Does the Flarewise have open turret mounts?

Does the Flarewise have open turret mounts?

Nope but unlike the Firestar you can add new turret mounts with relative ease.

Edit:
While your sitting discussing what to do next Urist picks up the following message sent to you:
I must thank you for your assitance. Your actions and simple mindedness let me run free in Tabien but saddly I must leave and head to greener pastures. I hope we'll meet again were I trust you'll gullabely make yourselves useful to me. Signed: Ferris Galliger CEO of Earl Cargo

Bump

...MUTHAFUCK!

[Angle]

So that was the hacker and we helped him get away? >_<

[Immortal]

.. Didn't see that coming.
Lets go to Galvenn, there we can have the Flarewise armoured or have some weapons installed. Maybe consider selling it?

95 000 Credits is a very large amount of missiles, fighters and upgraded point defense.. We don't really need the second ship.

[Angle]

Neh, I'd rather have the cargo-ship. Speaking of which, we should transfer all our junk to the cargo-ship until we need it.

[Urist McDwarfFortress]

Wait.  Did that message come from the merchant ship?  Because its already in Galvenn... how did they get us a message in Tabien?

No it didn't come from the merchant ship you escourted, you track it to a data courier that just jumped in from an uninhabited star system (N 5647)
It's possible the hacker might have already left Galvenn if he was aboard the merchant vessel.

[Immortal]

Can we decide to make a move here? We're currently just sitting in the Tabien system.

[Urist McDwarfFortress]

Kill the hacker!!  Lets go to N 5647.  Partly because the hacker is starting to act like a real jerk, and partly because exploring an uninhabited system sounds interesting.

We might want to stop by the station and pick up more missiles, ect. before we go.

[Immortal]

Theres something to do! Which direction is it?
Can we spend this money first, a few hops between systems. Just the Firestar to Braben Hall for munitions, turrets. We can send the Flarewise to Galvenn for some outfitting then rejoin and head out.

I've just updated the map with the location of the uninhabited system.
Ok any last requests or objections before you ship out?

Hold up a moment. Let's communicate with the military dude and the smuggler who first hired us to find the hacker.

[Urist McDwarfFortress]

Good idea.  We can see what they know about the hacker.  They might have some useful information.  Although the military destroyer just left the system not long ago IIRC, he might not be here.
