but its way too expensive, and too hard to use, and its overkill...IMHO

I use Starkillers... They work GREAT!

When money is no object, you don't care what you use. I personally prefer the best missiles, I forget what they are called, but they do like 4000 hull damage. That combined with Nomad weapons and nothing can touch me. Once I literally entered a firefight and left my computer for a half an hour, came back and still had full shields. Gotta love class 10 shield and the Titan.

Sarpedon, its pretty simple, once you have a titan goto Planet Crete and buy that 312,000 $ shield with like 8,000 something cap, its really nice, i currently am using 2 of my favorite guns, calls Weapon Codename: THORS HAMMER they are awesome, i stuck em on my sabre (which in my opinion is better than titan, i dogfighted with a friend in a titan and flew circles around him) i had 2, so i stuck one on each side of the cockpit (and they look awesome, theres actually 2 barrels on each gun), but nonetheless, thats not what this post is about, im just suggesting people use torpedos, their very powerful, i myself use Lancer Missles, but i dumped those, i like the torpedos better, in the right hands they can be the most powerful of weapons

Dude personally I like the DIAMONDBACK's because those babies look frickin awesome when shot. I would use nomad guns (cause i have like 10 of them in my hold) if they were better looking and sounding. Also, I think you should be able to change the color of your shots somewhere, wouldn't be too hard physically speaking, just add some food color at the end of the barrel (yeah i'm joking) but color changes would be tight. Same thing could go for the thruster colors, wouldn't blue thrusters be cool? Yay i'm a color geek now.

Anyways, torps are nice but I agree that they are overkill. In my sabre, if an enemy is ever dumb enough to play chicken with me, it's just stationary target practice basically and they end up dead in 4-5 shots (nomads), probably before a torpedo could hit it. But then again, torp kills are torp kills and have their own place in the brag chart.

I don't think so....
Now I am at max level with a Titan....
Of couse with nomad laser & canno and other class 10 weapons....

With that, I can killed most of the enemy with 5 shots, or 20 shots for installation...

What I want to say is, Torpedo is for the lower level ship(cos lower attack ability) to destory enemy...However,it's so costly that the lower level player can't affort it....
For a higher level player(like the upstairs one), money is nearly unlimited supply..
One mission can over $100,000....But they should have class 10 weapon now.
Therefore, Torpedo is just useless in some means....


That's what I think about it...

A medium-strength torpedo would be really useful for the later single-player missions. By that point, the Starkiller isn't much more effective than a few mines, or a good burst with cannons. Only real advantage then is their long range (but they take sooo long to get there if you launch at max range)

PS - this is the only time I'm recommeding MORE variations of weapons in FL, instead of less

Now, I've discovered almost EVERYTHING in the multiplayer-part...
BUT!... I can't find that f***** Sunslayer Launcher... where is it? I don't really need it, I just wan't to try it...

Anyway :
Eagle is still my favourite... it has high manouverabiliy, and the "low" Hull practically doesn't matter. It is The shield, which is important. And for the gunmounts: They are 6/1 just like the Sabre and Titan.
Yeah, the turret can't shoot forward on the eagle, but does it matter? My 4 Nomad-blasters + 2 C9 guns delivers a great punch. I don't need more. And due to its nice ability to turn you will hit more often than in the Titan and Sabre. It should even out the firepower missing from the turret or even do better.
Think about it and try it out.

Friendly is a term, in which hate must exist...

sunslayer are nice for pvp, once the shilds are down, they are a instant kill with just one hit needed. nasty surprise if your able to hit with them

The Sabre Dominates eagle, nuff said, you may like the eagle now, but sabre is almost as or just maybe a tiny bit less maneuverable, and torpedos arent overkill, and when i fire at a hammerhead is only takes maybe 1/3 off the hull, which i can do anyway, but i like having a little bit of fun in combat so i use torps, and, why wouldnt i use them? i have a free slot for either a disruptor or a torpedo, in combat i have never seen AI Use Cruise Engines so why not just stick a torp launcher on there, and its actually quite fun because torps look really damn awesome, when you fire them they look like a huge bundle of white/blue light flying towards the target, but if you catch up to them you can actually see the torpedo and it looks like a warhead, hehehe, oh, and when they launch from my Saber its mounted on the bottom so it looks cool when it just detaches and activates its own little engines in like a huge roar. But like i said, i use them mostly for fun, as i can dish out enough damage on my own, usually killing off a whole ship in one strafing run, but nonetheless, i just try to twist it in some ways so it doesnt get boring
