Codenamed Weapons

[Fox]

just wondering if the wrecks evre regenerate there cargo or its a one time deal??? i myself have 2xguardians and 2xblue blaze's as well as those tizoa del cid shield eaters :) but i was helping 2 of my m8s other night to look for some of these weapons and they were all taken???? i was wondering if the wrecks actually regenerate there cargo or they r indeed a 1 time only deal, in which case can we petition for a scheduled server restart every night say around 6am???? so it gives everyone a chance to get them :)
anyways just my thinking

they only come back once the server is restarted, which is often tbh because it crashes a lot, there must me a few ppl hording massive amounts of them :)

If you see me on the server, I have quite a few classifieds for sale :)

if you see me message me and i'll pay good 'HARD' robbed money for weapons

[Fox]

hehehe the weapons aint for me, a m8 of mine has been searching for them for an age with no luck, i already got my payload of them..... sayin that the game is getting a little easy now online might trade my codename's off and get a Rhineland Valk for a bit of a challange, might be more interesting knowing that there is a chance those bounty hunters in gamma might be able to kill me :)

[ice-blue]

[DeadMan]

well i got my weapons. jus need to try them out. thx loopy for the trade.

[LoopyJuice]

No probs guys, if anyone else needs any nomads then i will go and get some more :)

[[BoB]Nexus]

I can get Nomads as well ;)

[Fox]

nomad weapons :( h8 the damn things yeah they do loadsa damage and use no energy but everyone has them tbh i prefer being unique :)

btw if u want loadsa nomad weapons next time i r online (Fox) gimme a bell and we will go nomad hunting :P never tire of owning the little buggers tbh

Fox.

[DeadMan]

same thing from me. i've just starting hunting them and taking there weapons so for the right price i will sell. i'm in the northern unknown system.

I currently fly and eagle, and i have found it necessary to use a pair of nomads, otherwise the power drain is too large when using 4xcodenames

2xTizonas
2xDIAMONDBACKS
2xNomad Blasters
1xSkyblast B turret

Seems to work quite nice

[[BoB]Nexus]

Interestingly, the Nomad Cannon does more hull damage per second that any other weapon in the game.

[LoopyJuice]

I am flying an eagle with
2xTizona Del Cid's
2xJade
2xSilverfire
1xSkyblast B turrett

I can get LOADS of nomad weapons but i just don't bother, i like these :)

[kurtrocks]

see me in the server i got lvl 10 weps and lots of em from when the server crashed then came back then crashed then came back

lol

[DarkWing_2450]

The nomads help balance the power drainage tho - large numbers of powerful weapons is a big drain - so I have tried to work a balance :-

*Tizona Del Cyd
*Kraken MkII
*2x Nomad Blasters
*Nomad Cannon
*Onyx Diamond Back

:- Gives a balance of shield killing, hull damage and keeps you firing that bit longer.

Personally I don't see the point in the codenames. Like the man says Nomads do more damage than anything else. Bit of a shame really as they're so easy to get. I'm half tempted to try my Eagle with a full load of Skyblast B's tho. I'd like to see you dodge 8.33 fire rate with 750 ( or is it 700 ? ) m/s shot speed :)

[AcidUK]

Ive done that Saj, its great fun filling your screen with them, unforutantely they consume too much energy to be a practical solution :<

[Saj]

awwwwwwww

[DarkWing_2450]

Well dont quite drop the idea yet saj- balance the drainage with say.. 2 nomad weapons - blasters for higher fire rate.

Beautiful thing being, that skyblasts are perfectly suited also, for knocking down positron sheilding ( the brigidine )

[LoopyJuice]

Hehe i've done 6xskyblast b's and a skyblast b turret on my sabre, very pretty but gets pretty boring because they look pretty boring and eat energy FAST

[Saj]

I don't really like mixing weaps of different shot velocities, mucks up your predictive aiming point.

[DarkWing_2450]

has a few drawbacks maybe, but im always tweaking to find a good shield blasting, hull crippling combo, but still gives me the low power usage, so far mine works well.

[LoKi]

When i first got my Eagle i loaded it out with Nomads and 2 lvl 8 guns with a kraken turret hardly any energy drain but it looked and sounded boring so now i have:
1xTizona del Cid
1xWyrm Type 2
2xCerberus
2xNomad Cannon
1xSyblast B
Looks good but sounds even better :D
And they work pretty well up against pretty much anything so far

[DarkWing_2450]

yeah mate, you have got there, a kind of mixture - tizonas for sheild-dropping, krakens are pretty damn good in thier own right - - high output codenames and a quick turret - balanced by the 0 drain of the nomads - buying an advanced thruster also helps the weapons recharge too - since it puts less drain when your boosting around

.,;{---~* Predator Core *~---};,.

[Saj]

I'm mounting 2 Tizona with 2 Nom Blasters and 2 Nom blasters. Wondering if 2 Tizonas are perhaps overkill for the shield dropping tho? Still it's nice when you're firing away and you just know the guy on the receiving end has hammered the 'f' key at least 3 times in one pass. Oh and Skyblast B turret as well, not that it gets used much.

[DeadMan]

i've got 2 tizona, 1 guardian, 3x nomand cannons and a skyblast B turret but i'm gonna chance 1 of the tizona's to add more hull damage.

[LoopyJuice]

I am now using:

2xTizonas Del Cid level 9s
4xNomad Blaster level 10s
1xSalamanca level 9 turret
1xSunslayer torp laucher
1xRipper mine launcher
1xAdv Countermeasure Dropper

They are all 4.00 refire which is nice and they use sod all energy while dishing out a serious punch, as demonstrated in the private Pred Core training earlier, i took out everyone at least once i my sabre with the above loadout (even those buggers in nippy eagles) and poor shaggy in the sabre got a serious whupping whenever he launched :), i can usually take anyone out in one pass if my sunslayer hits :) and it usually does... be scared...

[DeadMan]

i know all about ur torpeados when we had that fun scrap a few days ago and he does get u with torpeados!
