Well he said he had been able to mount other class 10 weapons so I think he has a suitable ship. Check if you have available harpoints for them! I thought there were 6 in the begining and then I found out there are only four (at least on Eagle and Sabre, don't know about Titan).
And besides, forget about class 10 weapons, the class is just how much energy it takes, get nomad cannons!!! they rock!!!

Haenlomal,

Your wrecks list is much appreciated. To clarify things, I have an eagle and I know how to get available hardpoints. Again, it says the information on the weapon is classified, and it is not letting me mount this weapon. My theory is that since I believe the Viking wreck to be a bounty hunter wreck, I cannot use this since my rep with the bounty hunters is bad. I also theorize that I need a better rep to declassify the weapon so I can use this. I base this theory on being able to use guardian lvl 10 weapons which I got from a wreck that I was on good terms with the wreck's group ( I believe it was the Zoners ).

Ralter, thanks for the advise about the nomad guns. I want to be packing these prometheus weapons when I start fighting them .

Ralter,

I will double check to make sure I wasn't trying to mount them to lvl 9 spots, but since I am not at home I will let you know later, but I know for sure that it is not even giving me the mountable icon in the upper left corner of the weapons display.

Is this a bug? Has anyone out there mounted prometheus weapons?

Oy...sorry about that...somehow missed that bit that you were able to mount other lvl 10 weapons.

About the only thing I can think of is what Ralter said...check to make sure you're not mounting them on lvl 9 weapon slots. I was able to mount Prometheus on my ship no problem. I've also noticed that you said you didn't even see the mount icon, so could it be that your ship has no suitable empty slots left? I know, I know...very basic thing, but there is a chance it could've been overlooked.

Otherwise, you've ran into an odd bug, or else you are using modded ini's that...well, haven't been modded properly. In either case, good luck

-- The Haen.

P.S. The Titan also has only 4 lvl 10 slots, like the Sabre and the Eagle.

Mounting class 10 weapons has absolutely nothing to do with your reputation, or the fact that the information is classified. All the class ten weapons (excluding the Nomad Blasters and Cannons) say that their information is classified, but that does not hinder your ability to use it. You just have to make sure you have open class 10 weapon hardpoints.

Haenlomal,

Thanks for the follow up. I will recheck to see if I was being stupid about trying to mount them to level 9 slots. I remember selling one of the weapons I was using and still the icon to mount was not available, but it must have been a level 9 slot. Thanks for letting me know you were able to mount the weapon. I will let you know when I check it out when I get home from work.

OK guys, the problem was that I had not unmounted a lvl 10 spot. I am good to go. Thanks for the help everyone.

A good chunk of level 9 weapons are better than the Prometueus (which is crap, as far as level 10's go). Go find some good ones, like Wildfire or Diamondback.

Nightsilver,

Thanks for the info. Yeah, I agree the Prometheus' are not that good. I have found some Wild Fires in Omnicron Beta, at the wreck. I also found out this sector keeps resetting the wrecks so you can go back an infinite # of times .

i may sound st00pid 4 asking this but are wrecks what you get when you destroy a ship

Stardust,

Every wreck gives different items when you shoot them where the red damage bar is gone. There is a complete list of wrecks and their items at the top of the spoilers section.

Acutually you don't need to take the whole bar unless it's a Supply Pod.
