    • Arada


      I have an Arada and 1/2 a million credits. What should be the next ship that I upgrade to, and what mission strings are probobly at my level? anyone have any other advice?

      I'm learning UBB!!!!

    • I reccomend a lazira or
      UE destroyer spits at ground or
      Voinian Frigate YES!

      But to have the most fun, don't use cruisers and use strict play

    • The Lazira would probably be the next ship you should get.

      P.S. Also, an Arada with Dospect is pretty good. Can take on a lot of stuff easily.

    • If I was playing for the Adzari, I wouldn't get a different ship. As someone here said awhile ago: "The Adzara's like the Dodge Viper. Fun to take for a spin, but not very practical." Otherwise, I'd get a Igdzra if I'm working for the Igdzari, and either a UE Cruiser or a Crecent Warship if i'm working for the Zidigar.

    • hmmm... lets see, upgrade from a 1 mil Arada to a 15 mil Igdzra. The Igdzra is a great ship but its a bit of a jump. I'd just keep on saving if I were you, unless you come across some missions that are just to hard to do with the Arada, then go with a lazira (but you'd need to save for that anyway, its about 3.5 mil I think)

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

      thou shalt return. And while your creation is forgoten your death you still spurn

    • If i was in your position, i would just capture a zidara, then capture an Igazra. Or a Zidara is fun anyway.

    • Actually, some people extol the virtues of the arada itself, saying they can take out anything in it. And it's probably more fun than wandering around in a cruiser, too.

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

    • Get a Lazira and get the Strand main objective. That will get you plaenty of credits to upgrade to a Destroyer/Carrier. Then do the UE/Emalgha/Hinwar main objective to upgrade to a UE Cruiser (SWEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!) 😄

    • Get a Mirian Heavy Frieghter or whatever it is called and turn all the cargo space into weapons and get all the upgrades. Hehehehe

    • I'd keep the Arada. It's a great ship.
      But, if you must upgrade, I'd recommend the Lazira.

    • I feel so bad! I haven't been on the boards in 48 hrs and look what I've missed!

      Well, stay with the Arada. Upgrade it as you see fit, I list my personal faves below. It's the best and most fun ship in the game.

      Upgrades:
      RCS, Engine, Thrust Upgrades.
      Shield Regenerator thingy, Azdgari upgrade (Azdgari missions) OR systems upgrade (Zidigar, I think)
      UE Marine Gear (UE Missions)
      Dospect (Voin. or UE Missions)
      Shield capacitators
      Pursuit missiles
      SELL All secondaries
      Phase turrets/swivel (or fixed) cannons maxed out

      ------------------
      Is the answer to this question 'no'?

      I love the Azdara! Putting Dospect on it makes it nearly invincible. It's great when you've finished the mission strings and just want to kill stuff or dominate planets.

      PS: I'm not exaggerating about the "invincible" part. My latest conquest (Believe it or not) was Council Station.

    • How long did it take you? 2000-something CW's against a few phase cannons?

    • Quite honestly folks, if you got time, then the Adzdara is the best ship in the game.

      With dospect and an extra generator it is invincible.

      I gave up my Voinian cruiser worth 19M for it.

      Worth it too.

      They are brilliant ships but you humans might have to tone the games speed down due to your inferior reflexes.

    • I disagree. I think it is the enhanced azgardi arada.

      You mean your inferior reflex 🙂

      The enchanced azdgari arada is a cheat ship

    • How about this:

      1 - Capture an Azdgari Arada or Enhanced Azdgari Arada
      2 - Sell ALL dispersal Rockets (in other words, all secondaries), keep swivel phase cannons, but sell the Rear Phase Cannons to get more space
      3 - Outfit it with the following:
      1=Azdgari Upgrade
      2=RCS Upgrade
      3=Thrust Upgrade
      4=Engine Upgrade
      5=Shield Generator
      6=Exp. Shield Generator
      7=Dospect Armor
      8=UE Cloak (IF you can get it)
      9=UE Marine Gear (where do you get THIS outfit?)
      10=ECM System

      Here's two other questions:
      1-Where does the Enhanced Azdgari Arada appear? Which mission? How do you get this mission?
      2-Where do you get the UE Marine Gear?

    • The marine outfit you get when you complete the Hinwar mission.

      The enchanced arada you only get the same way as the dreadnaught. By quitting the mission, and board it. Got you self a job, mate!
      It only takes around 50 tryes to get it, good luck 🙂
