Quote:A bomber with a CD and a nova. And many tizonas. Assign a key to the CD and other to the torpedo, so you can fire them independently.

But korrd, many tizonas would not help so much, since only freighters&Fighters have shield. Transports, trains and cap ships don't. So just 2 would be enough.

Quote:Personal Preferance, Battleship, able to defend itself against pesky house's, and players, and Can deal with a Train thats constanly using SB and nanos, not to mention a huge Cargo hold, and If your a good pilot asteroids are no problem, Only field i have problems in is Omi Minor.

I tried most of the battleships: Battlestar, Kusari, Liberty, Britonia and spinning was a major problem. I spun soo much I could not target and shoot. Also, I agree, asteroids are a major pain in the rear. Ram me, use missles, escape into asteroids, use thrusters and i cannot keep up.

Quote:Mabye a BS would be bad since lots of criminal systems ARE full of rocks... -.- I wouldn't think there is a perfect pirate's ship. I'd have thought cruisers were the best comprimise though, not too big and not too week.

My thoughts too, I have all four cruisers. One is loaded with Tizonas, one with a Mortar (can't fire a heavy mortar, not enough energy) and I can take pirates and Nomads easily, players are not so easy.

Would a gunboat be good? I think I will try a fighter next and see how it does. Nova torpedos can be a big damage dealer.
And, maybe I will convert CruiserDoc to a pirating cruiser to compare their effectiveness.

BabyDoc -Large train
DragonKnight -Kusari destroyer
CruiserDoc -Huegenot cruiser
Shadowen -Rheinland cruiser
Poseidon - soon to be [MiD]The_Enforcer[Ace] bad guy/pirate

BabyDoc: Large Train
DragonKnight: Liberty Assault Frigate
Shadowen: Albatross Frigate
[MiD]The_Enforcer[Ace]: Rheinland bomber
[DJC]The_Kraken: Heugenot Cruiser

I would use 3 tizzies, 2 cerberus, a nova, a supernova and a hornet. That would allow me to bring down shields pretty fast, have something to use against fighters and the means to stop transports from running.
Haven't tried that yet. My current "bad guy" ship is a maxed out Sabre. I love that ship. I think it's the best fighter from vanilla FL... Some people might not agree (*cough* Dab *cough*), but with that Sabre, i can destroy an Eagle in ~20 seconds, sometimes less. Depends on opponent skill...

No, it does not require SBs, NBs to take out a BS. I've done it plenty of times, and only when fighting really good BS pilots do I have to use SBs/NBs. Which means Angel, Kane, Korrd, Vtec, and Nightfall in caps. As long as I have 2 tizzys and a nova mine or torp launcher I can take it down. Hopefully that changes in next version though. Not even I should be able to take it out alone, unless the guy never shoots back or something.

...

Look at the date of the other posts in the topic. The guy who originally asked the questions isn't even around anymore.

I can only say one thing.

GRAVE DIG!!!

Just because I brought this up in that other thread...


Look at the dates!

I am a long-absent Supreme Commander, Executive Commander, Grand Admiral, Fleet Admiral, and Captain in the mighty Hellfire Legion. I have returned, and am on an urgent mission from Drake Thastus to return the Legion to its former glory, and to claim the galaxy for its own. Only then will I be able to rest.
