[TC] how do i fire my fragmentation bomb launcher?

[markbond]

Just picked up the Toucan Hauler derelict ship and it has a fragmentation bomb launcher installed. How the hell do it fire this thing? Right mouse button does nothing. L for launch does nothing. Do I need to buy ammo or something or am I just being dumb?

Any help?

Thanx

If it is in a turret, press F1 to scroll through turret views.
You might be interested to know the FBL is largely useless.
It is incredibly hard to hit things with it, and it often does not explode till it reaches max range.

decided to sell up the toucan haluer. Any ideas how or where i do this. Took it the to Argon Prime Shipyard but could not work out how to sell it. Can I only sell it at shipyards where is it made/sold?

Sell weapons / shields at equipment docks or military outposts.
You can sell the ship at a shipyard - but if you have any equipment onboard, you will only get half price for the equipment. So sell it elsewhere first

Any shipyard will take it but it is a rare ship. Can't be bought anywhere, if you want to replace it to get

then don't sell it!! You'll have to capture it next time.

You could leave it sat at a dock training marines.

Actually, it can probably be bought second-hand. I know the Iguana Vanguard can be.

I don't know whether you realise this, but you can't sell a ship you're currently sitting in. Otherwise, you can just sell it from the trade screen.

Also, the Frag Bomb Launcher is stupidly noisy, which makes its stupid weakness even more annoying...

[EmperorJon]

It's mainly psychological warfare, though not as much as those stupid cluster flaks...
Shame that sound can't travel in a total vacuum...

[Ezuku]

Yeah, psychological warfare all right. Shoot at somebody with it and they'll flee thinking you're shooting at them with flak.

Sadly, the AI's not smart enough (or too smart?) to do that...

FBL is the worse weapon in the game cause it's bugged or broken as well, sell every FBL you find.

Toucan Hauler is not for sale at shipyards but it's not the best TP, I wouldn't sell the Iguana Vanguard but sold the Toucan myself. A Boron Angel is much better though

[plawolf]

FBL is a good idea in theory that was royally screwed up on implementation. If they made it an ammo based weapon with a proximity fuse, then it would make a very interesting addition to the game. While they are at it, they should also tune down the volume of the explosions, thats just painful!
