respawning weapons MP Mode

First of all
to the TLR crew ,, great page good info.

Q When playing MP do the weapons on wrecks exist only once until they are beamed in?

I have a Titan with Silver Fires and picked up a pair of Diamond Backs.
Whilst I had the Silver fires on board and the Diamond back mounted I
ran foul of the minefield at Omega 5 DOH !

do these weaopons dissapear from the server for good or do they respawn somewhere ?

are they available for other players from the wreck ?

when you die you lose the weps
wrecks do regen but only really on reeboot of server
you cant loot them twice

What if I shoot a wreck, it's already been looted but the health bar is full, can I go back and hit it again and get the loot after reboot or does the game register that I've already hit that wreck even though I don't get the loot.

Good question! I've looted many wrecks and every once in while it DOES
do that *klunk-debris* thing that signifies you've already looted it when I know
for a FACT (me keeps records) that I've NOT gotten any loot from it!
Perhaps I should also keep a record if I've shot the thing Vs. just seen it's bar down.

Yea on MP servers once a wreck has been looted by any player it needs to wait for a server restart to re-fill. As long as another player has salvaged the wreck you need to wait for a server restart no matter if you did it or not.

All this infomation is stored on the server machine.

I went to the place with the most protos (not in spoiler forum) shot up the first one and nothing dropped, the next night I tried another one and eventually they all dropped apart from the one the previous night. Health bar was full so I'm guessing that it already thought I'd hit that one?

If you throw enough mud ..some's gonna stick.
