    • Should I buy this ship?


      I have only had this game for 5 days so i dont know very much about the ships. I just finished some missions for the Azgadra (do you spell it lika that???) and they have offered me to buy they azgadri warship that is widely considered the most powerful warship in the galazy, price 15 million. My ship now is a Crescent Warship that has all the usuall stuff (Iff decoder,ECM, density scanner, afterburner, scoops blabblabla). The good stuff, all the uppgrades thrust, speed, turning, 4 phase turrets, 4 shield enhancers, 2 sad launchers and so on. (I sold the fighter bays and fighters) + a cloaking device and a strange special weapon I got from completing a mission for azgradgra, it fires a yellow glob. Is it worth to buy the most powerful warship??

      What I would like to is how many days does it take for it to make a hyperspace jump, I dont like that the cresent warship takes 2 days.

      And where is outpost plaga??

    • OOPS great scott

      I got the races mixed upp

      It was Igazdra warship

    • Though the Igazra is the most powerful warship in the crescent, I never liked flying one. They have a low crew compliment so, if you don't mind being a little evil, you can capture one. You can't get another cloaking device so it might not be a good thing to sell your ship if you use it.

    • The Igazra is perhaps the best ship in the game in my opinion. The thing can carry five phase turrets, and will quickly silence any enemy in short time. And if equipted with SAE modules, then you mean serious trouble to any intruder...

    • Not exactly. It is the best ship everywhere but on the voinian frontier. Never fight voinians in crescent ships. You will either die of boredom waiting for the ship to explode already or you will die of neutron fire. OR take off the phase cannons and replace them with neutrons or something. Unless you are working for the voinians in which case you will be invincible.

      Says you :p. I've blown up innumerable amounts of Voinian ships in a Crescent Warship with 4 phase turrets, 3 CF's, 1 dispy launcher, 20 dispersals, 1 Voinian rocket launcher, 10 rockets. I've also blown up lots of Voinian ships in a pumped-up Gunship with 3 phase turrets, 3 Pursuit Missile launchers, and 25 pursuit missiles, plus a Repulsor beam and 3 or 4 shield generators. Phase weapons might not have good armor damage, but when you keep firing on any ship with massed phase weaponry plus a good secondary they'll blow up in 1 second (Azdaras ;)) to 2 minutes (Voinian Cruiser). I know this from personal experience. But, back to the topic. An Igazra is pretty strong, but don't have many crew, so you could capture one with, say, a UE Cruiser or Voinian Cruiser easily and only spend money on the ship you captured the Igazra in, but still, a cloaking device can be very helpful and you'll lose it if you get a new ship (unless you edit it so it stays with you when you switch ships like a Plasma Siphon).

      The trouble with capturing an Igazra is that unless you're well in with the Igazra anyway, you won't be able to buy extra ammo for the SAE launchers. Furthermore, you won't be able to sell of those same SAE systems and use the space for something else, because SAEs only appear at the outfitters if you work for the Iggys. Saliciouscrumbs did, so this shouldn't be a problem... but to anyone who is thinking of capturing an Igazra and working for another strand, heed my warning. Finally, remember that the Azdgari and Zidagar tend to shoot on sight when they see an Igazra... not very good if you want to work with them.

      If you want to keep the cloaking device, download 'keep cloaking device' from the EVO downloads page, unzip it and drop it into your plugin folder, before you sell off the ship. It's cheating, but it's not uncommon.

      PS: Saying that the Igazra is useless against Voinians because it uses phase turrets is a bit unfair... you can change them, you know! I once used a neutron gunned Igazra with great effect against the Voinians, dominating almost every one of their systems. Against incoming Voinian fire, those 500 shields are highly effective.

    • Ok this will give me something to think about.But still...can anyone tell me where Outpost plaga is?? Its a mission for Igazdri, I loked all over the map and I need to recover the cargo of a mirano freighter from there.

    • Blaga actually, and its a planet. Go 1 system south of Hmigero, or if you don't know where that is, look a couple jumps to the galactic east (-> ) of Mirava.

    • My current ship has the plasma siphoid. When I buy a new ship will it get transferred to the new ship?
