i think the sunslayer was designed for PlayervsPlayer in Multiplayer.

maybe but Sunslayer is so slow for a fighter, even for a freighter, am i right?...But maybe there is a secret for it.

I don't know what it could be for besides PvP. The amount of damage it does isn't that much greater than a few shots from all my lvl 10's, so it's really pretty useless for kill base missions and such, especially being 7k each...

In PvP people tend to rather mount a cruise disruptor than a torpedo.

Nothing more fun than keeping them from running away.

The only use a torp ha in PVP is that first pass...after that, you probably won't ever land a hit with a torpedo.

Someone once said that the sunslayer says what its name does. And that they shot a star and it created a supernova, and they rode on the wave of it. I think this is Bull ****. The sunslayer was probably designed to be a superweapon against other players just for fun. Maybe its just something to work for. I do like the ~11000 hull damage it does.

The Unknown has already been known by something else..

Yeah I think we'll all agree that the claim of it destroying the star was a big, fat lie. I suppose the Sunslayer's probably there to be a really powerful torpedo for people who want really powerful torpedoes. If someone uses the starkiller all the time and loves it, then finds the sunslayer, they'll probably flip out. I guess that's what it's for. I personally think they're too damn slow to be of any use.

things to do with the sunslayer (other than the cosmetic effect and telling everybody you have a 100 thousand worth of ammo on board..)

1) Shoot and ram it
2) shoot at the planet, see if it turns hostile.
3) Aim it at docking freighters/trains
4) use to take out those stubborn turrets.
5) fire it backwards..(cut off engine first)
6) shoot it and chase it, see how far it goes..
7) shoot it at titan/sabre
sell it and buy a cruise distruptor...

I want to go back to trading and forget this sunlayer thing until a patch comes out..

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

i tried to do #6 on your list but i had to keep changing speeds to keep up with it/ not go too far ahead of it but i lost it. it went pretty far

gee, that guy's cool.

Easiest way to chase a missile is to look at it's projectile speed. Then, come to a full stop. Fire one off, then slowly jack up your speed until you're going about the same as it is (preferably a little on the slower side). If it gets a little far away, just tap your Burner key.

well to make a torpedo fast all ya gotta do is after burn

DONT even try to reverse thrust - it goes way too slow!!!!
