Hammerhead/Dragon pilots, optimal weapon layout?

Mon Mar 10, 2003 11:40 am by ZeroGravity

I have decided to try out the full Bounty Hunter route destroying all criminals I can find for a change. I've picked up the Hammerhead because I really like how it handles and looks. My Sabre's level 10 weapons don't work on it and I need some advice for a good weapon configuration for it. It kept my debilitator turret (for 401 damage to shield per hit) but it puts it on the back of the ship unlike the Sabre and I can't hit anything in front of me with it so it's useless. I'm not going to fight in turret mode in a Hammerhead lol. So anyway, if you fly the Hammerhead please give me some ideas for a weapons layout and where I could pick up the weapons. Also I'd like the same thing for the Dragon I would be ever so grateful

Regards,

ZG

You gave away your Sabre for a Hammerhead?

No it's in a separate save game, I'll never give it up in that particular save game. I want to try something new so I'm going to start making separate save games for the different paths I go down. It's not fun flying the Sabre forever, need to mix it up because things are too easy with it.

I had one for a while, and yeah i used the stunpulse turret and 6 Heavy Rashpoint guns that you can buy at Detroit Munitions in New York, seemed to work real well, it wouldn't be a bad idea to exchange one of the guns for a missle launcher.

"Rashpoint"? Uh... Does it cause rashes?

Does the Hammerhead always place the turrets on the back so you can only use it in turret mode and firing at what's behind you only? Thanks for the heavy flashpoint idea, I'll head to Detroit Mun.

I'm farting around in single player still, finished the story, but exploring and such. I just got a Hammerhead, and atm I'm going with mostly bounty hunter weapons: 2 Warrior Mk2s, 4 Reaver Mk1s. I wish I could remember where I bought these, though, cause I originally bought them for a ship that couldn't mount Class 9s, and now I'd like to go upgrade to all Reaver Mk2s. ;P

As for how it works - it's not a huge power drain, I can fire constantly for 15-20 seconds before it runs outta gas, and can destroy anything short of a stiletto in like 2 seconds.

When I realized that the turret was rear-mounted, I began my quest to find a better ship.

I'm pretty sure the Reaver MK II guns are at Deshima Station in the Shi***u system.

Edit: That is Shik.oku system, the stupid filter even blocks misspellings of naughty words lol.

I think my hammerhead is loaded out with 2 lancer missiles and 4 hornvipers, but I haven't flown that game since I started doing sabre vs titan testing

don't mind the edit's: I'm trying to figure out wtf is happening with my sig.
