ship question - demon and drayman
How can one buy a drayman or demon? I'm sure the drayman is expensive, but I want to know where to get one, as none of the big bases have anything for sale other than the four normal ships. thanks.

Before you make the same mistakes like me, make sure you visit the ship dealer or commodity exchange ship hold after each completed campaign mission, so you won't miss any new ships... especially the drayman and the paradigm are hard, not to say impossible to get if you miss them.
SPOILERS:
drayman available at oxford after oxford missions
paradigm available at perry after drone is destroyed.

They seem to be randomly available after you have "unlocked" the point in the campaign when you can buy them. I see then from time to time at Perry, New Detroit and Oxford but never enough money when I see one lol.

I agree, There's plenty of great ships (especially the Galaxy GS) to use without unlocking the others.
I've been playing for 3 days to get a Galaxy GS fully tricked out and haven't even thought about the campaign yet. Also got a Raptor, Krant and Sartha (had to "modify" my cargo hold for 5 minutes to acquire one of each) and my faithful Centurion (level 5 shields and reactor). I have trouble deciding which one to use.
BTW, what are the green beams I see on the Draymans flying about. YERY nasty if I get hit by one......DEAD!!

The green beam? Should be a repulsor beam, the opposite of the tractor beam, repulsing objects from the ship. But I can't imagine you're dead afterwards. It is supposed to bring you off your course, twist your ship, in the worst case.
I also played hours and days to max out my GS. I didn't want to buy a reactor 7, which I would habe to sell later for half the creds, so I made 4.5mils with cargo missions in a stock galaxy and my tarsusmk2. That's the problem with the new ships. Everybody wants to start the campaign in his favourite ship when it's maxed out. I think not only ships, but also weapons and equipment should be unlocked via campaign.

Definitely end up instantly dead when hit by a repulsor beam. I often see a Drayman with two constantly activated, waving around like giant whiskers. if I fly near him and one hits me...."End Of Story", so to speak.
Should the Drayman be doing this?

If i remember correctly Z30 either did or was planning to remove repulsor beams until he could fix them. It seems there is something wrong with the mechanics, and if you're too close or something you are sucked into the cargo hold of the drayman, Resulting in game over. I don't remember the details too well, but i believe that is the reason for the insta-death you're experiencing.

In my last workfile - I converted them to normal tractor beams. I'm going to have to review those files & figure out how to incorporate them in the patch Diloh, you & the others have worked on & contributed to.OnyxPaladin wrote:If i remember correctly Z30 either did or was planning to remove repulsor beams until he could fix them.
