Questions on attacks...

Fri Aug 29, 2003 6:45 am by lethallarry

Let's say that hypothetically, I wanted to be at war with everybody, and as such, started blasting the hell out of each and every thing that had the misfortune to come across my path...

1 - if/when you attach jump gates, can they be destroyed? If so, what happens then? Is there still a jump hole where the gate was? Does the gate get rebuilt? Am I asking too many questions?

2 - same thing for trade lanes... if you whack 'em, I assume they get repaired, no?

3 - stationary (dockable) facilities such as space stations and battleships - are they destroyable?

1: jumpgates are not destroyable
2: tradelanes shields can be dropped making them go offline but they do get fixed
3: stationary bases cannot be destroyed without mods

UP THE XENOS! Well thats what you would be, unless of course nuking trade lanes, being hunted by criminals and law abiders alike and being blown into next wednesday isnt your cup of cardamine.

Me:Ok One last chance to surrender!
Enemy:WHAT! We outnumber you 6 to 1!
Me: Maybe I could drop some weapons to make it easier for you!

Any object that is labeled on the map generally can not be destroyed (excepting for some of the hidden wrecks). I believe that they are flagged as invulnerable.

Someone mentioned a couple of planets that you could land on, even if you're at war with all factions.... what are those planets?

The two joke planets: Primus and <forgot name of robo planet>

Find em in the 2 "Unknown Systems" hidden in the border worlds, though they are pretty well gaurded by Nomad ships . . .

Oh... I was just making my way to those systems, anyhow... I want some nomad weapons. A lot of nomad weapons, in fact... I want lots and lots and lots of nomad weapons because I'm prettu friggin' sure they're worth a lot of money, and exploring all these radiated areas has pretty much evaporated my bankroll.

The resale value of the Nomad weapons is very low (about $4k) and they do not drop reliably unless you are rich. It seems that you need enough net worth to be level 32..34 in order to make the gods smile upon you. Note: it is the net worth that counts, not the level. Got Nomad gun drops during the campaign at level 13, when I went to fetch the Ripper mines from Omicron Alpha.

If you want to get rich from loot then kill Hessian Stilettos or Corsair Centurions until you have enough net worth that class 8 kit starts dropping reliably, and then switch to Hessian Sabres and low-level Corsair Titans (with class 8 Salamancas). Nice easy prey because they have weapons that do little damage (Hessians) or do not hit (Corsairs); quite unlike the Outcasts for example. When your net worth is back up to a level where class 9 kit drops then top up your Starkillers and start scouring hostile Omicron Alpha/Gamma. Fastest way to make money without trading or doing missions that might distort your rep sheet.

I have the starkiller torpedoes, but I've been thinking of selling them, as now that the story missions are done, there doesn't appear to be anything to use them on.

Hey LethalLarry! Use your torps on freigters and trains! Takes em down in about one! Now thats ordanance.

(That is if you dont know what Cyclonic Torpedos do....)

Me:Ok One last chance to surrender!
Enemy:WHAT! We outnumber you 6 to 1!
Me: Maybe I could drop some weapons to make it easier for you!

Sat Aug 30, 2003 6:35 pm by lethallarry

Actually, I haven't seen Cyclonic torps. I haven't been attacking freighters, other than Mules, as I haven't been in a hostile position with the freighter factions.... yet. I do have a couple of DIamondbacks and Onyx weapons mounted, and they are doing a hell of a lot of damage... I take out weapons platforms with only a few shots.

Hehe dont worry there not real. There from Warhammer and are used in the destruction of planets! Yes they destroy the planets biosphere thus putting it into spasms of destruction where it rips itself apart in a firery demise. Nothing escapes the devestation.
Still, a cool idea, just like my MOX bomb.

Wish I could mount my CODENAME weapons but at Lv 17 it just doesnt fit....

Me:Ok One last chance to surrender!
Enemy:WHAT! We outnumber you 6 to 1!

I recall the vortex missiles in warhammer.... pretty cool.

These are the words that appear in my signature.
Yes, I find it funny.

Sun Aug 31, 2003 10:16 am by Killzone

Hmmm didnt know all that many people here play/played Warhammer. There are a lot of great Mod ideas from that, but all the modders probably never heard of Warhammer....shame.
And bring back the Vortex missile/torp/thing! Opening extra dimentional gateways into the Ether must be soo much fun......

BANG! Bye bye planet! Hahahahhahahha.......

Guys, learn these facts:

Everything in the whole damn FL universe is destructable. Yes, they have a label on them saying indestructable, but if you change it, them dundundun...Guess what, you can blow up even suns!!
