the best ship

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!

of the three lvl ten ships, there are the titan, saber, and eagle.

the titan has the most armor and a better power system, holds more nanos and sheild batteries. However it is the slowest turning ship of the 3. I've seen many titans get a wing blown off resulting in lost weapons.

saber, handles well, power system is same as eagle, low frontal profile (hard to hit during head on strafing runs), i've never lost a weap due to high damage.

eagle, same power system as the saber, big wingspan, easy to hit when it's banking or from above/below. it pretty maneruable.

I personally fly the saber, i have it on 3 different servers, i play alot of PVP dogfighting and like it better than the other 2. (fixin to buy another saber on a fourth server tonight after my humpback gets me about another 500k)

Check 'pilotable ships' on this website, all ships + bases that sell em.

Is it true that Sabre handles better then a Titan? I tried all 3 but only Eagle seems to be doing well. Both Sabre and Titan were a little too clumsy and I didn't find any difference between the two.

My experience has been that the Sabre handles nearly the same as the Titan, and FAQs I have seen tend to agree.

The Sabre's one advantage is the usable turret. Normally, it's an additional hog in an already stressed power system. But, you get your obligatory 4 Nomad weapons ( the use no power ), you have a power surplus. You can actually afford the power budget to max out your remaining class 9 weapon slots, and the turret.

The other two fighters will have a one-gun disadvantage.

Are you sure you are not underestimating the eagle though I do fly a sabre yuo seem to neglect the fact that it can turn on a dime. It doesn't matter if you have a large profile or less armour if you can turn on a dime. On a 1 on 1 battle the eagle would win with it superb turning though when outnumbered be glad you can outrun any ship in the game especially when dodgin those cruise disruptors is much easier with an eagle. I fly a sabre by the way cause I am always outnumbered and low armour or low turning is a bad thing. I'll just stay in the middle for now... though I am fond of the eagle

Im using titan, its very strong.. You can find it at : omricon alpha/planet malta

but it is very expensive. I think 770.000 Crd.

the titan is relatively to be compared with a B-17 incredibly strong and less manueverable if you like strength and stamina (like me) above swiftness I would strongly recommend the titan

Post Sun Apr 27, 2003 7:13 pm

ok i got the saber and its really cool
now where could i get the level 9 equipment for that ship

Post Sun Apr 27, 2003 7:18 pm

you could get c9 weaps at Crete or Malta (and a few oher bases) but what you really want is some nice c10 weapons.

Gamma and if you want c10 weaponds go kill nomads when you are lvl 32(?). They cost 0 power and are the best guns in the game.

Post Sun Apr 27, 2003 10:55 pm

so where could i find lots of nomads to kill

Post Mon Apr 28, 2003 2:46 pm

i unknown system - i went there stupidly in a valkyrie with a class 6 shield a 4 nomads appeared - i didnt even bother too fight em because they took my shield down in 3 hits !!!
