Fight rank and gamma kyon emitters

Post by pref » Thu, 27. Dec 12, 17:18

Does anyone know at what fight rank these guns start to drop? Some earlier posts seem to suggest there is a connection.

I decided to equip the deca no matter how useless it is =)

Edit: i'm at warlord right now

There is no relation to ranks and drops, unlike with bails. Its pretty much just random.

That went easy, swarm missiles really seem to increase drop rate.

Does the deca actually use these weapons by the way?

I jumped it into a xenon sector hoping to see some flashy lasers, but it never happened..
The deca just kept turning around, never fired a shot :D

You didn't forget to give the Deca turret commands, did you?

Deca doesn't have perfect coverage of it turrets. If you look there is a big blind spot on the "bottom" and back of the ship.

Deca can fire its guns BTW
1940s - Various "computers" are "programmed" using direct wiring and switches. Engineers do this in order to avoid the tabs vs spaces debate.

Wow, those blind spots are huge - deca managed to keep all enemies in there for 3 reloads. Now i restarted the game and seems to work.

Probably my dragon does more damage with EBCs installed, but looks awesome :D
