Anki - Got any tips?

[Fletcher]

So I'm going to be setting up a few Anki's for some nefarious purposes, aka the rape and slaughter of Bowex in the name of Kishiro "Rapeth ™" Technologies. And hi Jamie:nyam:

I've never flown, or even seen these ships in my memory so what is the a good way to set one of these up for raiding, or protected shipping?

I plan to have freighter v freighter battles for fun and activity.

I'm using a full Disinfector Anki. Dropping shields can be a pain, so go for two Deb guns if you're concerned about that. Full Disinfector turrets do the job though. For the guns, use either class 9 or 8s. The 9s have more punch, but will drain your plant quicker. It means 8s are better for long fights. Alternately, go for CODEs, but you'll have to be a shotgun pro to pull that off well.

Armour is mandatory. Nukes or Screamers are a good idea. If you've got the Debs, Screamers are a bad idea. Nukes will bolster your hull damage. They're not much use against transports though, while Screamers are. Screamers can even drop gunboat shields, making them useful in a group fight. Well, so long as you're very sneaky, or the gunboat pilot is an idiot and sits still.

For shields, you've two choices of class six freighter. The most expensive has tons of shield points, but takes forever to regen or return. It'll also suck up all of your shield batteries when you recharge it yourself. The slightly less expensive class 6 has a much better regen and return rate, but less shield points. It'll suck up most of your shield batteries, but not all of them.

You can get the class 8 guns on Nansai Research Centre in Kyushu. Everything else can be grabbed on Barrier Gate, except for Nuke mines. Conveniently, you can get to Barrier Gate through Baffin, while you're on the way to Leeds. :P

Very cool very cool, cheers Jammi, can't wait to trial the Anki against the boys.

Also, I can't wait to try my Cannonball and CODE Anki out, though for now the CODE's will be swapped for something else. Damned prices.

Until then, still setting up.

The flaming chicken will have its fun:lol:

On a sidenote, why Kishiro as Bowex killers? Isn't Kishiro RP much less nationalistic, millitant than Samura's?

[jammi]

Yup. But Bowex has been causing hellish amounts of trouble in Okinawa, Honshu and around Stokes. These are all extremely major Kishiro zones of interest. Taking Bowex's freighters down is just prudence on their part.

Well, that and a Samura group already exists. :P

Anki = (badly done) Homeworld import = Don't use it.

Along with the Clydesdale, it's the best combat freighter in the game.

When you look at it in the station, it looks like cat excrement that has been ingested, vomited up, then had further excrement deposited in it. That bad. Ingame, it looks pretty good from behind. The shape is pleasing, and the engine glare covers the worst of the damage.

If you're flying with Anki wingmen (which I do), you'll usually be too far away from each other to see their awful textures anyway. So long as you're more than 100m away and moving, that'll be the case, really.

Plus, terrible models can be replaced. But you try and find an alternate Kusari combat freighter, I dare you.
