The video outlines the ship weapons and components that will no longer be available for purchase in the upcoming Alpha 4.0 update, highlighting specific removals such as various NDB weapons, Ardor salvaged repeaters, and military components across several sizes. Players are advised to prepare by seeking out these items through looting or specific missions, as they will not be purchasable in shops post-update.
In the video, the presenter discusses the ship weapons and components that will no longer be available for purchase in the upcoming Alpha 4.0 update of the game. They emphasize that the information is based on the latest 4.0 EPU and may change, but it reflects the current direction of the developers. The video aims to help players prepare for the changes by outlining specific weapons and components that will be affected.
One of the notable changes is the removal of various NDB weapons from shops, including size one NDB 26, size two NDB 28, and size three NDB 30. The presenter mentions that players might still obtain NDB repeaters through the Executive Hanger ships if they complete the contest Zone Challenge. Additionally, the NN13 and NN4 laser cannons will also no longer be available for purchase, although the default Arrow will still come equipped with the NN14.
The video also highlights the Ardor salvaged repeaters and Tang S cannons. While the Ardor size one repeater is listed, size four repeaters are absent, suggesting that players may need to loot them from specific missions or locations. The Tang S cannons have never been purchasable, and players can only access certain sizes through specific ships. Furthermore, the Salvation and Absolution Distortion scatter guns will no longer be available for purchase at Orison’s Cousins Crow.
In terms of ship components, the presenter lists several size one shields, power plants, coolers, and quantum drives that will also be removed from shops. Notable exclusions include all military size one components and various civilian options. The lack of purchasable military quantum drives is particularly emphasized, as these are considered some of the best in the game. The presenter advises players to seek out these components in the Executive Hanger in Pyro instead.
Lastly, the video covers size two and size three components, noting that all military options for shields, power plants, coolers, and quantum drives will no longer be available for purchase. Players will need to rely on looting or existing ship configurations to obtain these components. The presenter concludes by stressing the importance of being aware of these changes to prepare for the Alpha 4.0 update effectively.
