In two of the wrecks around the "Unknown Jump Hole" in Omicron Alpha. This jumphole is near the Theta and Beta holes, and is easily found by looking for a rather large ring of shipwrecks. Can't really be more specific, as there are too many wrecks there to pinpoint one without searching three or four of them. Watch out, since Nomads patrol this area.

Once you have the launchers, you can get ammo for them at any base with an equipment dealer, with a cost of (ouch) $7229 per mine.

ok the definative guide to get the wrecks in alpha

1. get to the beta jump hole @ F5 in alpha after getting the unknown jump hole @ F4 on your map and the wrecks around it.
2. enable the Station/Solar listing for the bottom left hud section
3. find the first wreck listed, then double click it
4. press your target next key, default is T until you find the one with the Cerberus, usually the 5th ship in the list, sometimes more depending which side of the hole your on.
5. fly to it and loot it while keeping it in ship scan.
6. then quickly press T until you find the next ship, fly to it and repeat for the rest, there are 4 in total not 2
7. on the 3rd wreck watch for nomads as they usually spawn about then but sometimes earlier.

Depending on how bad you want it, you can save the game in other than the auto save and leave teh game. Install Ioncross char. editer and exchange the one you have for it.

the 4 wrecks are sometimes best thought of as the ones to the "east" of the jumphole

I got my Ripper looking for Cerebrus. I still can't find Cerebrus.

Just before you destroy a wreck, press T to get the next one. Go to that one after destroying the one you were shooting and repeat. It'll take a while, but you'll get them all and therefore Cerberus eventually

if you re-read my guide its the first one you come to if you follow the directions and if the wrecks haven't been looted already

Thanx for the info on the whereabouts of the ripper mine luncher. So now does anyone know where i find a class 10 shield coz i cant find that either. But im not too worried about where u can tell me or not coz im doing well with my shield i have now

any planet/station in alpha beta or gamma will be the closest for you for lvl 10 positron

you can also get the shield from the corsair base in omega 41
this can be handy if playing online with a load of people hanging round the omicrons taxing people as they never hang out there cause of the radiation

how much damage do rippers do?
I personally hate mines, but i ask because of curiosity.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't remember offhand, but it was somewhere over 4000 armor and 2000+ shield...not worth the price if you can score more hits with a cheaper missile, but it's the most powerful weapon an LF can carry.

I was looking at the ini files anyway and found it. 3912/1956 damage. It's a very good weapon if you can use it properly.
