Rapier Turret

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!

Use Rheinland weapons. Firekiss mkII's are almost as good as level 10 weapons, and Hornvipers are some of the deadliest available equipment on the market. Then again, I may have a bit of a bias twords Rheinland... --- RR16

Whoever came up with "Mission Commision" should be lined up and shot

Git, while I was searching the internet, all I found was stats about this
turret but no location. Shield 808, 2nd best weapon for shields...

DOOM, I already found it at Tripoli Shipyard in Omicron Gamma system. Every
time I post something, I find the answer after half an hour, pih! I don't
want any other turret, because this is the one with the most shiled damage.
Thanks anyway.

RheinlandRules16, as I said to DOOM, all I'm interested in is shield damage.
This is most powerful turret that I know of. Of course I use some other
*deadly* weapons, such as DIAMONDBACK and CERBERUS (2x each) and one more
class 9 weapon that does about 1200 shield damage. Plus Cannonball missile,
Ripper mine and Sunslayer torpedo launcher. All that on a Titan ship. Well,
I think there's no other weapons that beat those ones

what about Nomads guns?

by the way the titan turrent is useless when you are forwarding your enemy, the turrent is hidden in the titan back.

if you want a forwarding turrent try Sabre, thats makes Sabre the most VHF FirePower (yeah more from Titan and Eagle).

its just got 61 nanos/battres and less hull from Titan.

no offense doom... but what kind of question is "do you still not have the internet?" in an online forum? i was just wondering.

and as far as sheild turrets go, or all guns anyway, get 2 tizona del cids (1200 sheild damage) and 4 nomad energy cannons... its relatively cheap for this stuff. only 340,000 for the lot if u buy nomads from other players (players usually charge 25k per nomad wep)

Well, well, well... what should I say... it's all a matter of taste!
I personaly use turrets for taking shields down and guns for both shields
and hull (DIAMONDBACK & CERBERUS). I was amazed too by those Nomad guns,
blasters, cannons, lasers and all those Nomad **** I don't know the names for.
In one word, they suck! They may have 3.03 refire rate, but they are NOT the
deadliest weapons. I also use class 9 weapon Tizona del Cid for ships that come
in front of me (and it's much stronger than turret), and Rapier turret for
taking down ships that come behind me. So I have eyes everywhere, and it
doesn't matter if that turret can shoot only backwards. And by the way, 10
bats/bots and 2000 hull power is not "just"! I say again, it's all matter of
taste. As the programmers said themselves, Titan is "the one"! Dot.

@Burs

first check the sticky spoiler about All stats (guns, turrents ....)

>I was amazed too by those Nomad guns,
>blasters, cannons, lasers and all those Nomad **** I don't know the names for.
>In one word, they suck! They may have 3.03 refire rate, but they are NOT the
>deadliest weapons.

No, Nomads are the deadilest and the best just check sticky spoiler and the weapens stats, try making your best guns mounts, then insted of all class10 mounts put nomads! and the difference in the Excel file.

Nomads Blaster: 4.00 (you could have not find it)
Nomads Canon: 3.03
Nomads laser: only in SP, used against you in the mission when you free the Liberty president

check the guns stats in spiler Exel file.

and you forgot that Nomads are 0 energy, so you can fire all the time!

yes its a matter of taste

my Sabre:
TDC/ or firestalker
TDC
Cerebrus (take much energy) / Wild-fire
Dimondback (take much energy) / Silver-Fire
Nomads Blaster
Nomads Canon
Turrent: Skyblast B/Rapier

I just like to use different guns for fun, and change ships all the time.
you should do that until you find the best combo, some combos are better against AI, some could be good in PvP, but every thing relative some gr8 players could beat titans in drakes!

my Red-Alert status:

Eagle (could be titan)
TDC
TDC
Canonball/firestalker
Nomad Blaster *3
turrent (does not matter)

Sabre:
Canonball/firestalker
TDC
4*nomads Blaster
Turrent: Rapier ( I could use it insted of TDC since Sabre got forward turrent)

* check the nomads guns stats (Hull Damege/sec & Shild Damege/sec) they are the best specialy if you like 4.00 speed.

>and Rapier turret fortaking down ships that come behind me. So I have eyes >everywhere, and it doesn't matter if that turret can shoot only backwards. And
true, also use mines.

>by the way, 10bats/bots and 2000 hull power is not "just"! I say again, it's all >matter of taste. As the programmers said themselves, Titan is "the one"! Dot.
Titan is slow but its your choise (I like it 2), and usualy all duels PvP in MP no one use nanos/bats. so in very series duels I would mount on my titan:

TCD
TCD
CanonBall
CanonBall
2* NomadBlaster
Turrent: (does not matter)

Shield 808, 2nd best weapon for shields...

That's more of an opinion thing. The Adv. Debilitator Turret does 3 less hull damage, 2 less shield damage. but is over 34% more energy efficient. I would gladly sacrifice the 5 damage for that much energy efficiency.
And by 2nd best weapon, I assume you meant 2nd best turret, because the Adv. Debilitator Gun is more accurate than the Rapier Turret (and Adv. Debilitator Turret) and does the same damage for the same energy efficiency as its turret counterpart.

@[ZN-Viper

do you know other bases beside the samura base in kuyuso that sell it, I know about some Bases in liberty that sell the gun but do not remmember there names.

how did you know that
Adv. Debilitator Gun/Turrent is more accurate than the Rapier Turret?
