Best lvl 9 weaps?

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

Best lvl 9 weaps?

What are the best level 9 weapons to use on the big 3 ships? So far i use Wyrm Type 2, (1956 hull dmg per round) and Tizona Del Cid for shield killing (4968 shield dmg per round). By per round i mean, each gun has its set dmg, like the Wyrm Type 2 has 652 hull dmg per shot. But you times the dmg by the rate of fire (because even though 1 weap may only do 600 dmg and another weap may do 1000 dmg the 600 dmg weap may do more dmg because its shoots 3 round per 1 of the 1000 dmg gun, thats why i say per round).

Can someone tell me exact location and stats of weapon, like hull/shield dmg, range, m/s, and rate, i dont need the energy usagage, makes no difference to me. thanks

General consensus is to keep a set of Wyrm II's, and then use Nomad Cannons for the rest of your hardpoints. These guns have enough shield killing potential that the Tizona's are fairly useless.

You can find Nomad weaps in the two "Unknown" systems.... I'll leave the exploring up to you!

Depends on what you looking for, I actually prefere the Salmanka?sp the corsairs use, they share the same shoot speed as the class 10/nomad weapons, easier to aim.

Now just need to find a turret, the salmanka turret is 100 mps faster than the guns

Oooh, I think I just saw some Salamanca turrets when playing earlier tonight. Try checking on Leon Station in Omega-41 or the surrounding stations.

Hehe, should have worded that better, have a Salamanka turret, looking for one with a 600 mps shot speed, but not certain if a class 9 turret exists with that shot speed. Thanks for info though

Salamanca turret can be bought at omega 41 pirate base (corsair) or you can just wait for the random drop from a corsair in that sector.. Be patient

is it just me or do the tizona's have like no graphic for shot when you fire them, when i first started using them i would only see my other cannons firing and thought hell why arent my tizona's shooting lol then i tried shooting just 1 tizona and saw that you only see the initial shot from the gun and barely see the point which it hits, but nothing in between

No, the Tizonas have no graphic, but they do the job, and yes, i already have 4 nomad blasters. I have 2 Tizonas, (for battles like fighting several titans) AND, 2 Wyrm II's, i just switsh back and forth depending on people i'm fighting. Thx for reply though. Leon station at omaga 41 for awsome turret? thx i go get it

I like the TDC's most of the time cuz w/ 4 Nomads and 2 TDC's most shields are gone after one shot, then you can use the Nomads to smear some hurt on.

I use 4 nomad blasters and 2 salamanka's on my eagle. Seems to be a good PVP combination for me. There is no real 'best' weapon or ship, just whatever suits your flying style best. The Wyrms have the same fire rate as the nomad cannons right? If so, thats another killer combination. I like Tizonas, but they just arent practical in pvp... So not good for me, when im defending myself against pirates... *sigh* stupid pirates...

My combination of weaps that I like would be:

2 TDC
2 Diamondbacks
2 NEB

They all have the same projectile speed and the NEB/TDC have the same refire rate. And when I disable the TDC's I can fire all day without having to worry about energy drain.

Luger Type C's are my favorite...

They're only Level8, but they pack a wallop!
