Eagle vs Titan - Sabre is out of league?

Wed Apr 09, 2003 10:33 pm by Ranpostgen

Like Martaigne said, read the other thread if you want all the facts presented so far (well, at least for the last week and a half that I've been here). But like ImpalerOx said, it's really irrelevant which is the best. I prefer the Titan myself, so all you Titan-haters can all go to hell! >_<

Kergen: I know how you feel. But think about it, would you rather have more threads like this one, or more of "OMFG!! I FOUND TEH ESPANIO!!!1!11!!" ?

I had the Sabre for a while for the front firing turret, but then I bought the Eagle just to try it out, and damn that thing turns fast! Being able to have my 6 guns on the other guys @$$ that much sooner more than makes up for the little bit of extra damage a skyblast turret would give me. As far as the armor rating, I think if I 'm ever in a situation where an extra 3000 armor is needed, I'm prolly dead meat anyway. And I may not like the looks much, but it's still prettier than a Titan (GAWD they're ugly) so I'm sticking w/ the Eagle.

Just changed my Sabre to an Eagle. Suddenly the world feels so light. I have no more problem keeping my nose at someones backside anymore.

And as a bonus, Eagle is like half the size of a Sabre. Which means less people can hit me accurately. The profile is so small, I think it can fit in between Sabre.

Will be flying this thing for a while, maybe change to a Titan, then back to the dromedary.

And, who cares about the turret anyway. 2 Tizona, 2 nomad blaster, 2 wild fire adds up to a few thousand damage points, and a mere 300+ more for a level 8 turret?...

Just got to be carefull not to break the wings off...

Trent : Hull Buckling[! Life Support Failing. I can't breathe[![!
Juni : Cut it out Trent[! I'm not that heavy..

yeah I know there's another thread about sorry

but my point is the Titan and the Sabre have the same turn speed so the Sabre is NOT better than the Titan unless you count the forward turret

Dude, where's my Super Star Destroyer?

I'm pretty sure you're wrong about that, but since the fricking game doesn't give insignificant stats like TURN SPEED, i guess I can't argue with you there.

Thu Apr 10, 2003 4:11 am by OracleX

both turn speeds are 60, turn speed for Eagle is 80

Dude, where's my Super Star Destroyer?

Not to doubt you or anything, but where exactly did you get those numbers? And 60 what? degrees/s?

What about steering torque? I'm sure that affects it...are they the same too?

Enlighten the space sim newb, what's steering torque?

I think that's a fancy term for "road rage":

"Watch where you're flying that Titan jackarse!!!"

or

"FFS! the jumpgate is free! stop holding the line God damn it!"

Everyone knows that the sabre is more maneuverable than the titan so your numbers must be inacurate

This thing is still going?
