You forgot Neutrons and Emalgha! If Emalgha was included, it would be second last in the list, before the Plasma Siphon.

This typically will kill even the enhanced Azdgari fighters.

You'll want to get the shield regenerater and maybe some shield enhancements.

You can get a shield enchanchement, but not a regerator. Not without the Adzgari string, which means you cant get the Plasma Siphon.

Oops. I mixed up the words. I haven't played EVO for a while, and didn't really remember what the exact name was. Then again, you can get the tripple agent plug and do it anyway ;).

Actually you can get both, also without the triple plug. You just have to know how

The start Adzgari missions first, then take Igazra missions bug?

Edit- hehe, I have 999 posts. Like a max score or something. Next post will 1000, and I will reach the number of that only most active posters get!

Yeah, don't go ALL Neutron, I got attacked by a bounty hunter while in an Igazdra and I was destroyed by the fighters because they were to fast for my neutron to take out and I had no secondary. (yet)

Now I prefer to use either two neutrons and 3 phase or 3 neutron and 2 phase. Then you can kick butt in Crescent and Voinian space. The phase takes out the shields real fast and then the neutron goes for the armor.

I have heard people puting shield enhancers on the large warships. It really is not a good use of space as 1 shield enhancer boosts your shields by 5 points. Shield enhancers are much better used on fighters as a way to increase your shield recharge rate. (the time to recharge your shields stays constant while you get more shields, this is why your recharge rate is faster)

Shield recharge time is measure in frames that it takes to charge one unti of shielding. If you have ten units of shielding and it takes 15 frames per unit of shielding then it will take 150 frames to charge from 0 to 100 percent. If you add one shield enchancer your shielding is 15 units but your recharge rate stays the same. Instead of it taking 150 frames it now takes 225 frames to recharge from 0 to 100% shielding. Of course you do have that extra shielding.

The only outfits which actually increase your shield recharge rate are the shield generator and the experimental shield generator you get through the Azdgari mission string.

Actually the recharge time does not get longer because you added shields. This is why a Vionian fighter can be made to be almost invincible. You do not need to look in the evo bible to get this answer. Take an Voinian fighter with both shield recharge upgrades and a cloaking device. Hit the cloak. Your shields will come back quickly because you only have 2 shield units. Now add 4 shield enhancers. You will see it takes the same amount of time for your shields to come back. Except now you have 11 times the shields that you had previously. Add dospect to this ship and have fun. You will notice that you shield recharge rate is linked to your armor recharge rate. That is why you really can not be killed in the cresent with this ship. All I ask is that Pooty Applewater try what I have written before he or she replies.

Sorry to quote the entire thing, but I have an awful feeling you might go back and edit out some of the rather foolish things you've stated. You seem to be trying to squeeze a watermelon through an orange in terms of what you're starting as far as more being able to recharge faster without additional upgrades. As for the armor recharge rate, there is no such thing for the shield recharge rate to be linked to.

I see no reason to try this unless you at least make a modicum of sense as far as game variables and constants go.

------------------
The Burning!

Um, Pooty, will practical examples convince you then? I got a Azdara, I slapped on it a Shield Generator (the buyable one, not Experimental) and Dospect Armor. I replaced 3 Swivel Phase with 4 Blaze. Then I went to Outpost Alpha and looked for Voinian ships. I saw a Voinian Frigate and started beating on it. The Rockets were annoying because I was pushed back but my shields were regenerated fast. My shields went down fast enough under Neutron fire, but my armor regenerated so fast I didnt die. It got damaged by a few percent, but instantly regenerated. I couldnt die. Becuase of the short-rangedness of Blaze, I had to ocassionally come nearer, but in the end the Frigate was dead. As Jules said, try it out yourself before you reply.

"Foolish" is not a word I would use under 99.9% of the circumstances in my life to anyone. Pooty you need to get a handle on your ability to press the send button after you write an email. What I suggested in my previous email was only to be helpful in allowing a fellow player to have a fun ship to use. I asked one thing of you before you responded and you did not even try it. I thought an email with "wow that was a pleasent suprise", would be the answer to my email.

That's a Shield Generator. Jubee is referring to Shield Enhancers which add 5 shipyard units of shielding. Everybody is well aware that the Generators (both purchasable through the Azdgari and given through the Azdgari in the case of the experimental one) increase your rate of shield regeneration. That isn't what is being discussed here.

Erm, you're making even less sense now. You didn't send me an e-mail, I didn't send you an e-mail, and I really have no clue what you're referring to now.

I was referring to this quote by you, Pooty. Like I said, I was trying to be helpful. Use the information or don't. It just really erks me that you have been so condesending in your past couple of emails.

What's the point in using faulty information? It's not as though it'll do any good. I've still yet to figure out what e-mails you're referring to.
