question on hud / weapons list
just one main question for now - if you'll be so good.
I've figured out how to get the javelin missile launcher installed and also a razor mine dropper. After I launched in to space the two new weapons show in my hud weaps list but were blue/gray. I clicked them both and they went to green. I think that when they are green they will fire at intervals when the main weaps are fired but when they are blue/gray they have to be fired with the Q and E keys? Is that right?
I have got a manual - there is a 20 page pdf file on the CD but it only covers real basic stuff and doesn't cover half the stuff that I keep wanting to know, some can be figured out with a bit of experimentation but it can be a bit of a pain not being able to find out anything from the manual. sheesh, it's not that I'm being lazy.
FYI, I restarted and have now got myself bit better prepared for mission 5. I have the Defender with a class 3 shield in place of the crappy one the comes with it. I can't find class 4 shields listed at any of the stations in my nav map / base list. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve my weapons loadout then let me know, I currently have the following.
I've got mounted:
3 Adv. Stunpulse Class 3
2 Raphiel Class 4 (looted)
1 Stunpulse turret Class 2
Imp. Countermeasure Dropper
Torpedo slot empty
Razor Mine Dropper
Not mounted (spare):
2 x Javelin Missile Launcher (looted)
2 x Lavablade Class 3 (looted)
1 x Pyros Type 1 Class 4 (looted)
2 x HellFlurry Mk 1 Class 4 (err you guessed)
Ammo:
Javelin missile x 45 (looted)
C/measure flares x 30
razor mines x 20
I've taken the Javelin launcher out atm until I get to see Juni, as I'm in the Texas system and I get jumped practically every time I dock with a trade lane or hit a waypoint. Good job I'm not paranoid. Is it just that my rep is bad with all the bad guys or that Texas is a generally lawless place or both or what?
I think I saw somewhere that certain weaps are not compatible with each other, is there a list anywhere of what goes with what?
Oh and I've got about 70k in cash from doing assass. and combat missions but as I can't get jump access I can't buy the Barracuda that I wanted. I did find a jump hole and I paid the bounty hunters ('cus they really really like me) for info on another 2 but even though one goes to Cortez it won't let me dock - is this because of my rep with someone?
Great game by the way
TIA.
