Hey, I asked this MONTHS ago, but I think it warrants asking again, when will we see the return of the trident and longbow?

[Serenitis]

Both are fine. They turn up from time to time, and sometimes in groups.
I saw a set of 4 Tridents on Sindira's military market a while ago. Longbows seem to turn up in black markets more.

Check around Askonia, Magec, and Hybrasil.

You saw them in last patched vanilla game, are you sure? I never saw both of this ships for sell or in enemy fleets. I actually think its a bug, as maybe dev removed them from spawning in the game

Never saw one, too. They exist in codex and mission, but none in campaign.

Had a look through the factions files... apparently not even the Tritach use Tridents at the moment.  So no, they don't spawn.

I suppose part of the reason the Longbow is inactive is because of the fighter AI's habit of spamming missiles immediately.  Thunders, for example, will promptly fling their Harpoons on sighting any non-fighter, heedless of such niceties as "point defense", "shields", "flares", or even "occluding rocks".  And while Thunders can continue to contribute with their Ion Cannon and Swarmers, Longbows are stuck with just a Burst PD Laser once their Sabot is fired.

Probably SS+ then. My mistake.
