In PVP, using engine kill mode too much is bad because then it gets easy for your enemy to shoot your ship due to your velocity vector not changing.

I'm not sure about tactics for fighting hordes of NPC enemies in a Light Fighter. If you used a Drake with two Sweeper missiles and two Catapult missiles, charging head-on, firing the Sweepers, firing the Catapults, and then breaking off might work (I've done something similar in a Dromedary with Debilitator Turrets and dual Catapults). I'm not sure about using a Drake with guns; I've never tried it.

In light fighters you have to spend much more times dodging than shooting against higher ranked enemies however you can still us your tactics on crafts that are lvl 8 and lower for the most part. The patriot and Drake can dodge most very thing in MP and everything in Sp. But that does not necceasarily kill anything for you. Light fighters are good in dog fights with less than 20 enenemeis and at leats 3+ allies assuming your opposition is a similar skill level of npc

i toke the dagger in 245k missions and succeeded thus missions, i did the same with the defender, and also with the drake...

i destroyed an eagle in a pvp fight with my dagger... only by dogfighting and missile use (he hadn't a change to shoot at me )

what fight tactics did u use?


and, what are the most effective guns for a patriot? i heard somethin about Xenos tarantulas or scorpion or somethin like that. im talkin about SP

Orillion: So trent, will you help us with the mission?

Trent: Sure, as long as I'm not shot at, knocked out, held at gunpoint, electrocuted, skewered alive by giant alien shapeshifters, have to dive out windows, or fight off spindly nomad incubi.

ADV. Scorps have power if that is all you want. Missles are a good plus. SHield Killers are good if you let NPC shield sregen other than that it's your call

my dagger what i use is pvp outloaded, so a little worsher in missions, my tactics are the use off non-stalker missiles against thus hammerheads.

my outload;
- adv stunpulse
- slingshot missile
- sweeper missile
- dragoon type 2
- pyros turret type 1
- hornet cruise dis (for runners)
- ripper mine (mostly not in use)
- adv. countermeasures (not in use)

the shield i use is the graviton class 4 shield. this is the bestest shield u can put on the dagger itself (toke it mostly from the lane hackers base, just as the adv. stunpulse).

if u can see i have 2 anti-shield weaps, and 3 hull weaps. i toke an eagle in a pvp fight down with this outload also.

i don't do much off thus extreme missions, co'z i go mostly for high killratio, so took the dagger in liberty space on points where the titan have problems with the amount off spamming fire around... co'z the dagger is small and do enough damage over time, this is 1 off the bestest fighters in combat, i think the drake is the bestest in this, but i don't use it anymore, co'z it's way to easy for me to take the drake, even in omega-11 and omega-41 is it to easy for me with the drake. the dagger has more problems with the radiation itself... do'h... but flying from base to base and it can be a hard fighter also in thus systems (if i'm right).
