best weapons for the 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!

best weapons for the Titan

Hi all

this is purley personal preference ..but what would you recommend as the best weapon sequence on the titan ?

Post Tue Jul 22, 2003 5:43 am

I'd recommend a different ship.

But that's just me.

Anyway, there are more than plenty of this kind of thread lying around...it pays to go have a look, there are lots of configs out there.

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

2 Tizona Del Cid's - Tripoli Base Omicron Gamma - Corsair
4 Nomad Blasters or Nomad Canons - Omicron Gamma - Kill Nomads in their own system. (F2)

Include a Torpedo launcer/mine/countermeasure
Full load of Nanobots and Shield batteries and you can't lose a battle against the AI anymore, however, if you lose against the AI with this setup, then your piloting skillz needs.....uhmm...practice...LOTS of it

Currently I have all sorts of level 10 weapons mounted on my Titan. I chose not to include Nomad weapons, because they have a faster firing rate. I tractored in a level 9 buckshot and added a firestalker homing missle launcher. Just for fun (and losing a lot of money, FAST) you can add a sunslayer torpedo launcher (Bruchsal Base- Bundschuh).
I can't shoot fast, but if when I hit something IT'S DEAD. High energy weapons with a long refire rate...reminds you of a shotgun, doesn't it...

@Triple Helix, a shotgun do the most damage at close range, a sniper is a slow firerate with extreme range and good damage

why not taking real corsair weaps like tizona del cid and salmanca and fight at the frontline of omega-5.... every1 can handel no-energy using guns

@Dragonbreath, Tizonas and Salamancas cannot be equipped on any ship that is suitable for Omega-5 (i.e. class 5/6 ships, or perhaps the class 7 Stiletto if you are still learning how to fly). You might as well use a Drake to kill Daggers, Wolfhounds and Barracudas instead of Sabres, Titans and Hammerheads.

The weapon loadout for the Titan does not matter since its only use is to protect the class 8 graviton shield inside it while you drive to a place where you can buy a Valkyrie or Falcon ...

A simple, powerful and cost-effective gun loadout for any class 10 VHF is
1 x Tizona del Cid (bought)
1 x Salamanca Mk II (looted)
2 x Nomad Energy Cannon (looted)
2 x Nomad Energy Blaster (looted)

For PvP duels you could use a missile launcher instead of the Salamanca.

don't forget the salmanca turret...

and i mostly fly in a drake (best maneuvrable)

and i do also 150k payment jobs without using a lot of shieldbats... and no nanobot, not every1 can say that with a class-10 fighter, even i can't

ps. he ask about weap outload on titan, not about some lower class or a higher class or an other same class fighter...

about sabre and eagle i will tell something else
use for the titan only corsair weaps
use for the sabre only outcast, hessian or bunscuch weaps
use for the eagle only the weaps of 1 faction what uses also eagles

and see of u can kill an other class 10 fighter with nomad weaps in ur 1 faction only weaps fighter

if so, maybe then u come somewhere

With a weapon setup like my first post,and a class 10 Corsair Shield loaded on an Eagle, I do the 250K missions for the Corsairs against the Bounty Hunter Hammerheads and I don't have to use Shieldbatteries or Nanobots, At all. Solo. Heck, I've even flown to the GMG base and took out 40+ GmG Hawks without using S-Batt's or Nano's.

With a Titan, you don't have the forward firepower of a Saber, and you lack the manueverability of an Eagle. Your advantages are more armor, a greater number of nanobots and batteries, and a more powerful powerplant with increased energy generation. The armor and increased bots/bats gives you about a 9% advantage in durability in theory. In practice however, You are unlikely to use all your nanobots before you die in combat - few people do. That drops the benefit ratio somewhat. The remaining figure is probably not worth the sacrifice in manueverability/firepower.

However, If I was to fly a Titan, I'd probably try to use ALL of the advantages, and tailor my combat style to fit with the result. To do this, you might try equipping weapons that typically drain a great deal of energy. I've seeen many a player mounting 4 Diamondbacks on their eagles, and the use of these would certainly be slightly easier with the better corsair powerplant. Another possibility would be standard (high projectile speed) weapons such as Skyblasts or krackens, since using 4-6 of these at once can represent a significant drain.

I don't know that I would try a Titan, but if I did, I would certainly attempt to use it for what it was good for, and simply build a combat style around what I ended up with.

I use this loadout:

2x Sunstalker class 7
1x Cannonball class 9
1x Lancer class 7
1x Neutralizer class 7
1x Catapult class 5
1x Starkiller torp

I'd say for a Titan high speed guns and high refire rate. Because it lacks the agility, it needs to fire quick and hard in order to benifit it's advantages (larger powerplant) and compansate the disadvantages.
An Eagle or a Sabre can do with less velocity and with less fire rate, cause you've got the agility to keep it lined up properly in order to make every shot worth it.
Ofcourse a skield killer is alway usefull

To all the n00bs I've flamed before...
