Oh how I long for a PBG or 6

Anyone got any tips for what to cap that will heighten the chance of getting PBG's?

I already hunt them as it is by freight scanning but I've not found a particular place to go looking that seems any better than anywhere else.

All my PBG forges upped and ran away before I could even get a ship docked at it to lock the station down in my game :(

I've seen HCPs carry PBG. They never use it so you have a decent chance of getting it even if you destroy the HCP. I'd capture it, tho.

Piarate blastclaw's and Nova Raiders.
Some of them can't bail fast enough! :)

Race weapon transporters are the only freighters i've seen carrying them and these ships are very rare, i think 2 per race. They buy up all the equipment that isn't normally bought at docks or military outposts - tractor beams, FAA, dragonflies etc
You could buy some PBG, forges are in

Half the m3's in the game have PBG but getting them from a ship bail is rare...very rare

Agreed, but I now have more than 40 and half pf those came from bailing ships on station defence missions (one had 6!!!!!), and another 4 from a blastclaw that bailed.(actually I only fought blastclaws once while they were escorting a Brigantine and out of 4 the first one bailed really fast.)
