getting more starburst cannons

[space muppet]

hi all! i'm having problem getting more ssc's and i remember reading long time ago about cloning weapons? can some one explain me how it's done?

X: What the weapon is
Y: Number of
Z: What type of ship


1. Take at least "Y" (one minimum) of weapon "X" to an EQ that sells weapon "X" and is within range of a shipyard.

2. Sell "Y" weapon "X" at EQ

3. Buy "Y" number of ship "Z" at shipyard

4. At the outfitting stage buy "Y" of weapon "X" for all "Z" ships

5. Rinse & repeat as much as you want

Thus if you sold 3 SSC and bought 10 ships, then bought 3 SSC at the outfitting stage, you would then have 30 SSC (since 3 would go to all ships bought). This can be done with any given weapon that can be bought at a given EQ (IBL/PBG/PALC/Kyon(?) cannot be done).

Yes I'm quoting myself.

Slight variation which doesn't require buying as many ships (in case you care) is to only buy two ships. You then do as suggested. You get 4 of the item (assuming the dock only stocks 2). Sell 1. Dock gets 2 back in stock and you have 2 less in the cargo holds. Buy those 2 and you get 2 more in each hold (ie you just bought 4 when you only sold 2). Repeat until cargo holds are full!

This is slightly quicker if you want lots of an item (eg cloning missiles).
