Neutron III lower requirements / cheaper than Neutron II

Nov 07, 2004 Smilodon link
I've noticed that the neutron III requirements are something like 0/4/0/0 and the neutron II requirements appear to be 4/4/0/0 unless I'm mistaken. Also the neutron II is listed as considerably more expensive than the neutron III, wheras the III seems to be a more powerful weapon, just looking at the stats.

neutron III is also 4/4/x/x. It is also a special weapon only available in certain places under certain circumstances. Though it's probably too widely available and too cheap those are suggestions not bugs.

You're both mistaken, the "Neutron" Mk II and Mk III are both available at 4/0/0/0. Until very recently, the Mk III was available at 0/0/0/0.

Understood. If the pricing ( the neutron III is 4x cheaper approx than the neutron II ) is intended due to it being a special weapon, no problems here. I wasn't really stressed about the price.

What I was concerned about was the II being 4/4/0/0 and the III being 4/0/0/0. I had a feeling the entries may have somehow been flipped. However I just did a fly around and they are both definitely 4/0/0/0 today so I must have been mistaken. I was pretty certain when I posted, don't know how I saw that incorrectly. Sorry about that!

Did either of you buy the guns with less than 4 light weapons? You do know that if you meet a requirement then it is not shown when you look at the weapon? Which means if the reqs are 4/4/x/x and you're level 3/4/2/2 the station will show 4/x/x/x for what you need to buy the gun, since you already have the required level 4 light weapons.

You might have a point Eldrad. I'm at 3/4/2/3 so perhaps it is 4/4/0/0 if your supposition is correct.

This previous supposition is correct. Right now:

Neutron Blaster MKIII is at 4/x/x/x 778c
Neutron Blaster MKII is at 4/4/x/x 2706c

for me atleast. And I'm below 4 in both comb, and lt weap.

Okay, so I was half right then. :-\ <--- half smile

That's a good point Eldrad. That might explain why when I checked later they were both 4/-/-/- as I had probably gained another level of light weapons. However this appears to be not a bug due to the III being a special weapon, as Eldrad stated.
