Humpback EQ recommendations?

Wed May 07, 2003 6:21 am by PercyJones

Ive gotten myself a Humpback and are s l o w l y getting the hang of turretviewdriving. Not an instantscience for me.. however the outfitting isnt excactly clear to me either. I did search on various combinations on Humpback, tactics, weapon and so on but not much on it. So please experienced humpies:

What would you outfit your Humpie with?

Im atm stuck in Frankfurt with far to many Hessians. My feeble attempts to escape havent done it for me, yet. I need to get even with them somewhere. Helgoland and Mainz have been posted as Hessianbribeable spots on the forums. No luck there at all. Diamonds to Tokyo is what Im trying to haul. Doesnt seem like a highpercentage shot atm tho.

Where do I bribe of the Hessians?

If I cant work it out Ill probably try the Manhattan/Cambridge route instead. Im sure a search will bring in lots of traderoutes but while at it:

Any tradeable routes recommended for a newbie Humpie?

advTHXance for any input!

well, humpbacks arn't really good for fighting. they are slow are hell. massive targets and even at the best wepon loads it lacks stopping power. but... what I normaly do is taget somthing in the distance, press 'go to' and if someone causes any trouble just hit turret view or 'v' and blast away. don't try to dogfight, just run and shoot. as for your rep hack question, try the first thread on this forum titled "Rep-Hack-List". If someone trys to disrupt your cruse, press 'z' before the wasp hits you and coast and shoot. anyway thats my 2 cents.

If I had a nickel for every time someone told me that my idea for melting down coins to make a giant robotic parrot was a bad idea, I would have one kicka$$ giant robotic parrot.

Use class 5 wepons that shoots at 700ms or faster. Example, steahlblade + stunpule.

Works like magic..

for the front, you may just want to fit in missiles..

Check out my multi-part post on this forum, I just added to it.

It's titled simply 'Humpback'

Let me know if it helps, etc.
