regarding the codename weaps

has anyone noticed the tail of the diamondback looks a lot like the stuff you see in liberty? they are supposed to be secret projects, maybe the houses just didnt release who made them, maybe thats for us to figure out. i can giv you a head-start. if you kno what some of the crappier codname weaps look like and can identify them, post here:

diamondback: liberty
cerebus: reinland
silver fire: kusari/liberty
blue blaze: bretonia
wild fire: liberty/bretonia

thats all iv ever used, except the guardian but i cant remember what it looks like, or the promethius for that matter, o well, if you know these or any other codname weap creation location, pleaz post here... keep freelancing

Knowledge is security... anything else, well... good luck

Hmmm ... I thought I got the Diamondbacks from a Rheinland wreck.

One great big hole in the theory.

The Cerberus looks like its firing a snotball.

Then again, could have been done by the gaians. They're greenies.

Look at they type of ship you found them on...chances are that the faction that cooked them up would put them on their own ships, not someone else's, hmm?

Hell, they were even so kind as to sell me a ship after one of my jobs with them, and I've been flying her ever since. But god help them if someone puts a bounty on THEIR heads, for I don't care who I hunt for, as long as their live capture(or untimely death) can get me enough credits to buy a decent sized mug of my favorite drink."- A Freelance Bounty Hunter.

If Liberty developed diamondbacks, why is their navy armed with lvl 6 weapons at best? Also, it was a Rheinland old Imperial fighter that yeilds these weapons. --- RR16

RR16, the units patrolling cities in RL are usually armed with hand guns only (if at all), even though the respective armies certainly command heavier calibres up to 155 mm, plus ballistic missiles and such. In fact, a city where the police sports automatic rifles and usually drives around in APCs with machine gun turrets is very likely a pretty dangerous place.

Post Wed Sep 17, 2003 6:30 am

no, im just sayin the diamondbacks are most likely from liberty because the have tails like liberty engines and other things

I dunno if they were made by other factions then the owners of the ships you can find them on and frankly I don't really give a damn, but I DO have to say that the Diamondback looks EXACTLY like a smaller version of the stuff the Luberty dreadnought fires out of that huge main forward gun of theirs...

look at what i said...

what the tale and waht about that color... u will not know till u tested it...

ion engine (mostly light blue (xenox))
plasma engine (depends on what type of plasma ur using)
laser (can be diverend)

u will know what it blast/spit out/fires iff u test the damned thing... even a green looking gun can blast a black long trail... or maybe a white...

rheinland use for engines and guns the same sort of stuff what gives the blast a a green looking thing... liberty use stuff what makes them blue... but it doesn't say that if rheinland upgrade his weapion that the color stays the same (diamondback)... if u use an other maybe explosive compinent in it it can be colored blue and get an other type of trail... maybe they buyed some of liberty stuff for themself and use it with their own green stuff and a higher energy rate for the extreme blast and what do u get... yes... it's a diamondback .

If u c some1 in a defender make fireballs from hunter it can be me

they are just experiments done by the factions, and either lost or scrapped
