Best loadouts for each ship thread

Fri Mar 14, 2003 2:55 am by ZeroGravity

If you look at the main forums page you see a forum for Starlancer called Starlancer Tactics with the description reading:

Here you can discuss tactics and strategies to best beat your opponents. What is the best loadout for each ship? How do you use "Reverse Thrust" and "Sliding"?

So I was thinking we should have a list of all the ships with different people's opinions on great weapons loadouts. If they are hard to find maybe list where to get them. If you don't want to make a whole list maybe just some of your favorite ships and their loadouts. We see plenty of "How to make my Sabre, Eagle, or Titan the most uber" threads but some of us like variety and like to go back and fly the more challenging ships sometimes and it would be nice to see some different people's ideas for weapons.

Eagle

2 Guardian
2 Thor's Hammer
2 ArchAngel
1 Turret (lvl 6) forget the name...Haven't located a lvl 9 turret yet
1 Starkiller Torp...Haven't picked up the higher one yet

lvl9 shields (Forget the name, but has 6000+ power)
Advanced Thruster

12 Nano
12 SB

Will update this when I get home...

Thinking about Setting another save game with the Dromedary freighter, and becoming a merchant....instead of an explorer...

Will probably do that once I've hit every system, and see what all the prices for everything....Then will set me up some killer profit trade routes.

Best loadout I've found for the Eagle is:

2x Diamondbacks
2x Nomad Blasters
2x Salamanca Guns
1x Salamanca Turrets
1x Hornet Cruise Disrupter

All of these have a 600 projectile speed. Takes about 20 seconds of firing to max out the power also.

I use a Titan with 4 nomad Blasters, 2 class 9 salamanca (sp) guns, hornet cd, ripper mine, and haven't really looked for a good turret yet, only use turret view right now to look around with, hehe. Can pretty much fire forever.

Banshee:

L7 graviton shields
2 x L7 flame(somethings lol, plasma based)
2 x L6 flame(whatevers again)

Thinking about getting mines but I don't know if I want to. Trying to find some better guns too. VHF are so slow. Probably take me an hour to kill one but I doubt they could even hit me.

right now i'm using a sabre

4x nomad cannons
2x salmanca II (or whatever they are called)
lvl 9 kraken turret
sunslayer torp, ripper mines

i have an eagle on another server

2x nomad blasters
2x nomad cannons
(forget the turret)
2x lvl 9 fireslayer missles (or what ever they are called, the ones from malta)
starslayer torps, ripper mine

with the ealge you can drop an npc in about 2 seconds, but you can only carry 50 missles and they are 7k each. but they sure are fun

Argonus how can you have that setup? The Eagle has 4 class 10 hardpoints and 2 class 9 hardpoints. Those are all class 10 weapons if I'm not mistaken, how did you manage that?

This is only a guess but:

Sabre/Titan
4 Nomad Cannons
2 level 9 missile launchers (Firestalker or Cannonball)
