Hi all just a few newb questions i havent found anywhere els

ok well been playing freelancer for a whole 4 days or so, so these are probably pretty stupid questions but im just curious if theres anyway to get a stealth ship like the rienland millitary ones? and also is there anywhere i can find the specs on those prototype guns like the diamond back and thors hammer n stuff i have a whole heap of different ones but i dont want to sell them incase i sell the good ones =)

erm by stats i dont mean damage and all that mainly just what shields there best against (trying to get a range of weapons that deal good damage to all shields so i can kill everyone

1. Stealth is not available.

2. Weapon specs can be seen in both your inventory screen and the equipment trading screen. Just remember to scroll down.

(I don't think there are any L10 guns worth keeping. The Diamondback makes some nice blue circles, but it does not make more damage per second than some L9 weapons.)

Gnavpot, he's asking where he can find the *full* description for the class 10 weapons, like what kind of shield they're good against and weak against. I'm pretty sure you'd have to dig through the data to find that out, though.

Nope, there is no info on those guns (it's classified!!)
As for whether they are any good or not, two passes with a full load out of Lv10 guns will down pretty much anything in space short of VHF's (which incidentally are the only ships that you can mount Lv10 weapons on).

You have to find out which experimental guns are best for you by trial and error. The only thing I don't like about the level 10 guns is that all the ones I've got ahold of fire really slow. I use them anyway, but I have to aim more carefully. Four or five good hits with four level ten guns will tear just about anything to shreds.

Tasiin, I have seen some postings saying that L10 weapons do not have special advantage to some shield types.

For normal weapons, the damage to the three shield types is apparently 80%, 100% and 120% of nominal damage, where L10 weapons damage is 100%, 100% and 100%.

But you are right. He specifically wrote that he was not interested in the normal weapon stats.
