Non faction weapons in bounty fleets
« on: January 13, 2019, 02:54:04 AM »
Not sure if this is any partucular mod, or vanilla auto-genenerated designs or something else, but the "deserter" bounties that factions post (not the IBB) seem all equipped with non-faction (common) weapons. So ORA fleets with tactical lasers, DME with ordinary machine guns etc. This happens even with late game bounties with pristine captitals.

What could be causing it?

These "desterter" bounties are part of Pirate faction, so they will use weapons, fighters and hullmods "known" by Pirate faction.

You can also...

sell blueprints / blueprint packs on black market, pirate will add contents of these into their "known ships / fighters" pool, which can lead to fun situations such as this:

Yes, but it was different in 0.8. There, you could farm deserters for faction ships and gear that you could otherwise not get without going to war. Now you still get the ships, but not the weapons (which is in short supply in general in 0.9).

Though I guess you can nowadays follow Nex invasion armadas like a suckersfish and get all the phat loot that way. Bonus points if multiple invasion fleets fight in the same system.

Yeah, this is a vanilla bug - fixed for the 0.9.1 release.
