ADV Champion HF shield

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!

ADV Champion HF shield

I once met a guy on multiplay, who told me it's possible to 'steal' the level 10 shield of a npc (which is stronger then the ones you can buy) very heavy fighter.

he told me the place where, and hurray hurray, after a while blasting, I had myself a brand new shield. problem is, that's been about a year ago, and I have no idea where that was in the game :s

is there anyone that knows where to loot these shields?

2 + 2 = 6 for extremely large values of 2

You can get it if the server is using a server side mod to make it dropable. You can buy a lvl 10 Positron shield from all border factions or in the case the lvl 10 Gravition can be looted usually from killing Outcasts in Alpha or Tau 37 IF the server has that option.

Pinger is right, I'm not gonna tell you exactly where, since most of us had to discover it ourselves. But...Most border world places sell the best stuff. The biggest hint I can give is try one of the Omicron systems.

Although you don't actually want to loot the shields the NPCs have - scan an NPC with it next time you're in combat and you'll see that it has a regen rate of 1. Not too good.

So, if I'm interpreting everybody right, if the Outcasts and/or Corsairs want your head on a pike, your only options are to either:

a) Loot a Champion with a lousy regen
or
b) Find a lesser shield

Is this it? Because I've been trekking all over the Omicrons looking for one of those bloody things to complete my Eagle.

Nope as I said already unless the server has a mod Server Side that allows it to drop then you can't get it. It the server does have it then it is not the crippled NPC version but the full shield with good regen rate.

So if the server doesn't have said mod, then your only option is the Positron Shield.

Understood, understood, except -- and I really should have said so before, sorry -- I'm playing single-player. Am I still out of luck?

Edit: If I am, and bearing in mind that all criminal factions save the Blood Dragons want me dead, what is my next-best shielding option?

Not quite. Other options:

c) Bribe them
d) Learn to outfly and defeat them.

Corsairs only use positron shields , thats why BH are still patroling their home system.

This is slightly Off-Topic and Uhm this maybe old but I haven't got the time to search for this, anyways.... in unmodded SP there is a Champion Level 9 Graviton Elite Class Shield. I've scanned high-level Red Hessian Fighters and they have it. So I was wondering if anybody knows where it can be bought...hmmmm or do the Red Hessians have it for sale on their bases?

Post Fri May 27, 2005 11:07 am

Some ships you scan have the Adv. Champion level 10 Graviton shield. Doesn't mean it's buyable.
