    • survey: Ships you use as a Zachit


      I'd like to know what kind of ships you are using when you do zachit missions, or what ships you like to use as a Zachit; you may justify, you may not, it's up to you.

      Hmm...I'd use either a Crescent Warship, complete with fighters, SAD's, and turrets, or a Miranu Gunship with SAE's, Turrets, and some dispy. rockets. For the Zachit missions I used a Crescent Warship, and on my other pilot file I'm using a Miranu Gunship for them.

      ------------------

    • My Zachit ship is usually a heavily modified Lazira, one of my favorite ships. I go with the max number of Phase Turrets, Some Dispersal Rockets, and the rest of the space for Shield Enhancers and a Generator. Oh, and a good layer of Dospect Armor.

      P.S. I still have yet to find out how to start the Miranu Gunship missions.

    • Why, I used my A.E.S. Firebird! (That's my Arada)

      I posted a good story about my experiences with the Zachit in Moments of Pride and Accomplishment. Read if you like. 🙂

      I suggest using....uhhh, I guess a pumped up Arada, I can't really reccomend much of anything that I can fully stand by.

    • I use whatever ship I happen to be in when I get the mission. Primarily, it's been my trusty Freight-courier or more recently my UE Cruiser, both decked out with blaze turrets. I also like to dump my secondary weapons in favor of fighters. The FC had crescents and the cruiser has crescent and UE, for a total of eight.

      ------------------

    • Occasionally when I'm feeling particularly devious/bored I'll disable a Zachit Arada, capture it, and use that as my Zachit ship. The Miranu aren't exactly thrilled when I do it, but they forget quickly once they see all the Renegades I shoot down. 🙂

    • I've always used the Arada...The "Triton Corsair" has gotten me through all my missions safely so far! 😉

    • Well, I used a Voinian Crusier (again read about it in the first page of Moments of Pride and Accomplishments) because I'm chicken ;). You need something with a lot of armor to do the last Miranu Gunship mission, trust me.

      Yes...Either something very powerful, or something very fast. 😉

    • I have never done the Zachit missions, do you need a ship with cargo space?

    • The Zachit missions do not require cargo space.

    • Uh... I used an Iggy. blush I know... overkill. I find it works very well as a fast battlecruiser, once its engines have been upgraded. There's no need to use anything quite that monstrous, though. I only did it because I'd already got my pilot through the Strand War before I had any dealings with the Zacha.

    • I use the same ships I always use - A Zidara, Igdzra, or Arada(depending on which strand I side with).

    • My normal ship that is my trusty (url="http://"http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/~dsghosh/evosite/shipyard3.html#arada")Arada(/url). Of course, for the last Zachit mission, one does need quite a bit of armor, so I took a captured (url="http://"http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/~dsghosh/evosite/shipyard2.html#vcruiser")Voinian Cruiser(/url) for the purpose. (It took ages to capture that thing!)

    • I always use a Crescent Fighter - that way I feel like a real Zachit,
      since they use fighters in general.

      Good luck beating the Rock mission at the end of the Zachit string in a Crescent Fighter.

    • Well the Zachit mission string is usually the last important one that I come to, so I'm usually in a big ship fully upgraded - which is probably why I can't visualise the Attack the Rock mission battle, or why it is harder than the others :).

      After the missions I have bought the Miranu Gunship on a few occasions, but it really does come far too late in the game to be of real use - and there is a bit of a lack of mid-price range ships really.

      ------------------

    • I like the Zidara, myself

      ------------------

      insantiy and ingenious is
      measured just by success.

    • I'm with Esponer on this one. Most of the time when I fly with the Zachit, I do it in a Crescent Fighter. But sometimes I'll fly a UE Fighter for it. I like being on equal footing with the other Zachit.

      Thanks, but it wouldn't be the first time.

      ------------------

    • Well, I use a crescent warship most of the time, but heavily accelerated. I tried an Igazra, but it's too slow. And, if you have pain making the last zachit mission, hire 6 CW or Laziras at Mira, and return at the Rock. It should help (for the money, make Tehir-Gribn run, dominated if possible, with 6 Human Freighters).
