Weapons questions

[Alpha November]

Does anyone know if you can get cl3 multi-cannons? I have F2 multi-cannons in cl3 slots and I was wondering if cl3 multi-cannons exist in the game or not?

Also; has anyone seen any of the rare weapons like overcharged lasers since release? Perhaps they're keeping them back for mission rewards or something.

Thanks for reading

didnt find cl3 multicannons - but there are gimballed beam lasers (e.g. at czernovale) - if you got a clipper maybe you want only one of these and fit another gun at the other turret as they have an incredible thermal load - i played around adding a c3 cannon but as there are no gimballed versions it needs training to hit something with them...

since release i have never seen a modified weapon

if anyone has informations about c3 weapons i would appreciate that

Agreed; I find myself with a pointlessly under-sized gimballed C2 Multi-cannon on my Imperial Clipper, making it actually easier killing Anacondas with an Eagle than with this barn-door-sized target. (Please refrain from turning this thread into a 'you shouldn't be able to take on an anaconda so easily' discussion).

It would be great seeing some more weapon varieties in e.g. High Tech systems.

Thanks, I appreciate the replies. I'd like to find some cl3 multis mainly because I find multis to be an enjoyable weapon to use - that way the bullets splatter across the opposing ship is (IMO) the most satisfying weapons effects in the game at the moment. It would be great if they expanded all weapon types with some variations that helped/hindered specific combat circumstances.

to i get this correctly? Even if you have Large or Huge sized Weapon Placeholders on your ship you can only equip medium sized because no one has found C3's or higher yet?

There are cl3 other weapon types, I've seen cannons, frag cannons, some laser types and something else (I forget). Some of them are fixed-only, some are quite close range, some seem better against big ships and have limited use against small ships. I was looking for bigger multis as they seems to be at least average in usefulness against everything. They have reasonable range, fixed and gimballed, good against small ships and average against large ships. What I'm really looking for is a cl3 all-rounder.
