Hardpoint Indecision... - LeeMc - 01-16-2009
Right, I've been mulling this over for a while now...
I can't decide wether to devote my one free GB hardpoint to a missile turret or a shield-buster (I suddenly forget the name, it's a golden ball of light anyhooo).
The current set-up is good vs. both fighters and caps, and I want it to maintain that balance... So any experienced GB fliers out there with some words of wisdom would be most appreciated.
Thanx in advance:)

What kind of GB? Is it a rear firing only turret or a normal one?
Hardpoint Indecision... - LeeMc - 01-16-2009
Forward firing, top-rear mounted HP on a Corsair GB...
Never thought to mention that... good thinking Batman:)

In there current state a missile turret will help you against both fighters and caps, as they confuse the targeting... Jura used to use them to great effect (he pwnt my lib cruiser often enough with his rogue GB).
What have you got on it at the moment?

At present it's sporting a very nifty little Order Missile Turret. I would go with both in an ideal world, but i'm a slut for symmetry on my ship... I get quite obsessive about it:)

With the utterly daft number of guns the corsair handbag has, I think you could quite easily get away with having that missile without sacrificing much anti-cap punch, and giving yourself something to confuse the targetting with. Seems like you're onto a winner there.

In that case, i'll just leave it 'as-is':)
It seems to do the trick, especially where Nomad BS's are involved:)
I have to ask, what is this strange Hugh Laurie epedemic all about?
Tis' most strange:)
I only ask because I was watching Jeeves & Wooster this morning, and giggling like a twat to myself

Ask Eppy. This isn't the thread for it though... Go have a look in flood if you wanna know more.
