Equipment for the Banshee and the Hawk

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!

Equipment for the Banshee and the Hawk

I'm basically trying to set up a Banshee and a Hawk perfectly, to add to my collection of perfect LF. I use them in MP to take on Eagles mostly. I usually fight with guns but I'm willing to adapt and use missiles if it is more advantageous. Any help would be appreciated.

There's a bloody list you idiot!!
Go check there for all the level 6 guns and choose the most powerful.

I'm making record time!
If only I had someplace to be...

Thank you for your impolite flame. I mean, I asked for a nice little opinion. So why dont I take the two most powerful mismatched guns. If I'm taking on eagles, I presume I need shieldbusters, but then again, they're not the most powerful, so I dont need them, do I? I should put 4 missile launchers on it, all Moonstalkers or Catapults, because that is the strongest hull damage? More is involved than looking at a list you "bloody idiot".

I hate the Banshee 'cause if it had 4 level 7 hardpoints it'd be a hell of a lot easier to outfit it than with 2 level 6 and 2 level 7 hardpoints.

For the Hawk though, your best chance would probably be a pair of sweepers and a pair of catapults , but it'd still be considerably weak. Make sure to use Graviton shields. If that doesn't work then 2 Borrocco and 2 Pyros Type 1 might work better.

I don't make ships like these, and I probably never will, but this is my opinion on a couple of the most powerful (and most obvious) combinations of weapons.

Hawk:
2 Adv. Tarantulas (6), 1 Tarantula (5), 1 Catapult Missile (5).
Xeno Particle. Adv is from wreck in Bering.
This is for use on Eagles that have Class 8 Grav shields off a Titan.
- Or -
2 Pyros Type 3 (6), 1 Borroco (5), 1 Catapult Missile (5).
This is for use on Eagles with Class 10 Positron shields

A Cutter mine to supplement the Catapult, and Hornet CD.
Banshee I have no idea. Actually, this is a my Drake loadout, same hardpoints.
Way back in the DL section of this web site are real good wep spreadsheets.
