I just stumbled across the Mafic per chance a few days ago and immediately liked it's clunky, rough design. I don't think it was in the original Freelancer, was it?
In any case, I couldn't resist and bought it. It's currently equipped with 5 Class 2 turrets and 2 class 6 guns. Can you give me an idea where I can get better weapons?
And while I'm posting, does anyone know where I can accept missions vs Xenos suitable in difficulty for a Mafic outfitted as described above?
Well, I have PG turrets as backfire guns, Adv. Debs mark 1 as the top-turrets (fire in all directions), on the chin-mount a PG-turret as a tracer, 2 Golden blades (650 pr.speed, synches almost with the PG 700 speed) and, of course a SNAC.
And since you can't do anything against Eagles in a Mafic, a Ripper-mine (80 speed, 10.000 damage) to keep them busy while I get away. Works fine together with the four backfire-guns.
And it's not the poor man's gunship, the tactics are quite different to flying a gunship.
And don't put on all Advanced Deb. turrets, I tried that and it does not work well. You have no problem taking out someone's shields in a Mafic; the problem starts after that because your target will wiggle around a lot with the shields gone.
Give me a notice when you are ready equipping it, I would love to have a fight just Mafic against Mafic.

Usually a combination of Vengeances and Debs is good on most ships using Liberty Tech.
It has a good damage ratio and a good speed.
Still, I never piloted a Mafic.
Also, while powerful and energy efficient (They got one of the lowest power per second ratio of all class 9 guns) they are slow as hell so they are easier to dodge.
Missiles like a paralyser and a canonball for the two gun slots can be a good idea since its a slow ship. But more will be frowned upon.
