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!

The best ship is specific to what it's purpose is. The Eagle (My Ship!) Is the most manuverable and the Titan is the exact opposite with the Sabre somewhere inbetween. It's really just a matter of preference.

P.S @JohnSteve, where is the Order ship? Or are you just a cruel and evil person dedicated to preying on innocent n00b's?

Also the shear amount of damage missles/rippers/torps can do to the opponents hull means they have no time to use nanobots to repair the damge. Using pure guns costs less in the long run but all your fights will likely last till the last bot is used if you are fighting anyone of a decent skill.

How much does multiplayer differ from regular play?

Depends, if you're taking on a player the fight will be a lot tougher (if you and your opponent are playing fair ) because he will use bats/bots aswell. And if your connection isn't optimal or if you have terribla lag problems, fighting is allmost impossible.
Fighting NPC's is just like SP, apart from the connection problems you might have.

My first PvPfight was at FP9. I had a Falcon with class 6 weaps (don't ask), he had a Titan with (I think) class 9 weaps. I managed to shoot of one of his wings before he fled and docked with FP9 for repairs. It took all my bats and most of my bots, but I totaly kicked his @ss
I felt great, knowing that I had him with my inferior weapon loadout.

P.S @JohnSteve, where is the Order ship?

It's in shiparch.ini file, located at FL data folder. The Order sent 5 of them to destroy the Donau, when Trent just began his 1st mission.
However, one can acquire it without MOD-ing: Try editing the save game files, the info can be found on this forum.
I'm just saying that The Order Ship too deserves a consideration as one of the best fighter ship around.

Too bad you can't get the order ship without editing a save game file.

Might as well just post a save game file with it to the forum download section.

Never thought about misiles and other high explosives in MP. Npc's don't use many bots
