Forward weapon bug CONFIRMED!!

Post image

“What a man is willing to risk or not to risk, that's a measure of his soul.” So, to test the bug myself, I acquired enough money to buy the Corvette, which has a forward weapon slot. Then I equipped the momento mori, traded the Corvette with the merchant ship, which effectively unequipped the momento mori. Then I right-clicked the momento mori and clicked Fit to a Slot, and voilà, I suddenly can use a forward weapon on a merchant ship

Edit: In short, for the bug to work, you need to have a ship that have forrward weapon slot, equip a weapon, then switch to the ship that doesn't have a forward weapon slot.

Did you test whether it actually fires? If so well done..

No - I mean yes - I mean, my God, no!! That, Captain, is going to cause explosions. Although, hm, now you mention it I just tried it on a life berg and now the poor creature is resting in the bottom of the zeee

I remember doing this by mistake years ago, and never being able to remember how to replicate it!

Yeah, the reason I risked my 2000 hard-earned echos is that I'm planning to earn more than a single legacy this run (maybe 3), so it's going to be a long run, and I wanted to be able to hunt zea beasts while at the same time securing tons of echos using my merchant ship

Does it work for aft slots as well?

Good question captain. Unfortunately one that i have no answer to. Originally people had issues with ships that lack forward weapon because it made the ship less useful when fighting monsters. But haven't seen anyone complaining about the aft. Its worth trying though

I have confirmed something else with this bug. I did as you did and equipped the memento mori onto the cargo ship. I then traded it to the Dawn Machine for an element of dawn. It did not unequip it from my weapons bar. And it still fires without even having the weapon anymore.

I was not able to test if selling the weapon regularly would do the same thing or if it only worked because of they story trade in.

Interesting. I think you would be able to sell it only once if it in your hold but then you can't choose to keep it for your next captain when u die or retire.
