firekiss II

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!

Hmm.. I use the MkI's, and I really enjoy the damage they do. I don't mind the RoF as I miss alot. But those that do make it to my target, hits where it hurts fer sure

I'm for the MkII's.. and I'd really like to know where they can be obtained.

can be bought at dresden sys, pirna base (or sth like that). most powerful not-c10 weapon, 2.00 refirerate. quite something nice in my assault-titan.

I find the problem with firekisses isn't the RoF, it's the projectile speed. The projectile speed is so low that an even slightly maneuverable opponent will dodge most shots at distance. It forces you to close the distance as much as possible to do any damage at all. I find it much more effective to choose a weapon that does a little less damage but has a higher projectile speed-- that makes it easier to land every shot even at distance.

Actually it's not the most powerful

Kraken Type 2 (outcast) do 2,344 damage per second, and Skyblast B do 2,033

Wyrm type 2 do 1,976 and Firekiss Mk2 and Salamanca Mk2 do 1,956 per second, but it just depends whether you like fast or slow firing rates or the pretty colors. And whether the projectile speed matches the other guns you use because it makes aiming a lot easier.

I prefer Salamanca's because their 600 speed matches the Tizonia del Cid, nomad and other lvl 10 weaps

I prefer the Skyblast B's simply because I can dodge hot plasma bolts AND shoot with relatively good accuracy at the same time. My second choice would be the Nomad weapons because I can afford to "spray and pray". On the other hand, I don't use any of the artifact weapons because it takes time to aim them properly and as said before you got to really get in close to their arses to be effective.

You've got a point there, I don't use the special weapons either, just 4 nomads and salamanca's. Shame that the specials are all similar, it would have been nice to have different ones like 8.33 firing rate but lower damage. Or even a low damage like 150 but 16 firing rate, how cool would that be.

you can get the firekiss mk 2 at pirna border station in dresden, u can also get hornviper mk2 but they suck for class 9

But think about this situation, I'm gonna buy a Rheinland battleship, all 21 turrets as well. I know most fighters will be weak against it, but other battleships? I'm gonna use the DP mod. All the battleships have no guns just turrets. So if I rig about half of those with Firekiss Mk2's and the other with Skyblast B's, plus some torpedos, I'll have a buncha turrets for fast fighters, then some heavy stuff, for comin up alongside a Liberty Battleship and takin them out pirateship style.

I've done some calculations from the weapon database. Don't bother with Firekiss IIs. Just use Salamaca IIs instead. Same damage per second, less energy used. Also, faster projectile and refire = more chance of hitting.
