Mass Driver Ammo question
I have a Mass Driver strapped to the rear turret of my Mamba Raider...pretty slick craft. In the Ship Command Console, I visually confirmed that the Rear Turret is programmed to Missile Defence (MD).
So, trying to be cautious with spending my pennies, I bought 57 "ammo packs" -- or 57 Mass Driver Ammo items...whatever you want to call it.
I've taken down many a ship and my MD has taken out many a missile but in all the hours of gameplay since buying the ammo, the Mass Driver Ammo count in my hold has reduced by 1 measely item -- total is 56 MD ammo items now.
So, either this is a glitch (at v1.3 btw) and I'll fight merrily on my way or each Ammo Pack or MD Ammo item contains "multiple shots".
I can definitely hear the gun firing and see the damage its doing to the ships that are behind me.
Has anyone else seen this oddity or is it such that you have like 100 shots per 1 MD Ammo item in the hold? Does that make sense?

Accturally 200 shots per pack, so you can live on arund 60 for a decent time period even if you have 4MDAragon47 wrote:I have a Mass Driver strapped to the rear turret of my Mamba Raider...pretty slick craft.

There are 200 rounds in one ammo pack
We may need to modify the expected collision between our galaxy and Andromeda...

Each ammo pack contains, I think, 200 rounds. So you only need a few packs for your rear turret. 57 packs is enough to take down an M2!
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

1 ammo : 1 shot would make the MD a very expensive gun, i used to have 4 on my nova but they were destroying craft too quickly for the pilots to bail. still have one i think on the rear turret even though rear turrets have yet to work (come on ego, theres been plenty of patches that have failed to fix it).Aragon47 wrote:Wow, thanks for en masse replies.

All this time I actually fooled myself into thinking 1 Ammo item = 1 shot. I thought: that's a bloody waste, then?
Glad I'm wrong. Waaaaaaaaay wrong. Cheers, all.
