Weapons and Rep

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!

Weapons and Rep

I've searched the forums on this topic and didn't find anything.

What are the best lvl 10 weapons to get for a ship? I've heard people mention the Nomads weapons, where can these be found?

Also is there any way to get your Reputation neutral for everyone? I.E Blood Dragons, Mollys etc.

Best guns are the class 10 guns. You have to search a bit for them. A hint: You can't buy them.
And the Nomads are in two diff systems. Well four actually, but there are just two "Nomad" systems. One is reachable through a jumphole in Aplha and the other is reachable through a jumphole in Gamma.

About the reps, that's dificult, but it's possible without editing any files. It takes a long time though. best I did was take a Junker bribe and I was left with two enemies and the rest all neutral or friendly.

Edit: Damn spelling.

"Best" level 10 guns depends on your style. Some are very powerful, but slow to fire. Others are not as potent, but fire more often.

As you've already been told, the guns are NOT for sale anywhere ... not even on basie that sell ships capable of using level 10 guns.

Some more advice: when you find 'em, hang onto those guns -- at least some of them. You can sell them right away for a lot of credits, but then you won't have them when you finally get a ship that can use them!

there is a class 9 gun as good as any class 10 and better than most (aside from nomads) to say any more would be a spoiler
have a look in the spoiler forum or maybe a mod will move this thread and we can give you more info

Don't worry about spoilers... I've completed the game already. I just want to find some badass weapons Were can I obtain Nomad weapons? Is there a particular ship wreck that has them? I forget which wreck had them, but I obtained dimondback or something guns... are they any good?

That would be a spoiler aswel

Anything which could spoil the hunt is a spoiler. So once again, this is all you're gonna get here. Ask or search in the spoiler forum

Edit: Damn spelling.

ah much better here thanks stinger
pulse the best l 10 guns are in sigma 13 and around the unknown jumphole in alpha there are others but all of them are FAR weaker than the level 9 gun for sale at ruiz the kraken2
the nomads drop guns sometimes when you kill them if you are less than l34 dont bother wasting your time best places are around the unknown hole in alpha (not through it) and in the unknown system off gamma (not around the hole in gamma) the 2 options listed are better for a lot of reasons than the ones ive ruled out

The standard class 10's are fun just for the enormous damage output, but the nomad weapons are your best bet. Just remember to have some of the class 10's from Sigma 13 (Diamondbacks, etc) or else the nomads will send you back to manhattan in a box. The nomad weapons have reduced damage output (slightly) but the advantage that they fire faster and use no energy more than makes up for it... 4 nomad energy cannons and 2 wyrm type 2's dish out so much damage it doesn't matter anyway. However some people believe that using nomad weapons takes all the challenge out of it, so its really up to you.

Nomads are easy, I've killed them with Angelito Mk IIs, which are only class 7 and do terribly low damage. Something like less than 1/3 the firepower of a Nomad gun.
