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!

You get Nomad weps by the unknown jump holes in Omicrons A & G. You'll have to fight Nomads for them.

Zaratomb, I don't think people are understanding what you are trying to say here I haven't seen any 600 m/s turrets either. Too bad, really.

dang i finally got the SkyBlast B's and hooked up 6 of them with a B turret to try that gun out.. the shots dont look or sound too pretty lol but they sure have one heck of firing speed.. you can mow down ships with 7 of those guns (of course this setup is at a disadvantage for shields that are made for photon shots) but nice nonetheless

Has anyone run across the Bounty Hunter "Buckshot" Photon Cannon? I've searched many of the bounty hunter bases in various systems and haven't been able to find anyone selling them. I'm beginning to wonder if they are being sold anywhere in the game.

For Sale at a base, no.....but the missions on Crete are all against the Bounty Hunters.

The Kraken type 2 is the most powerfull
lvl 9 gun that i have found 4* 586 with a 122 energy drain

I sold 4 Buckshots yesterday.

Salvaged off 2 missions from Crete, one was 199k, 42 difficulty (blah, easy) and the other was 150k 39 difficulty. Use a CL8 Graviton and they don't even hurt you unless you cut your engines and let them shoot at you constantly.

Wyrm II's are sold on Malta.

I love Skyblast B's....the sound is just cool, and I like rapid fire weapons, even though they dont do as much damage.

I am loaded with Nomad Blasters now, but I still keep 2 Skyblasts just for the sound effect.

Post Sat Apr 05, 2003 2:08 pm

Contrary to what you've said, I think Skyblasts do great damage.
Good projectile speed too.

Post Sat Apr 05, 2003 2:58 pm

Yeah skyblast b's do great ammounts of damage. though I think I like using Kraken 2's, the damage potential is higher and they are a bit easier to aim for controlled shots.
2x kraken2's 1x skyblast b turret and the rest Nomad cannons gives me a damage potential of 16985 Hull 8437 Shield per second. (of course that's only if every round hits it's mark.)
Anyboby seen any Kraken2 turret's?
I wouldn't bother with the buckshot weapons, they're not that great.

I wish that the diamondbacks were a bit better cause they really light up the sky when you fire 'em... best weapon effect I seen.

The c8 Kraken Turret description says it is "the best particle turret the Outcasts have to offer". That's your clue.

The Iron Hammer guns have a firing effect that is almost identical to the Diamondback guns, but more of a blue color.

1 Skyblast B
1 Tizona
2 Nomad Blasters
and 2 WILD FIRES. I'd say that the Wild fires are the best (non-nomad) weapons because they're damage is only surpassed by the diamondbacks, yet their energy drain is the lowest of the (non-nomad) lvl. tens. I tried using all nomads but they just didn't do enough damage for my liking...unless I equip all nomad canon instead of blasters. I think I'll go try that right now..

yup, as I suspected. Even with all canon, my enemies didn't die as fast as with the blasters and wild fires. So there you have it, that is my weapon loadout (for now, there sould be some changes)
