Mouting the Damn Nomad weapons

Mon Mar 24, 2003 5:27 pm by atrox

%¤/##¤"&"¤# This game is getting rather tiresome.

I've been reading all about the weapons that can be dropped from wrecks or nomad fighetrs. And yes, curtenly they do drop stuff, useless piece of crap that doesn't mount probely.

I bought a Titan, went to omicron gamma, found 2 Guardian weapons. They mount below the Torpedos and the Countermesures etc. They do get the little grey thingy that indicates the weapon is mounted and in use, but they dont shoot and they bloody well do dissapear when I die (which of course I do because I only have 2 sucky guns and the radiation in some places can be more than annoying). The same happends with the stuff the nomads dropp, and the stuff @ omega 11 in the Bouty hunter ship. The nomads will continue to be there, so loosing those weapons doesn't really matter. But it's unbeliably annoying that the Guardians got lost because the nice wreck doesn't drop more.

I dont know what the heck I missed, but it's pissing me of royaly.

(Check these screenshots for reference, posten in another thread.

The first screen displays where the weapons land when I get them, but with the grey "mounted" icon on them. The second shows HOW IT SHOULD be, mounted in the gun/missile slots.

And no, my slots are not full, 4 empty suckers that wont fill.

help, please.

Btw, I'm not curtain the "Class 10" was on the weapons I got, as they are in the screenshots. Could this be the reason, and whats the solution?

Else, is there anywhere to buy decent weapons?
Though I did waste like 200k on just repairing the damn ship trying to get these weapons to work, loosing cash like crazy.

oh, I'm playing in MP btw. on a friends server.

1. go to a base and visit the equipment dealer.
2. sell 2 weapons so you have 2 free class 10 slots
3. select the new (class 10) weapon
4. click that tiny "mount" icon at the left of your weapon.
5. the selected weapon is mounted into the empty class 10 slot.
6. don't worry, took me ages to find out how to mount a weapon without selling and buying it back from the dealer

oh, so you can click the bloody mount thingy..

*smacks the game around for a while because it doesn't mount tractored weapons automaticly when it does it when you buy then goes in for a bit of nomad whoopin*

If the guns were named "GUARDIAN", they were class-10 special guns that you can only get from looting wrecks. I can't imagine how you could mount them but not fire them... were they maybe significantly damaged? BTW, the mounted icon is light-blue when you're docked, indicating you can mount/unmount the item. Oh, and what level are you? There's been some debate about level requirements and class-10 stuff... but if you're level 38, that couldn't be the issue.

Yes, you have to mount them yourself. But it doesn't seem to work in Space, only at the dealer.

Kinda sensible really when you think about it. Though if you want to climb out of your ship in hard vacuum, crawl into your cargo hold, grab that fancy new gun, a wrench and screwdriver, climb out on your ship's wing and bolt that baby down, be my guest. Hope those shields protect you when you're sitting duck out there in space.

Better to just wait for the equip dealer.

the guns are only properly mounted when the little blue boxes by their picture are connected. If the boxes are separated the guns can be mounted, but are not currently mounted. If there is no little blue boxes but the text is blue then the gun is good but there is no room. If the text is gray the gun is too high level for you.

Clicking on the little blue boxes mounts and unmounts weapons.

Diamondbacks look cooler than the guardians when you fire them. I've got two Diamondbacks, two nomad canons, two level 9 wyrms, and a wyrm turret. It amazing how fast stuff blows up when I shoot at it.

go to sigma-13 sector 4c and you will find some old republic ships all over the place. shot the ships and they will drop lv10 weapons.. there are alot of republic ships in the system. the junkers kind of guard the area...some of the ship are in sector 2c area too.....
