loadout, once the shields are down the ship will shortly be annihilated. Not to mention the psychological effect of the Tizona's in pvp. If you're in the heat of a dogfight and don't have time to scan your opponent then hearing 'shields failed' in the opening blasts usually ups my pulse. Anyways, their usefulness is entirely dependent on how ppl use them and whether or not they care about the brute armor damage value of their weapons. A weapon's value, like beauty, is all in the eye of the beholder. Cheers.

Well,

Didn't find the del cid turret... does it exist in multiplayer or sp only ?

I haven't seen a Tizona del Cid turret, but the Corsairs do have other pulse turrets of lesser class.

I don't use pulse weapons again AI ships... after the shields are down, they're a waste, because the AI shields don't really repair their shields (regen of 1, never use batteries), so it's a LOT of waste. And against unshielded larger targets, it's a TOTAL waste. However, against MP players, I think they can be used to great effect.
