a funny glitch- at least I think kinda funny

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!

a funny glitch- at least I think kinda funny

when i was heading to buffalo base during the destroy sattalite mission, i was attacked by patriots with vengance mkIII's. their lvl 7 guns but the max lvl for the patriot is 3. i know it would be too easy if they had justuce mkII's, but they should at least make up some sort of excuse! and when i was killing the rihneland valkeries at leeds, i cold swear on said " MR.trent, ive got one on my six" ( or something like that: you know what i mean). I was on his six. well, thats all.

I always wondered that too...why the NPC's have higher class guns that are alllowed on thier ships....i Guess they need all the help they can get...lol

Themax,once I scanned Juni's ship,it had Vengence Mk III's,and she says(when you reach the jumpgate to Alaska in that mission)"What are those gunnes"or somthing like that.But i notest sometimes she dosent have them(she had them in New York once,went to betonia,did'nt have them,went to Kusari,had them).It might only work for me,though

I can confirm what you mentioned about the rhienlanders... I heard that as well. Before this goes any further, mods please move this to the spoiler forum before too much is revealed ;-)

I will move to spoiler forum after this post

Ummm...dont you think that pilots would upgrade their ships? I agree that if NPCs can, then you should be able to also...but from a gaming standpoint, they need to have better guns than their ships can mount Look in some files...some NPCs even have armor multipliers It would get dull fighting the same enemies at the end of the game

yeah, it would be cheesy if it was so easy, but thy should at least add a misssion saying that all of liberties ships were upgraded.

I AM the best!!!

My theory is that the game was rebalanced late in development. If you read the "Strategies & Secrets" book the weapon levels for the ships are different from what you find in FL.

On a case ralate dto teh aforementioned mision. Does any1 know if you can accquire (by which I mean salvage from the ships) the Nomad Prototypes that the patriots pack? Also, even non-story ships are stringer in some locations. For instance, a Stilleto in Tau-37 is stronger than the smae ship in, say, SIgma-19 (or at least from what I've noticed). Still, do they really have to make Titans stronger in certain locations (as shown in the armor modifiers). I mean, honestly, they have enough health already!

You can't, unless Digital Anvil cosiders my idea of having a tractor that can take stuff off of ships while theyre still alive... and makes an expansion pack.
