darkcyde 1 Posted October 4, 2012 Ok, so you can construct different types of guns, particularly useful is the front turret. I made a plasma turret and it was automatically installed, but needed to have an artillerly type of attack, so wanted to change back to shells.......how? I've looked everywhere!! Except the place where it is I actually change it obviously! ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dreadnought808 1 Posted October 4, 2012 I'm assuming you're in strategy mode. You should be able to construct "Shell" in the production menu, more specifically under the "carrier-weapons" tabs. Once that's finished, you still need to ship it over to your carrier, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkcyde 1 Posted October 4, 2012 So, if I already had a type of deck gun, and then made another, but then wanted to go back to previous deck gun I would have to manufacture it again and then send to to the carrier? ie, deck guns once replaced are destroyed?

Suranis 1 Posted October 5, 2012 I imagine you could sail to your stockpile Island, then move the shell weapon from your carrier onto the stockpile and the Plasma would go back on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guess Who 10 Posted October 5, 2012 So, if I already had a type of deck gun, and then made another, but then wanted to go back to previous deck gun I would have to manufacture it again and then send to to the carrier? ie, deck guns once replaced are destroyed? That actually never works for me. Tried it multiple times also for Quads/Flaks. The weapon with the higher "value" allways stays, the other newly build vanishes ... that's in strategy mode.I imagine you could sail to your stockpile Island, then move the shell weapon from your carrier onto the stockpile and the Plasma would go back on. Never tried it that way, seems like a good idea though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Splunkjamma 10 Posted October 5, 2012 I imagine you could sail to your stockpile Island, then move the shell weapon from your carrier onto the stockpile and the Plasma would go back on. I've tried this and it doesn't work. This is playing the strategy game and as stated above it seems that the higher value weapons take priority. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanx for confirming. I think it's a bug actually. Since I found out about this, I only ever manufacture Flaks for the rear turrets because the Plasma is useless against the enemy carrier (you nearly have to ram it before the Plasma fires) and the Flak gun has some strange range limitation. The Quads though can handle air and ground targets pretty well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scepticer 1 Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) In strategy mode and talking only about the front center gun: - When starting strategy mode Plasma cannon is installed. - I produce a Shell cannon and it gets installed. - I then produce a Plasma cannon and it gets installed. - I produce another Shell but it does NOT get installed - stuck forever with Plasma. Anyone recognize this? Any workaround? EDIT: Just made a new Shell and this time it got installed when the Barque arrived!! (Not sure if it matters but I was not in transit between islands but in the close vicinity of one when the barque arrived) EDIT2: Well, after having sailed to another island (and encountered the enemy) it was then back to Plasma Edited October 5, 2012 by Scepticer added info Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone recognize this? Any workaround? - I allways get a shell on the bow in strategy mode. Maybe it's a matter of game start conditions? - Yes, but the other way around. Shell can't be reinstalled. No Workaround so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scepticer 1 Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) - Yes, but the other way around. Shell can't be reinstalled. No Workaround so far. Actually I was just about to do an update to my post above. Just made a new Shell and this time it got installed when the Barque arrived!! (Not sure if it matters but I was not in transit between islands but in the close vicinity of one when the barque arrived) ...EDIT: Well, after having sailed to another island (and encountered the enemy) it was then back to Plasma So, weird behavior certainly.

Dreadnought808 1 Posted October 5, 2012 I must admit I haven't tried it the other way around yet- I'll give it a try today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
