Has anyone (who uses the freighter) tried the heavy ithalium armor yet? It's killer! At 400 HP and level X, it's resistant to thermo and plasma--vulnerable to Ion... No biggie, just hit `em with Ion barrels and you got a wicked set of armor that can withstand a serious pounding before it will collapse.

Move over Holocroal, there's a real bad boy in the midst!

I think it's pretty rare, but it can't be that hard to find.

Guess you needed all four segments Musta been that odd segment that got ya killed. :P
I've lost shields to the Ranx D while using that armor and it held up nicely against the beast. Gave me plenty of time to safely retreat and let the Spider do the repairs. Actually, that armor never got damaged past 300 HP during that battle. It's some tough stuff!

Actually, I don't think it's all that rare. I think I usually find a full set a few systems after St. K's. 'Course, since I use the Wolfen, I don't get to use them, but they're still worth a pretty penny.

Then again, the RNG is notoriously fickle...

Ahh.. See, diamond lattice is also level X, but only 160 HP and no added resistances, only balanced. Huge differance when comparing it with heavy ithalium.

Check all the stores that sell alien items, you'll find them. May take a couple stores to get a full set.

Well, try them.
I also believe Taikon stations sell alien items.

i pick up all sorts of things, but genrely upgrade the recoilless to a heavy and then a partisan, before getting a particle. i don't pick up a secondary weapon until well after St. Kathrines. i go from class one to monopole and then class three. i get armor at random because i find that armor collapses fast when sheilds are down.

oh, basic > plasteel > heave plasteel > diamond lattice (the best avaliable last time I I got that far)
