The only OXP currently includes this laser is Vimana HUD so your lasers should be back after you installed this package. :wink:
Thanks for confirming, I must've gone an an expansion pack frenzy at some point and installed it!

So perhaps (re)install that pack, then load up a save game that hasn't had the setting knocked out and hopefully it will recognise them again. I'll try a few variations and report back.

Interesting that I travelled to a tech 14 planet in case I could repurchase them and they weren't available as an option - again maybe they're higher tech level offerings than 14 though.

Thanks again,
Steve
Are you quite sure that you don't have Weapon Laws installed...

Just relieved it's not one of my laser oxps for a change.

"You know my methods..." :P

Yes. In my game, Weapon Laws removes Vimana Lasers from the shipyards in almost all the higher TL states because they tend to be corporates or democracies where the lasers are banned. You see nothing, just that they are not there on the F3 page. But did you still see Military Lasers for sale at your TL14 shipyard? If you did, it's not Weapon Laws that is mucking things up for you.
Comments wanted:
Missing OXPs? What do you think is missing?

Lore: The Space Traders Flight Training Manual: Cowell & MgRath Do you agree with Redspear?

Come to think of it, I’m not sure I did see military lasers for sale. I may be getting confused though, as I had to buy a laser to make the three jumps to the tech 14 planet.
