M7M Split Cobra trouble

Post by Dogmeat55 » Fri, 7. Jun 13, 04:39

I'm some what new to the game, I started playing Albion Prelude a few weeks ago and just got my first Capitol ship the M7M Split "Cobra",

I'm having trouble finding some "Alpha Flak Artillery Array " or whatever the flak guns are that fit on the Cobra.
I have tried looking at most of the Split "equipment Docks" for them but no luck so far, was wondering where can they be found or if I'm just having really bad luck. I think I wasted 3-4 hours just looking around for them lol. :cry:

any help would be great!

Have you tried the encyclopedia? If you have been in a sector where they are available then they should be in your encyclopedia. Alternatively you could try looking on Roguey's website as it is an excellent source of info. However, as you only have rear turrets on the Cobra for missile defence, I personally would probably not use FAA.

O? what would you recommend over the FLAK? I figured it would be better to use against fighters and Missiles.

I keep forgetting about the encyclopedia thanks, But I'm even more confused now. Roguey's website says the Cobra can use the " Flak Artillery Array", but the Encyclopedia in game doesn't have the "Split" listed as being able to use it, I'm so lost now lol. :?

Both the flak weapons are not made by the split, you need to get FAAs from the Teladi. They have a heavy weapons station in the Teladi sector Seizwell.

Open your ship command menu, and scroll down. You'll see turret commands. Since you're in a capital it has both Fight software built in, so you have all the turret commands available. Lower class ships need the software before they'll have the full array of commands available.
