LR DisruptorBeam keeps coming back

Post by Painless »

My ship has one of these mounted on a laser mount (it just appeared, I'd placed a Plasma there when I bought the ship .blank). Everytime I sell it and replace it with another plasma, it is replaced, however, I dock again somewhere else and go into the weapons room and hey presto!!! the disruptor is back again :(

My ship is a pacifier.blank which I've spent mucho dosho on upgrades for.

the pacifier laser mounts can only hold light weapons
the plasma mounts can hold any

try buying a weapon (don't bother selling the laser) that is a light weapon
like a laser beam

To be more specific, the 'LR Disruptor Beam' is on the first 'LIGHT MEDIUM HEAVY' mount.

I just loaded up my other LMH mounts with 'Beam Arrays Medium\Disruptor Beam's and purchased a fourth which I placed over the LR Disruptor Beam without selling it first. This appears to have cured the problem.

Thanks!!!!

Oh well, I thought it was fixed, but now after a few trips I have returned to a weapons room and low and behold, the LR_DistruptorBeam is back again. :(

Right, I'll mail it to you the next time the LR disruptor beam appears again.

Is that 'themindspring dot com' or 'mindspring dot com' ?

Does this happen right after you choose the `basic repairs' option
under upgrade? I think it reset some of my weapons too.

No, it just seems to happen occasionally, either when I enter a weapons room or buy something... it took me about 8 hours of playing to replicate it this time, but at first it happened much more frequently.

Post by ATStriker »

any chance of fixing this and other small,irritating things that have been mentioned (if any) in a quick 4.1D patch?
