Sabre setup

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!

2x cannonball
2x kraken type 2
2x salamanca mk.2
salamanca turret


salmanca are trash, co'z kraken type 2 are powerfullier, if you change 1 off the salmanca into a tizona del cid and the other in the kraken type 2 or a high firerate flak-gun... this will result in a better consumption off energy and will destroy a enemy some faster.

ps. the outload i suggested (only outcast) is good enough against npc, but for pvp, i would suggest a total div outload;

- tizona del cid
- cannonball launcher
- neutralyzer launcher (paralyzer if possible)
- 3 flak cannons (bounty hunters or gmg fast fire weaps)

Does it really matter? All the setups listed here could waste anything in the colonies in about five seconds anyways. If a light fighter can kill a battleship, you shouldn't have to worry in a sabre no matter what you're packin

Hmm... depends what you're planning on fighting, as well as your personal preference ie. do you use missiles (I don't).

I used to fret over my sabre loadout but them I realized that it takes all the challenge out of the game. Things get a bit more dicey flying in Omega-41 in a Valkerie, and I considering downgrading again just for the fun of it. Try to see how close you can come to dying without actually getting there.

Anything will do, as long as you have a bumper sticker that says "My brother thinks sabres are a cheese"

"Death to ZugZug!"

I'd say:-

4 Nomad Blasters
1 Tiz
1 Salamanca Mk II (as this matches your other weapons speeds, so doesn't mess up your weapon lead)

You don't need all four class 10 slots to be filled with Nomad guns IMHO. That's a waste of power. Use Codenames or some other weaps, like Skyblast B's. That way you don't waste all that power.

Signature? What's that?

Post Fri Apr 09, 2004 9:12 am

But why?!!

Skyblast B's do less damage/sec and have a shorter range than Nomad Blasters!!

So what if your power is going to waste!!?

Post Fri Apr 09, 2004 9:22 am

Power is only an issue when your output is greater than your generation, there's nothing wrong with it being lower. Unless you're an obsessive type

i hate the sound and color off all nomad weaps... and as some1 also said (only don't know who, and he's also on thus lancersreactor.com);


the way that i see nomad weaps is that their are legalised cheating.


it's the same in c&c generals zero hours when using sw-gen (sw cost half the normal price, the use off aurora alphas), or for n00bs it's the stealth gen (i like this 1 better, co'z the player makes this gen or fail with it, and not the extra weaps you got with it).

the odd in here is that n00bs don't care if they come against the sw-gen, but don't wanna fight against the stealth gen, but the stealth is easily destroyable when the n00b is playing the game by a simpply rule (i don't gonna say this 1 ).

- edit; putting the quote end at the right place

Something is either legal or it's illegal (ie cheating). By definition, it can't be both!

Therefore, to say using Nomad Energy Blasters is legalised cheating is like saying President Bush is a smart idiot !
