Usually the one willing to fired it (and also does) during a dogfight with multiple opponents. Yes, reload and try again.

most pirate M3's have hammerheads, I'm surprised you haven't gotten any yet. I just started a new game (bankrupt assassin and lovin it) and I got a hammerhead off the first pirate M3 I killed

Hammerheads show up as "Unknown Object" most often unless you have enough Argon Rep to get some of the terran weapons info from the BBS.

:lol:

At this point Boris, if you do have that pile of unknown objects, try firing one at a Xenon P in a P.Patrol, and wait to see what happens. Just make sure you are at least 10 km away when it hits.

Without the Weapons info BBS message and purchase, all special missiles are Unknown Objects. There are a few of these including the Sting, Needle and Hammerhead missiles. They can still be fired and you differentiate them by their sell prices. The Hammerhead is the big bomb, while the others are faster and lighter.

Only after buying the Weapons info do they get properly labelled.

Name regular ships that can launch Kha'ak ordnance. Well, you might fly a ship that cannot launch Hammer either.

Offer of 80k at Equipment Dock is quite clear indicator of what you carry.

Xenons have Hammers too.

I haven't seen any BBSs where you can buy missiles.
What do the messages look like?

You can not buy missiles in the BBS, only the info to identify some of them (which is not needed to launch them by the way).
Right on commander !

Apparently they are smart enough to build them.
And wealthy enough to fire them at some measly fighter like yours. =)

Actually, the UNA (United Nations of America) sells the Hammerheads to the pirates for profitsss, similar to the workings of America (F*** Yeah!) today. 8)

O hi, I guess we Americans do sell missiles to aliens and space pirates.

The only problem is sell or kill with them.
Mostly killing Xenon is fun :twisted:

I've found that if i take me trusty M7 to LooMankstratts Legacy and just keep bashing pirates until i get bored, there's always a massive amount of stuff for me to collect. I always seem to come away with anywhere between 1-10 of the little blighters :)

Add ten or so laser towers at the south gate and you can pretty much occupy a TS full time to collect the goods!

I just leave the old M7 down there with the towers and my TS equipped with a jumpdrive then (in the words of the hitcher) go about my business. :split:
