Best Equipment for Titan

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!

Mastawage, I used to have 4 Nomad guns until the other day when I got two Cerberus... The combination of 2 cannons and the Cerberus/Diamondbacks do way more damage, kills those stupid Hammerheads a hell of a lot easier. So my advice is to keep the Cerberus.

Eagle
2 Salamanca MK II
2 Nomad Cannon
2 Cerberus'
Ripper Mine
Sunslayer Torpedo ( Just fire it when AI goes Head to head , should take off nearly all the shields on a hammer head )
Adv CM

The best thing you can get for any of them is a Hammerhead.

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

For any class 10 VHFs,

2x Tizona Del Cid
2x Nomad Energy Cannon
2x Nomad Energy Blasters
Sunslayer Torpedo

The Nomad weapons have different refire rates, so you have a "machine gun" effect, which is really important in PvP since your opponent will be bouncing all over the sky unlike the NPCs. The Sunslayer torpedo actually moves at 260 m/s if you launch it while going at full afterburner speed (compared with 290 or 299 for the missiles, there is really not much difference between them in terms of respond time for your opponent), it has better turn rate than some missiles, doesn't take up a gun slot, not to mention doing massive amount of damage. I probably shouldn't give out my tactical secrets here but I can do one-pass-kill if my opponent is stupid enough to press on with a head to head gun pass on me.

what weapon isn't realy important at all, but it's nice to have massive weapons. ;P

i have a hulldamage of 13208 without turret, torpedo, disruptor or mine
i like that, and all my weapons have the same firerate: 4.00

take a ship what u like, try to find out if u like the maneuvrability and the armor rate, that's why i taked the sabre
the unmaneuvrable titan is very heavy and cost a lott , but if u ask if i flew in it, it's yes

try fighting against players in multiplayers for money and find out if u like all ur wepons and if u like the ship u realy have...

i can say i recomender this type of weapons, but i don't, and u know already know what weap i got...

and y some those sunslayer torpedo, i don't know, i like my cruise disruptor better

4x nomad cannons. 2x skyblast B. skyblast B turret. Sunslayer torpedo. Adv. countermeasure dropper and ripper mine. I have this and I am dominant.

You know CW, you're the most sensible guy I've ever seen. Why? Because you use EXACTLY the same config as I do. I hopé many will do as he does, for that is the only right thing.

UNLESS you use the flrebalance mod in which case you should use Vampire 3s. Please not this is ONLY in the FLrebalance as they suck otherwise. I mean, 220 hull damage on a lvl 8 gun. Come on...

I can't wait until I find a really good mod where I can fly the Liberty Cruiser... Ah... Sweet dreams Buffalo Base, 'cause here comes the almighty Projectile in the Dorsetshire (yeah, I'll call her that...) to blast your puny base to even punier pieces! WAHAHAHAHAHAAA!

Hell, who needs to be able to fly? I've got me a tank. Best shield on my titan, 4 Diamonbacks, a Wyrm Type 2, a Tizona, Firekiss Turret, Screamer mine, Adv. Counter, and a big sign on the side that says [Medium Pimpin.

Post Sun Jun 01, 2003 3:52 am

4 Skyblast B, 2 BIGASSED missiles, sunslayer, ripper. Thee hee. Oh.. and one more thing... it's a hammerhead.

I hope NOBODY use that configuration! Otherwise how am I going to kick their butts over and over and over and over again???

Who cares what ship and what weap u use, the only thing what matters is if u can destroy something

I love the Titan... durability, looks (IMO anyway), power and purple lights all combined into the perfect Corsair package. While I've been using the slightly more maneuvorable, if more 'cheap looking', Series-Z of late, I'll never stop wanting the Titan... I fly it like an extension of my body. Slow and cumbersome though it may be, its more majestic than a Starflier... IMO anyway.

My loadout...

2X Cannonball Missile Launchers
2X Nomad Energy Blasters
2X Nomad Energy Cannons
1X Hornet Cruise Disrupter (my occasional nickname isn't 'Buccaneer' for nothing)
1X Ripper Mine Dropper
1X Advanced Coutermeasure Dropper
1X Level 10 shield

Works for me. I've made over 6 million credits from piracy goodies with it... must be fairly good. Anyone flying a freighter near any of the Omega systems better watchout. I've taken down humpbacks and a few Eagle and Sabre escorts before now with those weapons

Post Wed Jun 04, 2003 3:46 pm

so... i started by my character imidiate with piracy and criminal activity (yep, lev 0, starflier)

my ships i flew with (by this char) r:
- starflier
- dagger
- stiletto
- sabre
- titan
- sabre (i didn't like the titan)

i maybe turn my sabre into a eagle, better maneuvrability
