Station Shield's/Arm's
Hi, are the Shields & Arms Implemented in Game or do they miss ? I have Level 12 (Argon) and still can't Buy any Shield's... Well Weapons OK... They sure need a High Level to buy. But Shield's... So ? What am i doing wrong ? Do i need same Rank like if i want to Build a Destroyer to get a Defence ?

ADD - BTW what Level do i need for the Defence Modules ?

Sure they are in game, you need to own license to build any to your station (or ship). Faction representative (guy you met to get promoted) sell licenses. If buy option is greyed out, hovering mouse over it should show reason why you can't buy it.

I think factions promote you just twice, at rep 10 and 20. Rep 20 grants right to buy everything, including capital ships and large turrets and shields. You should be able to get medium size already.

Blueprints for station modules can be bought if you are rich, but they can be scanned from stations if boron have researched this ability for you. Just scan weakpoint of respective module, or trigger EMP bomb on it and scan all 4 weakpoints it create. Best to scan from spacesuit if you seek blueprints.

;( No there are no Medium shield only 1 type... Anyway why? Big Ships have XL to for example the Building Ships and the big Freigters to i think. And This Faction Rep. you say sell only Police & Guild Trade Info. Well maybe with Level 20 it show up. (But the other stuff i have seen from Start)

When you talk to them, make sure you try scrolling/stepping down in the menu. I missed a few things because I didn't see them as options, at first.

It's because you are not buying the turrets for the station, they are being built in-place. You are paying for parts and labor. But to do that they need the blueprints, or actually the copy-rights to use the blueprints.

For ships, the shipyards stock pre-assembled turrets and other things. Or at least a few of them. And the shipyard has some copyrights already.
