What ship, and what equipment, do you use against Voinians?

I mean at the beginning, against the Dreadnought and also later on. Which ship
is your favourite for blowing them up?

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

I usually fight the Voinians early on in the game, and so I'm using Human ships to do it. Blaze cannons or neutron cannons are excellent against Voinians, and Hunter Missiles are absolutely devistating to Voinian ships. UE ships are pretty much designed to kill Voinians, so they're a good bet if you want to fight them. A UE destroyer is a good choice, or a Freight Courier or Arada (armed with blaze weapons) if you're short on credits. Very early on you might try a UE fighter. If you've got the credits (or manage to capture a good ship), then Laziras, Crescent Warships, and Igazras make excellent Voinian fighting machines when outfitted with blaze weapons to cut through the Voinians' heavy armor.

Personally I'm biased toward the Zidara, but it isn't all that good against Voinians, oh well...

------------------
A hatch opened up and the aliens said,
"We're sorry to learn that you soon will be dead,
But though you may find this slightly macabre,
We prefer your extinction to the loss of our job."

I end up using an Arada or a UE Destroyer at that time.
Actually... I like siding WITH the Voinians and killing all the UE scum. Much more enjoyable.

I destroy the Dreadnought later in the game,so I go at it with a heavly upgraded UE Cruiser.

I blew up the Dreadnought in a UE Fighter on two different pilots..But nowadays I use my CW against Voinians, because my CW's of speed and ability to continually pound the Voinians with Phase fire while not sustaining much damage, not to mention I have 3 annoying little CF's that they won't be able to keep up with, that AND that fact that I have Voinian Rockets which are also devastating to armor, and when I'm in the Crescent fighting all those shielded ships I use my dispy rockets, which I have 15 of as well as 15 ordinary rockets. But sometimes when I'm feeling like whipping some Voinians BIGTIME I get myself a maxed-out pumped-up UE Cruiser, which is something I haven't done in a long while.

Voinian bad bad ugly ugly Neutron bad bad ouch ouch Rocket bad bad hurt hurt ouch ouch

Usaully I'm in a Arada or Lazira.I'd like to use the Zidara but usaully I don't have enough credits.The onlt time I got to use the Zidara the Ue Flagship was there plus A carrier and the 4 destroyers.All I got was to deal with was fighters.Whats the flagship's name? U.E.S Inconvertible?

I've always used the UE Fighter - destroying the Dreadnought early on with it...

I've never tried destroying the Dreadnought later on - anyone tried it an an
Igazra with Emalgha turrets?

Pity my ass. I can blow a Voinian Frigate into three weeks from now in 10- seconds in my CW with my four Phase Turrets. People who just get like some Neutron/Emalgha turrets just to rip straight through Voinian armor are LAAAZZYYYY. We who take down the Dreadnought and various other leviathan Voinian ships with Crescent weaponry (phase turrets, dispys, pursuit missiles, SAD's, stuff like that) do it for challenge, not because we're suicidial...Well..some of those people might be suicidial, but I know I'm not.

Rima, you are incredibly lucky to fight the Dreadnought with the Incontrovertible
on your side.

Tell me, one on one, who do you think would win? I vote the U.E.S Incontrovertible,
myself.

10 seconds? That seems possibly exaggerated even against a frigate, phase turrets vs. Voinians is like mounting slingshots on your ship. If I want a challenge, I go up against them with Emalgha weapons. Sure they're effective, but you have to sit on top of your target to hit it. Blaze waepons are the best all around, better range than Emalgha, and more effective than phase.

------------------
The last time I was on this board, the price of dumb questions was really high.
Ask me what I'm doing.

This forum is going to the bottom!

Noo!!! I won't let that happen, so I'm bringing it back to the top!

I'm using an unregistered so andrew can't complain that I'm making short, stupid
posts.

I use an arada. It's the only fighter that can mount 3 neutron cannons (I'd like have 4 of them, but it's impossible) and 1 neutron turret. If you want to stay outside voinian's weapon range, use neutrons. I pratically never use weapons with ammo (too expensive when you use them).

------------------
M'enfin!
Y'a personne qui parle français ici?

I never got used to neutron cannons.

They're just too big in my opinion.

I just use blaze cannons. Emalgha types are nice, but its a bother having to do the
route from UE to Emalgha space without weapons.

My Igazra has 3 emalgha cannons ad 2 neutron cannons and 3 rocket launchers with 40 rockets. This is only my offensive upgrades. I choose the cannons because for the two types above they are just as powerful as their turreted versions except you have to point them. Thats what the auto pilot is for. I have taken on the drednought head to head with this ship. I think I disabled the dreadnought but I am also pretty sure that I was blowing at the same time.
