The only place I found so far that sells class9 guns is "Deshima Station", a Bounty Hunter hideout in the Shugoku System (Southern Kusari). That's where I'm currently buying stuff for my modified eagle.

You have to be on good terms with the hunters, be at least level 28 I think and finally you'll need some serious cash, since each class9-gun will cost about 120k.

I'd be grateful for any other locations, too. Class10-weaponry can only be dropped, but I feel that there are even better buyable class9-ers out there. =)

For sheer power, go to the Outcast main bases... In Omicron systems, someone please supply the exact name... Kraken 2 is highly damaging but sucks energy like a class 10 gun. Corsairs in Omicron Gamma sell a neutron blaster that is more efficient but damages less. You must have nearly maxed out reputation and $120,000 to buy them.

Worm II is the best level 9 gun I've seen. You have to be on friendly terms with the Outcasts or you may get lucky and get them from outcast sabres you destroy.

You mean the Wyrmm II? Yeah thats a damn good gun but right now I have 2 Salamanca II's, 2 Nomad Energy blasters, and 2 Nomad Energy Cannons on my Sabre

The energy gauge never moves and I can wax any ship in the blink of an eye.

Anyone know where to get the sunblast Bs? I have 2 that I found but I would like to fill my bird up with them.

You can buy the Skyblast B's at Gas Miner Naha. I'm assuming that you meant SKYBlast B because they are the best 8.33 refire cannons I've found. Hope that helps. Cheers.

Thanks, I will check that out. Not to pleased with the mix `n match setup with anything and the nomad blasters or cannons. Throws my aim off. Hoik!

The Bounty Hunter class-9 guns aren't very good; they do the poorest damage in the class, and are also inefficient. I think the best class-9 gun to use in combination with class-10 guns is the Corsair Salamanca Mk 2, because the projectile speed is the same, making the targeting system accurate for all of your guns. And combining the Salamanca's with Nomad Blasters is the best combo, I think, because the refire rate is the same; and, if nothing else, it's just more aesthetically pleasing to have your shots all go out in regular volleys... and, of course, the combo does huge damage and you can shoot forever without running out of weapon energy.

I just equipped and faught with 4 Skyblast B C9s and 2 Nomad blasters and so far I think that has the best results. I've tried various combos with: Sallamanka C9, nobad Blaster and/or Cannons, Wyrm II C9s, various C10s (which all suck cause of the refire rate) and missles/mines/torpedos aside I get the best results with what I have now. My only complaint is that I will eventually run out of power. But I can usually mop up before that happens. Wish there was a C10 gun with a 8+ refire rate out there.

What's so important about refire rate? I guess if you like "hosing down" your target, it's fun. Multiply the damage by the refire rate to get the "damage output" of the weapon. And it's been said many times, it's a good idea not to mismatch projectile speeds, as you would be doing with Skyblast B and ANY class-10 gun, because your angled shots (not head-on) will likely result in the slower projectiles missing the target -- assuming you're using the targetting indicator, of course.

Here's a little question that might be a little on the clueless side (not to mention OT). I currently have the following load-out: 2 Tizona del Cids, 2 Nomad Blasters, and 2 ONYX cannons. All told they would do approximately 3600 hull damage and approximately 4200 shield damage (Tiz del Cid: 1200 shield each, and assuming 400 on nomads and 500 on onyx...not sure about those numbers yet though). Now here's my question: how does the computer handle all of the weapon's fire? Assuming that every beam from the initial volley hits that would pretty much kill anything in any system other than Rheinland and the Border Worlds. Since they all have the same speed they will all impact at the same time. Would the computer just say "Okay, too much firepower...shields are gone" and leave the hull intact or will it use whatever damage is leftover and roll that onto the hull damage? So far, in every encounter that I've had across the systems it has taken 5-6 barrages to kill off any ship.

Oh well, back OT: The Skyblast B's rely on a school of thought. Namely, "Spray-and-Pray" Sure, they do comparable damage per second to many of the class 10's that I've picked up...but that's if every shot hits. And, while I generally dislike the slower refire rate of the class 10's, the 4.00 of the nomad blaster is really nice. I recently replaced my trusty Skyblasts with the aforementioned blasters. So far I haven't been disappointed. Cheers.

where can you find the salamanca II's? i have been flying around omicron gamma and omega 41/11 and haven't found it. i have level 37 and maximum green with the corsairs, and i have bought their salamanca II TURRET but can't find their guns. i am in SP and have a titan btw (yeah i know in mp sabre is best yadda yadda yadda, but in sp the extra manuverability makes no difference anyway so i might as well take the extra shield and armor recharges; i wish i could get an eagle but i am in total red with the zoners bec i killed too many xenos .
