Sunslayer Torpedos

Mon Mar 31, 2003 6:20 am by vrmlbasic

Where can I get them, the Starslayer things are weaker than most missles, and are so common they're available @ your local interstellar wal-mart. I desperatly want them so that when I redo the nomad battleship mission I can actually KILL them. (I made it through the SP the first time with only a Clydsedayle (the British Pig Ship) until I got to the outcast planet of snow that looks like CM that blows up, then I bought an Anubis.

Finally, the box says that you can essentially do whatever you please, but I bought the location of the Flint before the Alaska mission, and Juni and King kept flanking me. Thus, you are only free for 75% of the mission. Also, is there a freelancer patch, as I have MP problems.

You get the sunslayers from the bundschuh base, which is in Frankfurt, it's called Bruchsal. I don't know if there is a min. level to buy the torp though, so you may not be able to purchase it...

oh yeah, like most "UB3R" equipment it requires you to be liked to a certain extent to have the ability to buy something like that. The reason i use starkillers (or why anyone would use em for that matter) is probably because, well, its a free hardpoint, the AI NEVER cruises, and why not just stick something on that does good hull damage anyway, plus, some ships (ie Sabre) look really cool with torps on them. I know the reason i carry them is because, i have a free hardpoint im not using for anything, i have more money than i know what to do with (besides, what else is there to spend my money on anyway) but most of all, because it just lets me do a tad more damage with something like a missle simply by being there, and its invisible in the fact it doesnt affect any others hardpoints, doesnt waste energy, and has cheap ammo. So basically its just a tiny bit of extra firepower (also, the better stuff you have the higher your minimum level will be because you lose levels when u spend money). So really its just there to complete the whole, nice, deadly package of weapons, looks cool, and is just a "for free" type gun

Just remember this, though. The Sunslayer torpedoes will cost you nearly 7.5k each. And, because of their high hull damage potential, they are really good against nomads...but, then again, pretty much any weapon that you have will be good against nomads. Cheers.

I don't really run this place but I have an understanding with the people who do.

The sunslayer is....

a. something that you use when you're very, very filthy stinkin rich.

b. something that you use sparingly when you really really need a fast kill(i.e. a gunboat's on your butt eating you and you want it GONE)

Reaper: $200,000,000.
Rockets: $100,000
The look on that pilot's face when you launch a full pod of screamers up his tailpipe: priceless

My early post-Sprague Diamond runs have me with 1.5 million dollars so I'm rich enough. Speaking of Sprague, on the way there Freeport 1 said that Reinland was blockaded, buy after sprague I got right in through the jump hole. What's up with this??
