Im going Quad Beams on my ASP and then twin Drunk Launchers.

That sounds fun (two sets of them!)...

I would't mind throwing a set of those on my Anaconda... But I just don't think I can face another X weeks of mindless grinding to earn them. It's just sucking my will to live TBH it's so obviously cheap and vapid...

Go full MACROSS on an Anaconda.

You can have SIX on them on it.

Sure, only got X2 small beams to take down shields but the BLOT OUT THE SKY effect of missiles would be worth it.

Indeed

Just don't think I can take X weeks of "bending over" for Powerplay each time I want to buy these modules

Honestly, I just dont think I can face those moronic hours each week

Maybe I'll see if I can talk my mates into doing it with me so at least I'll have some company... But that risks making "unchallenging" into "laughably unchallenging".

Surely you only have to reach Rank 3 for one week, which doesn't involve much grind, and then you can buy as many as you like?

Hang on, have I got confused... To get a module you just need to get to tier 3 for one week?

Just found out the Advanced Accelerator only comes in large hard point flavour. Bit of a problem when you're flying an Imperial Courier. Gutted

Well I thought so. You have to be pledged for 4 but I think you only need to get the rank for the week before you want to buy them.

You need to be pledged for 4 weeks to get the module, but you only need to be rank 3 in the week when you actually buy the module, is what I think Malkov means.

Edit: Ninja'd by Malkov himself ^^

How can you have weapons from multiple powers on one ship?
Do I first sign up with one power, then buy the weapons and then defect to another power?
Can I keep then the weaopons I bought?

Is it possible to transfer the already bought weapons to another ship, as in selling them at a port, switching ships in the shipyard and then rebuying it? Or are they lost in the process?

nosscar · Jul 10, 2015

i am also wanting to know if weapons are still available to buy after leaving the power.
(after selling them first)

I believe it's been stated by the devs that the answer is no. Once you leave a Power you can hold onto what you have and rebuy them as part of insurance, but not buy new ones or sell them and rebuy them later.

If it doesn't actually work that way, it's no doubt a bug that will be reported

indeed, you cannot buy the PP weapon once you have defected...though I have actually not checked...who wants to buy again a Cytoscrambler anyway

it was also tested that if you keep them on a ship, sell them after you have defected, you can still buy them back. I have 3 Eagles parked in Harma fully equipped with Cyto...now if FD could fix these...

What is the cost of the Pack-Hound?

Wishblend · Jul 16, 2015

I am trying to get the prismatic shields generator, I have been pledged for 5 weeks now with last week having 4 weeks pledged with 863 merits.

I just can't find where to buy this module.

Do I have to do it in a certain order?

How do I get the pp modules?

I found the shields at the same place I was docked -Titius station at cemiess.
Although I gotta say not worth it, double the weight and 150% power usage makes them useless to me, not to mention the 150 mil price tag for a 7A version. I didn't see any of the other powers weapons get the same treatment,eg imperial hammer railguns use less power and are the same weight as their counterparts.

I did the 750 merits just before the end of the week and it seemed to take a couple of days to upgrade my rank but when it happened they seemed to be available at all the stations in that PP area.

Ok, I might leave them then.

What a waste, I was hoping that they would be better shields with smaller stats.
