Title: Having a hard time finding Heavy Blasters
Post by: RickyRio on October 22, 2014, 07:35:32 PM

Recently bought the game, really enjoying it so far.

I have made a trip to every station I could possible visit (not counting pirate bases) and I have not found a single Heavy Blaster other than the one I have started with.

Trying to run a fleet of 3 Wolf Frigates and It seems like the best weapon for the forward medium energy slot, I just cant seem to find them.

Welcome to the forum  :)

Heavy blasters are military restricted technology. There are three ways to aqcuire them that I know of.
You can buddy up with Tri-Tachyon until their military markets will sell them to you.
You might find one or two on the black market at Tri-Tachyon stations.
You can destroy Tri-Tachyon (and maybe some independent) fleets to salvage them.

Thanks :)

Just managed to find a pair on a tri-tachyon black market. I had been checking their military markets and not seen a single one.
