Mongoose Hide and Seek

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!

Mongoose Hide and Seek

Is the Mongoose wreck in Sigma-17, grid 4F?, I've been doing search patterns around 4F for ages and haven't found the damn thing, found old Robert though. I've also searched all surrounding grids with no success. Am I just unlucky or am I looking in the wrong place, I want those Blue Blaze lvl 10s.

the mongoose isn't hiding... co'z it's a wreck... the locations where told in the 1 above

y looting that wreck anyway... co'z the powerfulliest weaps from wrecks r in omicron alpha and sigma-13... diamondback and cerberus, but the kraken have about the same damage a sec, but uses lesser energy...

True the Diamondback and such are the most powerful, but other lvl 10 weapons have a better refire rate, such as the Silverfire, and also drain less energy. In any case I'd consider it a pretty decent goal to accomplish, looting all the wrecks within the game, and I can't do that without finding the Mongoose.
Thanks for the co-ords RILMS

go to sigma-13 (the GMG home system one) and go to sector 5c then work your way up. you'll come across 4 or 5 OINF (Old Imperial Navy Fighter) wrecks that carry the following weapons:

> OINF in sector 5C carries 2x JADE, some cruise disruptors, and drone mines
> OINF in sector 5C carries 2x DIAMONDBACK some cruise disruptors, and drone mines
> OINF in sector 4C carries 2x ONYX some cruise disruptors, and drone mines
> OINF in sector 4C carries 2x BLOODSTONE some cruise disruptors, and drone mines
> OINF in sector 3C carries 2x IRON HAMMER some cruise disruptors, and drone mines
> Kassel in sector 3C carries 2x SILVER FIRE some cruise disruptors, and drone mines

None of the above carry any commodities, but the weapons will surely make up for that! Hope this is better than the Mongoose wreck, as it was for me! Each weapon does on average 1000 odd hull damage and 500 odd shield damage.

I believe Jade was the most energy efficient, but I haven't used a class 10 anything in a while.

I've already looted the Sigma-13 wrecks, I just plan on looting all the wrecks, its my current form of income at the moment, and surprisingly enjoyable, until I got jumped by 8 Outcasts in Stilletos looking for that Mongoose.
In any case I wont be finding that Mongoose in quite a while, damn mouse went belly up yesterday and I'm moving out on Friday, while the comp stays put btw.

@NukeIt, the JADE has the same hull dammage, shield damage, firerate and power use ass the wyrsm type 9 off the outcast...

only the wyrm is faster and have a longer range...

the kraken type 2 has a little lower hulldamage (4 a sec lower) and shield damage (if i''m right 2 a sec lower) as the cerberus/diamondback

but the kraken has a dubble firerate, has a higher speed and longer range and uses extreme lower energy then the cerberus/diamondback...

a fighter with 2 JADE, 2 DIAMONDBACK and 2 CERBERUS uses more power a sec and have a little damage a sec more then the same type off ship with 2 wyrsm type 2 (class 9) and 4 kraken type 2 (class 9) but have a lower flak-capacity deu to lower firerate off the CERBERUS and DIAMONDBACK... so the ship with the outcast weaps has more change to win the battle...

Yeah, but remember the funky firing graphics of the Diamondback and the other level 10s, that whole supersonic ball look of the Diamondback and the surging ball of energy that is the Blue Blaze. Its all about the look.
I found the Mongoose btw, was in the bottom of the cloud.
