Counter shields X weapons

Sherlog , how does that FL version of keel-hauling go again?
Tie them to the hull and fly thru a jump hole?

For those of you who don't know; This is what most players do on MP servers:

1. Get neutral with criminals.
2. Buy a Dromedary
3. Make 2 mil
4. Buy a Drake or Barracuda
5. Kill their way neutral to Corsairs
6. Buy an Eagle
7. Go to Gamma's Unknown jumphole, get 4 class 8 Sals free
8. Go to Primus, kill Nomads til they have 4 Energy weapons
9. Kill their way for Corsairs to get Del Cids
10. Rule! Never have to worry about energy use again!

Total time: 2 hrs. Weee.

Totally missing in this gameplay: all other ships between Level 13 and Class 10
(10 ships out of 30, 1/3 of the game's ships are basically obsolete/unplayable!)

The reason? The same reason there are no medium-sized fish in a Shark Pool.

The fault? The idiot who decided that Nomad Energy Cannons/Blasters should use NO ENERGY.

Sorry if it seems like I hijacked this thread for my personal rant, but I have a point.

Always use Graviton shields until you buy class 6 for your fav Level 13 ship.
After that you will get a Class 10 Positron, as after that in your game you've got a VHF.
Forget about Class 7 & 8 Graviton, you'll never get a ship to mount it on. (and compete)

@Frobozz, it can be faster...

7 missions and buy the sabre/eagle...

begin, sell ur nano/batts, buy 2 class 2 guns and a better shield and buy for the rest of the money batts, and do the best mission u get, after that u can buy a patriot, go with that to kyushu and do the best missions u get, and buy as fast as possible the drake without the shield (about 2/3 missions (4/5 missions done)). fly to sansai research complex in kyushu and buy the class 6 graviton shield...
don't buy guns, but fly to freeport 10 and kill every cop/navy/hunter on ur way, by freeport 10 u land and launch, land and launch till outcast r better then -2 from absoluty neutral, go to their home planet (malta) buy their the best weaps u can get, and do 2 missions (missions done r 6/7 missions) and u can buy the sabre or eagle...

work time is about 1.5 to 1.75 hours....

about .5 or .25 hours work lesser then with trading around and have the same ship with loadout......
ps. this is also a little harder then trading around, co'z u do the best missions in a drake...

If u c some1 in a defender make fireballs from hunter it can be me
