nothing in the wrecks

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!

nothing in the wrecks

This very well may be a newbie question and possibly not belong in spoilers, but is about the hidden wrecks. I read every FAQ you got thoroughly. Some GREAT information on the game there, I hope you don't mind me coping a lot of it into a notepad for quick n easy reference.

BUT I could find nothing on this particular issue: I just started playing multiplayer. I went out, made a fortune, bought the titan, and went to get my class 10 weapons at the wreck sites, but every wreck is empty. Do the wrecks on multiplayer ever get their loot back? can only one person shoot the wreck and then everyone else on the server has to deal with class 9 weapons? and basically, why was there no loot when I am shooting these wrecks for the first time myself?

Again, if this is a reiterative post, I thank you for your patience and indulgence.

Wrecks' loot gets reset whenever the server is reset. Contact your server admin to find out when this happens, so you can be in position to give yourself an easy advantage

And, with regard to your "make do with Class 9 weapons" bit, remember that the Class 10 weapons are only slightly better than the Class 9 ones. Indeed, there are some people who would advocate that they're worse.

The weapons spawn back in a few hours on my server

Darkstone: Thanks! that clears THAT up. I agree with you on the weapons, I prefer 2 wildfires, 3 wyrm type 2's, and a ??? Cid shield ripper class 9 gun, but I couldn't get the wildfires (or any 10 weapons). Thanks for clarifying that!

Now if I can just find the thread that explains what the heck that unknown object in the suns of Omicron Theta is ...

remember you can buy a class 9 gun that is as powerful as the best of the class 10 "wreck"guns
kraken 2 available from ruiz in beta higher fire rate means the output per second is = to a db or cereberus

Actually, a good codename gun is the Onyx. It does 1075 damage (or something like that) and has a 3.03 refire. Not bad for a codename gun.

Nah, you're wrong

The Onyx does 1075 hull damage at 2 refire rate. Same as a couple of other class 10 guns, and it still loses out to the Kraken 2, with 586 at 4 refire

ah yes guys the class 10 codenames may suck when it comes to damage per sec / energy use BUT the weaker ones have a great advantage in the special effects they cause such as :
ARCHANGELS: cause opponent too shake upon impact with hull messing up there aim

THORS HAMMERS : rip wings off other peeps fighters with considerable ease 8)

some class 9's do the same but adding one of these with your other weps adds a bit of suggestive flair

you use ioncross to put.. well you first put any 3 wepons that are ok for freelancer. Then save the game. then you use ioncross to put nomad wepons or what ever you what on your starflier





P.S. i once spelled starflier, starfiler.
