Weapons & Mining Wreaks

Wed Jun 18, 2003 1:02 pm by Lutz

OK, I checked as many threads as I could, and I'm damned if I can find an answer to these question (Here, or anywhere on the net...)
Can you have beam lasers in FreeLancer? By beam lasers I mean the sort that were fired all through Free Space 2 by the capital ships... I have a screen shot of a beam laser in FreeLancer (At least I think it's one) but it's not attached to the players ship...
Also, how can you tell if a wreak has weapons to salvage on it? I'm not sure if I've found any yet... I've found several wreaks in space, space stations and such like, but can't do much with them...
Thanks for any help!

Well, it's only 2 cents, but it's usally enough...

As to the wrecks question, look on the spoilers forum and I think you'll find something you're after.

Can you have beam lasers in FreeLancer?NO.
a beam laser in FreeLancer (At least I think it's one),It is tracker beam who trackers your loot.
how can you tell if a wreak has weapons to salvage on it?Shoot it.
BUT THIS IS A BIG SPOILER!!!!!
Why every body post them in here?!

Ahwell, that answers that.
And no its not the tractor beam, I'm not that daft. It seriously looks like a beam laser. It was off a gaming website, if I can find I'll tell you where...

Meh, it's a bloody missle. I think. Got two vapour trails... Ahwell.
Thanks for the tip on the wreaks. I shot all that I come across, but to no avail so far...

Sometimes there are some wrecks has NO loot,may be you are out of luck.

Must be. I've found loads, but they're all old stations, mining instalations (Like the one in the Stoke Mining Field) etc...
Is there any sweet spots or anything, or do you just hit them?

Wrecks with loot show up on your navmap as a red X and have a short discription on what they were carrying and how they got there. They can also be detected by your onboard scanner, click on the "Everything" icon in your scanerhud. Its the most right of the five (Important, Ships, fixed objects, Loot, Everything)
The ones you mean are probably the heavily damaged storage depots, usually in astroidfields, you can't destroy them.
You can however, distroy the ones that are not damaged. They also show up as loot in your scannerhud, but those are usualy near stations, thus pissing off the various factions when you try to shoot them.
Also abanded stations like Ichata Researchstation are indistructable and not realy interresting.

The spoilerforum has some threads about salvegable wrecks.

*** To Freelance, or not to Freelance, that is the question ***
