Incendiary bomb launcher forge capturing ? (AP)

[Klord]

The only way to get an Incendiary bomb launcher forge is by capturing a TL transporting them...isnt it ?

Exactly what kind of TLs transport them ? Pirates doesnt have their own TL ships.

& where can I find them ?

[Vim Razz]

Yup. They're transported by commonwealth TLs, like other stations, usually but not always Teladi.

For station hunting, it's useful to put of a very complete adv sat network that shows full shipping traffic in the sectors surrounding Loomankstrat's, then check those sectors using the universe map every so often for out-of-place TLs.

It can take quite a long time for replacement stations to get loaded up and start moving, so you just sort of make the check part of a routine unless you want to sit around on SETA camping it personally.

At least, that's how it works in TC. I haven't tried it in AP yet, so I don't know for sure if there have been any changes.

[Klord]

Great...thanks for the insight.
& I think should keep an eye around "Mercenaries' Rift" too...thers a forge in that sector too. But the place is heavily occupied by pirates...capturing a TL will not be an easy task.

Edit - are those TLs pirate ones or normal friendly ones ?

[TTD]

Would there be a problem in Yaki space,due to the fact that they are highly intolerant of non Yaki vessels there ?

eg, I make friend with them early ,so that they deal with the police when I "borrow" ships I should have returned.

[Klord]

[TTD]

All non Yaki ships are shoot on sight,except yours ,if you are fiends with them.

Thus if you do not return a ship from a return ship mission,place it in the Yaki Shipyard,the Yaki will destroy the police for you.

But my question regarding the capture of TL in Yaki space is that if Yaki do not get the Ryu to deliver a station , surely , any other TL would get destroyed by the Yaki ,would it not ?

[Klord]

Well...we dont have to capture it in Yaki space....do we ?

"Loomankstrat's" is far away from the yakis sectors....if there's a TL with an IBL forge, it would not fly around yakis sectors.

[EmperorJon]

Yes, but TTD was referring to the fact there are 2 IBL forges in Weaver's Tempest, the Yaki core sector, and was wondering if those can be replaced.

[Klord]

[Sovereign01]

The good news is that Weavers Tempest has more than enough ore & silicon to run a plex that supplies the IBL forges with materials, as does Loom's Legacy. I also found a forge in Mercenaries Rift, though the pirates there seemed to be more hostile until I did a few station builds for them.

[Klord]

Yaki wont let me dock in their station...the station is friendly to me, but Yaki patrols around it are enemies.
& I cant dock !

[TTD]

You need to do more missions for them from the Shipyard or the Stock Exchange to up your rep with them.

Then they will let you dock and the Shuri etc should turn blue.

[Klord]

They no offering any missions either..

& I did a silly thing making things worse. I caped a Yaki Ryu transporting 8 IBLs, hoping to take them after capturing. But they have been disappeared from the cargo bay after I caped it.

What the hell happened ? Im pretty sure that they were in the fright bay even while my marines are hacking the core computer. It doesnt make any sense....damn.

[Crezeh]

Once a ship capture is complete, a random amount of cargo in the freight bay is destroyed. If there's something in particular is the cargo bay you want, save when your marines say they are at the core, and are beginning hacking. If the cargo you wanted is destroyed once the ship is capped, reload.

[Klord]

Doing it right now !!!
