heres a challenge if u can get all the way to planet malta in a starflier then you can take out anything with anything merley because u have mastared evasion


The leg all the way up to Tau31 was easy, but the moment I came out of the jumphole in Alpha I got blown up even before those two black horizontal bars on the screen went away (ie NO chance of reacting). Other than that, the trip is definitely not as hard as most people think.

Going back on topic, after flying rings with my Eagle around this guy in his Sabre AND hitting him every pass without him even scratching my ship, I'm a firm Eagle believer.

I love my Titan ... I want to marry it and have its children ... No better ship ask 2,000 odd dead Xeno's.

Who needs Mod's to be Mean ... Just go for it !

Erm .... no they dont
How can Cruise Disrupters work when you are not using engines?
I take it you do hit "free flight"
Then "Z" to kill engines ...
Then "Mouse Control" ..
And finally a touch of "Thruster" for speed and maneavourability ..
Can't catch you then ... assuming you have best thrusters you can get about 6k before you need to recharge ...

Catch me if u can ;o)

magmus, you beat Sabres in a Starflier? My hat's off to you, I'm only up to doing that in a Patriot.

Reaper: $200,000,000.
Rockets: $100,000
The look on that pilot's face when you launch a full pod of screamers up his tailpipe: priceless

What Cruise Disrupters do that is useful though is knock the other ship off course. So if a Titan pilot is relying on his gunnery by staying still and turning, or flying backwards, then you can screw his aim by firing off a CD that he has no practical chance of avoiding, then blasting him before he can turn back. I'd suggest using a Banshee with two pulse weapons and two Lancer Missile launchers - knock the Titan about with the CD then unleash. Or, to be really evil, you could use an Eagle with three Cannonball missiles, one Sunslayer Torp, and three Tizona Del Cids...


Haven't actually tried this yet, just a thought...

all in all with vhfighters it comes down to laod out and piolet, a well loaded titan
can beat a hawk and a good piolet in an ill loaded titan could do the same, in my humble opinion...............

I think you mean eagle dude, but yea i think you pretty much got it, any how lets hear from those who have used the titan and beat players in the more agile vh's
whats you tactic?

Stand back I don't know how big it gets.

Post Mon Jun 23, 2003 3:37 am

I do think the Titan is beatable, so is every other ship in Freelancer, but it depends entierly on the pilot skill, I kill people theat pilot Eagles all the time in my Titan, the Eagle manages to have more manoueverability than the Titan, but; the engine kill technique ends up being very useful mixed with sunslayers.

thanks for the replys and in the end i think the titan is beatable with an eagle with the right weopans can some one tell me what weapons i should put on my eagle!!!
