Banshee

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!

Banshee

Well, having equipped the Drake so easily, I thought the Banshee would be easy, but it's so hard. I know I'll need Ripper mines and a Lancer missile at least, but any other ideas?

Stealthblade Mk II. Many people say it doesn't exist, but try Pirna Border Station in the Dresden system (for all you guys out there, this is also the only station where you can find the level 9 Rheinland weapons)

Stealthblades always seemed a bit . . . weedy. I was wondering whether a lancer, a delib and 2 borrocos was viable, or if there are any decent guns.

Another possible loadout is 1 or 2 debilitators and 2/3 Sunblast Bs (buy at Aomori station) - that matches the weapon speeds correctly

If I were you, I would put a sunslayer on ther, thats if you like to blow things up

Or you should put the disruptor on if you want to kill people

@Charles, you can't mount torps on a Banshee. LF, remember?

lancer missile, neutralyzer missile, borroco, pyros type 3

this outload is a player killer outload... but can also be used in missions

depends what you want to kill
i like sunblast a & b on a banshee unless im going up against sabres it works well even against the gmg eagles in beta
if pvp then it does need a shield killer missile or gun but missiles do start to get expensive after a few misses

@steel, what do u think about the cannonballs

lancer is a good missile in damage for price...

cannonballs are a load of b£$£S unless its pvp
not much good on a banshee though

Post Wed May 05, 2004 2:29 pm

2 debilitators
2 sunblast A's

Post Thu May 06, 2004 11:16 am

i know steel...

but against some ships they are only overkill.... an eagle is down with 1 cannonball... so shooting cannonballs on everything below the eagle is overkill... i'm not sure if it can destroy an sabre with total hull with 1 cannonball, but i'm sure that the titan still lives after 1 cannonball hit at full hull...

i mean in pvp-fights... some npc will still fly (damned hunters) but needs sometimes up to 3 cannonball missiles...

If you have enough money to sustain the use of a Cannonball launcher, you have enough money to use it on smaller targets.

Actually, I think steel was implying that you can't mount Cannonballs on a Banshee because its highest class gun is 7-8.

I'm flying a Banshee, I only play SP and I like shooting.
I don't go for all-missile equips and only fire missiles when the going gets tough.

I have two equips:

1) For mixing it up with the big boys (Eagles, Sabres, etc.)
Lancer
Debilitator
2x Adv. Tarantula

2) For when not in the Omicrons
Lancer
Luger Type A (altho' the Bundschuh win't sell me one yet)
2x Adv. Tarantula

I'll give a really lengthy explanation in a minute.
Lucky lucky you.
