For those running bunkers, etc. and wanting to use and keep a pledge or aUEC purchased weapon (Looted weapons apparently don't work), this may be of interest...
Personal weapon insurance in 3.19
- Thread starter Brictoria
- Start date
This is a bug thats been around for a while and will not be squashed because of this video :(
I wouldn't exactly call that an insurance thing, more like a way to buy your account bound weapons in-game.
according to the comments, it's been around since 3.16 and likely earlier.
and also it works with non-purchased weapons.
and also it works with non-purchased weapons.
This, I tested it out with an ingame bought P4-AR
It appears that Armor can also be "insured" in a similar manner, although it is slightly more restrictive on how it is done, requiring a specific vehicle:
Richard Bong
Space Marshal
Does this work with anything else or just the mule?
It looks like this method is dependant (like the weapons) upon placing the items into locations designed to hold their physical representation in the game, (Weapons to weapon racks, armor to 1/8th SCU box storage locations), so the Lynx should in theory be able to hold one armor component in the upper storage area, but I don't think there are any other ships\vehicles which have allocated areas for holding 1/8th SCU boxes.
Edit: Having thought about this a little more, I wonder how\if it would work with the 1\8th SCU boxes that can be purchased at Cargo centers: Could you place items in them and also have those items "insured"?
I'm sure some Testy will test that just for Test's sake. It's a squadron thing...
And just to complete the list of usable rides for armor insurance, the STV has room for 2 boxes in the trunk. If you get past those fiddly "open/close" buttons that is.
Good thing too, for now I'll never run out of Vanduul heads ever again.
Yay!
