Patriot''s Darkes and many enemies

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!

Patriot''s Darkes and many enemies

1 Are 4 adv. scorps the best weapons for a patriot for those who do not use missles well?
2 Can a Patriot beat a Drake assuming both pilots are equally skilled?
3 How do you survive when you are using a regening shield mod and have 20+ enemies fighting you?
Thanks for your time

1. Check the weapons/ship stats thread.
2. No, considering the Drake is superior in every way.
3. You don't.

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

1 Are 4 adv. scorps the best weapons for a patriot for those who do not use missles well?

Consider adding an adv. stunpulse to that, to give the ship an extra anti-shield kick. Otherwise, it will probably take you too long, depending on the enemy, to deal with shields. Practicing a bit more with missiles or mines would be better, since those are the most damaging weapons (especially mines) such a low-level ship can use.

2 Can a Patriot beat a Drake assuming both pilots are equally skilled?

Probably not- both ships have around the same turning speed, and since the Drake has a significant armor/shield/firepower advantage, the Patriot pilot would have to be a lot better at flying to win. In a match of equal skill, the Drake would win.

3 How do you survive when you are using a regening shield mod and have 20+ enemies fighting you?

I don't have much experience with those, but the best advice would probably be to hit your thruster, kill engine, and turn around to face them- that should get them off your tail. In other words, run away.
