Some weapons

In the game, there are some weapons, which either their respective makers don't sell, or which don't fit on the hardpoints of the maker's ships. For example, the Vengeance MkIII. This thing will never fit on a Patriot, Defender, or Rhino. Yet Liberty still manufacture it. Why ?
Also. There's the Stealthblade MkII. The Rheinland military never actually sells that stuff, yet you can always scan military patrols and find it attached. How can you get them without having 4 Valkyries sending you to hell ?

You might want to try Pirna Border Station, Dresden. They sell the Stealthblade Mk II there. Welcome to TLR

if you scan defenders in liberty, some of them have vengeance MKIII mounted. Its an anomaly. Sometimes starfliers have 3 heavy starbeams.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

You get illogical weapon loadouts all the time, I mean Juni's defender is mounting Class 6 weapons by the end of the story, and I think the Order Anubis fighters have Cannonballs

@ Darkstone,

The Stealthblade MkII is buyable? I thought it could be only found on wrecks! And Dev_Wood, I think that's only to balance the players to the retarded enemy AI

If you scan the ships flown by Juni, King etc in the last missions, you'll find them loaded with more batts and bots than there ships supposedly can handle too!

For a real surprise, scan the Liberty ships that waste a certain someone and tell Trent he should forget about seeing it. If nothing else, where do they store all of those missiles???

King's patriot is completely weird. Near the end of the SP campaign, if you scan it, you'll find that it's carrying Vengeance MkIII's (and I think Moonstalkers?). No wonder he didn't bother changing the ship all through the story.

@Shadowfire

Pirna Border Station is the only place you can pick up the Stealthblade Mk II and Flamecurse Mk II. It's also the only place to pick up their level 9 weapons, Hornviper and Firekiss mk II

@Dev_Wood,

if u follow the storyline and watch kings ship everytime, u will see that he flown a patriot (standard), a defender (escape into the badlands (if i'm right)) and a anubis (just before entering the nomad homeworld, after entering he has his patriot back).

juni has flown only 2 ships, her special defender and a anubis (same place as king)

walker used a defender (before/after landing at buffalo base) and his cruiser. not sure if he flown also a anubis...

He couldn't have flown an Anubis because he commited suicide, remember?

Dark Helmet: Gimme that, you petty excuse of an officer!
Now hear this: LUDICROUS SPEED!!!
Col. Sanders: Sir, hadn't you better buckle up?
Dark Helmet: Eh, buckle this! Ludicrous speed...GO!!!

You'll find weird things like that everywhere. Check out Bounty Hunter Hammerheads deep in the Omicron systems. Red Hessian Stilettos in Omega-11. Even Corsair Titans in their home system... they all have load-outs which would be impossible for you to have. I would suggest that each faction has discovered ways of drawing extra power out of their respective ships, and they won't tell you how because you're not one of them. Juni's Defender was modified visually, why not technically as well? Install a higher-capacity energy system, more armour, etc. All the stuff that player want from the game but can't have, lol

Actually, the crosair titans in omicron gamma have, at least, "Possible" load-outs, or thier ships can actually mount. Wait, can't ANY class 10 ship mount ANY weapon? But I did find somthing, erm, odd, in the NPC ships in the omicrons. The paralyzer missle. It's on almost every bounty hunter hammerhead.

However, you never manage to salvage a launcher. Seems their only purpose is for you to tractor them in and sell them, running up your level in a hurry.
