I prefer the QAC, myself. Or perhaps the Omni Ion Blaster MultiTarget, yay!

actually i thought it was kinda the point of the weapon...

lamplighter +fast = uber epic win
or
ares plasma cannon + fast= fast firing 144 damage each shot kinda win

the IM90 takes FOREVER to take out the iocrym shields- though it does kill the q-spheres easily

qialong archcannons are really that good? never used em... i just thought they were make for getting money... (the only ammo weapon i've used is a kiloton cannon from a ranx dreadnaught)

Lamplighter is a slightly stronger ammoless QAC with less WMD

AFAIK the QAC was originally the only weapon that could take on the Iocrym.



In my weapons extended mod, the P1 Guardian missile for the NAMI heavy launcher can destroy the Iocrym, it's a plasma missile.

I've beaten the Iocrym ship with the lamplighter, im90, the QAC and the Kytrynn plasma cannon. I heard of someone beating it with the ferian plasma mining thingy.

Ferrian mining thingy is easy with GoS + 1M/i auton (that is the only way I know it is possible to defeat the Iocrym Command Ship with the penitent cannon).

I used the Kyrtin Launcher to defeat it in an earlier version (1 resurrect due to my destroying the wreak in that version which lead to the wreak being made harder to blow up that way)

Question: I saved Point Juno. Went down to CSC Europa and got the weapon on the vault. Should I give it back to Point Juno or keep it?

either sell it or give it back, don't bother using it.

for a while i was using it, it is powerful, but has a 10% chance of malfunction, so if hurting yourself is too big a price to pay give it back or sell it(if you sell install first so it is identified and gets a higher price.(also a good time to try it) ).

The lamplighter prototype works well enough to beat the Iocrym.

As for weapons I'm armed wth an IM90 multitarget +50, an Ares Plasma Cannon, an Advanced Triiun cannon +90 and an Iocryn Repeller...Got a Hyperion reactor and Kaidun shield enhanced to 1200...Is it enough to beat the Iocrym?

all you need is a plasma or antimatter weapon, a decent shield and fast fingers on your keyboard :)
An ICX is a plus (or a must have) depending on your ship and your tactic.

I wish the Iocrym was so difficult you'd need that kind of weaponry/shielding, but its really not that hard.

I wish Iocrym was difficult in a different way just having to have certain devices is boring if it is the same every time.
Crying is not a proper retort!
