the ripper can be found on one of the wreaks by the unknown jumphole in omicron alpha i belive... check the sticky on the top of this forum

If I had a nickel for every time someone told me that my idea of building a giant robotic parrot out of melted down coins was a bad idea, I would have one kick a$$ giant robotic parrot.

Screamer is ok most of the time... but it is not strong enough to kill anybody at first hit (I mean, any heavy fighters...)

Wish there are some faster mines out there...

..and I just wonder, where do I buy one of those?...

Ripper=ownage.

Reaper: $200,000,000.
Rockets: $100,000
The look on that pilot's face when you launch a full pod of screamers up his tailpipe: priceless

hm...anyone who really USES mines? i mean, i got the ripper, as well as the sunslayer, but i dont use them...

Torpedos are pretty useless in MP; I rather go with a Hornet Cruise Disruptor on that slot. Mines, however, are very useful. Nothing like dropping a good deal of them on the first pass when enemies speed toward you.

Using the ripper frees up a weapon slot that you might have tied up with missles, especially good for headon attacks. Your target cant see them until to late and if you time it right you can Sow 2 or 3 so you take out there shields and part of the hull with main weapons and the mines soften them up for your next run.

Also just nice to watch someone with 3 of them stuck to them like glue when they finnally turn Too tight and Bang Big Red explosion.

But expensive very expensive to use, so best left for PvP
