Assuming yes, they should be sold in the sectors for the ship race.
Those two and the Truelight seeker are the only ones that mount it (yet another thing to love about the Panther/Tiger :)). But i was under the impression you couldnt buy it. Hmmph, ill have to check again

EDIT: The encyclopedia doesnt report any point of sale, and i cant find any. Its the same laser as used on every lasertower

EDIT 2: Wait, are you saying i have to finish the Final Fury missions before they become available?

EDIT 3: Ok well upon further searching it seems this item is vapourware. Apparently theres one chance to get it, if it appears in one of the Khaak sectors that you go to in Final Fury, but if not youre out of luck.

Well im not too pleased about that, i guess ill need to get a mod for that

No, they aren't Vaporware, and they aren't sold. There ARE 2 of them in the game. And ONLY 2. Miss them, you won't get another chance.

To find them: Do the Operation Final Fury missions. Second jump into a Kha'ak Sector, look around. they will be in a crate.

Also save before this mission, as some have stated that it's a random drop, and not found it where it's supposed to be.

Enjoy! (P.S. A mod will likely give you more PALC anyways)

I definitely know the Elephant cant use it. I havent come across the Yaki Kariudo. The Tiger, Panther are the only ones i know of, plus the Truelight Seeker according to http://eng.x3tc.ru/x3_tc_ships/x3-ship. ... zkzOTg3NDc

I mentioned this in my Edit3. Its vapourware because it might not even appear; and if it doesnt, youll never get it anywhere else.

Btw, does it STAY in the sector after you leave and later come back, or is it gone forever if you dont pick it up during the mission? Ive already done those missions, and while i got an EBC and a PPC, there was no PALC

Hmm.. was it PPC or PALC? shit, i hope i didnt sell it!

I think that ends that discussion. Its established that that gun is available only in 1 FF mission.

If you want to continue with the discussion, please take it to its own thread.

i used some excel sheet downloaded from forums, but i believe the russioan site is more accurate
the Kariudo might be left out of the game and only exists on the data sheet

Its relevant to a walkthrough of the Final Fury missions to warn that there is a once-only gun there to pick up, dont you think?

Yes and thats been done. Your discussing the gun now and what to do with it.

This thread is about the guide and missions, not game play in general.

Move on please.

I was not discussing how to use it! I posted a question, clarified it and barely got an answer before you were postings its now 'settled' and we should stop discussing it. Not everyone is as well informed on the particulars of the game as yourself, it may take some time before they come to understand where this laser can be found. Also, incorrect answers considerably slow and cloud this understanding;

Its also something very relevant to a walkthrough of the Final Fury missions. Could this perhaps be incorporated (briefly) into the actual walkthrough for that mission? Something to the effect of 'this is your only chance to get the PALC'? It was very difficult finding any information on it whatsoever with the poor search function. Having said that, the PALC, while fairly powerful, doesnt feel right. It doesnt look like it was 'finished' and is largely vapourware.

The only reason im posting all that here is because this is stuff that can only be got in Final Fury and some people will want to know. Hopefully now they will

How come I'm delivering 450.000 ore and that kind of shipment isn't mentioned???

edit: Just noticed that I'm delivering the ore instead of the 250.000 crystals

edit2: I was near the end of the Ore shipment and now it asks for 500 nividium and again no one is mentioning nividium :)

The Hub plot requirements change every patch.

The guide was written for version 1.4 from memory and its changed several times since then.

I obviously didnt notice just how much its been changed.

They have been tweaking this plot every single patch, and its going to be tweaked again for 2.5.

How to pass jumpgate while towing ship? In Aldrin plot, where we need to tow Mobile Mining Base ship to Aldrin 2.

My M6 can pass through jumpgate but the mining ship stop just before the gate. So, i boarding it. Transfer over the JD and ecells then jumped it to Aldrin 2. Mission over.

Im just curious how to tow that ship. :?

You just tow straight through the gate. On the other side, you wait for the towed ship to appear and then start towing again.

It helps if you drop a sat or leave a ship on the other side of the gate, so you can monitor the towed ship.

If the tow length is too long, it may break as you go through. In which case you have to go back, reattach the tow as close as possible and do it again.

Okay, I just tried to start the terran plot as non-terran for the first time. I escorted the Scabbard to the defence station, I talked to the Terran girl (over the radio, not by docking), the mission disappeared from the list and I got ATF astroid belt access. However, the story doesn't seem to progress. Did I forget something?

You should have a mission listed to go to Uranus. And with guidance turned on, yellow arrows pointing to the north gate.

If you dont have a mission listed, then in all likelihood, you accidently didnt accept the new mission. In which case, you need to go back to the previous save and redo the dialog and make sure you accept the new mission.

This is one dialog where you do have to accept the mission to continue. In other words, you do have to say you want to work for the Terrans now.

If the mission is listed, turn guidance on and follow it to Uranus.

I reloaded twice now. Each time I restarted the mission from scratch, finished it, and talked to the Terran after the scabbard docked. I picked the option with the 'blue book', which should be the correct one... No new mission is listed though.
