There's no limit on the amount of Fusion Ball Defenses per hideout.

Yes, you`re right. I simply oversaw it..  :P

What is your best Sea-weapon? O got a mission with sharkmen, where the harpoon was very will. But on the second stage, the Sirens finished me.

You got the two-part mysterious island mission?  It's kind of a pain as most of the stuff that the ghost gals are vulnerable to unfortunately don't work underwater and can't be smuggled into the island.  Shockafists and sonic pistols might be your best bet.

I can get sonic pistols in Piratez? Where do I get them from?

I already killed one lobsterman. He didn`t give me any sonic pistol. Or do I have to capture him?

There is a small chance that lobstermen carry them. Maybe not even on all missions with lobstermen. Sonic weapons really aren't common.

A thing about the Fairy Dragon.

It is listed as ammunition. But of what weapon?


And one thing further:
Can I see in the tech tree, whicht item is meant to be build, which to be buyed? I know, that manufacture items got an [m]. Is there something similar for purchase  items?

Heh, revenge of the BB code!

Regarding the Fairy Dragon, if you haven't found it in the bootypedia, you're probably not ready to use it. Check the bootypedia and see what gun comes before the Fairy Dragon. If you can't find it, then it likely means you haven't researched it and I'm not going to spoil the surprise right now.

But I got the Fairy Dragon.

I just don`t know, if it is the weapon or its ammu. In the Vault it is described as ammu.

Spoilers below:
Spoiler:
Fairy Dragon is ammunition for the Quad Launcher.

The exact information is in the bootypedia and the analysis screen. The bootypedia and analysis screens are very powerful sources of information that is available to the player, it's a good idea to learn how to use them:

Spoiler:
Some guns have lot of extra ammunition. These can have their own bootypedia pages that follow right after the gun that uses them.


The Quad Launcher page doesn't list the Fairy Dragon on it, since there's not enough room on the page. However, we can go to the analysis screen which will show us 100% accurate information for this gun.



There is a lot of information here, but it does confirm that the Quad Launcher uses the Fairy Dragon as ammo.



A useful note is that there is a text search function in the bootypedia. Activate it by pressing the Q key.

EDIT - image links fixed. Imgur > Photobucket.

Does EMP (grenades) do any damage to non-shields? I`m thinking of armour and health.

And about the security corridor. Does it close the hole sewers in the base for the enemy or only below the corridor? I hate hunting aliens in the sewers.

And on Cydonia:
Where is the f... brain to kill?

Please note that Voodoo Power can be improved by using Blood Magic (part of Masochist armor).

While that is technically correct, that needs an asterisk or something as skill gains are stupidly slow, and it's so appropriately named because you would have to be some kind of masochist to raise your power by any kind of decent amount lol.
