NPC Balance

[marauder]

:)

I found and used this tactic alot when I first played the SP campaign.

I used a barracuda, agile, decent amount of armour and it packs alot of firepower in guns alone so if you run outta ammo your not totally buggered.

A tactic that use to be very good for doing missions fast was fitting at least 2 flak turrets on a BS.

Takes alot of practice to hit but when you do:crazy:you can watch a whole wing of 6 to 10 pop, occasionally you'd get the loot left and sometimes a crippled and burning VHF.

I use to fit 4 flaks and go after NPC cruiser groups, just firing at the cruisers would cripple/kill the fighters and it would only take 5 to 6 salvoes before the gunboats would go too:crazy:

Only one little drawback, when the flaks hit something... they had about a 1k blast radius, not good if you have friendlies near your target.
