Tell The Supposed Truth?

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!

Tell The Supposed Truth?

I was wondering why everyone thinks the hobo (yes hobo) Eagle is so great? And I believe that this is like an RPG because the fact is all ships, between the Titan, Sabre and Eagle are pretty much all the same if you look at it as the Eagle with fast capable movements but weak in armor. Titan with the great force yet the slow frieghter movement, and the Sabre with agility but is big easier target to hit. So lets get the real truth on the ships and stop the bs or crap about what ship is superior or tell me what you think about my accuracy. Maybe you think I should be put in the nuthouse.



See You Online haha!

Eagly is the best...

and I don't care about your opinion..

Everyone prefers speed in a dogfight, hence the eagle. But don't forget about the forward firing turret on the sabre.

bah i could take out any of those in a fully outfited banchee (sp?) any day, well ambey not any day but definatly on a good day

Hammerhead for me. Next comes the Banshee. Next after that will be something a little lower. The class 10s are effectively shelved until I can succeed killing one each of Eagle, Sabre, and Titan in a decked out Patriot.

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

you guys are talking about the banshee, but i think the falcon is one of the greatest ships in the game. i took out 4 red hessian sabres with it, i have 3 hornvipers and 2 catapult missles. i think i lost shields once and that was on the first run. it was a lv. 38 mission too so its not like they wernt out fitted. it was hard, long, but a really fun fight. anyways i like it over banshee because it can hold guns a level over it. and its got more ports, and a bigger bay, and i just think its great, its maneuverability is awesome for a heavy fighter too.

Eagle is my choice.

Let' me repeat it for the 1000th time... after I literally flew rings around this guy in his Sabre with my Eagle I'm not going to use another VHF, unless I get bored that is.

salmancaturret as wel... the almost besteest homing mine and also
hornet cruise and adv. countermeas

y does there excist countermeasures?? i never use them, from the most missiles i flew away by turning or speed them out

Post Thu May 29, 2003 9:54 pm

i forgot something to write....

i like the dragon, 6 gun/missile hitpoints
1. dragon (to bad the weaepclass is up to 6 , but u can destroy VHF with it
2. drake (see above
3. eagle (best maneuvrability
4. stilleto (it's a good fighter, killed a lot of eagles with it
5. sabre (better weapon class then stilleto...

Post Fri Jun 13, 2003 2:14 am

why the hell would u think the falcon is the best when the eagle is higher in class???

sticks and stones may break my bones but whips and chains excite me!

Post Fri Jun 13, 2003 3:13 am

Ok...Here's my thoughts on the whole deal...The eagle is obviously the best choice for dog fighting and such hence its great manueverability. The sabre has a little bit more armor and has a forward turret mount, but is less on manueverability. The sabre is kinda the "median" of the two---eagle and titan. Now the titan, well for the titan, that's another story.
