Brogidar mission

[vandall1715]

Finishing the mission resulted in 2 Brogidar chests on one line and a 1 Brogidar chest on another line in Cargo. With all three there does not appear to be a manner in which to combine them to get the Brogidar guns. Any ideas as I cannot move artifacts around to place them to show three together... ?

The chests are not the gun parts.

The fixed guns drop in three parts (like most things) from any ships that have them.. I think I got them from a different race but I don't remember.

I think the Brogidar just have normal fixed guns that are mounted at an angle. If you have those unlocked you can rotate them in the ship builder.

If you mean the firey shot with the smokey trail, that is the "cannon" alternate fire for the fixed gun. It isn't a weapon in its own right, but a fire mode you unlock in the tech tree. I don't remember where you find the tech, but keep exploring and it will probably turn up.

They normally drop when you first reject the 3 Gold protection payment. There are about 6-7 large ships that attack, and they drop the chests. This opens the hidden Brogidar base on the map. You should be able to go there, and take the bribe to stop attacking them, and there is an option to trade where you can buy what is necessary for the Brogidar Cannon. I can get there, find the entity when sending a crew down, get the payoff, but there is no option to trade for some reason. So I have the chests, the trader there will not open for the trade, as he sells the plasma pressurizer and the plasma rifle. So on my game it appears that the vendor is bugged as I can get the large yellow map marking, I can go there, I can accept the bribe, and no trade window available.
