Well, we already know that Mars Pattern Macrocannons and Titanforge Lances are available for sale without checks... so that simplifies things slightly if we're willing to just go for some of these.  (they're not the best weapons in the world, but they're pretty darn good.)  What would the actual acquisition test for them be?<br/><br/>As for our chances... well, I'd say they're better than you think.  Darius can use his 80 intimidate to haggle... Sarah can actually add her +10 to get ship's components to Darius's +10 to get weapons for a +20 (if we feel we need it... we might want Sarah to use her first acquisition to get us the Salvage System!)<br/><br/>It would require one acquisition from each character, but it'd be worth it.  If we're worried about our chances, Baromir could "Wheel and Deal" and spend a 100 achievement points to raise the odds by another +10... but I wonder if it'd be needed.<br/><br/>If Sarah does help, we could also go for poor quality weapon systems for an addition +15 to the check... (a total +35, or +45 if Baromir assists.  Each person who assists could make their own haggle checks, so between Darius's 80 intimidate, Baromir's 73 Commerce, and Sarah's 51 Trade Voidfarer, we'd almost certainly make our chances very good indeed!  Yes, it would take each of their first trades... but it'd be an almost certain success, if we roll even halfway decently, I think.<br/><br/>I'd suggest making Haggle checks on both the poor weapons and the common quality ones... and see if we want to risk the roll for the better guns after seeing the numbers.  (Assuming, of course, that everyone is onboard with the "outfit the cruiser as a salvage ship of doom and take over the Chiconahui Passage" plan...)<br/><br/>Heck, if I understood TGT, Cortez could actually give us a straight +10 to every roll we make, so long as he's actually there when each of us is doing our thing... He'd probably have to use up one of his three free acquisitions to do it, but a blanket +10 to every haggle roll... (he could add his own Commerce skills in as well, without the +10), and the final aquisition test would be fantastic.) and he could help Sarah get the Salvage Systems and the Ship's Stores as well with his final 2 free acquisitions.
