Weapons Question - Answered

[JakeSG]

So, my latest character is an independent Mercenary flying an IMG Gunboat. I'm equipping four IMG Gunboat Turrets, and considering purchasing two missile turrets.

One of the two pilots is Brettonian, so I was thinking Brettonian missile turrets, but IMG are enemies with BMM, and BMM are allies with Brettonia Armed Forces, etc. Not a problem is it? - Answered

Also, where do I find these things? I know they're loaded on a Battleship somewhere, but I've forgotten which one.

Edit - And another, how many people would your average Gunboat take to pilot? These two aren't going to need steroids to keep up, are they? -Answered

I dont see a problem, your ID doesnt restrict what weapons you can have. Byut if your still unsure id ask the admins.

I've 4 in my gunboat.

Captain/Navigator
Pilot/Gunner
Radar Officer
Engineer

Regarding the guns, I would personally shy away from Bretonian turrets. Due to the IMG's relationship with the Zoners, however, I wouldn't see a problem with Zoner GB turrets, which are quite good.

I dont think zoners have missile turrets, though. Really, bretonian would be 'ok' but somewhat controversial. Other than that all you've got available is basic missile turrets, which arent bad but arent that good either.

Now, if you contact me privately I can arrange some missions for your character, in-RP, and as reward get you some order missile turrets. IMG fight the outcasts and are sort of allied with the corsairs, so the order would be on decent terms with them - and posted RP about deals with the order would probably be acceptable for the use of order turrets on your ship, so long as you limit it to just two at most - and use either zoner or IMG turrets for the other 4 hardpoints.

As for crew, I generally say - depending on the specific ship - around 4-10 crew members for a gunboat. Some gunboats would definitely take more - like the kusari explorer, bretonian gunboat, or corsair gunboat, which are all larger ships or are in deep space for extended periods of time without the ability to dock for supplies. For those 3 I'd say more like 10-20 crew members.

Zoner GB

Zoner GB

Read the post dude, he's looking for missile turrets. Zoners have normal gunboat turrets but they do not have their own missile turrets.

Right now I think the only missile turrets available are...
-Liberty
-Rheinland
-Kusari
-Bretonia
-The Order
-Blood Dragons
-Basic missile turrets (available to all)

Located and purchased.

Thanks for the offer, Tenacity. I'll see what comes up.

IMG GB is sold on - planet Kurile, Samura base
- Tau44, which belong to =CR=
Both Samura and =CR= do not like outcast friends brets at all. Think about Order, Kusari or basic missile turrets.

[MrCynical]

The IMG are now sort of in-RP cordial with the Corsairs (through the =CR= mainly) - perhaps you could get away with Corsair turrets, although I'd wait for an opinion from others on that.

EDIT: Just noticed you want to be a merc who can operate in Bretonia. That lets the 'sair stuff out.

No longer active online due to a dwindling amount of non-PvP (trading, pirating, mining, etc.) fun in the new version.

Powercell, it's been said a million and one times: Selling location doesn't matter.

I would actualy think a Bretonian operating Merc would be completely clear for using Bret Missile Turrets, especially if he/she's operating in Bretonia. The IMG GB is very "anyone", and a few of their turrets slapped on it doesn't really mean much.
