For 3 0 can we see experimental weapons for sale at starports?

Is there any reason these are only available at ground bases and not starports?

If not can we at least see them at starports (if not in the bubble can we at least have them in the pleiades)?

You have to buy Horizons. Horizons content.

Hopefully you already have it.

Actually you can buy them in Shinrata Dezhra system Jameson Memorial Starport. So now I'm just confused. I bought mine there.

I have horizons, its just a nightmare having to travel over 400 light years in a 14ly jump range ship just to pick up weapons which should be available locally.

Use this tool to search and find the closest location.

Or build a 50 light year jumping DBX Explorer - go buy your weapons, store them, then transfer them to where your big ships are.
The DBX has a handy C3 hardpoint allowing you to buy AX C3 weapons.

Would still mean i would have to make 4 trips to and from the bubble to get weapons.

There are plenty of stations and bases in the pleiades but not a single one sells the C3 weapons.

No you make one round trip (assuming you have a DBX)

Buy the AXC3's one at a time, because you have one C3 Hardpoint, store them one at time. Then jump back to the Pleiades with no weapons because they are stored.

Then transfer the stored weapons to the Outfitting location wherever you are in the Pleiades.

Easy I have done it.

A 50ly runaround ship like a DBX is essential not to go insane in Elite.
If you have the credits go everywhere in the DBX and transfer your big ships to where you are.

So i have to spend most of my play time playing other games whilst i wait for weapons to transfer just because the weapons aren't available where they are needed?

I didn't write the game, take my advice or not.

Hell, build a 60ly Anaconda and deliver the weapons in person.

You can easily find AXC2 weapons very close to Maia. Also Experimental Remote Release Flak is in the Pleiades.
AXC3's seem to be in the Bubble.

You can find Tech Brokers that offer new weapons like the shock cannon or flechette launcher.

You now pin a single blueprint from each engineer to recreate it at most starports. Like overcharged power plant from Marco, dirty drives from Palin, etc.

Only drawback to pinned blueprints is that you cannot get experimental effects. Both of the blueprints I mentioned above have very attractive thermal reduction options.

I'd really love to not only see weapons at the tech broker, but other stuff as well. I'm a bit sad about the focus on weaponry in the game. :(

Yep. The game actually boots you to desktop while modules are transferring, preventing you from taking any missions, visiting planets or engaging in any other gameplay.

My plan for the play session was to kill goids, not fly around doing pointless things which are either bugged or just a nightmare to do.

If we can get the C2 i don't really see why FD haven't made the C3 available.

I understand that for the C2 but not the C3. The C3 weren't from a CG.

Hmm, digging into it you're both correct and incorrect. The 5th Aegis trade CG was the one that unlocked C3s:
https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/391800-Fifth-Aegis-Initiative-Trade

However, it was bugged so Frontier gave us the rewards for tier 1 even though technically we didn't do enough to unlock it even if the bugs were fixed.

Personally I feel with the increased Thargoid threat there could be another CG or two to up production and distribution to make it more available.... How cool would a reverse CG be, pick up this cargo at this station and distribute. More credits for longer distances like rare goods and each station/outpost/base can take only 10,000T of deliveries before being "full". You cannot dump or abandon the material but as soon as you pick it up you get the CG reward credit for doing it.
It'd be something different anyway.

Now i remember how we got the C3s.

But still my original point still stands, it is a huge pain to try to get weapons to fight the thargoids close by.

What i and probably others wouldn't want is another CG, the last ones had unreasonably high amounts of goods required.

What i would like to see is them added to our outfitting like the new experimental modules or have at least one station in the pleiades sell them.

Landis Hub in 49 Arietis has C3 AX Missile Fixed, and C3 AX Multicannon Fixed and Turreted. Dunyach Point in Ngobe has the C3 AX Missile Turrets.

Or were you looking for something else?

I was looking in the pleiades and a few systems surrounding it. Only found the C2s.
