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!

Unknown jumphole in Omi Gamma is at F-2, in the middle of a big ugly green radioactive cloud. The jumphole in Omicron Alpha is at F-4, also in the middle of a big ugly green cloud.

The jumpholes lead to two /different/ Unknown system, by the way. The one in Alpha is only populated by a ton of Nomads. The one in Gamma has the traditional ton of Nomad ships, as well as two "easter egg" planets which are basically useless.

To get the weapons, just kill Nomads.....lots of Nomads. I've had times where it took around an hour to get a single weapon, and I've had times where I got 3 weapons in a row, so it's really random when they drop.

OK WHO SAID Eagle COULD BEAT TITAN? BS I HAD A RHEINLAND VALKRYIE AND I BEAT A PLAYER WITH A FALCON which is way better he had better guns better missiles, etc. Besides i know how to beat an eagle with my titan but im not going to tell anyone.

Where can you get an ADVANCED ENGINE?

Post Sun Apr 13, 2003 11:52 pm

wait how do you even BUY ENGINES?

Post Sun Apr 13, 2003 11:58 pm

Yeah, sometimes I have fought Nomads until I run out of bats/bots without getting a single drop from them. Other times you get a drop from nearly every ship. What seems to help me is to switch to a single low-damage weapon to finish off each ship so you don't accidentally destroy their drops. I finish off at least the last two ships in each flight with a single salamanca, and if I can do it without getting the crap shot out of me I'll try to finish the first two off that way also. Using this method I get a lot more salvaged weapons (I even had a single ship drop a blaster AND a cannon once...that was pretty damn cool)

Engine: Advanced Engine

You mean Adv Thruster cause i already have one of those

That was me who said it, Mith, and I firmly believe you're wrong. Besides, comparing a Valkyrie to a Falcon is totally different and rather meaningless....they're virtually identical. At lower levels, differences in maneuverability and such are very subtle - they get more marked as ships advance.

As for the Titan/Sabre/Eagle battle, people wre still fighting over that one...IMO, Eagle owns the other 2. However, it's a personal preference thing. Basically, from my experience, if the Titan or Sabre fails to kill the Eagle before it gets within 200 meters, the Titan or Sabre is screwed. I've never seen any moves that you could pull to get the Eagle off your 6 once it gets there. Maybe pulling a Maverick and slamming your brakes on would work, but I doubt it.

Eagle will beat a Titan any day of the week.

I took on two guys PvP on an MP server. One was in a Titan, the other was in a Hawk. Both attacking same time. Never lost shields, used batts one time. Beat them about...30 times in a row before I docked to refill Hornet CD. I was flying an Eagle with the following loadout:

2 TDC's
4 NEC's
Adv. C/M
Adv. Thruster
Adv. Brigadine HF CL10 molecular shield
Hornet CD
Ripper Mines

I was turning just as fast or faster than the guy flying the Hawk was. If you know what the **** you're doing, you can't lose.

Eagle...definitely..

After GMG jumped my with eagle (I was flying in a saber), I went to look around for that ship. Luckily there was some outcast around..

It is not only fast, it is half the size of the other two ship. cross section is small that you can miss it. But sometimes you break the small rear wings...

Hit your enemy when they are down
Hit your enemy when they surrender
Hit your enemy when they can't fight no more

Does losing parts like that (wings breaking off, or whatever) actually affect your ship at all? I thought it was only a cosmetic effect to show you were getting pasted.

Post Mon Apr 14, 2003 7:07 am

if you break the wings that carries guns, then you cannot use those guns anymore. You have to buy a new one. Fortunately, every single base out there can repair your ship to 100%. They should had restricted these to shipyyards or large bases....

Maybe the game can be more tactical if you break a wing or two some of your flying attributes gets slightly reduced..a mod?

Hit your enemy when they are down
Hit your enemy when they surrender
Hit your enemy when they can't fight no more

Post Mon Apr 14, 2003 7:22 am

Damn, I never realized that your gun is lost if that happens. I guess it makes sense, but it would really suck if you lost one that you couldn't get again (like if you pissed off the corsairs and they wouldn't let you buy another salamaca...). Oh well, I'll just be sure to not get my wings blown off...

i got to try out a few more loadouts and atm I'm really loving

2xTDC
2xSilverfire
2xnomad energy cannon (syncs perfectly with any of the 3.03 rr lvl10's!)
Skyblast B lvl9 rear turret
Sunslayer torp
ripper mines

I much prefer this to the diamondback myself due to it's refire rate and near the same lvl of damage.

Other honourable mentions are any of the other 3.03 refire rate lvl10's with the above combo and/or wyrm type II's or salamanca's.

I found killing nomads with 2 Wyrm's, 2 prometheus and 2 skyblast b's was also a tasty combo and all of those weapons are found nearby (I was still levelling up at the time and did have lvl7's and 8's mostly rotterblitz and natterturns/angelito's/salamanca's and that combo seriously helped me layeth the smack down while looting all the wrecks nearby with minimum hassles from nomads)

The more lvl10's I've tried on the more I'm inclined to stay the hell away from the refire rate of 2.0 on them, it just doesn't help and the energy drain is silly. Stick with 3.03 and sync with cannons/wyrm's/TDC's and I find I can take out up to 3/4 ships in my first pass on some missions with the help of a few mines/sunslayer torps

DiamondBacks class10, Wildfire class10, Skyblast B class9
