The viking in omicron alpha has one. And a dark blossom cannon (l10)

The Viking has ten missiles, but no launcher.

But i could use them...........

maybe another wreck around that bit of the map then. the Kusari one with escorts in the nubula full of alien life forms, or the one on the other side of the warp hole that leads towards Kusari space. :o

Must have let Trent keep the last bounty I captured. Not surprising as he's only worth a $1!

im no longer playing discovery or rebalanced, im now sometimes online playing the void multilayer mod. it's a lot of fun, lots of nomad systems, fugitives who are just as lethal as any nomad as well!. tis cool.

would you want to degrade yourself by placing your own cryogenically frozen original up for sale for any high price as your the clone maybe?

You could also try jumping to Hokkaido from Chugoku. There are three Naval Forces Fighters near the Hokkaido -> Chugoku jump hole, and all three have Class 6 guns, if I remember correctly.

Should that be in some mod? Because it definitely isn't in vanilla.

There is a Freeport 1, though.

That's either Freeport 10 or Freeport 9. Freeport 1's in the Omega-3 system.

I went back to playing my cheat character and killed three transports. I also managed to actually finish off two Bounty Hunter Hammerheads using Ripper Mines. :D

I finally managed to get to Leon Base in Omega-41 and sold my Class 8 Kraken Turret for a Class 9 Salamanca Turret, which does a bit more damage at the expense of energy. Not that I care about the additional energy loss, anyway. My current gun configuration can take out any thing of heavy fighter class and below in just three hits. :drevil:

The life of a criminal isn't easy, though, but it certainly is much more rewarding if you can survive.

freeport 11 is in omicron delta, and it is not in vanilla. it's discovery, which has better open sp, imo

yeah, MOAR SHIPZ!!!!1
and you can do things in discovery that you can't in vanilla.
to quote you
is the discovery mod very different  from vanilla? I have been playing discovery instead of vanilla and it seems pretty much what I expected vanilla to be like. it's a little tough though.

Well, for one thing, you can't fly battleships in vanilla, nor do you have to worry about buying tractor beams and IDs. However, attacking the Nomads won't do you any good in the game, apart from the occasional one dropping a Nomad weapon. The Order, The Wild and Nomads are not factions you can work for. In addition, only certain bases and planets sell ships. Shipyards, for example, don't sell ships. And in the event where you land on a base or planet that sells ships, you will never see more than three ships for sale, especially in the Border Worlds or pirate bases.

Oh, and you can't skip the cutscenes either. :p

just stay away from battleships if you don't like them.

btw, should I get a Catamoran, a Barghest, a Sabre, or a Razor Claw? (discovery)
I like small maneuverable ships, but I want to explore nomad space, so I don't know if the Razor Claw or the Sabre have enough power to withstand that much punishment.

Well, I've tried flying the Barghest before, and I think that, manoeuvrability aside, it's probably the best small ship to fly.

I've gone ahead and re-installed Discovery 4.84 and am now trying out singleplayer. I'm Level 5 now and am about to meet Juni at Planet California Minor. I've also decided to equip my Defender with two Stalker Missile Launchers I salvaged from two Rogues.

Has anyone docked with the Liberty Rogue Destroyer in New London before?

you sure it isn't mollys? anyway, I meant open sp, not vanilla sp, open sp doesn't have a story. it's basically the same thing as after you beat the game. you can play vanilla sp on discovery but it's almost the same thing as in vanilla freelancer.

I'm getting bored of being mates with the criminal factions. Finding missing sleeper ships aside, it's just not worth the hassle. I might start again, be friendly with the Fuzz and do just enough to keep the criminals neutral so I can exploit some hot trade links.

If you're bored. Just turn on them. I'm pretty much hostile with everyone but the Outcasts and Bretonia through a fluke of some design. I think it's cos i keep kicking the snot outta kusari trade lanes.

I wonder how hard it would be to port some of the Freelancer effects; The 'real' planets and the asteroid field transitions espescially!

I do wish they could be connected some how; I'd love fly CAP for one of you lot on a trading run :P

Well I spent a fascinating  :rolleyes: couple o' hours edting Freelancer's table-style .binn files, basically removing the Player Level requirement for buying stuff. Just got to do ships and so far I haven't broken anything!

I might go crazy and do some ship balancing next.
