so why can certain ships mount a repair laser then?

My guess is that it is an unimplemented item, much like the rehabilitation centers mentioned in the manual. Looked all over for those before finding out they don't exist.

They can't. The weapon compatibility system has a single slot for "special" weapons. Which actual weapons can fit in that slot depends on the ship (in the case of the space suit it's the repair laser for example) but all such weapons are listed when you look at the compatibility options.

Funny,I must have dreampt I found it. I will stop looking for it.

But the Marine training Barracks does exist.I found one in Ceo's Sprite.

I thought Rehibilitation Center was slang for those pirate stations, where slaves are trained to mercs, or something similar.

marine training barracks and rehhibilitation centers are the same thing

I think he means Pirate Bases. Whare you turn passengers into Slaves.

You cant turn a slave into a Marine.

Ok,so how does the marine training barracks work,I know I can buy marines from them but can't leave marines there.Can I leave passengers there or what?

I think only pirate bases can turn passengers into slaves..Though the slave resource is present in marine barracks too so it could be possible to sell them as slaves...

It works as so.
1.buy marine/mercenary
2.train marine/mercenary
3.use marine to cap big ships either by spacewalking or boarding pod
4.If marines fail train them more
5.rinse and repeat

Oh and as for "leaving" marines the only time when they are left there is when they are in training or after training when the sit in the docking bay waiting for you to pick them up.

I was referring to where the manual says "...You can also make marines out of slaves but they will have to spend some time at a Rehabilitation Facility before you can send them to boot camp". For me its on pg.50, under MARINES heading. Second paragraph, last sentence.

edit:
Curious though, Why can't you train at a TRAINING barracks?

Abscon · Post by **Abscon** » Wed, 15. Jul 09, 19:51

Right just dug around and found my printed one...

Yeah the rehabilitation stations don't exist in X3:TC i haven't seen or heard of one until now.

I guess in theory they would accept slaves for a price and then Discipline(Brainwash?) them into good obedient marines/mercenaries.

Honestly though its frustrating that you can't seem to do that

Edit:

That's a good point though maybe the training barracks only "train" the marines to the point they become a commodity and therefore malleable enough to be trained/have sense beaten into them somewhere else?

Then again maybe they only sell the rejects who don't learn so good and would cost a huge amount to train....seems we got the short end of the stick

Who said that there wasn't repair laser for ships?
I see at ship Argon Centaur a
REPAIR LASER in the list of lasers.
Does anyone know where to find a repair laser for ships?

Abscon · Post by **Abscon** » Wed, 15. Jul 09, 20:03

Yes there are many of the larger ships that can MOUNT a repair laser but have you every seen one for sale? Or a Fab making them or even another ship using or having them on board?

Ships can mount them but the laser as a commodity to be mounted doesn't exist or simply hasn't been put into game play yet.

cbj gave you the correct answer above.

However i believe there may be a mod or script,so look in that forum.

If you find it and install it you will have the [MODIFIED] tag on your save games. So be warned.

Your question has already been answered by several posters.

Asking the same thing repeatedly and in multiple threads is not going to get you a different response.

The Special Weapons are the Repair Laser, the Tractor Beam, and the Mobile Drilling System.

If a ship can mount the Repair Laser, then it can mount the other 2.

HOWEVER: The Laser Generator will have much to say about wether it fires or not, so if you find the Repair Laser mountable on a TS, for example, it may not have the laser power to fire the Tractor Beam. More than likely, it's for the MDS.

EDIT: In a Vanilla Game, there are NO REPAIR LASERS AVAILABLE.

Apricotslice has a mod that makes them available, however. there are others, too.

Actually, all CBJ stated was basically: you can mount the weapon if it's compatible. He didn't state yes there is/no there isn't a repair laser for sale somewhere.
