Can you actually get the Phased Array Laser Cannon?
I've noticed there's a weapon the Split M7s can use called the Phased Array Laser Cannon but I've NEVER seen a ship carrying/using these weapons.
Are they any good, and if so how would I go about getting some (or are they like SPARE_LASER_01 in that you probably weren't meant to see them?)
P.S. has anyone else noticed that from the Panthers cockpit there are some lights that form a grinning face? (See for yourself, It's a large image so don't load it if you have a bad connection.)

PALC is a white beam weapon, useful as an anti-fighter weapon.
In TC they appear early in the Final Fury Mission.
There are rumours about them in AP.

PALCs are useless at maximum range, their effective range isn't much more than FLAKs.EspritFort wrote:But PALC is pwettier and has a higher range, although I don't care for the latter

This is totally wrong. They might be less efficient against fighters at maximum range (but still will wear them down eventually), but there is no range performance degradation for M6 and higher. They are quite handy on a Panther against capital ships and totally rock against missile spam. With new performance improvements they manage to handle even ghoul missile spam sometimes.NeverSnake wrote:]

I have a script checking all ships in the game for PALC and PBC and it shows no ships except mine where I hacked them in. It doesn't look like any PALC or PBC were generated in my game.
That's probably a reference to me - I'd mentioned having seen them on a Split Military Panther Raider once. I've yet to see any since however, so that was either a rare fluke/bug or I misread it (or was otherwise simply mistaken).ConCorDian wrote:there are people who have claimed to have seen RRF ships using them [...]

someone else mentioned he found 1 in a pirate sector.... catra and several other asked him where.... turns out he didnt even knew where he was -.-. as catra said... figures a noobie would find something like that and not know where he got it from lolVyrebird wrote:That's probably a reference to me - I'd mentioned having seen them on a Split Military Panther Raider once.
