Desert Eagles and MP5's are quite good, but with a ancient sword ?
What ,are you trying to be a ninja or something ?

True ninjas don't need guns. If you have a saber, then good for you. If you have a sabre...well, it really depends on what type of weapons you like...

probably codename guns or GMG photons and Nomad connons, or all three...

probably diomandbacks, skybast Bs and nomad blasters, use the diamonds for slower targets, nomads for the quick ones, and the photons for general-purpose, blast-the-crap-out-of-everything-in-site use.

or you could just use Outcast Particle and Tachyon cannons...

2x Tizona Del Cid, 4x Salamanca Mk II

It might not be the most damaging setup, but I love it

The Tizonas I agree with, but Salamanca MkIIs? No chance!
Ok, they're pretty good, but you can get the much better CLASSIFIED weapons for free, and they just wipe the floor with every other gun (apart from the Tizona, the class leader in shield stripping), especially the cerebus' and diamondbacks, get them if possible.

Cannonballs (missiles) are very efficient and they don't use energy.
Mount a TDC and a CB launcher and deck teh rest with the Salamanca's (same speed, better aim) and you have a killer loadout.

Yet another soul in need of correction, it seems

Class 10 weapons do indeed output a lot of damage, but let me list some of the disadvantages:

1) They're not at all energy efficient - the Kraken 2 does 2 less damage per second, but drains about 50 less energy

2) They have a refire rate of 2. So it's very hard to score a hit at all.

3) They can only be mounted on class 10 slots - whereas on a Sabre you could have 6 Kraken 2s and a Kraken turret

Plus, if you're playing online, the likelihood is that the wrecks have already been looted...

you tell 'im, Darkstone!

Archangels definatly. Those things can cut through almost anything. Or wait for Police Chief Xtreme's Weapon pack...then you can have some fun

2 things:

1) I just told you that class 10s suck

2) Even among the Class 10s, the Archangels suck. The Wildfire does more damage than it and uses less energy, for the same fire rate, proj speed and everything

Don't patronise me . Anyway, here's some points replying to yours:

1. This is just a personal preference, I can't stand the Kraken 2 canons, if you like them then that is your opinion.

2. The fast nomad energy guns require no energy at all, so you can get a balance with a coupla CLASSIFIEDs, they're not great but they work.

3. I don't find any problems scoring a hit. If you can't aim them then thats not my problem.

4. I don't fly the Sabre, I use an Eagle, I like the looks. Anyway, by the time you get to the VHFs there's not a huge difference between them if you spend your time blowing up battleships in NY (like me), I'm merely giving a rough idea for a weapons set up that I find works for me in any VHF (or as close to that as possible).

5. 'wrecks already been looted' Have you ever heard of a thing called resetting the server? Most of the better servers are resetted periodically to respawn the CLASSIFIEDs for n00bs.

It all comes down to the simple fact that this is OPINIONATED, I find a pair of CLASSIFIEDs coupled with a pair of nomad blasters coupled with a pair of Tizona Del Cids and a Salamanca turret works wonders, if you find a Kraken 2 set up works best for your style then thats up to you.
The guy asked for opinions and I'm giving mine, no need to patronise people for their opinions.

If you're playing rebalance, the characteristics of the class 10's change somewhat, and become more valuable for massive range, or incredible refire rate. Depends on what situation you find yourself in.

Wow, he just arrives and starts throwing the word "patronize" around at the regulars of this forums. This guy isn't going to have a happy TLR forum life at all ......

Nah, I guess the first thing I said was a little bit wrong, because that's based on opinion. But I still stand by saying that the Archangels in particular suck; if you want Class 10 weapons you can do much better
