torps are the softest targets in existence, its like swatting a bumble bee. get too close, u die. do it nice, its dead b4 u know it. i never had a prob. with torps, and i dont have a joystick. i use the keyboard. whats it like with a joystick ?
and the basilisks arr annoying. they cloak and go all bluey, u cant rilly see them. so i lock on and fire off like crazy, it works. and the sabers, azan, and the saracens are probably the next sofetst targets in the entire coalition fighter contingent. (except the satellites) but no blindfire, i muck up against torps. i have to get reeeeaaaal close to get them, and by the time i do that, i'm dead.

Torps are to easy but there are just to many every once in a while.
Basilisks aren't that hard te destroy. but any comments on how to destroy them (as well as torps) must be placed in the "Tactics" forum.

Torps are the thing that reallly sucked in SL, i mean in this one mission the capship sais to you that they can take out all the torps and that you have to go shoot other ships, now if they can stop all torps in that mission why cant they in the other ones?

On another note whatever happened to BIG cannons on cariers and such, why use slow torps that even the lamest person in a lifepod could take out?

torps are easy, even without blind fire. Naginata=the best torp hunter.

naginata?? i dont know - it dont have blindfire - how is it the best torp-hunter? if i'm not wrong on this, its only got 3 hard points.

blind fire and large numbers of hardpoints don't necessarily mean a better ship for a job. I have had more successful missions in naginatas and mirages than any other ship type. Even when I use a ship with blind fire, I find myself turning it off. The more you shoot with no assistance, the better your aim will get, and the better you will do on most missions.

Besides that, it's near worthless in any ship other than Predator, Coyote, or Shroud, because it requires you to severely reduce the firepower to use it in anything with over 2 guns.
