Paranid Prime

does not have the High Yield Factory, so where can I buy these from? I DESPERATELY need some of these. Thanks.

i know some argon eq docks have them but they are only in small numbers

go arround to all the ship yards and find a firestorm fact if there is one that would probably be the best alternative

Unfortunately where one is suppose to be, it is not (High Yield Factory). The one equipment dock has zero quantity. Maybe I'm not far enough into the game to have free access to them?

all I want to do is destroy a damn pirate base!

Thanks for the help though.

P.S. Yep, I found a factory at one of the shipyards, but I'm sorta getting low on credits after my Centaur purchase. I still need to buy a Dream Farm and I want to get me an Ellie in about 17 more renown points. Decisions...decisions...

that centour should be all you need for a pirate base

even if you dont want that a lot of pirates drop heavy missles (dont remember the name usually bout 26k a pop and do 1g in shield dammage) that are free

Hammerheads seem to be more readily available than Firestorm.

I used my Centaur to attack the PB with 8 HEPT and did not even dent it's shields. I guess maybe those are not enough, but I figured I could do a little damage to it's shields. I just finished placing a Firestorm Torpedo Factory, so as soon as some become available, I'm going to give those a try. If this PB is bugged (invincible), then I'll have to script it out.

Could always use mass drivers, don't have to worry about shields that way.

...okay, I'm sorta ticked off now. I spent the whole evening getting this Firestorm Factory up and running. I finally get one produced (35 minute prep time) and head out to do some damage to the Pirate Base. Well, as I've suspected the whole time, the damn things bugged

! Now I didn't expect to destroy it with one Firestorm, but to not even budge the shields??? So, now I need to change tactics...how do I go about scripting this damn thing out of my game? The PB is in sector Bad Debt. Thanks.

There is a destruct hotkey script there, it's probably what you're after, if not try on the scripting forum.

Yea, that's what I was talking about (PB-Pirate Base). Nothing I do will destroy this base. Unfortunately, I will have to script it out of existence.

Well you could try to take it out OOS, even M3 might be able to do that. (and isn't there atleast one Pirate Base that IS indestructible, which one your tryign to take out?)

if i need to kill a pirate base i also use fire storm missiles (since i make em myself) it takes 5 missiles to kill it

leloa · Post by **leloa** » Sat, 2. Sep 06, 15:14

szuur · Post by **szuur** » Sat, 2. Sep 06, 15:48

Hammerheads or Firestorms? Because I swear hammerhead facts cannot be bought in Vanilla.

hammerhead missiles are actualy terran missiles so no whonder u can't buy fac's for em.
