    • Anyone tried this?


      Has anyone ever bought a miranu heavy freighter and dumped all of its cargo space with mass expansions and then put some dospect armor and a bunch of shield enhancers on it . Then put tons of phase turrets and missles and rockets on it and then go and take on the dreadnought or the Destroy the Rock.

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

    • Yes, I have used Miranu heavy freighters as converted warships on numerous occasions. But I still prefer a ship designed for fighting to begin with.

      Oh yes. Actually I think we've had two topics about it, excluding this, during the last couple of weeks. 😉

    • Freighters are way too slow! I prefer the Lazira myself, even over the Crescent Warship. It has the speed I like and holds enough weapons to do the job.

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

    • Yes. However I kept to the 2 turret limit and loaded up with 8 miraneu (forgive the spelling) defense pod launchers and all the pods I could hold. Then I just bombed the Dreadnought. Effective but not all that fun after the first time.

      Why are there no maroon ships?

      Tsk tsk, you should know better... Miranu! 😉

    • I like the Azdara with Dospect, myself. It's insanely fast, and between the recharge rate on the shields and the Dospect, it's pretty much invincible.

    • All this talk about freighters has brought back a fond memory, of before my !&!@#%$^ hard drive crashed.

      I had a little guide thing to turning a freighter into a warship. Maybe I should remake it?

    • I prefer to upgrade the standard Miranu Freighter, though lighter and with less armor/shields, it's faster, more maneuverable and has three turret slots. I quite like upgrading freighters into warships, especially in Nova where ennemy ships tend to run if faced with though opposition, they won't flee to what they think is a mere Terrapin. Big mistake. The surprise effect isn't there in EV(O), but it's fun, and you can still retain a bulk cargo capacity.

    • I think that it would take at least 5 tries to kill the dreadnought, no.

      10 for Destroy the Rock.

      That was really hard in an arada!

      The Miranu Freighter can be transformed into an awsome Frigate! In fact, I don't know why the miranu bothered with their horrible Miranu Gunship, they should have made a Miranu Frigate......

      idea flash

      in fact, that belongs in a plug, I'm off to photoshop the miranu Freighter and make a plugin! 😉 😄

      Sounds good, a bit of activity around here is always good.

      Lets see, would you guys prefer a new mission string adding a second ship or just a mod of the origonal mission string?

      Both options, of course!

    • Ahh. I see. While Laziras are good, nothing can beat a Crescent Warship with about 20 million creds poured into it. Trust me--with this setup, I managed to desroy the Dreadnought on my first try.

      How's that coming? And are you going to make an Override Nova version?
