Death Scythe - SGTMatt - 07-01-2008
I started a new character last night just to try out the Death Scythe from the Junker base in omega 15. It seems like a pretty nice fighter, anyone have a suggestion to load it out. I have never seen anyone else fly one in the game.
Is there something wrong with it I don't know about?

its unique feature to have a torp and a cd slot is nice - but it has a weak powerplant and not much weaponpower at all. it turns like a brick and is easily defeated by both, very heavy fighters due to their much greater firepower, aswell as light fighters mk 2, cause they can easily outturn you - and have comparable firepower.
i tried the ship 3 or 4 times - and was always very disappointed. - a nice concept, but too weak to stand a chance against anyone ( except original vanilla HFs - like the defender, barracuda etc. )

That weak? That's just plain pathetic.

it's a unique fighter, not many players use it. I used to have one on one of my characters.
But really... I'm not sure a non-junker should use it, tinkerbell was pretty strict about it being our fighter. Besides that, it's not really that powerful - manuverability isnt great, and it has a horrible power core. Can only use class 6/7 weapons, and the torpedo slot isnt that useful - since the power core isnt good enough to fire razors or infernos.

Well with the armor of a LF, maneuvrebility of a HF powerplant of a well, something punny... size of a bomber...
I've tried it myself aswell... Gave it some Barragers... and what tha heck, a nova torpedo... I've found out only than that nova's require energy to fire (the ammount you don't have)...
While this ship could be the ultimate Very heavy bomber... It fails to be useful, due to the fact that it's soo outclassed...
You could strap on shield busters, and use it as a bomber, with a torpedo, to pirate freighters, and if the shock get's them so you can tax them... You've got it, if they decide to fight.... Ouch

It didn't seem that large when I was dinking around with it, ahh well. I will still give it a whirl. See how nice I can get it to be.

Shield busters? The lowest one is class 7 Debilitators, and it has class 6 and 7 slots, so you can't really put too many on. And the small-level ones are just bad.

I have class 3 sheild busters on my kith LF, I was beating up a bomber in New York last night with it.

well. The Cd torp combo could be very very useful. If it has a minedropper then it could be great, 2 debs and two low level other guns, that you don't really use, and see what you can do to vanilla fighters..
I might try this out for a giggle and see what happens

It has a backwards weapon loadout. 4 class 6, 2 class 7, a torp/dis slot dis slot and a mine slot. I can think of a few setups that would work well. Problem is that low level guns tend to fly off pretty quick.
With a sunslayer and a nuke, this could be pretty deadly.
Yeah I am pretty sure that a LF will rip this thing to pieces.
