considering the most you can spend on a single ship is 1000000 credits to get the best stuff{minus ammo/repairs}, I'd say thats enough.

ok thanks... wasnt sure what weapons cost at vlass 10. Played SP only till i got sabre, and didnt get wns to match it

the easiest class ten guns to get to are in omicron gamma(if there is deathmatch) i think the coordinate might be 4C its atleast colse to there. my favorite class nine gun is a reaver mk II at the deshima station it only does one hundred and somethin but has a refire rate of 8.33. hope i helped!!!

to post a spoiler here would be wrong

VHF is 550K (exception is the Titan , it is 700k)
Lvl 10 shield is 315 K
7 lvl 9 guns is 720K (that is if you do not have nomads or lvl 10 guns somewhere)
Sunslayer torp launcher is 150K
Screamer mine launcher is 120K (not sure about this one could be less)
adv countermeasure dropper is 3300
adv thruster is 6k
60 or so nanos is 12K
60 or so bats is 12k
50 torps is 350K
50 mines is 300k
50 countermeasures is 2k

plus the bribe to get the good stuff (approx 150K)

Total bill is 2.7 million (and you have some spare change left from selling your old stuff)

of course the amount changes depending on what stuff you picked up along the way (ripper mines, lvl 10 guns, lvl 9 guns and the like)
also you can reduce the amount of the ship purchase by 50K by removing the preselected shield in the select screen since you are going to buy a different shield anyway.

You don't have to buy the sunslayer either. The Starkillers are way way cheaper, but are still competitive in performance. What Corwin02 listed are the most expensive items, but not necessarily the best things. 2.8 million is plenty. Get some Kraken II's and do some outcast or corsair missions and you got your 2.8 million back anyway.

Corwin02. Isn't the Sunslayer launcher 151k and not 150k?

Have fun Peeps.

Well, when you're all done you just need enough $ to be level 34 so the Nomads will drop their guns, and a little extra for repairs and ammo.
2 mil should be enough, unless you must pay tolls or lots of bribes.

i rounded all figures because if you are real picky the guns are 120490 or something

as far as me listing all the expensive equipment , the only piece of expensive equipment on that list is the sunslayer , the rest is just basic stuff (sorry but drone mines just don't cut it

Screamer is $180k, with $6k ammo. I usually just buy Cutter @FP9 for $82k/$3k
til I get around to gettin the Ripper. Anyone have a preference in Mines,
Homing Vs. Non?

I tend to run into my own mines, more often than not sooo... No mines for me.

Post Fri Sep 26, 2003 12:44 pm

Frobozz I agree with you there i normally buy a cutter till i can grab a ripper

Post Fri Sep 26, 2003 2:30 pm

Screamers are the minimum, but I love the rippers just because the stats are the highest on them. They are around 7k per shot, so they can get expensive if you are dueling and you never use them while doing missions or fighting NPC's. I was just messin with you about the sunslayer price corwin02. I was just bein a kak.
