Good PVP Config

After my experience in PVP'ing on several servers i have ultimately concluded this to be the best PVP configuration.

Level 10 Ship: Eagle
Level 10 Guns: 3 Nomad Blasters
Level 9 Guns: 2 Tizona Del Cids
Level 10/9 Missle: Cannonball Missle (can be found on Crete)
Level 10 Shields: Adv HF Brigantine
Level 10 Cargo: HEHE J/K
Cruise Disruptor: w/e will do
Mines: Ripper is a must

Ok heres the most advanced PVP setup ive ever used. Why?
Contrary to popular belief the real damage inducers are the level 9 Tizona Del Cids and the Cannonball Missle. The Nomad Guns are their for the ride as well, but they dont do the 1.2k Shield damage of the Del Cid or the 4.5k Hull damage of the Cannonball, they sorta do both, which is why they are a MUST. Ok most of you are prolly like, WTF? At this point. Let me brag then explain.

I have taken out another fully decked out Level 10 Eagle and Sabre AND Titan in under 8 seconds with this setup. Tizonas doing 1.2k Shield damage each, Del Cids and Nomad guns take out the shields in about 3-4 rounds. Once thats done with all it takes is a shot or two and ONE CANNONBALL, YES THATS RIGHT ONE, and BOOM GAME OVER. Thing is for cannonball u gotta get close to em, which usually isnt a problem in most duels ive participated in. Once their shields are down, (TY Del Cids), just get up close and throw a cannonball, it almost never misses close up, hasnt for me at least. With this setup u can own most anyone.
Best thing is all the guns are in synch with the same 600 M/S AND 4.00 Refire Rate, making ur aim elite

I take it "PVP" is player vs. player?

thats my config since last week.

its not the only good one, but it is one of few that allow you even to use a cruise disrupter

though I use most time still a starkiller torp launcher.
saves you alot money if you have not always to use the cannonballlauncher for the kill, and two instead of one instant killer shot is nice aswell

ah, btw I don´t use mines, I am most time to bussy with getting the torp into the target to use mines effektive ... will start to use them later aswell, but atm not.

Yeah I have to give credit to those TDC's. I love those things!

What about this setup? It´s more expensive to maintain but i´d guess it would be even more effective:

5 x Ticona del Cid
1 x Cannonball
1 x Sunslayer

Cannonball+Sunslayer blows the hull of any ship in the game (even Titan) and 5 Ticonas are certainly better than 2 against opponents who like to keep spamming their hotkey for shield batteries during a frontal approach.

I haven´t tested that config myself yet (i got only 2 del Cids so far aswell) but all i can say is that the Sunslyer Torp is just plain evil :p

Well, with about 3 seconds worth of modding you can replace those 2 cids with just 1 Paralyzer missile. I know some people might consider that "a bad thing", but ain't it worth it for a 7000+ shield damage missile? That will almost take out an c10 Adv Positron shield in a single shot, just pump one shot of the rest of yer weapons and they're down. Between 1 Paralyzer and 1 Tizona the shields are more than gone so just keep up the fire with the Nomads and the Cannonball. But I guess us people with ethics and such can only dream of a Paralzyer. Heck, I ditched mine once I own a dude 5 times in a row simply because I could take his shields down as soon as they went back up...

Cheater :p

Post Tue Apr 01, 2003 8:59 pm

Unless you happened to have found the whereabouts of the Paralyzer Missile Launcher.. Your a cheater.. Editing files to give you weapons is considered cheating there for you would be considered.. Yup.. A Cheater..

Post Tue Apr 01, 2003 9:44 pm

Cheating is pointless. Or as someone put it recently: "Not owning the guns is the fun... finding them is". There's nothing to add to this.

Well, I did say that I ditched the Paralyzer if you thoroughly read my post, so I ain't a cheater no more so :p

Post Tue Apr 01, 2003 10:18 pm

lol.. I got a setup close to that- I tried all the guns and ships in the game- came out with a pvp config that owns everyone basically.. the sunslayer is'nt in it- hornet disruptor is great for hitting up the cruisers you pass or the wussies who try to jet
