Is it possible finishing the game using Starflier?!

I completed SP in a Drake. It's not terribly more advanced than a Dagger. Hmm. Now I just might have to try to do it in a Dagger. . . . . The shield generators in 9 minutes mission might be a bit interesting. Driller Mines should help there, though.

When I had the Drake I used a Dragoon Turret and 2 Dragoon Mk I's on it. I don't remember the class 3 guns, but I do remember they had a 4.00 refire rate and I'm pretty sure that I grabbed them off Xeno Startrackers, so whatever that gun is.

With the Drake I used 2 Dragoon Mk II's and 2 Dragoon Mk III's, and I finished the game with that loadout. And Driller mines, and Adv Countermeasures. I had a Cruise Disruptor, but in all honesty I don't remember ever firing it in the story missions.

Dagger in SP might actually work well with the gun loadout mostly but then switching the class 3 hardpoints to Slingshots for the generator mission might work. Arg! Now I have to try that!

Torps are waste of money. I had the Starkiller and used it on a couple of missions. I found that you can rip up a station/battleship/gunboat with good guns just as fast as sitting there launching torps.

That mission where you've gotten the Anubis and you're fighting Nomads and Rheinland ships near the jump gate. I died so many freaking times trying to get to the Osris it wasn't even funny. I never thought I'd get past it, I only had like 2 nanobots and no shield batteries, just makes me ill thinking about it now. After that mission I couldn't wait to upgrade.

I don't think you could get very much further than level 10 in the starflier that poor little thing would be like a nat in a hornets nest.

I like to use a gun and torpedo assault on stationary targets, plus it more cool. Like when you destroy the generators before you enter the Dyson Sphere I would wittle down the generators with guns and torpedos until it would be killed with 1 starkiller hit and I would launch a starkiller then pull up and head for the next generator. I found torpedos in SP to be quite useful and without them It undoubtable would've been much harder for me to beat the SP Campaign.

Once I had the Anubis (Which was the only ship i'd had to allow torpedo launchers) I couldn't find anywhere that would sell me the launchers... maybe i'm just being dumb, but it seemed like the Osiris didn't sell them. I managed to complete SP without torps anyway so it didn't matter I guess, but destroying the nomad gens was a PITA, would have been nice to get something more powerful than those missiles.

Torps are very useful as fire-and-forget weapons in the Nomad missions...I wouldn't be able to make do without them. They aren't SunSlayers, but they're good enough to help you get the job done faster.

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
