Watching NPCs fighting.....

Tue May 20, 2003 4:01 pm by SeCrEt FJxX @ Starflier

Maybe i am a boring person...i like to watch them fight and fight(absolutely that is only possible when they are neutral to me)
So far the best fights i had watched:
Outcasts Sabre vs GMGs Eagle (Omicron Beta)
-- you will understand why GMG can win the 80 years war
(some GMGs are even in Falcon and they fight well against Sabre)
Hessians Sabre vs Corsairs Titan (Omicron Gamma)
-- nothing to say
Nomad Fighters vs Corsairs Titan (Omicron Gamma)
-- Nomads are crazy...i see 3 Corsairs vs 2 Nomads, one Titan just almost blew up (others have their shields damaged while the Nomads still looks alright) before i enter the war and killed those nomads
Bounty Hunters Hammerhead vs Corsairs Titan/Outcasts Eagle (Omicron Alpha, Gamma)
-- What bounty hunters have in advantage is only numbers...always sees them blew up before they can do anything if the amount between them and hostile ships are close..maybe 5 vs 1 then they can kill a Titan

What i wanna see:
Sabre vs Nomad Fighters
Titan vs Eagle
Eagle vs Hammerhead

P.S. i am in an Eagle when i witness those fightings...and it's totally differnt for you to fight against NPCs...(one Hawk(me) vs 5 Sabre, can still destroys them all with all my wings away)

Seen those..............I was friendly with GMG and a patrol flew by when a group of BHG Hammerheads decided to pounce on me, (was hostile toward them), so the GMG came to my aid. The Hammerheads had no chance, one by one was taken out.

Same thing for the Nomad and Sabre, (I am friendly with Outcasts), was trying to get Nomad weapons and as I was attacking a Outcast patrol came to my help, never really got to see some good action between them but it seemed that the Sabres had no chance of losing.

But I have yet to see Titan and Eagle...........so can't say.

the only NPCs with eagles don't go near nomads and their systems so there is no way to see eagles vs. nomads unless you r in a modded game... though i'm sure eagles would win

Once, long ago in a far-away land, I had a Sabre. i went off to omicron beta, thinking "oh, the eagle is weaker than the Titan or Sabre; this'll be easy. Needless to say, I was soon fleeing Omicron beta in search of an eagle to buy. But I have yet to gather the patience to sit and watch an NPC battle.

I saw the mollys figthing some enemy near their base..

All of them died, thanks to the mines the mollys put around...

Everytime I fight some npc in mine field, they always die

One of the most impressive looking NPC incidents I've seen was in Dublin, around Battleship Essex.

Myself and a few squad-mates were heading to the Hood via Essex when we got chased by a unit of around 6 Mollys. We didn't bother to fight them and carried on toward the Essex, when another group of Mollys joined the chase.

When we reached the Essex, as well as the usual Armed Forces fighter welcome, the battleship opened up with one of it's primary weapons, something that I've never seen before in the game. A massive, white, corkscrew-effect blast narrowly missed frying one of the Bloodhounds.

OK, not technically a an NPC dogfight, but it made me think twice about messing with Battleships in the future...

I spend about 15 minutes mining just outside Arranmore and I swear that at least 30 Mollys killed themselves in that time. Not the brightest lot: first they want Dublin for themselves, but there isn't even a planet in that system, then they line their own base with mines...

Anyway I regularly watch NPC battles and my favourites are ones with drakes, specially if they're flown by elite pilots. Nimble little buggers.

Something I noticed from watching the fights is a handy tip for the pirates out there: once a convoy gets into a fight, the heavy freighter trains will try to continue on it's way while the escorts stay behind to fight.
Hmm, defenseless freighter.

Why are you all crazy @ Eagles. Why are they so good. I have a titan myself and think that it is a very nice Ship. I had a sabre also but that sucks. Somewhat slow in the turning
