bounty hunter weapons missing

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!

Yes, Sheffield Station in Manchester. These are the only two bases run by the BHG.

Why use them? As there are better weapons out there for the heavy fighters, ok if you want to load a HH with BH's weapons for RPG ok, then just kill BH's for them

They have very high refire rates, so if you fly a VHF and want to go hunting LF's, they can be useful, although mainly it depends on preference.

i wanted more info because the bh cannons have longer range and havr very high refire rate.
buckshot turret has 700 mts range

I like to use the BHG turrets with the GMG Photon guns. All have the same projectile speed and high refire rates. 6 Skyblast B's with a Buckshot turret on a Sabre is deadly.

Bounty Hunter weapons are arguably the best dog-fighting weapons around. There are some photon turrets with better damage ratios, but the range on the Reavers tips them over the edge. Those extra shots while the enemy is out of range can make all the difference. And the Buckshot gun is one of the more powerful weapons out there.

bounty hunter weapons on a bounty hunter ship dont match.

usually the ships of a perticular faction are to be energy efficient to carry the factions weapons.

bounty hunter ships have low powerplant ratings.

Yeah, but remember, the BH guns are long range and energy efficient. Not that it really matters, since NPCs don't use energy.

But players do, and with a weapon that's more energy efficient you can be firing the winning shot while the other guy is sucking the bottom of his battery. If you can dodge the super-powerful energy hog guns, you can have at least a few seconds in which the enemy operates with significantly less firepower.

preference of bounty hunter weapons are usually laser cannons.
i have never seen any of them carrying particle cannons

why?

@ittan, the Hunters carry them in the Edge Worlds.

Indeed, the extra 'umph' can be quite handy out there.

ok.........
update : bh weapons can be effectively mounted on most civilian ship with slow power drain.
