    • What's your ship?


      OK...let's hear it:

      What are you flying around in?

      Give us details!

    • anything adzgari. i have a need for speed.

    • Personally, I'm flying in a Rebel Cruiser, outfitted with a ton of rockets, torpedoes, missiles, and proton cannons. It's been upgraded so it's nice and fast, with a good turn rate. It also has 4 Mantas.

      Its extras include a Cloaking Device and a Tractor Beam.

      I have around 13 million credits.

      I basically make a living off of pirates, disabling them and robbing them. My primary place to go is the Darven system. It's a great way to go -- it's fun, and everyone likes me. I'm even an Upstanding Citizen in a few Confed Systems (even though I work for the Rebels all the time, and have blown up countless Fed ships).

      I fly a rebel Cruiser with all the tweaks. I have a grip of torpedoes, turrets, cannons, javelins, particle beams.

      But it just wasn't enough, so I went into ResEdit and increased all the values last night. Its my first time doing that but what fun! I have ridiculous amounts of speed (700) manuevering (3 + steering upgrade) and weapons space (500 extra tons) the only thing is that increasing your shields doesn't seem to work. hmmm need to figure that out...

      I also changed the characteristics of the torpoedoes, so they fly faster than anything and do more dmage than anything (1000 !)

    • How do you guys fit so much onto your ships? I think robbing pirates can get boring, it's way too easy and doesn't bring in much cash.

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

    • Vellos Javelin, mmm dogfights. It provides the challenge I need instead of using long range attacks with missles, ect. I like to use it un-upgraded too, only the Vellos weapons.

    • Hmm, we have people flying EV, EVO, as well as EVN ships in EV. Very odd.

      Well, depending on which pilot file you're asking about, I'm either flying a Scoutship, Defender, Corvette, Kestrel, Rebel Destroyer, or Rebel Cruiser.

    • Right now I'm flying around in a defender, with a bunch of shuttlecraft escorts. Except I have the game set up so that the shuttlecrafts have the Heavy Fusion Beams. It's pretty sick.

    • I usually fly a rebel cruiser, destroyer, or a corvette. I upgrade them with all the tweaks, armor, as many cannons and turrets as I can, and the rest of the space for torps, missiles, and rockets (heavy and javelin). For GS I also have a ddt fighter bay.

      Nobody said we were dealing with quantum physics majors here.

      As for me, I generally end up in a Kestrel at the end unless I'm trying to do something spiffy which requiers a different ship.

    • In one of my pilots, I went from a shuttle to a scoutship, then to a Corvette until I beat the Rebel alien missions, and then, finally, a Rebel Cruiser.

      I later made a copy of that file and played Pale with that ship (love that extra space and added jumps! 🙂 )

      I don't think 3 (or 4) laser cannons is sufficient to dent it, is it?

    • It is, but it's slowwwww. I've never tried.

      My best pilot file has a Rebel Cruiser and six as escorts. It has all proton possible, and some laser to fill the gap. All speed, shield, armor, and fuel (ramscoop, afterburner, auto-refueller) upgrades, maybe some bombs, too, I forget.

      My second best has a Confed Cruiser and one as an escort. It has the same as the other, but with more laser and bombs.

    • I'm rather inclined to agree with Kevin on that last point, the League ships are quite neat.
