I think you can get them at Battleship Matsumoto, in case that was the one in the Hokkaido system. Anyways, the Battleship near the Chugoku gate construction site sells the Sunfury 2s and Scrambler 2s. AND Sunfrenzy 2s - they're sweet.

Well, if I may recommend:

Go to Sheffield Station (Manchester) and get your self some Warriors lv6!

They look cool to!

cool, didnt kno there was another battleship in kursai, the one in shi***u doesnt have the sunfury2s or sunfrenzy2s

warriors sound pretty cool but i love the refire rate of the sunfurys and they look pretty cool when they fire and hit too

I dont care much for kusari weapons... the photon cannons lack efficiency (damage done per energy used) and the neutron guns lack muzzle velocity.
I prefer weapons with high velocity as you need less lead on the enemy ship.

Probably better weapons to get are the GMG skyblasts and sunblasts.
High fire rate, high muzzle velocity and very good energy efficiency.

Have a look at the particle guns of the Outcasts and the Xenos. Highest damage, excellent efficiency, and the projectile speed ranges from acceptable (Outcasts) to very good (Xenos). Their overall fighting value is excellent and they make even the GMG guns look mediocre in comparison.

A light fighter equipped with these weapons can do more damage than heavy fighter equipped with mediocre stuff, despite having fewer gun hardpoints and a slightly weaker powerplant.

In fact, I rather take the class 5 versions of these guns - which can be looted - than the class 6 versions of any other guns, except perhaps GMG.

You guys are like this: OOW I need a class 6 weapon that rocks! those guns SUCK! get a new finer ship with class 9-10 weapons they can destroy those ships you guys are flying in 10 sec or what! get some better ships like the Titan, Sabre, or Eagle!

Titan livers , some people like to earn the money for a VHF using their guns instead of trading or pirating, and a ship like the class 6 Drake is nice for this job (can do missions up to difficulty 35 easily). I.e. ship sequence Patriot - Drake - Falcon/Eagle. During the SP campaign you cannot get ships higher than class 6 anyway.

Besides, it is no challenge to take out a wing of class 6 ships in a class 10 VHF - I am sure even Medigo would be able to manage that (on a good day). The fun is doing it the other way round, i.e. to take out wings of class 10 VHF in a class 6 ship. NukeIt even killed a Sabre patrol in the class 3 Patriot ...

I had a terrible time with the mission at the arch. I could never get all the shield generators before I got blown up. Then I went back and started over. This time I loaded up with Outcast guns -- powerful and LONG RANGE. When I got to the arch mission, it seemed unbelievably easy. The longer range let me blast the generators away without getting hit myself. Since then, I carry the longest range guns I can find.

i got my sunfury weapons from destroying ships in i think bretonia and then i sold them looked at the stats and bought them back but compared to other weapons there not that good!!!!

Yeah Medigo, there ain't no cahllenge in flying a Titan in Liberty and PKing newbs.

I don't know if you do that, but it would suit you well.

Titan, Eagle, Sabre... been there... done that....
Anyone can blow up stuff in one of those three ships with lv10 diamondbacks or Nomad weapons.

It' s much cooler to do it in a Banshee or Drake outfitted with lv5/6/7 weapons...

Try using a drake in a limited duel (no batteries, nanobots, torps or mines) and you will very quickly see its advantage.

You fly rings around all others. Sure it takes you longer to take em out, but when they cant hit you, you can afford to take the extra time

btw Kennez, get a borroco from the corsairs. Lvl 5 shield killer. It rocks
Mind you, take plenty of nanobots to survive the radiation to get there.

Just my $0.02, but it could just be the cardamine talking.
