PALC? Have 4 HEPTS instead

Post by anneonemous » Sat, 26. Sep 09, 17:07

Bah,

I assume the crate I'm looking for is adjacent to the data recorder?

If so, I'm the (un)lucky recipient of 4 hepts- very disappointing.

Oh well, all hail the RNG.

Yes, sounds like the right crate - there's an equal chance of PALC, HEPT or microchips.

it's ok mate...PALC are moderate at best, at lest HEPTs will get some use.

Trying to get those PALCs as well in my 2nd game, I know it's not such a deal but it's all about curiosity.
Just starting wondering if chance to get it is somewhat related to combat rank
Any thought? :gruebel:

It's just random.

PALCs arent all that. They are not even that strong, just unique.

There are only a few ships that can mount them, and there are only 2 in the whole universe, if you are lucky. I have mine mounted on my Panther, doesnt seem to be anymore effective than conventional weapons.

Actually there is a third ship that can mount them and it's not of Split origin.

There are only 2 PALCs in the whole universe, if you are lucky. I was not referring to the number of ships that can mount them.

And really, the total number of ships that can use them doesn't matter because there are only 2 PALCs.

Only 2 yes, unless you have access to an old exploit. In which case you can have 10, 100, 1000, or as many as you want. :D

But the game version has to be pre 1.4.

In a thread about kitting out an Agamemnon someone claimed that Xenon rarely drop PALCs or PBCs. I wonder if that could be true

I've never seen an Xenon vessel with those weapons mounted or in the cargo bay upon scanning, but the unvierse always has surprises in store.
