if you want a heavy fighter there are two
the kusari military one and the barracuda (BH)
the kusari military one (forgot name )is more manuverable than the barracuda but has 40 cargo

the barracuda has a little less manuverability, but 45 cargo space

they are both the same $ and everything else is the same

on weps just go with what you like, new tokyo sells good stuff

trade routes I can help with but it involves a spoiler or two.

i'd say barracudda. and the Kusari navy ship is the dragon. Blood dragons fly it as well. i personally play as a pirate, so i'd go for barracuda for the extra loot space. dragon, i think just looks stupid, and i find barracudda to be maneuvreable enough

Stuff for the spoiler forum folks. ---Looking for the magic forum moving machine----where did I leave it----Oh, Good, found it in the closet, thought I might have left it at the cleaners....anway, off we go to the spoiler forum...... Whoosh!

Okay, boscoe, you are a little wicked O_o
One extra problem, if i buy a ship, i'll have to make about 100k+, so is would it be really really -really- necessary to buy one?

The Trade Route

You have a Cavalier with a cargo hold of 30 so this is for you.


Buy Niobium @ New Tokyo – 30 x $512 = $15360

Sell @ The Ring (Berlin System) – 30 x $1440 = $43200

Buy Diamonds @ New Berlin – 30 x $396 = $11880

Sell @ New Tokyo – 30 x $1650 = $49500

Net profit of $2182 per unit of cargo


That is if you can get to the Rheinland systems right now. You also know that you can turn down a mission offered by the story, right? There is no harm in it.


"On this ship you are to refer to me as Idiot, not you Captain. I mean... you know what I mean."

yeah, you can keep going while juni calls you, just dont go into the bar she says and you can make more $$$

and yes the barracuda/dragon is a necesarry upgrade, trust me...

"If im phased and can walk through stuff, then why am I not falling through the floor?"

IMHO, the Drake is the best of the available choices at that point. It is one of the three most maneuverable ships in the game (the other two being the Starflier and the Patriot), and has only slightly less armor and firepower than its bigger brother, the Dragon. Maneuverability seems to be more valuable than armor in the campaign portion, since the number of enemies the game throws at you is prequently enough to blast you in a second or two of concentrated fire even with the most heavily armored ship around. Maneuverability equates to less enemy fire hitting you, which equates to less bots and batts used, and less spent on repairs.

"I'm flying with a Cavalier with 2 LavaBlade MKIII and 2 Justice MKIII Weapons."

That is 500 m/s and 700 m/s if I remember correctly.

Do not mix weapons with different travelling speeds. You will not be able to aim ahead correctly with all weapons at the same time.

Okay, i chose the Barracuda simply because i found it to be nearly equally manoeuvrable as the hawk....
Thanks for all the help....

Does any one around here fly the Titan?

My ship is, the Titan, a well built, sturdy killing machine armed with "2 class 10 Codename: GUARDIAN weapons, 2 Tizona del Cid class 9 shield busters, 2 class 7 Angelito MK III weapons and 1 class 9 Salamanca Turret"

It is protected by a Class 10 Graviton Adv. Champion H. F. Shield

It is equiped with an Advanced Thruster, a Seeker Mine Dropper, Adv. Counter Measuer Dropper and a Hornet Cruise Disrupter.

So basicaly, dont mess with me

Nomad weapons are far stronger (overall) and more effcient than codenames. I also use Tizonas. The Titan has crap manueverability, the Egale and Sabre are surperior overall. What mod did you use to get the Class 10 grav (you sure you're not using the birgantine class 10 positron)? As for Kusari, well, by the time I accepte dthe first Kusari Story misiion, I had like 700k, several Codenames, and couple of class7,8,and 9 weapons. All I had to do was travel back to omega-3, kill enough Hessians for the corsairs to like me, then tour eastern sirius looting wrecks and attacking outcasts somewhat stroner than me. When I fifnished the game, my level was instantenoulsy rasied to 35. The key to my success: Avoiding Juni and her missions, and being a total Freelancer.

yes, i attacked a few nomad fighters and received one of their weapons, im not using a mod to get my shield, i found it somewhere, theres so many places i dont know where i get stuff, Im playing online also, im a level 38 freelancer and have gone to every system in the game with my nice titan, althoiugh it has crap manvoerability, its still one of the strongest ships in the game
