What is your favourite ship?

  • Hi guys, if you notice my post count then you´ll realise I´m new around here <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Anyway I have to go with the Wolverine, why does nobody else like it? It´s armed to the teeth, got great armour and it looks nice too. I like to think of it as my &quot;bucket of death&quot; and I recon it thoroughly lives up to it´s name. As for blind fire, don´t need it, I´m a pretty reasonable aim <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Sushido - The way of the Tuna.

  • That and it´s slow. Assuming no stat changes with any editors, it´s max regular speed is 260 and 520 w/ afterburners. If you like it, and it´s working for you, great, all power to you! It does have good primary weapons, I just got frustrated not being able to catch any fighters trying to jump away. &quot;You Can´t Fight in Here, This is The War Room!&quot;

  • No blindfire - no point is my opinion..... I stayed with the Coyote for ages until the Patriot was given to me because none of the others had blindfire, only ever ship I´ve flown minus blinfire is the Grendel and I can never even get past the first level on that darn instant action!!!! <img src=smilies/icon_smile_evil.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

  • Once you´ve got used to the game and how the ships respond, you´ll find that you´ll do better next time. I couldn´t get past level 1 when I first tried. I either flew the Predator or Coyote so I could use the blindfire to ´prop up´ my bad piloting skills. Now I can easily get past level 6 of Instant action using a Grendel without blind fire. I tend to use full guns all the time as well. Individually, they lack the punch. Every space sim has it´s own handling. I´ve got dozens of space sim games and each one requires practice before you can even hit a static target without too much trouble. -- If I missile throw a Havoc at ya.

  • I just happen to notice something. The Phoenix ship looks an awful lot like the Centurian in the game Privateer. Mr. Roberts must have liked that older ship as well to carry similar specks into this game. The Phoenix...aaaaa....I want one! Creator of Privateer FAQ - life is a journey, not a destination!

  • I really like the Patriot/Coyote, or anything with blindfire. Shoud is also good, but who needs it when you got SLEdit to give ALL your ships cloak. kinda takes away from all the fun though

    Kyp The other day, in study hall, i farted really loud, you know...so the guys would laugh...and i swear it was so hanus that Susie Johnson almost ralphed up her salsbury steak. it was freakin sweet...

  • Extremely new here (please don´t look at the message count <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> ) Sounds like it´s for sale? Phoenix/Reaper are my choices...but I am new to the game...got it two days ago and have been working on the 24th mission since day one. So far, the speed of the Phoenix and firepower are very helpful in most missions... the Reaper is good for &quot;turkey shoots&quot; where firepower is needed over speed. I find what I like and stick with them...haven´t tri9ed many other ships yet so not sure how much I´d like them...Wolverine looks interesting, Mirage IV looks fun...will have to try those and the Patriot...see how well I can die <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Digger

  • Uhm I think I´m a bit out of the ordinary after reading those post´s above because my favorit fighters are the Naginata, the Mirage and the Patriot :-) . I only use the Shroud for the rescue mission (because u dont have another choise) and for the last mission.

  • btw. I know this might be a little off topic but how many kills did you had after the last mission? I had around 370-380 Kills.

  • Best I´ve done after mission 24 is 409 kills. I usually have a total kill count of around 380 (unless I play the game with edited ships...then it goes up to 500 <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>)

  • You can boost your killscore by ignoring Steiner when he orders you to blow the powercore of warpgate and keep killing fighters instead. He´s just worried that you will surpass his score. &quot;At my signal, unleash hell.&quot;

  • Personally i like the PHOENIX -overall best next The MIRAGE -another kick ass ship all u need is skill to fly this one... SHROUD-not really a fave ship but its nesscary to easily defeat other top gun shroud pilots..
