[TC] An idea for getting Incendiary bomb launchers

[anneking]

The pirate IBL fabs don’t last long cos the military wipe them out.

But the IBL fab in Weavers Tempest is pretty safe from attack, only you can’t dock (so I understand).

Is this a rep problem ?

When I re-directed my Xenon hub, there was a Xenon Q raiding party trapped inside. Now supposing you re-directed the hub to Weavers Tempest with a load of Xenon inside, let them out, and then blasted them to oblivion. Would you get the rep to dock and buy these IBLs ?

look for mission light bulbs and station hacking

Only snag with that is, Weavers Tempest is more than 3 sectors from corp space. Hacking only works up to a max of 3 IIRC.

Definitely no lightbulbs showing when I was down there ! And besides can you COMM a station that’s hostile and take a mission ?

Weavers Tempest has 2x IBL fabs. Both very low on resources, stock=1 in each fab. They could do with the biz.

There must be a way to get rep with these guys? else why give them 2x IBL fabs. Their whole empire was little more than this !

I was lucky to get a Pirate base on Or*** Storm and it did not help much. The IBL fac turned blue but still did not allow me to dock. Now I am trying to cap their TLs in hope that some of the IBLs they have will remain.

It's possible (got a few myself that way) but, since they don't have many on board to start with, they often get trashed while boarding. Better target IMO are military M7s - they're often loaded to the gills with IBLs so much better chance of getting some of them intact.

In my game the pirates at LooMankStrat's Legacy are red, but let me land (so long as I continue to not kill any of them in that sector I think) The only other IBL base in the galaxy is controled by the Yaki, and they won't let me land.

The IBL and PBL factories there still churn out weapons, but I have to supply the materials. Space Fuel never gets stocked on its own, and rarely does ore. I have a Falcon Hauler parked there to quickly buy them before NPCs do.

So far my Panther has all 6 forward guns with IBLs, and I have 2 more stashed away for later.

There is also a PBL factory in Maelstrom, but it is so far out of the way I never go to it.

the pirate base in loomankstrats legacy had a station hack mission which allowed me to hack the ibl fab there and it produces weapons regularly i bought em with a freight drone and discovered a useful bug
