Hammer 6 Reactor

[aRJay]

Just checking these are no longer available from Sec-Gen stores are they?

[Sukayo]

from CEDR
Hammer Reactor Mk 6 Reactor 420 3750 70 Stock Retired

So yes, there is no place wher it is on stock

[Holiday]

did I miss it, or is there any reason why it was removed from sec-gen?

[fjiekie]

and can you still get it somehow?

[siddharth]

only if some one already own it and can sell you .
very few people in game is left them in game and own it now as its the best reactor and they can use it so its hard to find a willing person which can sell those right now . or trade them to you

I believe they were removed when the new targeting computers were added because they were rather overpowered when combined.

[fjiekie]

maybe the threat of the still ongoing AI war is enough for sec-gen to re-release it?

There is a reason for everything, but i doubt overpowered is the one to blame here. Or at least it shouldnt be. Average base damage i can get from my gun (1735 - 2750) and messiah turrets (9x15 + 65)/2 is 2342.5. That is if i have a pod point expander and am also willing to sacrifice my Terranor pod and things like Sochi device which obviously will never happen. Difference between Hammer 5 and 6 is 1% average damage or in above setup 24 damage points, rounded up . So those of you that dont have one, you are missing pretty much nothing.

the difference would be between the hammer 4 and hammer 6. with the 6 being retired the setup has to be a hammer 4 and 5 now, with a 4% damage aprox gap between the 4 and 6. Along with I believe a 1100 energy difference between them, which could make a difference for some folks. still can't figure out why they were retired, if you are using 3 big Farnsworth it would eat up so much energy that it would only be for the biggest of the PM ships. I know I couldn't use 3 of them with a Dennari with 44,950 energy with a hammer 5 and 6 on. saying it made it too overpowered would be similar to saying at level 180 mining TV with 3 big rigals makes to few players overpowered in the mining department.

Good luck with three targeting computers setup

Hammer 5 & 6 combo is only useful roughly between 70-100 level. Die hard combat pilots could push level even higher by using Thor 4 energy boosters. That some might opt to use it even at higher levels is not fault or a reactor, but mostly of VP guns overcharge. Still we are talking about 30-35 damage increase here.
