Dimond backs and help with my set up

Mon Mar 24, 2003 11:03 pm by Kozmo

Where are the dimondbacks and are they the best lvl 10 weapon, I plan on setting up like this (mostly for PKing)

Eagle
2 nomads (cannons or blasters I don’t know yet)
2 other lvl 10s (dimondbacks I think, unless there is something better)
Torps or disrupters I don’t know yet

I don’t really use mines
I won’t be using my turret much
So I don’t really care.

Do any of the other lvl 10s have the same projectile speed as the nomad cannons and blasters?

*************** SPOILER AHEAD ********* STOP READING NOW!!!! ***************

diamondbacks are in sigma-13 if my memory is correct. its the sigma sector thats entirely blue...has yanagi outpost in it....above yanagi are a few navy derelicts. above those are a buncha derelicts. lock onto each one and switch to targeting mode. then sub target the ones with guns to see what theyre carrying. there are onyxs in there and a few others including your diamondbacks. if theyre nowhere to be found, you have to wait for respawn. how long that takes is still kinda guesswork...afaik anyway...

hope that helps.

u also may try the BLUE BLAZE thingies....kicks your @@@, but are only good for 3 or 4 shots in a row, then ur energy is somewhere far beyond....i dont know how it is in a titan, but its so in my sabre

Wild Fire's have high damage rate, just a little less than Diamondback and Cerberus, but they are the most efficient of all the non-Nomad class-10 guns with an efficiency factor of 4.9 -- you can get them from a shipwreck in Omicron Beta... and for some reason the wreck continues to drop them if you keep going back into that system, so I have 4 of 'em.

I did some math and found that nomads really are the best. The nomads (blasters, and cannons) do more damage per second than any of the other class 10 weapons and they dont use energy. Here is my new set up (as of now, things might change)

Eagle
4 nomads blasters
2 del cids
1 Skyblast (c9) turret
Sunslayer Torps or disrupters I don’t know yet
Ripper Mines

Oh, without question, the Nomad guns are hard to beat... and everybody wants them. Heh, after using Nomad Blasters for awhile, I went back to using Wild Fires, and kept running out of energy in multi-ship combats. I had become less careful with my aim, which is very important with slow refiring guns that do big damage... you can't afford to waste shots as much.
