Plenty of games have an "official book" you can buy. I never do. From what I've read in other threads, the FL book has misinformation in it.

The official book... I own it, I've used it so much that I wrecked the binding and had to 3 hole punch the pages and stick them in a ring binder. The ship info is complete crap but the rest is fairly accurate though it doesn't reveal all. Most useful section for me is the reputation chart.

Back to topic, the best ship is the Centurion Heavy Fighter from Privateer.

Ever get the feeling... you're standing on plastic?

I don't think I'd buy such a book in this day and age, what with the net having everything you'd want to know...

These are the words that appear in my signature.
Yes, I find it funny.

depends on what you want to do. I feel an eagle with full weapons and sheilds is sufficent and I'm not wasting credits on bribing criminals and then buying their ships, not yet at least... --- RR16

No, actualy you all have it wrong. The Tiidan heavy cruiser is the best ship (HW2 is coming...)

We who are about to die salute you!

Who cares about what the best ship is...
who cares about what the best weap is.
who cares what the heaviest fighter is.
who cares what the agilest fighter is.

the point is where do i get the best payment for...

look at me, i don't say i'm good... i did only div 43 missions in a drake and even in the defender... without help from others... i can have from start in about 2 hours a sabre with class 9 weaps all around and a class 10 shield... if u do that, u can be banned for being to good...

the point is about what weap u like and what kind of ship u like...

i fly now in a stiletto with 2 GMG photon class 6 weaps (forgot the name...), 2 neutralizer missile launchers (class 7), 2 lancer missile launchers, 1 sunslayer torp launcher, 1 screamer mine dropper (must still get the ripper) and adv. countermeasure...
say nothing... missiles can be great as u know how to use them... first testing after that the real thing... before i did the div 43 missions in a defender i knew a little about missiles (i used mostly stalkers, and the other missile i tested on my defender campaign, what i succeeded), but now i know what a big thing missiles can be...

the point is what u can do with a ship...

u must try to understand ur fighter, u must know what possible with it, what the agility of it is, what she likes... what she dislike (i hope u thought already about that...)... their more... u must know what fighters u can handel in ur fighter...

the point is what weaps u like and what the ship wants...

if u like fast fire weaps or slow... the fighter of ur choice will also know what u must change about ur weap outload when u fly around... i told u about my stiletto, i must change also something on their, 1 of my lancer missiles must be the GMG photon class 7 gun (i must go back to GMG-territory and kill GMG's for 1, yes 1 class 7 gun... isn't it fun )... u must learn to understand what fighter u need and what weaps ur fighter need to kill even very big groups of enemies... it's sometime whise to use missiles, sometimes it's whise to use massive missiles, and sometimes it's whise to make a more missile outload and use the guns for little threats... then u have around 1 or 2 guns for non-missile slots...

the most c 1 fighter in the end... eagle/sabre/titan... their better fighters then them... it's ur choice to use a fighter... not mine, co'z i like other specific facts of a fighter, then u... why do i fly a stiletto, i don't know... i don't know... some say that i'm stupped about that choice, or say: "it's time to get something better."... maybe it is, maybe not... i helped some1 in a titan with my stiletto who was almost dead (wings where orange, top fin red, fin red/black)... i helped him with mostly my 2 guns... a shooted a few missiles... i got i of my GMG photon cannons from him... why does some1 fly in a titan when he can be more destructive in a other kind of fighter is my ask... he wasn't bussy with the real thing (sigma-19, most falcons, some eagles, most class 6 and 7 weaps)...

the point is that i think that a few will read this, so i hope i didn't typed this for nothing...

okay, i challenge ANY titan, sabre or eagle to beat my Humpback! *ahem* ... just joking...

Post Wed Sep 03, 2003 9:52 pm

I am a fan of the Sabre, because it's not significantly less manouverable (is that the british spelling?) than the Eagle, but has more armor, and doesn't fly like a a dead whale with an enine strapped to is back (trying not to say what everyone else calls the titan lol) like the titan does, It's the middle man in terms of characteristics, and looks cool, too!

P.S.: I have a feeling that i have just written a paragraph with just one period

Every gun counts.

I've had no complaints about the Sabre thus far.... haven't tried any other VHF's other than the Anubis and the Hammerhead.

Yes, absolutely everything I post, including this, is spam.

here i am again...

i think nobody read my input off a few post ago...

so this input is small...

maybe this is already too long...

i know this was off topic...

so here's the input of today:
i fly little in vhf, co'z i hate the agility, and yeah, i like the smaller fighters better... smaller fighters... the fighters where u can put lower class guns.

is this in bold

uhm... and this and the topic txt is in italic... i know...



if u like the vhf, it's fine with me... i like the lower rank better
[/qoute

i flew in almost all hf, except the wolfhoud and corsair centurion (the heaviest hf, for the 1 who don't know). i flew in all vhf, even in the hammerhead (and selled it inmediated). i flew in a lot off light fighters (except the piranha and the bloodhound.

HELP ME

[qoute
this is spam

Love it when people just say "my ship is better" without providing any serious evidence to back it up...

I have flown both the Titan and the Sabre before trying the Eagle.

and my preference was the eagle with 4 x class 10 (no power drain type) weapons
1 mk2 salmanca and 1 tizona

flew everywhare with it and beat everything i came up against.

now playing mods to get a chalenge back in the game

Post Thu Sep 04, 2003 5:23 pm

I have to agree with andyinlondon, that eagle is by far the easiest ship to win with in my honest opinion. Add a salamanca, a tizona, and 4 Nomad blasters to that, and you've got a damn lot of damage, equal refire rates and velocity, a Sunslayer, and a driller, and nothing in Sirius is a match for you.

I don't like that. I don't like the looks of the Eagle, and I don't like how it flies. I have more fun flying in a Sabre, though I honestly think the Eagle would be the easiest ship to kill/win/etc with.
