Bring Back The Javelin!!
I am a relatively new player, and in the time i've been here, i haven't had a chance to get my hands on the Jav. It's almost a necessity for defense against higher level players, and those of us who missed it last time, should have a shot at it. Please give is a chance to get it

Jav isnt the best weapon for turrets and it has been offered recently
what need to be offered is Halos they havent been on offer since the start of the year and they are much more effective for base defense
i would like both, but either would make a huge difference to me.
Uber coiner? Um... no. I rarely coin anything
why do people always resort to insults online? I assume it must be some character flaw.

If any defense turret needs to re-released, it should be the Halo missiles. The Javelin has been offered twice this year while the Halo missiles haven't been offered once since January. Not only that, but I think the Halo missiles would be a better choice to reintroduce, since they are much harder to shoot down or avoid (compared to vm's), and are easier to win by lower-level players.
It has been stated in the October WIP, this raid will be a prize store of components, so armours, specials, weapons, etc. Quite possible they will be in the raid...
what about the disruptor? only released once
javelin will not stop folks farming you - at 9 days each build , and five special fleets for javelin bases in my shipyard .......

Jav was brought back like 3 raids ago. If it's not in this months prize store, you're likely to not see it again until early next year.

Your a relatively newb level 48 player and you somehow missed the fact the Javelin was available 2/3 raids ago.
You also seem to think you'd actually ever be able to build one.

Work around it. I havent had the chance really either, given im a lv53 that started in March. But i worked a lot on my VM base, working on both the guard and the layout to force attackers to stop and take a beating from 6 SL3 VMs and a Assault mort dread. Not saying ill keep everything out but i dont get broken often, and as i finish my guard it will be even less. Had a 66 prep with MCX, losing the fleet, then hit with Q Dreads most recently. Died and barely got 50%
Im not saying VMs are as good as Halos or Javs, but they do have an excellent potential damage output, higher than Halos or Javs, and thats before you count that most fleets are resistant to ballistic and missile but not at all explosive. Its a case of forcing them to take that damage, but almost all VM bases are flawed in that they dont force the attacker to stop for long enough, due to a poorly thought out layout and guard fleet, and often the VMs dont cover the channel fully as Halo/Jav base designs are copied
Screw all that crap, I need the Alloy Armor CX3
the disruptor cannon is the most important base weapon for low lvls mixed with a good guard and a heep of vics will kill more fleets than javs and halos
Bring back disco!!!
(1) halos give splash damage so output damage is less cause off it (2) disruptor was make for slowing rush fleets down for halos/vm's to do there work
a missile or mort flt can stay out off range off disruptor but gives enough time to land a halos or vm on them
I would like a dilithium resource gatherer for my warp drive!!
Another case of a low lvl wanting what higher lvls have, and thinks that will help. The number 1 defense to strive for is, a great patrol fleet for your base. Strong Golis, counter measure Tritons, and what ever else you can build to stop ppl. Thats what you need. Not a turret that by now most of all the high lvlvs you want to guard from, will have Jav fleets to hit you with.
Can you take my base Bunny?
looks like you coined Ciaran's base from June - that fell three times

i can take that base post coords and i will video it for you lol
Well if you had taken the time to look at the videos you would have seen Ciaran SBSST was on the list. He actually came to my sector just to try my base. But as usual you think you know all and start talking. I had this design before he ever arrived. My base is in 411 at 246033,281 lets see your five fleets take my base. I look forward to adding you to my videos.
I vote Halo, its been a long time since it was last released. DIsruptor would be nice too
Youll get arc missles and youll l;ike them !!!
Never regret an old weapon, aim for the newer weapons. Once they release a weapon for the 2nd, it usually becomes mediocre.
Ideally, you want a little mix of good stuff. Disruptors to make them pump the brakes, halo for splash, javelins for sick range. If you go all javelin, all halo / sent 5, all vm, etc; then someone just comes in with a layered / reactive / or ablative armored fleet. but when you spread it out, you can try to make them sacrifice one resistance for another. Dread X or Guardians with the assault mortars and combustion system combo'd with javelin and halo turrets is just so much damage to deal with. But then again it is all useless with poor design and someone just donut holes everything.
