Plasma Cannon
« on: January 25, 2016, 11:54:28 PM »

So I am level 52 now, and still cannot find a Plasma Cannon anywhere for my Apogee.

Tri-Tach military doesn't seem to ever stock it, anyone know where to find it?

There's a bug where while capital ships were made to require market size 5 instead of 6, weapons carried by capital ships still require size 6. It's been fixed for the next patch. Your best bet in this patch is the Eochu Bres black market, but it's very rare even there. You might as well get the Console Commands mod and addweapon yourself one, since it's unavailable due to a bug.

Thanks!

I actually found a pair of them in Jangala's Military Market (of all places) one time. Got'em sitting in my Asharu station storage now...

Jangala is a big market.  It can sell just about anything.  Hegemony have multiple large markets, and you can buy any weapon if you wait long enough.  Some other factions do not.

Hegemony is a very good faction to join.

Personally I made Jangala my base because it's at the center of the world, basically. At least in vanilla.

I have a commission with Hegemony and yet I have a Medusa, Tempest, Afflictor and Aurora that get regular use in my fleet! The power of black market buying and marine boarding! I even got to board an Astral (not that I'm using it what with fighters being ass).

I wish that was true for me in 0.7.1.  Ever since Black Market was changed to include more staple items, I have never seen restocks include unusual items like plasma cannons or Atropos.  I get more maulers, phase lances, pulse lasers, light assault guns, and the other usual suspects instead.  In other words, more of the same.

My game began in 0.7.1, and includes no mods (e.g., no SS+).
