Buy the shield right there at Gas Miner Naha, then go to Aomori (Honshu) for the Sunblast B.

Complete list of locations for the class 7 graviton shield (Protector):
Gas Miner Naha, Sigma-13
Planet Kurile, Sigma-17
Atka Research Station, Sigma-17
Freeport 7, Sigma-17
Pacifica Base, Bering
Ainu Depot, Hokkaido
Darmstadt Depot, Stuttgart

I believe I picked up a level 7 sunblast in one of the old imperial fighter wrecks in Sigma 13 4C or 5C and didn't have to pay for it. One of each of the level 10 guns are safely in my hold until I can use them .... bumped me up a few levels as well.............

If you throw enough mud ..some's gonna stick.

Lotsa luck gettin it there!

Sherlog, do you have a list or something with all those weapon locations?

Or something. A couple of lightyears ago - in April or thereabouts - I converted some of the game .ini files into FoxPro tables. In order to find the places where the Protector shield is sold I typed the SQL query (or rather edited a similar query in the command history):

<pre><font size=1 face=Courier>sele * from Universe wher lowe(base) in ( ;
sele lowe(base) from market_misc wher good = "shield01_mark07_hf" and base_sells) </font></pre>

FoxP allo me to abbr the name of comm and func afte the firs 4 lette, you know.

I do not use this often enough to justify wrapping this into a form or program, especially as programs like FL DataStorm or LancerThing do exist already. Lists of equipment sale locations would be very long and unwieldy.

P.S.: No, FP7 is not in market_misc. I added it to the result manually.
