BioCom Vulture

Where can you buy this, and what standing do you need?

<<edit>> And what about the Valent Maurader Rev B? Where do you get this, and what standing is needed?

In biocom stations. appears you need +600 or +800

Valent,I think that one requires trade 13 and a standing ove 800 as well

I looked, but I couldn't find Biocom stations. I had meant specifically what coordinates, or at least the system.

Dau, somewhere in the middle of the system.

Nyrius too , there aren't many biocom stations around though.

you should be warned though, its worse than the corvus or serco vult, in both armor and weight I believe (see starfreeze's website), but it has an extra cu to compensate! yay!

The BioCom Vulture XT was available to my UIT character already at +300 or so (long before +600 in anycase).

Never used it as it has worse stats than the Vult available at UIT stations.

BioCom will also sell you missiles and mines at lower levels.

All in all, so far, BioCom faction does not pay off. I hope that changes because it was hard work getting it.

Since I think it's on-topic...

Xang Xi, Ineubis, Tunguska and Aeolus apparently don't have any new equipment to offer. Rising faction standing with those is pure loss.

Orion has a slightly better Hornet and a Centurion that is almost as good as the IBF (Itani special), plus an improved Phase Blaster (Orion XGX). Required standing: 700

BioCom has a vulture that is essentially a Vulture mk4 lacking 2 cu cargo capacity. Required standing: 600

Valent has a better bus and a 56 cu Maud (the latter requiring outrageous Trade level). Required standing: 600

Axia has an assault bus, a guardian Wraith and an armored Maud, plus a better positron gun. Required standing: 600

TPG has two better Atlas and two Mauds, and a variant of the Phase Blaster (TPG Sparrow). Required standing: 700

Corvus has a Vulture that is almost as good as the Serco Guardian version, and an attack version of the Maud. Required standing: 800

Overall these factions will sell you things at lower licence requirements.

*bump for the list*

Looks like axia is the place to go for me... :)

By the way, does it require a certain amount of standing (how much) at, say, corvus to get even basic weapon and ship variants? (eg mkI, II, III etc...)

Chao, any idea the licenses required for the XGX? That and which Orion Station(s) it might be sold at?

I was not able to find it last night.
Dec 11, 2004 Chao link
I don't know the requirements since my own levels are too high :o Also, the required standing might be 720 and not 700, as was pointed to me last night. But they are sold at every Orion station (in Azek and Dau).

Does it really take 700 for the sparrow?

And what're its stats? The orion guns' stats?
Jan 21, 2005 tramshed link
to get basic variants from corvus you need +500
Jan 21, 2005 Starfisher link
Might want to through the highly controversial tunguska maud on there...
Jan 21, 2005 The Kid link
TPG isn't 700... but at or above 600.
Orion requires more than 710, but less than 720 (if my memory is working).

Anybody checked out the new Biocom? is it any good?
