Best Load out for Sabre?

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

Best Load out for Sabre?

At the moment, I have the Guardian, Nomand energy cannons 2xWyrm II and a Wyrm II turret. I'm on my way to load up on the lvl 10 weapons at sigma 13.
Whats the best loadout for the Sabre which provides most damage in a single hit?

Post Mon Mar 17, 2003 11:57 pm

my main loadout is:
2 krakan type 2 (hull 586 speed 700m/s rate 4.0)
4 nomad connon
1 skyblast B turret
and get 2 skyblast B gun within my sabre

since sabre has a forwards firing turret which cant match c10 weapon speed...how u deal with the aim problem?

my personal loadout is
2 sal mk ii's
4 nomad cannons
sal turret

Post Tue Mar 18, 2003 2:08 am

i got the sal class 9, firestalker missle launcher class 9, dark blossom class 10, diamond back class 10, guardian class 10, nomad blaster class 10, sunslayer torps, and a sal turret, as for mines i forget what i got.
I bet my aim is really screwed but I still f*** things up quick like.

Where do you guys get the nomad weapons? I beat the game last night.. Got my wrist hurts... Stupid trackball... But anyways. I never once saw a Nomad fighter or Capital ship drop anything.. Did I miss something?

What aiming problem?

Nomad weapons can be looted off of Nomads in Unknown sectors.

SMASOrion: add ripper mine, u r a realy a cash burner and ur c10 weapon use up ur power quickly.

RevRaz: when ur guns have different speed (not rate) ,the red cross hanging near the target just match the highest lvl weapon(or highest speed?) so ur other guns will somehow miss the target

with the turret problem, IMO krakan 2 is best c9 choice for sabre, just becoz its highest dmg /s
for sabre , u need powerful fire, thats what the turret for,and not too slow refire rate, at least 3.03 i think.

ive heard ppl say it messes up your aim with a bunch of different weapons with diff firing rates. Ya I got pleanty of $ to burn most of it goes to torps and missles. oh i got the swatter mines there good enough for now.

yoheicat, go look around in the forums, there are PLENTY of threads telling you where you can get those nomad weapons and NO they arent that easy to get to

Post Tue Mar 18, 2003 2:09 pm

So where can I get class 9 turrets from? And where can I purchase the paralyser missile launcher? I have 50 missiles for it, but no launcher

Post Tue Mar 18, 2003 2:57 pm

My loadout is:

2 Wyrm II's
4 Nomad Cannons
Rapier Turret(pulse)

Post Wed Mar 19, 2003 9:33 am

I have:
2 Sunblast B's (class 9) [fire rate 8.33
2 nomad's [fire rate 4
2 blue blazes(c10 2000+ dmg per second) [fire rate 2
sunblast b turret

I like the really fast guns to clean up after i hit with the main ones. I also like doing the 4 fire rate and 2 fire rate, cuase its easy to time the shots.

Post Wed Mar 19, 2003 4:02 pm

my sabre flys with:

4 Nomad Energy Cannons
2 Wyrm II
1 Buckshot turret
Ripper Mine Dispenser System
Starkiller Torp Launcher (soon 2 be replaced with a Sunslayer)

i dont have energy problems, and i need bout 2-3 shots for an enemy vhf
