Best Ship With 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!

Dude, you're asking for it, that's all I can say. I would say more, but I just woke up, so consider yourself lucky young padowan.

Besides Bio, you run a server, and I've seen you in the best ship layout, so what's the deal?

The best ship and whep combo is... a matter of opinion. In otherwords (sabre and kracken2's w/kracken turret)

*writes something down*

here's a prescription for...the opportunity to go try it for yourself!

Seriously, that's the only way you'll ever know which is best for you. Some like their Titan livers, others the Sabre, others the Eagle, and others don't even use class 10 ships at all. You might find out that the Hammerhead, or the Banshee, or the Drake...or maybe even the Patriot is right for you. Or maybe you'll find that trading is your business, and go with a Dromedary or a Humpback.

My advice is to try your own favorite design before taking the beaten path like everyone else...You may find a ship out there that you never had much respect for, until you flew it...

I will aid them when I can...if they give me a percentage of the salvage from whatever they frag along the way. Hell, they were even so kind as to sell me a ship after one of my jobs with them, and I've been flying her ever since. But god help them if someone puts a bounty on THEIR heads, for I don't care who I hunt for, as long as their live capture(or untimely death) can get me enough credits to buy a decent sized mug of my favorite drink."- A Freelance Bounty Hunter.

steel, the best missle is like fire... something or another, its better than a cannonball

And we'll have fun fun fun 'till daddy takes the sabre away!

If you're curious, try The Order Ship. It has 2 torpedoes, can mount class 10 weapon on all its hardpoints, unlimited storage for nanobots & shield batteries, looks like the Anubis but more light in weight, can carry 600 units of cargo, and much, much more... if you can acquire it (without modding, of course)

cid you mean the firestalker it is good as well personally i prefer cannonballs
i use them at point blank so the damage is more critical than the other attributes of the missile for the way i use them

Its all definitely a matter of opinion I think....

...but as far as missiles are concerned the cannonball's the one for me. Use the old-school elite technique...drop their shields, wait for them to turn and fire at you, accelerate and drop a cannonball on their head. Works every time for that quick demolition job.

yip thats what i use them for pvp a ripper fired at the same time makes sure of the kill

Post Wed Sep 10, 2003 6:20 pm

Would somone explain the fascination with misiles to me? I can't understand thire use, or torps for that matter. With your weapons you can cause the same result, thier death, for free! Some misiles cost a pretty penny and against stations you can spend more on sunslayers than you get paid! Shure it takes a little longer, but they are gona die anyway (in sp, never done mp ) so why pay for it through the nose?

it is mainly mp that missiles torps and ripper mines give you an edge
pvp they can be very effective if you drop them on someones head after trashing thier shields with shield killer guns
if you try mp im sure you will end up using at least one of the above if not all for pvp
