I have 3 large class 3 hardpoints. I have fitted 2 class 3 burst lasers, and 1 class 2 multicannon. Can I buy a class 3 multicannon for this hardpoint?
i also have 2 class 2 multicannons on my medium hardpoints.

I've been keeping an eye out for them for about a week, but it seems large weapons are limited to all 3 types of lasers, fragment cannons, and cannons.

That link doesn't tell you crap. Look at plasma accelerator. If you believed the wiki you'd think only class 2 exists.

I don't know where class 2 multicannons would be found but I don't see why they wouldn't exist. My guess would be a high tech world would have them.

You made it to a shipclass that fits large guns and havent figured that out yet yourself ? Got some "lucky" credits recently ? If not, then take a look here: http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Weapons

Someone sounds bitter.

That wiki sucks, badly. I haven't found class 3 multicannons yet for my Python, Jake. I'm rocking lasers instead. And honestly, they kick serious butt. Three class 3 burst lasers drop a cobra from 100% to 0% in about 8 seconds.

Well, not bitter at all as I´m only 2 days away from a Python myself but when someone made it to the 2nd biggest ship without knowing that there are no large ACs in this game and the lots of fresh "miracle billionairs" popping up the last days you start to wonder...

thats because I was completely focused on trading. I had a rough idea of gun types, but with no need to look into them in detail, as a trader I didn't need them.

That's a foolish thought. Unless you're really into the meta, how would you know? You can't see weapons beyond the hardpoint class you already own, so it's impossible in-game to know where class 3 weapons are until you have class 3 hardpoints.

First off congrats on the new ship. But if you've not done much combat, may I recommend you spend some time in a Viper getting to grips with the basics before putting 57 Mil on the line taking her out fighting.

I've a feeling there's a lot of traders in shiny new Pythons that are going to get them scrapped by combat veterans in Cobra's, Vipers and ASPs.

Thanks for the advice.
iv done a fair bit of combat. Every now and then, when the trading grind got too boring, I went off in my cobra for a good fight. But your right, if I come up against a human fighter in a Python or similar, I'll have a good attempt at fighting him, if I get the crap kicked out of me, then I'll run, if not then iv got insurance. Hey , can't just pick on easy targets huh?
i have killed a few Pythons, but they were npc's.

No, there are no Class 3 (or higher) multi cannons.

I spent forever looking for them for my Clipper, but they are non-existant.

If you want kinetic weapons for your Class 3 hardpoints then you need to install railguns or cannons.

Personally I went with Class 3 Gimbal Burst Lasers and Class 2 Gimbal Multi Cannons (for my Clipper).

Thanks mate. I think your right, as iv been looking for a couple of days. Good to know I can use a railgun or cannon though.

I picked up some unusual weapons (low heat beam) close to my spawn point when I was in my cobra early days. This was in Gamma.
I have read since, that these weapons have been removed or moved.
I'm now back at my original spawn/birth place looking for the same port, although I cant remember the system name, I do remember the rough area. Its going to take some checking, but they sell anything good, I will let peeps know.

I think they've all been removed, or if someone has found the rare station that sells them they aren't telling.

Most likely this kind of stuff is no longer in the game, otherwise you could buy it from founders (Jameson Memorial ). I went there some other day to pick up and outfit my new ride and I didn't noted any exotic weapons for sale. There are quite few options for class 3 hardpoints and even less for class 4. For class 3 there are Pulse, burst and beam lasers in fixed, gimballed and turreted versions, and kinetics are only cannon and fragment cannon. Also turreted, fixed and gimballed. I see Plasma accelerator as well, but some say it is totally useless for real combat, as there is very little chance to hit anything with it. It just too slow.
