Best Weapons?

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!

Best Weapons?

I am wondering if anyone knows what the best lavel 10 weapons are, or the best combo using them, and where to find them. Also I would like the location of the "ripper" mine. Thanks for the help!

My vote goes to the Nomad cannons. As for the Ripper mine, I'm not exactly sure. But you should try Malta or Crete (they tend to have the best weapons). If that doesn't work, you could check Leon base, Ruiz base..and a few others.

The best weapons hands down are the nomad weapons, which do the most damage of all and use no energy. As for the Ripper Mines, they are not buyable. They are located in a few of the wrecks by the unknown jumphole in Omicron Alpha.

I'm actually almost as disillusioned with Rippers as I am with Sunslayers. They do massive damage, sure, but the price tag per shot is a bit ridiculous. I'm thinking of going back to the Cutter mine myself. (next HM down, 1/3 price per shot)

I too was searching for those doggamned ripper mines, but i was led in the right direction... go to upper right hand corner of the wrecks near the jump hole to the unknown system

Corsair Titan Ship
2 Wyrm Type 2
2 DiamondBacks
2 Nomad Energy Cannons
1 Buckshot Turret
1 Starkiller Torpedo launcer (where is the Sunslayer)
1 Adv. Countermeasure dropper.

And all the rest of the hidden weapons in cargo bay.

I say this is a really good weapon setup.
Now where is the sunslayer.

Sunslayer can be bought from Bruchsal base. Frankfurt, I think.

Right above Planet Holstein.

The best all-rounder weapons are the DIAMONDBACK secret weapons (hidden on an Old Navy Fighter wreck in one of the Sigma systems, I think), the Nomad guns (dropped occasionally by Nomads in by the 'Unknown Jump Hole' in Omicron Alpha and Omicron Gamma, the Ripper Mines (found on a wreck by the Unkown Jump Hole in Omicron Alpha), the Cannonball and Firestalker (i think that's the name) missle lauchers sold on Planet Malta, the buckshot turret (can't remember where), and the SunSlayer torp launcher (found only on Bruschal Base, after you have finished all the SP missions). I put this lot on a Titan, and I am now thoroughly invincible!

the diamond and cerberus have almost everythin the same, exept the grafics when u shoot...

but kraken do almost the same hulldamage in 1 second, the div is only just a few points...

Post Thu Jul 03, 2003 3:33 pm

Diamondback and Cerebus have the most damage, yes, but their efficiency isn't as good as the Wildfire...of all the L10 Wreck guns (In other words excluding Nomad weapons) the Wildfire is the most efficient.

Post Sat Jul 05, 2003 5:33 pm

Best combo

1. Firestalker missile
2. Tizona el Cid
3. CERBERUS
4. Nomad Cannon
5. CERBERUS
6. Nomad Cannon
7. Sunslayer torpedo
8. Ripper Mine
9. Adv. Countermeasure dropper
10. Sunblast B turret

Hope I spelled the names right

if u wanna have a weap with almost the same damage a sec as the cerberus/diamondback and a lower energy use u must take the kraken type 2 class 9 weap

kraken type 2
586 hull-dam a single shot
4.00 firerate
2344 damage a sec

122 needable energy a single shot
4.00 firerate
488 needable energy a sec

Diamondback/cerberus
1173 hull-dam a single shot
2.00 firerate
2346 damage a sec

293 needable energy a single shot
2.00 firerate
586 needable energy a sec

Wildfire
1075 hull-dam a single shot
2.00 firerate
2150 damage a sec

220 needable energy a single shot
2.00 firerate
440 needable energy a sec

i don't say u will use this every second, co'z ur target is also moveable, the most times u have a duration of .5 sec to make the most damage in a dogfight, and a copple of time, in a head-to-head-fire u will have a longer firespray to ur target (he shoot back at ur face) then it would be nicer to have the most destructive weap with the longest range, this can be .5 till .9 sec of fire, sometimes 1.0 sec.

the head-to-head-fire r mostly usefull for heavy armored fighters, the dodge for fragile very maneuvrable fighters...

by head-to-head-fights u use engine kill to turn.... by an other player who dodge u, u may not use engine kill, co'z ur an easy target that way... if u have some div to get ai pilots use the hea-to-head-fights u will get hurt, but he will be die easlier that way. and if u know that he's to strong for hea-to-head-fights just dodge him in to his grave .

if u do missions the first thing what u do is a head-to-head-fight and mostly turn into a dogfight, then u must have a weap-type what u like the best, but my advice is a weaponclass what doesn't drain ur powerplant totaly after a few shots.. i had that sometimes and thats damned f*cked up when u dodge a heavely fighter .

if u read this sh*t, i will say 1 thing... i hope u learned something, otherwhise u spended time with nothing
